In the great stained glass window

are not the mere emblems Of an exalt-

In short. the best part Of the instruc-
ton at West Point is not taught from
books. 1t is character building, de-
mocracy, duty, honor, self-reliance. It
is training a man to stand on his
feet. "In those things" says the West
Pointer, 1--WE may have a peer, but we

Therefore the year 1920 being a

long as the house knows that the sem

abuses as this old seed abuse, that is
hoary with age and claims to be sane

Historical significance of the Year 1920

INTERNATIONAL celebration of the
! tercentenary Of the Pilgrims. owing
to delays caused by the great war, will
be largely celebrated In 1921 instead
Of 1920. There are, however, many
local celebrations scheduled for the
year. In this connection, an address
to the American people of the Sui
grave Institution, in association with
a long list of American organizations
ana individuals Of prominence, was
read into the Congressional Record by
FEES of Ohio. This address says, among
OTHER things:
1t so happens thar the year 1920 is
dohbly significant historically, in that
300 years ago beginning on the 30th

they had fled from Britain to be free
to worship God in the Of
which their conscience approved, was
already making ready to go to Amer
