COLLEGE AND THE WAR.

The colleges foreseeing a slump in
attendance are earnestly seeking the
assistance of the press to prevent
siruation so disastrous to the schools
and in The long run as disastrous to
the country. AS in all wars the COL
lege men and those about TO enter col
leges have joined the colors in vast
numbers. The fact is that III time g
war volunteering is as selective as the
draft. II appeals to the best and mn
est and most patriotic of youth as
well as to ,the most adventurous ana
plucky Joined to the great NUMBER
of volunteers is also the thousands OF
conscripts who otherwise would nave
gone to college.
II is A serious situation. The schools
need the students and the students
need the schools. The country Will
need the men who are to be turned out
by the schools. That we do not real
ize fully at present But we shall real
ize it a few years hence in all our in
dustries and professions If the school
attendance slumps greatly,
Life and business and the activities
of the world are to go on during and
after the war OF course nobody
knows how long this war shall endure
and how many and how much it shall
require of US in men and money; but
the world Is not coming to an end
with this war. If 1t continues long
without doubt many of those who
should enter colleges this fall will be
called to do their part at the front
but that is no reason why every youth
should not make the best of his pres
ent opportunity. To be sure the COM
mercial industrial and agricultural call
for men will open a great many appar-
ent opportunities to what seems high
wage but after the war the specialist
in occupation will take the high places.
The demand for men who know how to
do one thing better than other men is
certain to be abnormal after the war:
for when the struggle on the field is
over another great struggle Is to take
place in the fields of peace. Every
nation will be seeking to rebuild to its
commercial and Industrial advantage,
The man who Is fitted to lead In this
struggle will hold the high command
Moreover, II the college youth is called
to the colors he will have lost nothing
but gained by the time he has spent in
school
Another thing that is in the future;
the stay at home youth will need ali
that he can gain in order to hold his
own against the strong, capable, hard
ened men who come home. The schools
will be full of them. They will have
learned much that those who stay at
home can never learn at home, lessons
OF self discipline, the habit Of doing
strict attention to duty. And they will
ioe hard competitors. The men who
come home clean and able and force
full will take place by their owr
strength and they will be given first
chance from mere gratitude for their
service and sacrifice. 1t will require
strong ard able men with specia
knowledge to hold their own agains
the million who shall come back look.
ing for and demanding their own.
He is a wise youth who neglects
nothing that shall point toward sue
cess.

SAM VAULX. JR., IS SIX.
With Big Boy Cap, and Ability to
 Whistle, Youngster is Happy.
Designs by May Mant on

Sam, the little son of MT. and Mrs. S. F. Vaulx, was years of age Mon day, and celebrated the day by dis playing delight over several birthday remembrances received from his par ents and friends. One of these was a cap, for which the youngster has long longed. So proud of this evil dence of "big boyhood" is Sam that he wanted to wear it to bed. When his mother objected, he insisted that she put it on chair near the bed where his eyes could rest upon it as soon as the sandman departed, finding more delight in this than the Astor kid in his$300 motorbile.
 Another story is being told on Sam, Jr. It ought not be repeated, per haps, but it is too good to keep. Sam has just learned to whistle, and he's quite proud of the accomplishment. Proves he's getting to be regular boy. But apparently, he's afraid he may forget, for he is reluctant to let many minutes pass without practic- ing. Partaking of meals interiors with Sam's plans, because his parents decline to let him whistle at the table. Sam, politely excuses him. self, goes to another room, whistles few bars, and then returns to his meal. All of which goes to show that Sam, Jr., is regular boy"
