work twice as hard and three times as inenect-
i've. We would have learned to keep books IN
diligently and so that they meant real record
Of business done instead of collection OF items
more or less unintelligible to any one but the
person keeping them; would have learned
something of business procedure and usage OF
business terms which would have counted Tor
much in poise, ease and assurance when we TOOK
up a business life.
We would have learned more than our school
ing in the past gave an opportunity to learn
of addressing an audience without undue embar-
assment and too much self consciousness; we
would have learned citizenship subject full
of life and vitality instead of the old cut-and-
dried civics which we forgot year after we
had ceased to study it. Had we been boy IN
stead of girl we would have learned some
thing of the crafts, something of the good old
trades in working with wood and metal-onlJ
smattering of this, of course, but this smat-
tering would have been a right start in right
methods; we would have learned something OF
practical electricity instead of mere theory;
something Of applied arts instead OF mere book
larnin'.
We are not for fads, but, we stated In our
first editorial comment, are for facts that
count in helping every high school student to
get start in the right direction in selecting his
or her vocation and it is only by learning few
things about individual vocations that wise
choice can be made.

THE WOMAN'S THANKS.

Ihere is so much strong men are thankful for
A nations progress, slow strife's end;
AND though join my praise with theirs TO-DAY
Grave things these scarce can comprehend
So vast are they;
And so apart, dear God, pray thee take
MY thanks for these thy little blessings sake
The little, common joys of every day,
My garden blowing in an April wind.
"A hnnet's greeting and morning fall
OF happy sunshine through the open blind.
The poplars tall
That guard my threshold, and the peace that falls
Like Sabbath stiffness from my humble walls.
The little, simple joys that we forget
Until we lose them; for the lamp that lights
The pages of the books love the best,
The hearths red welcoming on winter nights.
The kindly jest
That moves within its circle, and the near
Companionship of those the heart holds DEAR
The dear, accustomed joys we lightly take
Too much for granted sometimes, as child
His fathers gifts; and SO, remembering,
For these my thanks, for these my treasures
piled
Each simple thing
Those wiser may forget, dear Father take
My thanks for these thy little blessings sake.

THE AMERICAN FLAG.
(By L. C. Hodgson.)

(By L. C. Hodgson.)
IT is no fabric Of silk or bunting-no mere
l beautiful cloth woven by human hands. 1t
4 is living thing, pulsing with the throb-
bling ardors of humanity, glowing with the fer
vor of immortal hopes, leapng out in ecstasies
of love and dream. 1t is song-the song of up
ward-ooking men. 1t is an altar fragrant with
sacrifice. 1t is garden wherefrom nation
grew, nourished by the pure blood of heroes
1t is heaven wherein the sanctifed gath
ered 1t is the Home where freemen dwell. 1t
is the battlefield wherein Honor strikes its glow
for the cause of God 1t is flame sprnging
wrong. 1t is voice that speaks with the elo-
quence of graves where sleep those who died to
make it mean Purity and Righteousness He
who looks upon that Flag with ransomed eyes
beholds within its folds the vaor and the faith
of Lexington and Gettsburg-the blazing eyes of
the embattled farmers at Concord Bridge-the
fierce splendors of the ocean that the cradle
Of Paul Jones-the clarion of death cry above
the ruined Aamo-the prayer of Washington
at Valley Forge-the agony of Lincoln as ne
paced the midnight hours--and, browning all,
the wind swept faces of boys who died along
the thunder smtten hills of France The Flag
of the United States is the Glory of God shin
ing in the faces of those who dream of world
made clean enough to be the dwelling place OF
our sacrifices into melody of service. For such
Flag true men will always gladly die-for
such Flag good men will always nobly live.
