eter an air-man, Joan running a
service car. Between these two points
Mr.. Wells, through the agency of
their guardian, Uncle Oswald, combs
England from kindergarten to Cam
bridge for the education OF Joan and
Peter. Cnc.e Oswald has notions. He
Is possessed Of the idea that educa
tion ought to have something to do
with life-on the one hand that it's
subject matter should consist of the
live tissues of condition and event. on
the other hand that the prime purpose
of it's processes should be to train the
general hber-body, mind, spirit,
vision---in order that the English
youth may give consciously and can
ably and nobly to the structure of
the new England that is building
under the urgencies of the present
Needless TO say, that the quest of
Uncle Oswald is u fruitless one. And
by virtue of this fact the book be-
comes a study Of education as it is
managed in England, becomes a sad
commentary on the narrowness of

this respect in it's survey OF education
the story might move right over into

text. 1T is not extravaganza to say
that there has not yet appeared so
intelligent, so profound, so fair and
so damning an estimate of modern
education as this study by Mr.. Wells.
Tho place for the book is in the hands
of those who stand as educators. But,
after al, that is a rather hopeless
destination for it. Still, the book is
so completely convincing that even
school men might open an eye to it's
obvious claims. 1t is eminently worth
the trial for it is exactly the awak-

chance.
If you remember the last time

OF having "Cooties" I am worse now

! les" simply run me almost mad. I
went "Cootie" hunting this morniug
and was very successful, find about 25

see we are never lonesome, when we
are on the line for Mr.. "Cootie" IS

not wanted. We always have some
thing to look forward to though, 70.

Of health and am having a great time

The following is the propaganda re-

dropped over the American lines:
Never Say Die!
DoG't die till You have to!
What business have you to die for
France, for Alsace-Lorraine, or for
England in France.
Isn't it better anyhow to live than
to die, no matter fer how glorious
a cause? Isn't it better to live and
come back to the old folks at home.
than to rot in the shell holes and
trenches of France?
You have had to hear many high
falutin words about liberty" "hd-
manity,p and making the world safe
for democracy" but honest now, aren's
these catch words merely sugar coat
ing to the bittler pill of making you
spend wretched months far from
home? Do you really believe those
German soldier boys in their faded
grey uniforms on the other side Of
''No Mans Land" are hot On the trail
of your liberties?
Just like you, they want the war 20
end with honor so they can go back
to their home folks. All they want Is
a chance to live and let live.
And so, if it should happen to you
tc fall into their hands you will find
that they will treat you fair enough
on the principle of Give and let nve."
Why run any more chances than you
have to, you might as well be free
