TEACHING CONVERSATION.

Conversation, as conversation, is
hard to teach, we can only lead the
way and lay down a few principles
which keep it in the right path.
These commonplace of warning, as
old as civilization itself. belong to
manners and to fundamental unset
fiShnesS, but obvious as they are they
have to be said and to be repeated
and enforced until they become mat
ters of course. Not to seem bored,
not to interrupt, not to contradict.
not to make personal remarks, not to
talk of oneself (someone was naive
enough to say then what is there to
talk off,, not to get heated and not
to look cold, not to do all the talking
and not to be silent, not to advance
ii the ground seems uncertain, and to
be sensitively attentive to what jars
all these and other things are
troublesome to obtain. but exceeding
ly necessary. And even observing
them all we may be just as far from
conversation as before; how often
among English people, through shy
ness or otherwise, it simply faints
from hamilton. We can at least
teach that first essential is to have
something to say, and that the best
preparation of mind is thought and
reading and observation, to be inter
ested in many things, and to give
enough personal application to few
things to have something worth say
ing about them.

HOW LAPLAND GOT ITS NAME.

The origin of the term lap" is
land with Skis and Reindeer" by
Frank Hedges Butler. The Swedish
historian, Johannes Magnus, writing
in the sixteenth century, called the
land Lappia, following SaXo Gram
maticus, the twelfth century Danish
chronicler Other writer's called it by
the Latinized named Lapponia. In
the seventeenth century the region
was known in England as Lapland, in
Sweden as Lapmarllia, mark being
Swedish for land: in Denmark and
Norway as Laplandia or Findmarkia.
Several ingenious etymologies have
been suggested, both in ancient and
modern times Some derive the name
from the Swedish Lapp, rags, from
their (the Laplanders) coming into
Swedeland every year with rags lapt
about them" others from the Swedish
laepa, to run or leap, from their skill
in sliding swiftly over the frozen
snow by means of skis.
Shelter, the Swedish professor
whose "Laponia' 1673) was trans
lated into English and published in
Oxford in 1874, wrote of the ''art they
have by which with crooked pieces of
wood under their feet like bow they
hunt wild beasts and glide along the
ground, not taking up one foot after
another as in common running but
carrying themselves steady upon the
frozen snow, they move forward,
STOPPING a little" Old historians
often called Lapland "Scridfinnia,"
derived from ''skrida," which in Dan
ish and Swedish means to slide.

VALENciENNES IN HISTORY.

Valenciennes is the Roman Valen-
tiana and came to France by the
treaty of Nimeguen in 1878 Before
that it had been the capital of small
principally. Later it passed into the
hands of the counts of Hainault, suf-
fered and resisted sieges by Margaret
of Hainault, Louis XI, Turenne and
the Spaniards. In 1893, after 43 days
bombardment, the garrison, reduced
to 5000 men, surrendered to the al
lied forces numbering some 100000
or 80, 1000 men with 400 canonn. The
town played a small part in the peace
of Cambria, called the Ladies
peace in honor of the princesses
who, while at Valenciennes in the six
teenth century, negotiated the peace
there between Charles V and Fran

THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.

The idea of training employees sys
tematically in their work is a rela
lively new conception. The employer
has long realized and appreciated the
difference between trained expert
and a poor bungler, and as result
he now prefers to employ expert help.
But experts are not born: they become
so, and it is the aim of all progressive
employers that every employee be-
come an expert at his or her particu.
lar work.
Where few years ago the Office
of Educational Director in a bust
ness organization was quite the ex-
ception and more or less a novelty, it
is today quite the rule and the com
mon thing. In most cases the time
necessary for intelligent. educational
work with employees is not at the
disposal of the employer, or again,
both time and the inclination may
be his, but hardly the capacity
Perhaps the first move of an edu-
cational director is toward establish
ing special library for the employees
of the organization. Educators in all
times and places have recognized the
vast possibilities of library as a
strong, aggressive social and educa-
tional force, and have been quick to
ally themselves with it. We cannot
conceive of a college or university
without its library: the two are in
separable, and the work at college
cannot be intelligent without a repre-
sentative library to offer material
whose use will supplement and round
out the skeleton Of the curriculum.
Libraries for Employees.
The employer, when considering a
new proposition, naturally enough
asks himself: How shall | benefit
my business by following this course?"
Similarly, when the question of a spe-
firm arises, he asks himself: How
can special library benefit my bust
ness?" There is positive answer to
every phase of the question.
viii any material advancement ac-
crue to the employer who has estab-
lished a special library for his en-
ployees? Eventually it must, both
from monetary consideration as we'll
as from the standpoint of economy
in time saved. Many and varied
questions arise in the course of
days routine in every line of human
endeavor, and invariably these ques-
tons are vital. In a relative sense,
the place of special library in any
organization is comparable to and
finds parallel in the position of the
consulting engineer to the contractor
of large construction job. The I'M

