LONDON-By MaiD-Thc Rev Walter II. Armstrong. who began the other day his ministry at Wesley's Chapel here where he occupies John Wcsloy's own pulpit, once sold papers
 in the London Streets. He earned about lQ cents d day as a newsboy. When eleven years old he left school and became telegraph messenger and later posrman. Then he be- gan to devote his evenings to study
 ing for the ministry. After serving as a missionary in the Far East. he returned to England and conducted the largest mems religious meetings in London, with an attendance of 2,ooo Sunday after Sunday.
 According to the British press, his yirile personality is bound to leave an impress on the life of the famous church which was the center of Wes tayan Methodism.
 Ut is not my intention" he said. Ito start anything sensational. My belief is that the church exists not 10 set its sail for every wind that blows but to raise the whole standard of life I believe in the application of Christian principles to every as pect of modern life.

THE STUDENT AS THINKER
(NeW York Globe. )

The fact that college students are en- tering universities this autumn on basis of psychological tests does not seem to have upset the academic world so greatly as some people feared The list of institutions which have already adopted there tests, first officially indOrscd by Columbia, is aI- ready m imposing Onc and 1t will undOubt- cdlv grow While the public looks some what askance at the idea of asking a stu dent "catch questions'' and then basing his college entrance-in large part, at lcast-- on his ability to find his way out of these verbal trapS the educational world long ago accustomed itself to the use of these methods. The science of intelligence meas uing has made great strides during the war. aided by the practical experience which numbers of college psychologists had in the army camps, where they siftcd out the raw recruits; and today the degree of intelligence of any child above the age of three or four years can be determined with a high degree of eXactneSS.
 Every one has been waiting for the war to do great things to our communal life. "The Reconstruction Period" has been a magic phrase to denote charmed state into which every reformer has fOndly hop ed that his pet idea would be introduced and would promptly make the universe over. In no field have such refOrmers been more enthusiastic in their prognostications than in education. Old methods were to be swept away The taint of TeutOnic SchOlasticiSmS in our colleges was to be an initiated. The school of the 'recOnstruc- tiOn periOd' was to train better citizens for more usefulness in the newer, finer com munity These ideas have so far found lit tie fulfilment. The curricula of our insti- tutiOns remain about as they were. The introduction of psychological tests is, there fore, one of the few concrete reforms, which may be said to have grown out of the war. Since these tests will unquestiOnably result in Weeding out many hopelessy bad think CTS and thereby enable attention to be con .centrated upon the better material, they are by so much a net gain. But as the chief visible sign of the great after-war revolu- tion in education this development is not very exciting.

10000 PARENTS
 ARE SOUGHT BY
 THE RED CROSS

WARSAW. (P) Names and faces oI streams of returning refugees are being eagerly scanned by Red Cross workers in every city of Poland each day in search for the parents of ten thousand unclaimed children, lost !u the chaos of the German drive of 1918.
 Every day, from among the starv- ed ranks of the wanderers, some worn woman or broken father clasps the thin waif from whom they were mercilessIy torn almost three years ago a reunion that takes place as often as not in some Red Cross refugee station. There are thousands who will never be claimed, for their parents driven away when the Ger mans came, found only temporary safety in Russia where they were caught in the web of anarchy and suffered death in the days of Rus sian terror
 All of the children are now under the care of the American Red Cross and such supplies as are available have been devoted to their needs But for the thousands who will never again be united with their parents, more than temporary aid is needed Some permanent institutional scheme will have to be devised, but this must wait more normal times than the present,
 Unless rescued from actual starva- ton and nakedness and mothered by the outside world, until they are strong again, these children will bear the marks of war for the rest of their lives. Anaemia, rickets, tuberculosis end kindred diseases, fast becoming chronic will forever handicap them.

emy Prior to 1877 to Play
at Chevy Chase.

Academy prior to 1877 will stage their
! annual golf tournament tomorrow at
the Chevy Chase Club. The club. which

Col. Robert NJ. Thompson is one Of the
organizers of the association. which was
founded in 1914. Last year the tourna-
ment was omitted on account of war
conditions. 1t is in a large degree a
get together affair for men who went
into the Navy in its earlier days.
One of the features OF the tourna
ment, which might well be called a
miniature Apawamis." is that each
contestant is allowed to- fix his han
dicap. Play is at. nine holes and
luncheon will be given in the club
house at the conclusion OF the tour
ney.
1t is estimated that there are not
more than twelve members of the
association at present. Two OF the
offices, however, are held by women.
Miss Casey and Miss Hemphiil as
secretary and treasurer respectively
Both are daughters Of admirals.
Members of the tournament tomor-
row are Admirals Willard Browanson.
J. D. Adams, Joseph Hemphill. Albert
Winterhalter, F. F. Fletcher. Theo-
dore Jewell, William Meade and
Thomas SeIfridge. Capt. Hodgkins
and Col. R NJ. Thompson. Admiral
Winterhalter is the youngest member
of the association and Admiral Self
ridge the oldest. The winner of the
cup in 1917 was Admiral Meade,
who by the laws of the association.
is host at the tourney tomorrow and
gives this years trophy.

tomorrow" he announced, "tomor-
row we shall begin-there is not mo-
ment to lose. We will send Samson
with message to your captain-there
is no need for you to go yourself; time
is too precious--and In a week, who
knows but that Monte Cristo shall
seem like a pauper and a penny gam
in comparison with the fantasies Of
our fearful wealth.
So, for that evening, all was laugh
ingly decided. In weeks time. 1t
was agreed, we should have difficulty
in recognizing each other. We should
be so disguised in cloth of gold, and so
binding to look upon with rings and
ropes of pearls.
When we met at breakfast next
morning. glad to see one another again
as few people are at breakfast, II was
evident that, as far as the liking" was
concerned. our dream had lost nothing
In the night watches. On the contrary,
its wings had grown to an amazing
span and iridescence.
Calypso, It transpired, had certain
household matters-of which the
''king" of course was ever divinely OBJ
livious-that would take her on an
errand into the town. Those disposed
of, we two eternal children were at
liberty to be as foolish as we pleased.
The "king'' bowed his uncrowned
head, as kings, from time immemorial
have bowed their diadems before the
quiet command Of the domesticties |;
and 1t was arranged that I should be
Calypso's escort ON her errand.
So we set forth in the freshness Of
the morning. and the woods that had
been so slack and bewildering at my
coming opened before us in easy
paths, and all that tropical squalor
that had been foul with sweat and in
sects seemed strangely vernal to me,
so that / could hardly believe that /
had trodden that way before. And for
our companion all the way along-or,
at least for my other companion-was
the Wonder of the World, the beauti-
full strangeness of living, and that mar
vel of a mans days upon the earth
which lies In not knowing what day
shall bring forth, II only we have a
little patience with Time-Time, with
those gold keys at his girdle, ready, at
any turn Of the ways, TO unlock the
hidden treasure that is to be the mean
ing OF our lives.
How should try to express what 1t
H. IL al
that we both knew?-knowing, or gid
Oily believing that knew, how her
heart, with every breath she took, vi
brated like living flower, with waves
of color, changing from moment TO
moment like happy, trembling dawn,
To know-yet not to say Yes we were
both at that divine moment which
hangs like a dewdrop in the morning
sun-ahl all too ready to fall. Oh
