finest students absent upon its great
errand, must indeed contemplate the
life problem which II presents.
For this reason we greatly like tho
address which President Hopkins of
Dartmouth made to his undergradu-
ates the other day. He turned away
from scholasticism and looked to lie
and its successful conformation for the
motive of that sort of scholarship
which. in his view, makes men ana
patriots. In his words he has the
sound and sober man in view Not
education for the satisfaction of IT,.
for the ornament of 1t. not even for
the contentment of II, but for the
manhood and strength of it-that is
the idea which Doctor Hopkins puts
forward. And there is one particularly
significant incidental phrase in his
remarks:
THE great thing in all education is
to make our nervous system our ally
instead of our enemy"
That is something which our high
pressure education often fails to do,
A man in war is certainly only as
good as his nerves. Nor is he any
better than they In the warfare of
life. The man who has thoroly
trained and subjected his nerves in n
useful and an important employment,
even tho he never saw the benches
OF high school, Is a better educated
man than the neurotic graduate of two
universities.

Snapshots Of Kaleidoscope Work.
In all the big cities In France where
our men pass through In large num-
bers, the Y. NJ. G. A. is operating
hostels, where they can get beds and
meals at minimum cost. In London
the American Y. NJ. c. A. mas erected
q large building for our soldiers and
clubhouse for American officers.
There are Y. M. C. A. dugouts right
behind the front line trenches, where
the soldiers can get hot drinks, crack.
ers and other comforts at all hours.
Over 1000 men who had been reject.
ed on account Of physical disability
have been able to get into the British
army by reason of the physical work
of the British Y. M. GA.
A feet OF motor cars leaves the big
Y. M. c. A. headquarters in London at
midnight every night to pick up SOL
diers who are wandering about the
streets without any wholesome lodging
in which to spona the night. These
cars are operated by Englishwomen
OF position and refinement, who report
that they never meet any discourtesy
at the hands OF the soldiers. The i'm
poftance OF this service can be esti.
mated by the fact that at least $4,000
soldiers are on leave in London every
week. Over half OF these sleep in Y.
NJ. c. A. beds every night
Entertainment on Vast Scale.
The Y, M. C. A. has erected a big
auditorium, seating 5000, in each oil

ming q 20 week entertainment circuit
among the camps and is paying IL

travelling to 30 camps performing be
fore the men.
In each of the draft camps the Y
M. c. A. has ten secretaries engaged
in educational work. The association
Is seeing to It that every man who
cannot speak English is taught to dC
so. In many OF the camps the asso

Of the Y. M. c. A. men have left lucra

the famous Scotch singer and come
dian, now on his farewell concert toui
In the United States, is giving all hi
