BLAZING THE WRONG TRAIL

One of the leading farm journals
of the south is authority for the
statement that in the rural high
schools of North Carolina seven
thousand children are studying Latin.
while only seven hundred are study
ing agriculture.
The significance of these figures
Is not grasped until we learn that of
the pupils attending high school in
this country nit more han one per
cent ever reach the college or uni
versity.
When we assimilate the further
fact that the high schools do not
and cannot impart working know
ledge of the Latin language. we be-
gin to appreciate the utter foolishness
of an educational system that forces
upon children the study of a dead
language from which not one in
1000 will ever benefit.
The above figures may vary in
other states-we hope they do. But
they serve to call forcibly to our
attention glazing fault in the school
system of the United States.
Any system that requires boys and
girls (who in many cases can ill
afford the time to attend even a
high schooD to waste from a quarter
to a fifth of their school life on a
study that will never benefit them

WORLDS LANGUAGES

II you are asked how many Ian
guages there are in the world can
you give anything like an accurate
answer? The average persons know

rarely exceeds two besides his native
tongue. The late Emperor Francis
Joseph, when visiting a Red Cross
hospital, spoke with the patients in
their own languages, which showed
that the aged emperor was master of

nevertheless true, that there are over
1000 languages spoken by mankind,
while the number of dialects exceeds

dialects. Their are hundreds in Bor-

THE USES OF ADVERSELY

Nothing is truer than that contin-
ued and sustained prosperity will
enervate and undermine the physical.
mental and moral stamina of any
people. The human animal is all
too prone to overindulge in the good
things of life. Put a man on his
metal TO wrest existence from a re-
luctant world. and in the effort every
fiber OF his being is necessarily de-
veloped to the uttermost. and he
energies an invincible specimen of
the fighter.
So with the nations Given all
that heart can wish, and left to revel
unhindered in the indulgence of that
plenty, the national fiber must in
ev'tably deter o,at4.
Any crisis that jars men out of
their ease cannot fail to work good
to that people. With no dispositiin
to minimize the evils of the present
conflict, we are bound to realize that
the world is waking up to a view
OF life that it had we'll nigh lost
Life is struggle. and when struggl-
ing ceases, decay sets in.
When the smoke of the present
conflict has cleared away and the
world takes stock or results. we will
be found to have learned many valu-
able lessons. One great lesson in
evitable-that of heroic lives that
must of necessity be sacrificed
This is deplorable. yet these lives
viii have been given in the most
glorious of causes-the renewing and
vitalizing of the life of the nations.
From the dawn of history to the
present day. sybarties and sensu-
alists have professed to deride and
scott at the spiritual virtues of re-
nunciation and self sacrifice. Yet
the decree remains as unalterable
today as when enunciated by the
Man of Gallilee. that whatsoever
loseth his life shall find it,"
We OF America have not vet touch

IL is when the giving assumes the
