It will not all be re- quired at once and it's collection and distribution will extend over a con siderable period. A factor of i'm portance thus far overshadowed by other considerations is the crop out look, which is not by any means satis- factory. Winter wheat conditions generally are poor, but fine growing weather from now might of course improve the prospects for spring wheat. The world needs good har- vests, but conditions are still adverse to cheap food; in fact the food prob lem promises to become a serious one unless the war soon ends.

the individuals pass on without any
wish of returning. Examinations are
hard ordeals but 1t Is a way the man
ayers Of schools have of letting peo-
pie to better conditions when they
are qualified. Wars are hard ordeals
and people have tried to do without
them, but perhaps we shall find It
is way the Managers of worlds
have of letting people pass on to bet
ter conditions. The hopes and fears
we suffered in school seemed real at
the time. The hopes and fears and
the anguish Of war seem very real
to mortals and we wonder why it
has to be, but 1t is, it has been and
apparently it will be. And as the
sun rises on Labor day. and sets as
usual, let us cultivate the hope and
faith that in the realization of eterni-
ty we can look back upon the great
struggle of the world war as we now
look back upon the struggles of
school days. Perhaps, after all, the
world is only class room, a grade
we have to enter, master and leave
behind.
