goNAR LAW AN IRON MERCHANT.

Mr.. Bonar Law, despite his NAME is not in the
long list of men who were in the legal profession
before taking up politics He was a Glasgow iron
merchant a keen business man, and he estab-
lished his reputation at Westminster in single
speech.
One of his most remarkable faculties is his gift
for memorizing This applies particularly to fig.
ures and he has COMPOUNDED many an opponent
by correcting him. from memory on some vital
point of statistics. He can store more figures up
in his brain than the average could write in
notebook
But perhaps his most valuable quality is that
of "sticking it" He has stuck to his job more
than once while suffering from personal sorrows
which would have bowed less resolute men

part of the interest in this proposed institution
centers on what it can do for enlisted men as we'll
as for officers.
The engineer trade school which is TO be estab-
hshed will embrace all these branches Black
smith, carpentry. drafting surveying, electricity
gas engines, automobiles, photography. steam
slneS, masonry, photography, plumbing. rigging,
siehography, Oxy-acetylene welding machine shop
work, railroad operation and camoufage.
complete model has been made of the pro-
posed school and outlying accessories. For the
College of Military Research there will be one adj
ministraton building; TO ur large central buildings
respectively for records statistics and mechanical
and electrical laboratories four smaller buildings
one for chemistry for physics and two for
lecture rooms; one library building. and village
OF go separate houses for officers, churches club
garage, Fairgrounds, and al necessary utilities.
In addition to these buildings and properly
grouped there to be one academic building
and two recitation buildings, an auditorium,
museum, 4 library, laboratory and other struc-
lures. Buildings corresponding in size and in
equipment and grouped so as to insure uniformity
coupled with beauty will be necessary for the
school directly connected with the vocational
training of the enlisted men and the officers.
1t has been evident for some time that the at
tention of the military authorities is to be given
in the future to the vocational training of young
men, to be carried on side by side with their mill
tary instruction. The school at Camp Humphreys
as mas been SalQ is not the only ScnOOl WIncn III
is intended TO establish, but it probably will be in
a sense the parent school and the one which will
furnish the facilities for certain training which
cannot be secured at schools of the other branches
of the service.
Men who already have attended the school at
Camp Humphreys have spread its fame
educational institution In the words of Col
Richard Park of the corps of engineers, who has
had this project at heart, and who worked daily
and nightly to perfect it in every detail:
1T will be the function of the trade schools not
only to develop the skilled personnel needed for
military work, but also to insure every soldier
thorough training in some trade which will be
benefit to him after leaving the service. This will
attract a much better school of recruits under the
volunteer system of training and will be i'm
portant factor in the maintenance of morale under
a system of universal military training"
No one knows how large force it will be neces-
sary for the United States to maintain for pur-
poses of defense and preparedness but whether
the force be large small the evident intention of
the government authorities is TO to it that men
who enter the service shall have an opportunity to
educate themselves along lines other than those
which are purely military.

JUST WHAT DID SHE MEAN7
Young Teachers Reply Might Have
Been Merely Statement of
Plain Face, or

The young primary teacher had been
continually annoyed by Bobby's mother
ever since he had entered school.
Nothing suited her. At first it was the
hours, then the arrangement of Bob
by's, seat, and finally, after score of
complaints about everything imagin-
able, she began to come to school to
criticize the teachers methods and
books used. Nov, these readers are
not nearly so interesting as the ones
we used to use," she said. Couldn't
you get some of those old books and
use them TO supplement these?" she
asked.
II don't know whether / could find
any," hesitated the little teacher.
But you will find the stories so
much more interesting that you will be
paid for your effort in hunting Them"
insisted the woman. How l did love
those stories! There was one about
n little red hen. It"
81 don't believe that would interest
ny children now" interrupted the
young teacher. you see, the hen
grew up."-Indianapolis News.

She Calls This Funny!

My funniest experience was last
year, about this time. We were trav-
cling by auto through the TopangO
pass in California. We had an exper-
enced driver, and the roads were like
boulevards all through the mountains
We were going about eighteen miles
per, when suddenly, for no apparent
reason, we swerved from the road
about four feet, and almost went into
canyon.
We all wondered why 1t happened,
and the driver could not account for
it himself.
When we got to town in about fif-
teen minutes we learned there had
been an earthquake. People were
thrown off their chairs, windows bro
ken, and other damage done. Then
we knew what hit us.-Chicago Trib-
une.
