BOXING LIKED BY SOLDIERS
Art Of self.oefense Has for Long Time
Been Encouraged In English
Army and Navy.

The introduction of the manly art Of
solf-defense into the training work of
the various military camps throughout
this country viii be a good thing for
the young soldiers.
In England boxing has for a long
time been encouraged In the army and
navy.
Many noted British professionals are
men who learned TO box while serving
in the ranks or on shipboard in the
royal service.
II is a certainty that from now on
the same ideas will be carried out In
this country, and II is sure to follow
that boxing gloves will be part Of the
equipment Of every cncampment of the
American soldiers and of every Ameri-
can man-Of-war.

CASH IN THE PENNIES

Nobody knows what becomes Of the pins Neither
does anyone seem to know what becomes of tho pennies.
the federal government is coming pennies right along,
millions OF them, and In spite Of the constant additions
the supply never seems to increase, while just now there
rs q verita4le penny famine. The shortage exists all over
the country, and in places 1t causes real Inconvenience.
A Grand Forks man while in an eastern city a few days
ago drew q quantity Of small change from his pocket to
pay Tor a small purchase. The dealer noticed that among
the coins were a number Of pennies, and he asked for
them instead Of small silver, saying that it was absolutelv
impossible to keep enough pennies on hand to make
change. f
The shortage Is felt in Grand Forks, and while the
banks ship in some pennies they are unable to get AZ
many as they wish, and customers applying for i've dol
lars worth Of pennies for instance, are given perhaps a
collars worth, in order to make the supply last
Millions of pennies are stored away in children,s banks
Perhaps that is what becomes Of most Of them. At any
cate 1t Is believed that II these coins could be rot into
circulation the scarcity would be very materially re-
#lieved. The suggestion is made that wherever possible
these banks and other receptaeles Of pennies be emptied
Sand me coins be exchanged for silver or other currency.
these would make no inroads in these deposits. and 1t
would help to relieve the shortage in the supply Of coins
which. while small and humble, are very necessary in
carrying on the business Of the country. Cash in the pen
niles and see how it will work.

CHILDREN AND BOOKS

The children in an Oregon city have been giving
their opinions of the books supplied by the public IL
brary in that city. According to the dispatches telling Of
the vote, the Alser and Henty books. which were once
just the thing for boys, are almost universal
~ condemned by the youthful readers. However, the
authors Of those masterpieces would have no REASON 70
feel greatly depressed over this result, for their books
merely share the fate of "Old Curiosity Shop" Pilgrims
Progress, alice in Wonderland" and other classics.
The news article is confined, unfortunately, to a
statement Of what the youngsters do not like. We are
left in the dark as to what they do like, II, indeed, they
like anything in the way of reading. On this latter point
there is room for some doubt. In a certain high school,
out OF some 500 pupils barely a dozen had ever read a
book through, according to statements made by the pu-
pills themselves in answer to inquiries by the principal.
Tho Inquiries. Of course, related to books read voluntarily
by the young people for their own instruction or enter
tainment, and not to school texts. It would be interest
ing to know What the results would be of q nationwide
inquiry among children Of uniform ago. It would be
interesting, too, if it were possible, to know how the pro-
portions now compare with those Of a generation ago.
The reading Of books does not sem to be one of the
favoatte employments of modern youth. Our young peo-
pie read. of course. 1t may be said that they read a great
deal. Doubtless they read more than their parents did
when the latter were young. But the reading is Of a
different class. Newspapers and magazines form the bulk
of it, and these are prepared for quick perusal rather
than for pernnanence. Then the moving picture has taken
the place Of q great deal Of reading. There the story n
told sketehiy, only the high spots being touched, and the
eagae. youth gets more satisfaction out Of seeing an en-
tire drama spread before him in an hour than in spend
ing days wadins through the pages Of a book that tells
aoo eautI " Y IN tnis way he gets one story today, another
tomorrow. and 20 on, and by next week he WIN have for
gotten them all. His father. II he was a reader in his
youth, might spend a month over a book, and would
probably remember some Of it.
1t is not certain that a smaller proportion OF the
young people Of today than q former generation read
books. It is certain that in the earlier period books con-
stituted a greater proportion Of the matter read. There
were not 80 many books, it is true. but there was very lit
tie OF anything else. 1t may be that as many young peo-
pie read books now as formerly, and that the casual read
ing OF newspapers and periodicals Of today represents
a net addition to the reading of the rising generation.
Who knows?
