THEY LIKE TO GO TO SCHOOL

CCHOOLS are not what they used to be
- when children reluctantly went to their
lessons
The interest and animation on the faces
Of the little boys and girls seen on the streets
this week on their way to the school houses
indicated pleasure at the reopening of the
schools.
The teachers have learned now to make
learning attractive They cannot extract all
the drudgery from the process but they can
and they do surround it with enticcments
which appeal irresistibly to the Imagination.
1t is sometimes argued that the processes
Of education are made too easy and that the
mind loses somewhat in discipline as a re-
,ult But most of us will agree that anv-
thing which will get knowledge into the mind
of a child is defensibe Whether every one
would go so far as some of the literature
teachers in the Philadelphia schools is omen
to doubt. But it must be admitted that the
teachers who suggest that the boys read
Bran Stoker's "Dracula' in order that thew
NAV discover for themselves that book can
be absorbingly interesting report that the
plan works. After reading "Dr0rua" the
BOYS ask for something else, and in time
they begin to find the best literature at
tractive.
Modern educational methods seem to be
based on the theory that the first essential
is to arouse the interest Of the puDil. Mon
of middle age whose interest was not aroused
in their youth and who were taught by main
force are glad that their children and grand
children are subjected to a more intelligent
process of education.

A REST FOR DR.. HARRISON

THE resignation Of Dr. Charles Gusts
i Harrison from the Craftsmanship Of the
Board Of Trustees Of the University Of
Pennsylvania does not mean that he is losing
interest in the institution.
He could not lose interest IL he would
No man who has served for forty six Years
on the Board Of Trustees Of an institution
and been its head for fifteen years could
lose interest in it.
DIR. Harrison is not retiring from the
board. He is merely giving up it's chair
manship because the duties of the office are
too pressing for him. He is no longer a
young man and no one will be critical Of
him when he seeks to shift to other shoulders
the details of n responsible office
His name is inseparably connected with
the University. He has been one of its
Renerous benefactors, and so long as the
University survives his influence upon it
I will be reflected in the conduct of its affairs.
It is such loyalty as he has shown that pre :
serves the traditions not only of this uni =
versity, but Of every other great university
y in the country. These institutions do not
maintain themselves, but are maintained by
z ths men who believe in them.

Is the last wish OF a soldier dying

Legion thinks ii is. Recent cases be-
fore the courts have brought the dueS-
ton 10 the front According TO Federal
Judge Neterer Of Seattle. the wish OF
q soldier killed in battle is higher law
than any departmental regulation. Ac-
cording to this decision Agnes Claffy,

on account OF the death OF Swank's
