Once while working his way for

caught sight Of him. They could not
depress their gun sufficiently to hit
him, and Monk crawled forward on
his stomach and blew them Up with
a Mills bomb In the process the hail
OF lead that swept over him shredded
away the heavy marching order pack
he carried N his back.
Bullets are an old story to Monk.
Time was when he laughed at the sol

BIG FOOD SUPPLY NEGLECTED.
Writer Points Out How Great Savings
Might Be Effected BY Cultiva-
ton Of Certain Trees.

Nuts are the best Of all tree crops
because of their high food value. their
long keeping qualities and the long
life of the trees. But there are many
other tree crops almost entirely neg
lected by us. In tropical countries the
food of whole nations is largely de-
rived from tree fruits, both for man
and animal. The bread fruit. the
banana, the avocado, the pawpaw. the
carob. the fig, are examples. But with
such fruits as the American pawpaw.
the persimmon, the mulberry. the
honey locust the acorn and beechnut
are neglected sources of food. espec-
tally for animals. Doctor Smith
says that our domesticated animals
eat about nine-tenths of our food
crops and that we spend n large part
of our time waiting on these animals
Why not make our hogs and chickens.

having good crop trees, many of which
keep dropping their fruit over larg.,

pasture them? In Portugal they en-

GET KNOWLEDGE or COUNTRY
Japanese School Children Go on Out
in0s a. Part Of Their System
Of Education.

In Japan beyond all other lands the
whole world goes outing. Wherever
the traveller wanders he meets crowds
of people on the highways. Frederick
Starr writes. These people fall into
three well marked classes. Everywhere
one sees school children on excursion.
There may be half dozen with one
teacher or there may be hundreds with
their teachers. They are out to view
the landscape, to see places famous In
the national history, to visit the scenes
Of old legends, to examine in detail the
various processes Of art industries. 1t
IL considered as important a part of
the school curriculum that the children
should see things and become acquaint-
ed with nature, with national history
and with practical sources Of wealth
Ms 1t Is that they should know arith-
metic, grammar or history. They are
out for an hour, a day. \ week, or \
vacation period. When first visited
Aiya1ima l met a group Of 40 school
boys with two teachers, who had al
ready been two weeks on their ex-
cursion and had seen many Interesting
things on their way to the exposition
at Fukuoka, in the southern islands.
The night before they had been trav-
cling until after midnight and now
they had before them 4 journey which
would keep them up until the early
hours Of the morning; although they
we're 20 tired that they could hardly
stand they were full of enthusiastic
anticipation for the experiences that
lay ahead. The Japanese are very
wise in making these excursions an
important feature Of their school sys-
tenn.

work. and now the time has come
when the public should lend its aid.
Wartime burdens, together with the
continued rise in prices during the
past few years, have brought their diff
ficulties to head, in the form Of in
creased deficits, and the necessity for
undertaking new tasks for which no
funds are visible.
1t has long been felt that professors
have long been underpaid. They are
not choosing this profession because
they want a living, but because they
love 1t, and regard themselves as able
to give their best through such chan
nels. And yet their fellows in other
walks of life can frequently earn more
money. Outside college halls there il
no limit of $500 in sight.
Several universities have recently
laid plans for campaign for money
among their alumni. Among the bet
ter known of these institutions are
Harvard. Princeton. Columbia, Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania, FOrdham, Mt.
Holyoke, and Smith. Committees OF
leading graduates have been formed
In the principal cities, and in some
Instances In every part of the world,
for the purpose of canvassing.
Thus the world is being treated to
demonstration that good men among
us think an education Is positively
worth while. They are unwilling to
see such national asset crying vainly
for funds with which to train youth
for the problems of coming genera
tons and to teach them TO cast aside
the crop of false doctrines which
sometimes threaten to overcome the
truth.
In short, they are making an invest
ment for posterity. Better things VIII
come of better education and better
educations are possible only with bet
fer facilities. such as the best talent,
the best equipment. and a greater
spirit of satisfaction among the teach
ers as a result of paying them price
nearer their true worth. They are not
beggars, and they are not bargainers;
they have chosen to DO their work re-
par6less of the sacrifices. 1t Is up
to society to seize the opportunity
and keep these men in their chosen
places.
Just as the trained men took the
lead in war, SO will the same men be
called upon TO tackle the new prob
lens of peace.
