A Paved Road Through the Jungles Of
Hard School Studies Given Children In
the Educational Series Found in The Bee

During this week The Bee will begin
running it's great series OF Educational
Articles for Boys and Girls, the INSTALL
ments to continue every day through the
length of the school term.
The boy and girl who wishes to get
ahead in studies with the least effort,
cannot overestimate the value OF these
articles.
It is an exploded idea that the one who
has to do the hardest work in looking up
his studies is the one who retains the
longest what has been learned. The time
spent in searching through half dozen
books or more to find reference is time
wasted that could be spent in learning
something else, if the reference had been
right at hand.
Found at Glance.
This is what these educational articles
provide. They are to the student in the
subjects of his studies what the diction-
airy is to him in his pursuit Of the right
word to express his thought. It gives
him at q glance, or moments search
exactly what he must look up.
The value of ready reference of this
kind is double-fold to parents. In the first
place they have assurance that no lack of
a proper reference book will deprive
their child of the advantages that may be
enjoyed by another, and second, and
lesser but none the less agreeable, fea-
ture is that it in measure puts an end
to the numberless questions asked by
children, concerning studies which the
parents of their day, did not find in the
curriculum, and with which they are not
familiar.

Subjects for Week.

The articles will be run under gen.
sral subject for each week, each days
installment referring to some form or
branch of the study for that day.
Each Monday the article will treat of
"How to study skillfully" and mature
study"
Tuesdays will deal with things for
boys to make, and things for girls to
make.
Wednesday will tell of some adventure
that made some American great, and Of
woodcraft.
Thursdays will take up sports for boys,
and things for the all-around American
girl.
Fridays will teach of ways to earn
money outside of school, and of everyday
science and home mechanics, and Satur-
days will discuss what future lies before
boys, and what girls can become.
Leading Educators.
The twelve articles have been care
fully prepared by leading educators in
the country in the subjects handled, and
will be published only in The Bee. They
are interesting reading of the highest and
most instructive class, and afford the boy
and girl of today another wonderful OPP
portunity such as was never enjoyed by
their parents. It is those who embrace
opportunities who forge ahead of their
fellows. Don't let the boy or girl next
door get ahead of you for lack of this

tore me, set apart to relieve the
sufferings, heal the diseases, and
lengtfen the lives of men. would
appeal. Must humanity forever be
chained down by murderous rulers
and methodized passions to the
rock of the barbarous custom that
the vulture of legal war may for
ever prey upon its vitals?
Cannot the still small voice OF
reason be heard in this center and
spread throughout the medical
world in still widening circles to
persuade men that war in any
shape and for any cause is really
madness and that it settles no
principle or right?
"Caa we not add to our mission
this yet further benefit to humanity,
to teach men to settle national as
they d, individual differences by
arbitrations and awards, by rules
and principles?
Settle by Arbitration.
1T is work of time, difficult
and laborious, but the hundred
handed giant Of medical ubiquity
can, by rersevering effort, unite
humanity ard can force or draw to
its assistance the pulpits and the
forum, and Christendom may yet
learn, through the most unosten-
tatious, investigating, rationalistic
physician, that he is not mad, but

NEBRASKA man
n YEARS OLD IS
NOW At HARVARD.
Col. Lyon Of Nelson, Banker
and Cowboy, Chums
With 14-Year.0d
Student.
By HERBERT CARYL.


International News Service Staff Corre-
spondent.
Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 18.-Youth
and old age are regular "buddies"
at Harvard university.
Fourteen-year-old Jacob Shank
man, sedate little chap in "knick-
ers," is often seen hustling along to
class beside Col. George E. Lyon,
jr, tall, gray-haired, II years young,
and college boy. And often these
two intellectual marvels talk things
over in the coloners rooms, which
were used by Washington back in
the Revolutionary war days.
Things in Common.
They have good deal in common
these two extremes Of Harvard's
student body. Literature, history,
current events, and the whole range
of intellectual topics deeply interest
them both. 1t gives them a wide
field for discussion.
However, the remarkable part of
il is that the colonel is the one who
thinks and dreams and displays the
spirit of youth. The boy carries
with him an academic air. Colonel
Lyon is full of pep and ginger. The
Crimson Infant" as Shankman is
called, appears to be always in deep
thought. "I'm on easy street and
have come back from Nebraska to
play again at being a student at my
old college," exclaims the colonel
If Shankman engages in sports he
has not revealed the fact. Every
morning l go through a .set of exer-
cises of from 500 to 1000 movements
and in the afternoon | take a swim
in the gym tank and some more ex-
ercise, exclaims the colonel. The
infant prodigy lives quietly at home.
Colonel Lyon has big study afame
with college banners and prep"
school ags-also fine life-size sta
tue of Venus de Milo.
Would Be Doctor.
The boy aspires to be great doc
tor. But, mind you, before that,
coxswain of the Harvard crew. The
7l-year-old student wants to be the
world s greatest expert on literature
and the finest orator. His coming
back to college is more of rest"
for him than anything else.
What of their lives-these two
marvels? Young Shankman was
born in Chelsea, Mass. He is the
son of Isaac Shankman, one of the
leading Jewish communal workers
of Boston. At grammar school in
Chelsea the boy averaged 90 and 81
per cent in all his studies, leading
his sections.
From Nelson, Neb.
Colonel Lyon is traveller, minis
ter, cowboy, Indian fighter, stage
manager, banker, politician, editor,
teacher, singer and author. He was
