dation of the character which the child
acquires.
Habits of courteous speech, for ex-
ample, may be mere limitations of other
peoples speech, and very different
from what the child would use II neg
lected in this regard. Yet as ii be-
comes habit 1t constitutes a distinc-
tive part of the persons character. Ii
is through the little tricks Of Difference
and pOlteness that n child learns re-
spect, and it is from this that he de-
velops an appreciation for the quail
ties that we wish him to look up to.
And that suggests the second ele-
ment that enters into the character"
that can be trained or cultivated. The
comparison between young children
and adults shows US that another diff
ference in their characters lies in the
comparative instability of the childs
likes or dislikes, and of his standards
Of right and wrong. Beginning with
nearly direct imitation Of what he
sees his parents do he comes in a few
years to imagine himself doing things
that he hears of others doing. When
he begins to read about the exploits
of great heroes he projects himself
into the characters of history or
legend, and for the time being he
lives in the character that is upper
most In his interest. In this way he
absorbs from his immediate surround
ings and from his reading and asso-
ciates the ideals and principles that
will give stability and color to his con-
duct-that is, his character.

KEEP LAND BUSY;

As Soon as One Crop Is OF the Land

ture, University OF Arkansas.
Help feed the Arkansas troops and
their horses. Put something on stub
bic land as soon as possible, and do
everything to help produce a surplus.
Make your land work as far as possi-
bic all the time. AS soon as the oat
and wheat crops are off the land, plant
something and keep the teams and la
borers busy. Remember, you are
working for Arkansas now.
The crops which can still be plant
ed at this season OF the year are the
old stand-sys-the cowpeas, peanuts,
sorghum and sweet potatoes. Aside
from these can be mentioned the soy
bean and late corn. The velvet bean
can still be planted for forage or soil
Improvement The yields OF forage
from these late planted crops are good
even though lighter than can usually
be expected from the earlier plant
ings. A combination OF sorghum and
COW peas, seeded with a grain drill
will probably produce as large a yield
OF forage as anything Corn planted
in rows f1ve or six feet apart with
cowpeas. soy beans, or peanuts, drill
ed through the middle is a good prac-
tice where grain is desired and the
forage can be pastured. Planting
cowpeas or soy beans in the row with
corn makes an excellent combination
for the silo, especially on good soils.

a bright child assOrbs the teachings
offered him and develops a character
that is very far from satisfactory,
while among the less gifted" children
are evolved useful and lovable spirits
that amply compensate for the rela-

common knowledge; yet we continue
to be puzzled about ii without making
any effort to clear up our understand

act as thought the development Of the

The fact is that while knowledge
may be converted into power 1t Is In
itself very far from being a substitute
for wisdom. And still more remote is
1t from character. We know that chill
dren can learn knowledge; the impor-
tant question for us is, can they ac-
quire character?
When we compare an infant with an
older child and with an adult we MAY
see that the lack Of Character" on the
part of the infant means that the child
has not yet developed fixed habits in

Rev. DR.. Radcliffe Sees Hand

A comprehensive review Of the import

year was given in yesterdays sermon by
the Rev. Wallace Radcliffe, of the New
York Avenue Presbyterian Church
"Ninetsen-sixteen has been a year of the
Mighty Hand Of the Most High. II has
been year of evangelism. a year OF
notable movement toward the regenera'
ton and Righteousness" he said.
"It has been a golden year for the re.
public. The resources Of our national
banks exceed by s1oo, 900 the total re-
sources of the Bank of England, France
Germany, Italy. Spain, Russia, Austria
Denmark, Switzerland. the Netherlands

revolt, the reversion OF China to nominal
republicanism, the Panama congress with
its federated professionalism, and over all
the bloodstains and through all the
deafening roar and carnage of the Euro
pean war; add to the history of the year,
significance and prophecy"

DR.. Radcliffe also spoke at length on
the great historians and poets, warriors
and statesmen and rulers whose anniver-
sary was celebrated during the past year.
Many American writers, such as Jack

Whitcomb Riley and Henry James, all
of whom died during 1916, were men,
toned as a loss to humanity.

republic, and the mad King Otto. of Ba-
yaria. are among the noted dead of the
past year"
The pastor also paid tribute to the
great living educators, philanthropists
physicians, teachers of the Gospel and
the military leaders of our country. Nor
did he neglect the captains of finance
nor our scientists. Art and artists, law
and lawyers, books and authors OF 1s1t
