 Byron the ancient Persians taught three useful things. ''to ride a horse, to run, to speak the truth" with special stress on that last. Once, we are told, when certain foreigners ap- piled at the Persian court for an 'alli- ance with that power, then the master of the known world. the Persian king, finding that they were so devoted to trading and chaffering that they had installed Q market square in their city, dismissed them with brusque rebuke. Never, he declared should Persia stoop to an alliance with people so unworthy that they deliberately set aside the central square of their city

There are all sorts of fads in mod ern education" What, will come next no one would dare predict.
 But, what is needed most of all is return to the old teaching of simple, common honesty; of the virtue of truth; of the enormity of falsehood; of the sacredness of ones pledged work.
 Such teaching need not trench on theological borders. Nor should it be based on any selfish appeal to greed, such as the defense of honest as the best policy. Honesty Is honest, no matter whether it is the baSt policy or not. The true man keeps his word as exactly when it hurts him as when it profits him.
