DOES EDUCATION PAY?

1T is highly significant" says the
National School Digest, that statls-
tics show that out of one hundred
average thirteen-year old American
boys, ten leave school before they are
fourteen, 40 leave the next year, 20
the following year, and II the next,
leaving only Is boys at the age or
seventeen out of the original one hun
dred in school.
1.-THE law of averages shows that
out of 100 men, healthy at 20, forty
years later:
Thirty-six will be dead.
One will be rich.
-FOUR will be wealthy.
Five will still be supporting them
selves by work.
Fl1Ly-lour Will be dependent upon
friends, relatives or charity.
Some relation there between school
ing and self support. 1t would be in
teresting to see if the per cent OF
those who come to the age of sixty
five able to care for themselves could
not be increased by a longer school
life

PURPOSE OF LAW

Respect for law is a sentiment re-
st1icted to people fit TO be free; all
others feel tear of law. Laws should
be potent to enable as we'll as repress.
They should be restitutive as we'll as
punitive Restitution is the highest
corrective; it correct the criminal; 1t
repairs the economic breach made by
the crime; it balances the record in
stead OF merely stigmatizing the Of
fender. We fail because it is not JUS
tice that we seek-justice all round;
for society, for the citizen offended
against, for the offender. Laws that
merely make for the depressing Of
crime, and not also for the releasing
OF the normal moral energies, are
one-sided. Law and liberty go to-
gether, when law is the instrument IS
justice And such law always COM
mands true spect.-Henry Ford.

TREES

(By Joyce Kilmer, who died in
F'rance)
I think that 1 shall never see
A poem lovely as tree.
A tree, whose hungry mouth is press
ed
Against the worlds sweet flowing
breast.
A tree that looks at God all day
And lifts her leafy arms to pray
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.

LoYeliest of Trees, the Cherry Now.

Loveliest of trees, the cherry now
Is hung with bloom along the bough,
And stands about the woodland ride
Wearing white for Eastertide.
Now, of my threescore years and ten,
Twenty will not come again,
And take from seventy springs a
score,
1t only leaves me fifty more.
And since to look at things in bloom
Fifty springs are little room,
About the woodlands I will go
To see the cherry hung with snow.

curious surgical instrument in

the instrument, the bronchoscope,

lay public, physicians said its use
for the removal of for n objects
from the lungs and stomach is
quite common and that clinics are
held throughout the country.
The bronchoscope appears SIM
pie enough to the eye. Roughly, it
is a straight metal tube, more than
one-quarter of an inch in diameter
and about 15h inches long. A tiny
wire runs down the tube and there
is an electric light at the n
