BY Laura Brcuillette

in Poland His judgment and elo-
quencc at once brought him to the
front. The steady growth of his re-
putation was quickened by the ap-
pearance of a remarkable work,
Coates Of Tongues Unlocked" not
merely for the condensation of
thought and exactness of expression
but for the knowledge it applied to
human life. His fame at once became
great at home and abroad.
The grandeur and originality of
Comenius' intellect parted him from
the great mass of men. He had great
social and political opportunities.
Through the secret plans of his
friend, Samuel Hartlib, Comenius
was placed in the English Parliament.
Put civil war broke out, and Comen-
Jus, with crest-fallen hopes, returned
to LISA. For eight long years Comen-
Jus constrained himself to the reform
ing Of schools. He realized the neces-
sity of educational improvement.
The direct and shortest way of real
izing these ends was the use of
ways and practices. He
is termed the Founder of Method"
A decisive influence in the develop
ment of modern method and pro-
cedure is unanimously attributed to
his philosophy. He was the first edu-
cational reformer to proclaim and
insist on the unity Of knowledge, and
the first to clear the way for it by
setting aside the traditions and Gus
toms of the past; and the first to
point to the enormous results which
It's culture would bring in increas-
ng the power and happiness of later
And it was the energy,
he profound conviction, the elo-
1uence of Comenius which called the
attention of men to the Importance

churches on a larger scale.

Johann Ccmenius was a great edu-
cational reformer Of the Middle Ages.
he was native of Moravia, being
born on March %, 1892, at Nivnitz.
His parents died when he was yet a
little boy. Evidently, he was not
peaniless, because after finishing his
elementary course at Strassnick, he
entered Latin school at the age of
16 or II; from the Latin school he
went to the College of Herbon, a
noted institution in Nassau. He de-
rived much Ct his knowledge and
learning from travelling, and from
this experience he came to the con-
clusicn that there should be an untold
amount of educational improvement.
an 1914, he was introduced into the
Cffee of Christian ministry and was
invested with ministerial functions.
At Fulneck, his time was divided
between the church and the super
intendence>Of schools. He devoted a
considerable portion of his time in
reforming public schools and es-
tablishing Libraries, where he gave
lectures and instructions. In one of
his talks he said: "What better or
greater service could we perform for
the state than to instruct and to edu-
cate the young" He believed that in
every well-ordered habitation of man
school or place of education for the
young should be erected. In 1913 he
enjoyed married life for a few years.
But as time went on, unfortunate
circumstances occurred. In 1921, in
the Battle of Prague, Comenius lost
his entire possessions, libraries, manu-
scripts, and other valuable writings. !
Later his wife and one child died. In
1924 his religion was nearly extir-
pated by the persecution of protest |
ants. His hopes were completely |
dashed to the ground. Troubles befall-
ing him, Comenius left and went to
LISA. He was graciously received |

his patrons, Lawrence De Geer,
Comenius was offered a home in
Amsterdam. Here he continued CIV
irg lectures and instructions, making
a sufficient sum to live on in comfort
and case. He died Nov. Is, 1871, and
was buried at Naarden.
The literature concerning Comen-
Jus is large and exhaustive, covering
subjects of deep thought. After his
death, his works became so popular
that on Oct. l, 1891, the people or
ganized a Comenius Society, as rich
storehouse for Comenius' works and
masterpieces. Much of his work and
practice were left for posterity to
bring to completion.

LIEUT.. JOS. M. DAVIDSON is
LAID TO REST IN
WASHINGTON.

To the gathering of relative and
friends who assembled at the beau
tiful resting place Of those who have
gone before which was the home of
Robtert f. Lee, and is now designated
as the Arlington National Cemetery
the funeral obsequies of Joe David
son were sad indeed. To us he was
"Jcdy" Davidson, officially he was
known on the lrols of the war depart
ment at Lieut.. Joseph NJ. Davidson
of the 318th infantry A. E. F.
"Jody" Davidson was one of those
boys full Of enthusiasm and high
ideals, who gave their lives in the
cause of freedom; he fell on the
blood-stained soil of France in 1918.
Every one in St, Joseph knew him
and it would be difficult to find enc
of his neighbors who did not love him
He fell under the flag which he loved
and which covered his casket as it
was lowered into the grave today.
Last week the body of the boy
reached the port of New York, nearly
three years after he had made the
supreme sacrifice.
Miss Marjorie Davidson, his sister
had been waiting for neasy two
months fer the arrival CT the casle.
and yesterday m-rning reached
Washington to meet her father and
mother who arrived from louisiana
at the same time.
A few minutes before II o'clock
this morning military band, ac-
companied by a firing squad and
platoon Of troops from Fort Meyer,
marched to the hillside, where the
family and several score Of friends
were gathered and formed at the side
OF the grave which was surrounded
by great masses of flowers. The band
played Lead Kindly Light and the
chaplain standing at the head of the
grave read the burial service. the
firing squad fired three volleys, the
trumpeter sounded taps, and the NOR
tai remains of Joseph Davidson were
committed to earth, to mingle with
the ashes of hundreds of his COM
rades who surround him in mis- last
sleep.
above the grade, one of "Jody's" class
mates navigated an airplane, from
which showers of blossoms were
dropped on the casket. Then. as the
mound was raised over the mortal re-
mains of the young soldier, a great
blanket of flowers was spread and
scores of bouquets of lilies, roses, !
carnations, sweet peas and lilies of
the valley were heaped all around
the place where Lieut.. Joseph NJ. /
Davidson'S mortal remains will rest
in our fair Southland until summoned /
to answer the reveille to which all
must respond.
Those from out of town who at
tended the obsequies were Mr.. and
Mrs. W. NJ. Davidson, Miss Marjorie +
Davidson, Richard F. Whitney and 3. /
F. Young of st. Joseph; Eli Watson .
Of New Orleans; Mrs Ransdell. wife /
Of the United States senator; DR..
and Mrs. Dan Borden of the medical |

Dr. Borden had visited the grave of

which blossoms were dropped, and
