HORACE MANN ELEMENTARY
AND GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL.

Tuesday morning Mrs Douglas Robin
son, sister OF our late we'll beloved Presi-
dent Theodore Roosevelt, spoke before
assembly at the Horace Mann Girls High
School, New York city, on personal Incl
dents in the life of her brother. Here
was one man whom Americans placed in
public office whose whole life experience
Was an open and interesting book, whose
home life could be held up as model to
our boys as clean and wholesome. ex-
uberant, gay and yet honorable and
dignifed He could play like a child
with children and work like a man with
men: a man who kept his vows to his
wife and family as we'll as his oath to
his countrymen: one who honored Amer
lea In accepting Americas honors. Club
men have never nudged each other and
winked slyly when the name of Theo-
dore Roosevelt was mentioned. He COM
manded the respect of his enemies and
was beloved by his friends, and probably
no American since Lincoln was SO greatly
and 80 generally loved by his country
men.
Mrs. Robinson told OF Mr.. Roosevelt s
struggle for health as a child and as a
youth, and of the obstacles he overcame,
obstacles insurmountable to a less de-
termined character. This very char
acteristic was brought out In his play
with his children. The whole family
used TO take hikes" or as Mr.. Roose-
welt called them. Obstacle" races, This
meant merely a game OF follow the

in his way, and every member OF the
family followed the leader" This was
great fun for those in the game and
some fun for those outside The White
House breakfasts, very gay family af-
fairs and theSplay moments after, were
mentioned, when the children were rid

Roosevelt the better for these little home

The work of the campaign for rails

ces-fully in spite OF the Victory Loan

previous summers 1t Is to be taken
for granted that camps, bye and large
are good, but in this field, as in others
there are notable exceptions. and the
harm which may be done in the two
months Of the camping season is some
times almost irreparable.
The personnel OF the boys or girls Is al
most as important as that OF the staff
This can be determined by parents
usually by means of lists OF campers In
previous summers, and somewhat OF
course, by prices. 1t does not follow that
camps which are low in price have nee
essarily a mixed enrolment, any more
than that those which are high In price
draw only from families where there is
likely to be wealth. In the first instance
many of the very best families cannot
AFFORD the higher priced camps, and in
the second many families whose income
Is small make every possible sacrifice
to give boys the benefits OF the highe,
priced institutions.
The question Is not, therefore, so much
whether the boys or girls are from fami-
lies OF moderate or large means as
whether they are from families where
the background is one of care for the
best influences.
The location of the camp and its equip.
ment comprise. after all, the least of the
difficulties in selection. Maine. New

From this II may be gathered that tn,
choice OF camp is a hard Job for par.
ents-and that is the fact. Is there any
thing more important for the future oil
