SCOUTS AND cAMPElREs.

The revival of interest in the
Scouts and Campfire Girls is a good
sign, for more than any other eia-
cational appliance they appeal to the
spirit of the boy or girl. They iucal-
cate self-reliance, courage, courtesy,
diligence-qualities that occupy the
very heights of education and are of
1ar more Importance than all the
knowledge or mental discipline that
can be got out of the textbooks. The
scouts and the campfires are to draw
out the finest qualities of the youtb
those qualities that constitute true
manhood and womanhOod. A good
scout troop is better for a boy than
a high school, but there is no reason
TO make comparison, for every high
school should use the scout principle
in developing the boys and girls, and
If it hasn't it omits its highest duty,
says Ohio State Journal. You do not
make scholar of boy or girl and ig-
more the high qualities o. manhood and
wOmanhood. You cannot imagine such
thing as a scholar being lazy cow
ardly, diScourteous, selfish and mean.
That is not scholarship, and that is
the very thing the scout movement
is calculated to get u boy away
from.

"a sense of the dramatic is, Of
course, closely connected with a sense
of humor. If you have this faculty for
getting outside yourself and criticizing
Yourself, you will be pretty sure to see
whether you look ridiculous. If you
are a real artist in the exercise of the
gift you will also see yourself in your
right perspective with regard to other
people. The artist must not be an
egoist. He must not allow the lime
light to be conferred on himself. He
will see himself, not as the hero of
the story, but as one of the characters
the hero, perhaps, of one chapter,
but equally a minor character in the
others. The greatest artist of all. prob
ably is the man who prays, and tries
to see the story as the author designed
IT. He will have the truest sense of
proportion, the most adequate sense of
humor of all. Undoubtedly prayer is
the highest form of exercising this
sense of the dramatic.-From "a Stu
dent in Arms"

we are often urged to study the ant

nv and efficiency, but these are not
tba only insects who know how TO

oueens for each colony. They build
their nests of the paper which they
manufacture out of wood pulp, gather

old fence wood, with jaws that are
crowded with pincers. 1t is water

and are hard workers. They hide
tbrough the winter in sheltered places,
but never in their own nests, and they
come forth in the spring to help build
new nests and lay more eggs, one in
pach six-sided cell of the paper comb.
These paper makers go ahead of bees
and ants in some of their methods, for,
paturalists say, they do things with
less fluster and more precision.

Lord Northcliffe has had reason to
study the subjects of press censorship
and news leakage to the enemy. What
he says carries a strong appeal to COM
mon sense. 1.-The really deadly high ex-
plOsive news" he declares, '1s not
newspaper news, but the news sent out
by spies in code to neutral countries
for transmission to Germany" The
remedy for this situation, he reasons.
is not censorship of the press, but in
spection of letters and cable messages
sent by correspondents in this country
to addresses in foreign lands. Press
censorship in his opinion is not only
inefficacious but distinctly disadvanta-
geous to the country which resorts to
it, as it tends to impair efficiency by
hiding mismanagement.

"Save the wedding riceY' is the cry
of cOnservationists in France. 1t is
taken up by the New York World. Sure
ly it is wicked to waste good grain by
flinging it away when there are peo-
pie who lack food. A French editor
who undertakes to 90 into calculation
computes that five pounds of rice are
thrown away az every American we'd
ding, and that if the practice were
abandoned it would result in the saw
ing of thousands of tons yearly. This
is a tremendous overestimate. The
Frenchman's conception of American
wastefulness has carried him too far.