There seemed no night between:
He proved plucky, valiant fighter
Far from the isle so green.
He loved the gallant Pershing,

The soldier lad is fondly dreaming
Of his childhood home SO fair

With his dimpled feet, full bare.
He sees that girlish sweetheart,
The ripples in her blue-black hair
They picked the emerald Shamrock

Glare.
The ready chair is always vacant
In that low-thatched cottage there.
The winsome fairies gaily frolic,
A larke thrills in the midnight air.

Her lips are moved in prayer
For her absent one she's pleading.

NAVY BLUE.

The blue color so prominent in the
uniforms of almost all marines is of
hoary origin. Vegetius, in his fifth
book on the military affairs of the
Romans, traces the origin of this
color to the Veneti, an ancient peo-
pie dwelling near the coast of Bis
cay, and we'll versed in seamanship.
1t was customary among them to
paint their outgoing ships as well as
the masts and sails with blue color;
also their sailors wore blue uniforms.
According to our author, the Latin
word ''Venetus," which was both the
name of the color and that of the
people, points to it's origin. From the
Veneti the custom was adopted by
the Romans. Thus the son of POM
peius, after defeating Caesars fleet
in naval battle, wore the navy blue,
although entitled to the purple. The
Veneti were subdued by Caesar after
a severe maritime war in Sc B. C.

Paris Chamber
Ratifies Treaty..
Voting 372 So
Seventy three Deputies
Abstain From Balloting;
L. S. British Defence
Pact Also Is Adopted

PARIS, Oct. 2.-The Chamber of
Deputies to-day ratified the German
peace treaty by vote of 372 to So.
Seventy-three Deputies abstained from
voting
The Chamber then took up the trea
ties between France and the United
States and France and Great Britain
which provide that Great Britain and
the United States shall come at once
to Frances assistance in the event of
an unprovoked attack by Germany.
These treaties were ratified unani-
mously, total vote of sol being cast.
Most of the sixteen who spoke be-
fore the vote on the German treaty
either declared themselves against the
ratification of that treaty or said that
they would vote for the ratification
despite the gravity of this or that de-
ficiency in the pact
Complete Ratification Soon
Complete ratification of the German
treaty by botlGhouses of Parliament is
expected very shortly. possibly within
four days Following to-day's ratifica-
ton by the Chamber. the Senate will
Immediately take W the discussion.
The peace committee Of that body has
already completed its study OF the
document. The debate in the Senate
is expected in Parliamentary circles to
be quite short.
The last days discussion of the
treaty was without incident or even
interest. The sixteen speakers occu-
pied two hours in giving reasons for
the votes they were about to cast.
These reasons interested the speakers
far more than they did the House,
which paid scant attention to the de-
bate. The majority of the speakers
were Socialists, and their reasons were
much the same.
Premier Clemenceau was present
throughout the session. He showed
signs of interest only during the inter
lude while the votes were being
counted. He then stood up and was
surrounded by Deputies, with whom
he carried on an active conversation.
Want Allies to Bear Share
The Peace Treaty Committee of the
Chamber decided to-day to introduce a
resolution inviting the government to
negotiate with the Allies with view
to establishing cooperative action in
the settlement of financial questions
The Budget Committee of the Cham
Der had earlier expressed itself even
more explicitly on this subject, declar-
ing that justice and interest alike re-
quirc that the Allies pool the expenses
of the war, and suggesting that the
pressing problem of meeting payments
Immediately due could best be solved
not by new issue of currency, but
through an inter-Allied loan committee.
