"Spud" had = suit that had been darned and
mended until it was very difficult to discern
which piece was of the original fabric asked
him what he was doing there and he said he was
waiting for his mother. l asked him what his
father did and he informed me that his father
was dead. He further informed me that he had
four brothers, the oldest, only fourteen had never
been able to walk and had to crawl about the
floor as infante paralysis had left him a Grip.
pie for life, The mother was taking in washing
to support these youngsters and when she got
off the train from the trip to see her sick mother
fifty miles away, little "Spud" was right there to
meet her and the meeting and greeting would
melt the heart of an Egyptian mummy. We had
taken up little donation for the lad amounting
to about five dollars and we looked out the win
dow unseen to see what he would do. AS they
went down the walk he stopped her and put his
hand down in his pocket and began to turn over
the gift and the smile on those faces was ample
remuneration to the doners.

little mother and her little flock If you are rak

discussion of the subject. Not over a year
ago the writer stood one evening listening to
prominent corner in the business district of
town in Iowa. His truck was parked on
paving paid for by the business men with
whom he was competing. He was hawking
his wares to crowd that had gathered to
listen to band concert paid for by the same

and kept it up by their taxes, who by their
contributions to civic enterprises made the
town attractive enough to draw residents
there would have been no town in which the
itinerant could sell his cheap wares. He

and what he should be made to pay in what

AN EASTER PRAYER

Lord now that Spring is in the world,
And every tulip is cup
Filled with the wine of Thy great love
Lift Thou me up.
Raise Thou my heart as flowers arise
To greet the Glory of Thy day,
With soul as clean as lilies are,
And white as they,
Let me not fear the darkness now,
Since Life and Light break through Thy
tomb;
Teach me that doubts more express,
No more consume.
Show me that Thou art April, Lord,
And Thou the flowers and the grass;
Then, when awake the soft Spring winds,
III hear Thee pass!
Charles Hanson Towne.

this week all that is due it in reverence and love

time for individuals to get closer than they have
ever been before to the calm, considerable Christ,

TEST YOUR EDUCATION

| l ment It is measured by the men and wo-
! 1 men it turns out. The test OF culture is
| the ability to serve, the power OF giving, moi
getting; of helping, not hindering.
/ The college will ofttimes pass man the
world will quickly funk Many men have been
honored in college who have been dishonored by
society because with all their high gradings in
classes they have not learned how to march with
the masses.
The college is starter but it never completes
the education job. Your education does not END
when you pick up your diploma That is when it
just begins. That is why graduation is Com
mencement day.
Many of the best educated people got their
education without college courses. Test your
SELF If you can honestly answer Eyes to all
the questions that follow you are indeed educated
even though you never heard of Zneophon's Ana
tin tube.
Has education given you sympathy with all
good causes and made you espouse them?
Has it made you public spirited?
Have you learned to make friends and keep
Do you know what it is to be friend your
self?
Can you look an honest man or pure woman
straight in the eye?
Do you see anything to love in little child
Will lonely dog follow you in the street?
Can you be high minded and happy in the
meaner drudgeres of life?
Do you think washing dishes and hoeing
corn compatible with high thinking as dane
ing or golf?
Are you good for anything to yourself?
Can you be happy alone?
Can you look out the world and see any
thing except dollars and cents?
Can you be brother to your neighbor?
Have you better ambition. than merely
making your pile?"
Have you formed the habit of hoping that
you may help others and thereby leave this
world little better than you found it?
Do you put patriotism into your politics?
Do you support public official after cleo
ton with the enthusiasm you show before
election, thereby helping him to fulfill his pre-
election promises
Can you read the history that is written in
the rocks that boldly shoulder the broad current
and bend the river in its course?
Does the mountain lift you nearer Heaven
and the sea lead you in silent prayer?
Can you look into mud puddle by the way
side and clear sky
Can you anything in the puddle but mud !?
Can you look into the sky at night and see
beyond the stars?
Can your soul claim relationship with the
Creator?

evidently meant was that the race through APP
pication of the laws of heredty can improve it.
self indefinitely.
There is undoubtedly great truth in Mr.
Markhams statement. The human family can
raise in the biologic scale just as certainly as
fruit and flower and beast.
If selection of superior individuals for breed
ing produces better strains of cattle it is but
fair to assume that the substitution of sense
for chance would produce better strains in the
human species.
Obviously there difficulties ,involved.
We cannot handle men and women do our
domestic animals. Mating in the human species
is the result of sentiment and affections so holy
that he would be rash indeed who would ad-
vocate ignoring setting them aside even to
serve racial ends. If science were to be substi-
tuted for sentiment the social loss would more
than offset the racial gain.
But in spite of difficulties, there are GER
tain things that society must do-to insure it's
own regeneration 1t must by segregation or
otherwise stop reproduction of the feeble-mnd-
ed and those who carry the faint of insanity in
the lifesstream. 1t may through education i'm

Improvement; if this is done, there will be a re-
versal of the present tendency to shirk fespon
sibility to the race among those who are best
fitted by training and inheritance to be the pro
genitors of future generations.
1t has been demonstrated that if the present
tendency toward sterility among those intellectu
ally and physically fit and toward fecundty
among sub-normal continues, the race will b.
bankrupt in two hundred years.

Henry S. Fritchett, President of the Carnegie
Foundation, recently made very critical survey
on the Educational system of the United States
finding much to condemn in present edu-
cational methods and apparently little to COM
mend. No one will agree with Mr.. Pritchett-
in all his criticisms, but when he says that there
is a shortage OF vocational schools in the coun-
try and that high schools not qualified to
make good this shortage he gives us all some
thing to think about. None of us who has watch
ed closely the work of purely vocationa-tran-
ing school like Minnesota Dunwoody
Institute, can fail to realize the value of such
institutions and of the training they give in the
trades. They the best answer we know to the
plea for the dignity of knowing your trade" and
knowing it as experts only can teach it. When
of such institutions spring up, there will be
more skilled laborers to really fill the places in
which unskIled makeshifts arenow rafting
around. The high schools have done something
to start the trend tradeward but they
too limited and CONSTRUCTED to go all the way.
Their tendency is more toward the professional
field-and that field, because of this present day
desire to get away from common labor has an
unhealthy large number of the proverbal square
pebs trying to fit into round holes.
