John Wanamaker

Philadelphia Public Ledger: Now
and then at regular intervals there
appear in this country few men who,
unspoiled by too much preliminary
education and moved by inherited in
stinct mysteriOusly related to Amer
ica's beginnings, seem like the voices
of the soil itself and of all our ancient
qualities Of mind and heart. Such
men may be CALAMITY naive or mere
ly reckless in courage or in high faith.
They may be glorified by beautiful
credulity or whipped along by an in
herent passion for justice or moved by
pure genius. They make mistakes
but their mistakes are always on the
right side They are the most roman
tic and significant figures of each gen.
GRAFTON
Wanamaker was one. He was, dur
ing all his life, believer in the un-
limited power of the lesser virtues
among men would, he seems to have
felt. have been enough to remedy all
the ills of the earth. The homilies he
wrote in the upper corner of his daily
advertisements revealed sensitive
ness of feeling and perception seldom
to be found in men who have the hard
stamina necessary to survival against
the impacts of lifelong business
career. They were reassertions of old
and appealing and very simple rules
of life, of great principles that are be-
coming questionable because they
aren't complicated or debatable and
hecalee they are almost too true to b.
interesting to an excited age. HIS
career NAV be said to have been a
triumph of good will.

If you hear of a boy or girl who
wants to quit school, when it is I'M
necessary; if you ever hear of par
ents who are thinking of putting their
children to work when it is unneces-
sary, just bring these figures to their
attention. Every day spent in school
pays the child 50. Uneducated labor
ers earn on the average $500 per year
for 40 years, total of $4,000. High
school graduates earn on the average
of $1,000 per year for 40 years, to-
tai of $4,000. This education re-
quired IL years of school of $50 days
each. The child that stays out of
school to earn less than SO day is
losing money, not making money.

DER WAY.

The following story appeared in the
Fargo Forum, strong old gang pa

is so, as they are strong against any
thing that sounds like bolsheviks:
Russia will come back" declared
Col. B. o. Johnson, U. S. A., former
superintendent Of the Fargo division
Of the Northern Pacific railway, who
has just returned from government
service in Siberia, where he has been
stationed the past five years.
Col. johnson spent yesterday after
noon in Fargo visiting at the E. M.
Crime home, 1341 Eleventh Ave. NJ.
en- route to Washington, D. c., where
he will make a report on his work in
Siberia as a member of the American
engineering forces. Col. johnson was
accompanied by his wife who joined
him in Siberia last January.
Economically, Russia is getting
upon a more substantial foundation.
Revolutionary movements are at an
end and the country has entered upon
a period of rehabilitation, said Col.
Johnson. Because Of the nature of
his mission, he was unable to COM
ment upon political or economic con-
ditions in Russia.
Russians Not Stupid.
my impression Of the Russian
people, after five years spent among
them, is that they are not the stupid
individuals so often pictured" said
Col. johnson. after learning their
language so as to be able to converse
freely with them, ones viewpoint
changes. Conversation and continued
association stimulate different ma
ture, which is not revealed in a casual
meeting. Physically, the Russians are
a splendid race Of people, and intel
lectually much better than generally
painted"
During the war Col. Johnson par
ticipated in the Czechoslovak occupa-
ton and was with the Russians
through the Kolchak debacle in 1919
and 1920. During his stay in Siberia
he has been engaged in railway re-
organization work, first in the inter-
ests Of the Allied governments dur
ing the World war and later in restor-
ing the eastern end of the TRANSIT
berian railway system, which project
was undertaken by these governments
and the United States. For his dis
services during and after
the war Col. Johnson was awarded
the French Legion of Honor, the
Czecho-Slovalda War Cross, the Chi
nese Order of Merit, and the Dis
tinguished Service Medal of China.

"All Present or Accounted For,
Sir" and at nearly every meeting
he should be able to be present or

The Boy Scouts of America have
adopted the International handshake
Of Boy Scouts. as far as using their
left hand Is concerned. Ever since
scouting has been in America, the
scouts have had their own peculiar
handshake. using the right hand,
giving prominence to a peculiar
position OF the three fingers which
stand for the three points OF scout
oath. Now they have added the
feature OF using the same grasp
peculiar to the Boy Scouts of
America, only doing IL with the left
hand. At the International Con-
ference of Scout OnciaLs which was
held In Paris last summer It was
noted that scouts OF all foreign ma
tions shake with their left hands.
Another international feature
which the Boy Scouts of America
have officially adopted is the star TO
be worn on the uniform designating
length OF service. This new regula-
ton does not take the place of the
service stripes, nor OF the veteran
five-year and ten-year pins. 1t
simply supplements them.
