Miss TrOXelIS Beads.
After faculty meeting had been
called to order and Mr.. Cook began
his talk, which he said would last for
a half hour, sound of dropping
marbles issued from the rear of the
room. Every one turned. Miss TroX-
ellis face was as red as a little mis-
chievous school boys caught in the
act. Silence again, and then the same
sound was repeated. No, Miss Troxell
was not dropping marbles, her beads
had parted company with the string
and had fallen first to the desk, then
to the floor. The laughter of the fac
ulty sounded more like that of stu
dent class room than that of so digni-
fled an assembly.
81 think that will be the last" Miss
Troxell promised contritely. Mr.. Cook
laughed. eff you'll just let me finish
my speech. Miss Troxell, we'll help
you pick them up"

Nuts,
During the Saint Patrick'S day pro-
gram given by the public speaking
classes, one group called a number of
the members of the other division to
the platform and then announced that
the play just ending was entitled
Gathering Nuts About this time
Mr.. Cook appeared in the doorway
and observed that the class seemed to
be having a good time. Miss Schoon-
over in explaining the hilarity of her
proteges. remarked to Mr.. Cook that it
was fortunate he had arrived too late
as the class had just staged play, the
title of which was Gathering Nuts
and he might have been caught, too.
Miss Schoonover and the class are
duly grateful that Mr.. Cook possesses
a sense of humor and the happy fac
ulty of accepting what people mean in
place of what they say.

SCOUTS BIGGEST ENROLMENT.

June, 1921, showed the biggest en- rollment of scouts in the history of the movement, a fact which ought to be matter of pride and congratula- tion to all concerned. The more boys that come under the influences of scouting, the healthier, happier, finer will the boyhood of America be, the greater the promise of it's future. It is not meaningless chance that makes us hear on every side that boy scouts aren't in the police courts, that boy scouts are in the honor rolls of our schools, that boy scouts are perform ing this or that civic service. Scouting rings true to it's aims. It not only claims to fit boys for manhood but 1t does it, so why shouldn't we be proud that the Boy Scouts of America num- bers an active membership of over 100000 Why shouldn't we salute and pay all honor to the scoutmaster, the volunteer leader of boyhood under a great banner to great goal? Why shouldn't we say to them and each other: Come on, let's make it 5OO,- GOO by ChristanasY"

Esmonn de Valera Takes Up Details of British Proposals With Ills Cabinct-Path to Peace
 Is Difficult.

London.-Nothing less than national importance will content the Sim Fein leaders The Irish Bulletin. official ort9n of the Dail Eireann, makes this declaration from headquarters in Dub4 lin
 While nothing is actually known of the nature of the governments pro. posais beyond the general outline of dominion home rule and fiscal auton. omy, the Bulletin contains an out. hurst against the assumptions of the British press concerning the negotia. tons, which appears to show that the proposals are unsatisfactory so far as southern Ireland is concerned
 Resentment is expressed at hints in the British newspapers that there would Do revival of the military terror, unless the so-called "conces. sionsN were accepted. But" declares the official organ of the Republican rarllament, the Irish people will agree to nothing which denies the an. clent unity of Ireland or seeks to i'm. pose upon the natio nalien dominion of any kind"
 rms outburst, which incidentally re. pudlates any wish to coerce Ulster Ia taken in certain quarters to be more or an expression of impatience with the patronizing air of some of tho London newspapers than an indica. tion of breach in the negotiations It at least confirms the impression generally held here that the path to peace Is likely to prove long and diff. ficult.
 According to advices from Ireland the government proposals include a pan to recognize the Irish police on g ciVii basis, eliminating the military eiement and disbanding the auxiliar. les. This would be an important con. cess1on to Irish feeling

THEIR BEST M0W>AND ALWAYS

Dean Mann of Cornell says:
 "When the boys of today shall have become grown men, the time will have arrived when this nation will be feel ing acutely the inevitable shortage of timber for our imperative needs, lln- less in the meantime new attitude and new program for the protection of our disappearing timber supply shali have been instituted. The boy scouts of today may well exert their full effort and influence in helping to assure an adequate wood supply against the time when they will man the nation. A first and fundamental step is misunderstanding the problem and the way out and helping other persons to understand it. Let the boy scouts use every means to- ward this end It Is doubly necessary now that we are again at the begin ming of the camping season and the dry periods.
 1.-The boy scouts have high ideals for national service. They know how to quicken public thought and acton. I hope they will do their best now and always In this matter of forest protec tion and development, which is so in- timately bound up with our future well-being as a nation"
