landed in the southern part OF

were sent to the 26 Division, then az

came down to DO Ra Me, a small town

fields where she slept while planning
the deliverance of France. From
here we hiked 175 miles to Toulin.
We were at Sorrey when President
Wilson came to review the 26 Divi-

and we stood out in line from 11:0O
a. NJ. until three that afternoon. The
President. his wife and General
Pershing came into our barracks and
looked them over, and when we got
to Marriage the whole Division was
reviewed by Gen. Pershing, and it
was a pretty sight to see all the
dough boys with their bayonets fixed,
the whole Division moving at once.
The General walked by every one of
us and asked many questions.
Then the Division got ready tc
move on to Brest for home trans
ports. About sixty were left here
where they are building big base

four months. That is luck, isn't It?

The university came first in the
old world, when education was al
legedly for those who were TO be
engaged in the service of the state
and in the learned professions. In
those days, anyone who intended TO
engage in agriculture, or any phase
of Industrial or commercial life, could
not have gone TO school at all, II he
had wanted TO. The schoolroom ex-
listed for the sole purpose of training
the child for service to the nation in
some official capacity, or for service
in one Of the established professions.
The vocation OF trade was looked
down upon and stunned as an occu-
patton unworthy of refined intellects
and gifted natures.
Later the high school came, which
was then and Is even now, TO a great
degree, simply training ground to
fit the child for entrance into the uni
versity, 1t being the aim Of those in
charge of our high schools to so regu-
late their curriculum that graduation
from the high school will mean the
privilege of entering the university
without examination.
Later the low grades were added,
the subjects selected being those cal
culated to fit the child to enter the
high school.
The result is that our children be-
in the district school, the
village school, or the schools in our
towns and cities, are, by reason of
the curriculum, from the first gra lie
up, headed toward the university,
which in turn, until very recent years,
taught nothing tending to fit The
child for useful service in the voca-
ton of industry and commerce, ordi-
narily referred to as business" in so
far as the gaining of technical knowl-
edge was concerned.
II is true that in very recent years
our universities, our high schools
and, TO some extent, even lower
grades have added certain courses
calculated to be useful to those stu
Tents who propose entering the voca-
ion of business, but all such efforts
nave been in the nature of grating
he special courses to the tree of edu-
,ation. They are not a part of the
ibre of the trunk of the tree itself |
The result of this is that our sys-
EN- of education, taken as whole,
$ much better calculated to be OF |
ervice to that limited class of our
citizens who finally enter the voca-
ion of the law, medicine, dentistry, |
he ministry, etc, than to that vast |
majority who enter the fields of in
Iustry and commerce.
Statistics prove that the most of |
hose who go into business for them
elves ultimately fail to make good.
believe that II is largely traceable
o the fact that our school system
vas originally built, and it's curricu-
um regulated. without any reference
o fitting the pupil for the vocation

In spite of the facts just stated.

loyers and employees, using the

Nature plays cruel joke in the diff
terence Of altitude of India and Tibet.
Had they been reversed one would
have said that it was providential
arrangement The traveller who crosses
the Himalayas from Cashmere has to
climb nearly twice as much as the trav-
eler who comes from the north, be-
cause while India averages only per-
haps 100 feet above sea level. Tibet
averages $4,000 feet, and for this rea-
son is called the Roof of the World.
Now, had India had this elevation,
south Of the mighty range Of the Him
alayas, and thus shielded from the
north, as well as nearer to the equa-
tor, her climate would probably have
been as temperate as Britain, and one
of the healthiest in the world. While
had Tibet lain as low as India, in
stead of being the dreariest, most in
hospitable of lands. it would, by rea-
son of it's latitude, be one Of the most
habitable countries in the world.

Swallowed a Pet Chameleon.

Four years ago purchased a chame-
leon at the Wakefield fair, F. Fl. Sid
ney writes in Boston Evening Tran
script The little fellow made himself
at home among our house plants and
kept them clean of bugs; he became
tame and answered to the name of
Mickey The tiny lizard would come
when we called him; and he kept the
plants free from bugs and the house
clear OF flies. On warm days Mickey
would crawl out onto the piazza and
sun himself. One day my neighbours
flock Of guinea hens wandered around
my house, and although Mickey had
changed his color to that of the piazza
boards the sharp-eyed guineas spied
him and made a rush, and before my
pet could escape one of the guinea
hens swallowed him. complained of
the guineas to my neighbor, but he
said his guineas were too well bred to
invade any ones premises; and that
furthermore, lizards were reptiles and
not fit for house pets.
