but his true principles or his false standards be-
tray themselves from their lair in his sub-con-
scious self, and glorify or stain his writings.
H. G. Wells, that brilliant mistake, for in
stance, sought to write in his Outline of His
tory" narration of man that should glorify the
philosophy of determinism. To the discerning
and well grounded reader he succeeded simply in
irradicably staining determinism with the parent
age of its unnatural child, materiasm. So when
he advocates determinism the cure-all, he is
fatuously recommending more materialism. No
wonder the patient man, hesitates to take the
nauseous dose.
Now all this depression is just an introduction
to "The Story of Mankind by Hendrix Van
Loon, professor of the social sciences in Antioch
college.
Professor Van Loon has written this readable
history of man, this narration that flows from
hypothetical beginnings to our present times
with their materiastic illusions and hidden prin-
ciples, for children. Therefore, since we grown
ups are so childike in our knowledge and COM
prehenson of general or particular history its
simple, clear, flowing style is well suited to our
ability to understand.
The author is well grounded in worthwhile
principles, and they are reflected in THE Story
Of Mankind Even where he crltlclzeS unfair
and predatory wealth he does so in such manner
that one is reminded of Socrates prayer, 90
God, put no more gold in my hands than l am
fitted to manage"
Parents should buy this history for their chill
dren. They should read it themselves. They
will gain in knowledge and in breadth, per-
spective, tolerance and patience. The same quail
tiles will accrue to the children And both chill
dren and parents will understand one another and
life more clearly from the mutual and co-opera-
tive study of this history.

President A d. Gayle, of the First

not be erected permanently, because
of the fact that several conveniences
might be desired by those who estab-

the rooms. After the rooms have been
rented, they may be constructed to
suit the taste of the tenant.

Q. What is the commission form of
municipal government ?-H. A.
A. The commission form of city gov
eminent varies widely in the different
states. The characteristic feature is
the combining of all legislative and
executive powers IN single body,
usually consisting of from to Z men,
bers. These members are elected at
large. The mayor, as rule, is one of
the commission but has no more pow
er than his associates, though being
the official head of the city The adj
ministrative work of the commission
is divided into departments, each
headed by one commissioner. AS
safeguard, the commission form OF
government almost invariably includes
initiative, referendum and recall.
O. My husbands discharge paper
says 'Honorably discharged for the
convenience of the government"
What does this mean?-T. C. L.
A. The war department says that
the expression "honorably discharged
for the convenience of the govern
ment" as appearing on your husbands
discharge papers means that he was
discharged before his complete term
of enlistment had expired and the dis
charge was granted because he was
no longer needed in the service and
it was found necessary to discharge
a number of men.
Q. Kindly settle a dispute by stat
ing if passenger steamers ''shoot the
rapids" of the st. Lawrence.-H. T.
A. On the downstream trips all
streamers descend the rapids of the
ST. Lawrence. On the upstream trips
the canals are used. There is a SER
les of nine canals, which total AZ
miles, with locks As feet wide and 270
feet long-and with IA feet of water
on the stills.
@. What is the origin OF the ex-
preston ring a change"?-W. S. S.
A.. This expression is derived from
bell ringing. Change ringing was not
known until the beginning of the sew
eteenth century. The art made rapid
progress, and rings of bells increased
from or s to 10 or IL. With II bells
479,001, 600 changes can be rung.
