WILSON URGES YOUNG
TO MASTER SCIENCES
Will Be Needed In War, He Says.
Wants Schools to Keep
Courses Open.

Educational institutions have been
their normal courses In the various
branches of applied science, so far as
possible, during the war. In a letter
to Secretary of Interior Lane the presi-
dent called attention to the fact that
any unnecessary limit on the develop
ment of trained men would lessen the
country's chances for success.
The letter was written in response
to a question by Secretary Lane as to
advising colleges and especially tech
meal institutions to continue their pres
ent courses. The presidents answer
reads:
"The question which you have
brought to my attention is of the very
greatest moment. 1t would, as you
suggest, seriously impair Americas
prospects of success in this wal If the
supply of highly trained men were un-
necessarily diminished.
'There will be need for a larger
number of persons expert In the vari-
Gus fields of applied science than ever
Abefore. Such persons will be needed

| therefore have no hesitation in urging
colleges and technical schools to en-
deavor to maintain their courses as far
as possible on the usual basis.
There will be many young men
from these institutions who will serve
in the armed forces of the country.
Those who fall below the age of selec-
tive CONSUMPTION and who do not enlist
may feel that by pursuing their courses
with eagerness and diligence they also
are preparing themselves for valuable
service to the nation.
Il would particularly urge upon the
young people who are leaving our high
schools that as many of them as can
do so avail themselves this year of the
opportunities offered by the colleges
and technical schools to the end that
the country may not lack an adequate
supply of trained men and women

THE D OF THE FLAG

The breath of joy was in the air.
A Maytime beauty everywhere,
Yet dark beneath my feet it lay
As 'twere a blot upon the day.
A shadow wavering to and fro
I looked to understand-and, 10,
The shadow of the fagl
The sweet winds from the orchard came
They caught each scarlet stripe afiame.
The white stars cleaned upon their blue.
A glorious banner twas to view.
But as it filled and foated free
The sun played hide and seek to see
The shadow of the flag
Emerging from the storm clouds wrack,
A phantom army struggles back.
To English and Canadian home
Exhausted. broken, MANNED, they come.
A mighty sacrifcial host
Survivors of wars holocaust,
The shadows of the flag.
And millions meath the torn ground lie.
Unfolding great Deaths mystery.
Their youth was fair; they gave 1t all,
Upspringing at the trumpet call.
Was need to give 1t? Answer ye
Who sent to Immortality
These shadows of the flag.
o God, ~omnipotent, bend down:
Compel O world in chaos thrown;
Mans power Is naught; thy power Is stiIl
The same that spoke from Sinafs hill
Speak now, with stern authority,
That our dim eyes may never see
Such shadows of our flag.
