One View Of the Study Of LatIn.

II one does not study things becauss
they train the mind" why, then,
should one study them? The answer
Is extraordinarily simple. One studies
things because they serve a purpose
/ do not say. mark you, useful pur
pose, but a purpose-a valid purpose, Z
genuine purpose. not make believe
purpose.
Mental discipline is IT valid OF
genuine purpose-it's make believe.
Meanwhile the number Of purposes. of
genuine, valid purposes, is simply In
finite. Learning to read yergil Is, of
course, just as valid a purpose as learn
Ing to play a symphony or learning to
bake pumpkin pie. The test Is, how
ever, not, Did the student get mental
discipline? but, Can he read and en-
Joy ,Vergil? Can he play the symphony
viii some one eat the pie?
And because people rarely care to
Nfead Vergil, because almost none of
the thousands who study Latin ever
can or do read yergil, therefore, In so
Tar as they are concerned. studying
Latin has no purpose AID cannot be
defended as mental discipline.-Abra

CamOufIage.

"CamOufl 4ge" is a much over
worked expression or word which
requires an illustration to define it.
Here is one Aexample, Swift and
Company, on paper, are meat pack
ers, which would lead one to believe
that this company only deal in
meats, but as a matter Of fact It
deals in butter, poultry, eggs, fruits,
canned goods. vegetables and rice.
or course it is natural that this
company should deal in the by
products of the packing business,
such as fertilizers, soaps, etc, but
owing TO its name it uliSleads the
public and in so doing is enabled to
steal march on the local dealer
as we'll as the producer and govern
the market on any particular line
it may choose. For instance, a
local dealer poultry whom the
Swift Packing Company wishes to
bring under subsection suddenly
finds that his business is falling off
He once goes out to see why the
poultry has quit coming and why
his competitor in the next town is
getting all the eggs and other coun-
try produce The producer informs
the poultry dealer that he is selling
his cream 10 MIR. - for a very
satisfactory figure ard that 10 order
to continue TO receive the same he
must market his poultry and eggs
at a certain place. Now don't un'
derstand that threats and coersion
are used openly and indiscriminate
ly but through the influences
brought to bear on the victim al
the Opportune time by a corpora
ton which hides its identity under
a very innocent appearing name, {
"camouflage," the trick is turned
and Mr.. Poultry dealer must dance
to Swift and Company. Meat Pack
ers or quit business.

Victory For Psychologists.

Those who have been amusing
themselves over the possible dis
comfiture of the experimental
psychologists who recently set out
to make tests of the various canton
ments will have their laugh for their
pains, since certain trials recently
made at Camp Dix, at Wrights-
town. have proved the efficiency of
the psychological tests beyond all
question, says Philadelphia Ledger.
What happened was that in a single
examination lasting about an hour
the scientific method yielded a crop
of about eighty men out of six
hundred as representing the best of
the group. To the credit of the
system and the professors, these 80
men proved to be the men who al
so had been picked out by the off.
Gers after weeks of observation as
the best men. The net result, of
course, of this experiment isin favor
of the psychological method as a
matter of quickness, as we'll as ex
actness, since, of course, it is clear
that any rule, of.thumb method in
the course of time will discover
those who have a higher mental
capacity and are better fitted for
certain tasks by reason of their bet
ter brain capacity to begin with, or
the better training their brains re,
ceived before getting into the ser.

There was really no reason why
I should work for the Kaiser for
nothing. Indeed, apart from the
prestige involved, working for the
Kaiser was not a particularly remu-
nerative proposition. 1t meant the
decentralization of my routine for a
portion of the day whenever he
called, and while that was not so
serious in the early days, later on
when other members of the royal
family came to me for treatment and
expected to be taken care of ire
spective of such other appointments
as I may have made, the situation
was very provoking as we'll as COM
ical.
Nevertheless, I submitted a very
moderate bill for my first years
work, charging only my regular fee
for the treatments l had given the
Kaiser during the year. Within
few days there came a package con-
tanning new bills in payment of the
account, and I was very much sur
prised to find that his Majesty had
doubled the amount, an act which
was not ut all in keeping with the
stingy character the whole royal
family was known to possess.
Indeed, some years later, when
submitted my bill for professional
services TO one of the Kaiser's sons,
he sent me a postal order in pay
ment, but deducted the cost of the
postal order.
