Most discoveries OF value relating

STUDYING SELF-GOVERNMENT

The students at the Breckenridge High
School plan to govern themselves. The
High School Congress. an organization
modelled after the Main Avenue High
School Students Council and self-gov-
erning bodies in other school units over
the country, has essayed the responsible
ity Of keeping the school orderly and
well behaved.
This is laudable step and in line
with modern principles. Many schools
have attained excellent results by the
institution of an honor system and plan
of student government. The Fl Dorado
School at Hot Wells operates on that
basis. Large boarding schools for girls
in various parts of the country attribute
their success to such system OF student
government.
But upon the out-working OF the idea
Iof self-government into a principle with
the individual students depends the
quality of success. Should the powers
OF the teaching faculty merely be trans
ierred to the overhead authority OF the
body of governing students, nothing
would be gained and much lost, for The
faculty is certainly much more capable
of conducting school than the body of
students, but overhead authority is not
self-government.
There is much talk about self-gnvern-
ment all over the world and little actual
training for it, not in the lack of learning
parliamentary methods, or the manipula-
ton of an organization or scheme, but
the actual training of the individual in
making personal decisions and taking
the responsibility for his acts.
Older people are often either TOO lazy,

The September afternoon was draw

hung listlessly from the trees that
bordered the path.
Dolly walked on with downbent
eyes she did not know why she had
come out-she had nowhere particu-
lar to go; but the house seemed to
stifle her: the presence Of Mary was
reproach.
She thought of Robert Durham
his kind, grave face. his worshipful
smile; and man coming along the
street bumped against her. He drew
back with a muttered apology, then
stopped.

Dolly caught her breath with al
most cry. She looked up at his face,
and thought herself dreaming; then
she held out both shaking hands, only
to withdraw them again agitatedly.

She had been thinking of him, and
now he was here. For two years she
had longed for sight of him, though
she had not dared to confess it even
to her own heart; and now he was at
her side. The blood rushed up into
her face; her eyes spoke the welcome
her lips dared not utter.

first; he was little pale, but quite
self-possessed.

ment ago." he said,

laundering over him-his face, his
figure.
He was so little altered-older. per-

expensive-looking boots. He seemed to
follow her thoughts. for he said,

Begin Here Today.


Dolly, a governess, is in love with
her poor sutton, Robert Durham.
When Nigel Bretherton, who has
money, falls in love with her, Dolly
gives UP Robert and marries Nigel.
The marriage proves an unhappy one.
When war is declared Nigel is glad
to enlist. He leaves Dolly in the care
of his friend, Mary Furnival. Mary
is in love with Nigel and tries to make
his wife happy. Dolly regrets her
hasty marriage with Nigel and tells
Mary she is sorry because she did not
marry Robert.
When Nigel leaves for the front,
Mary and Dolly decide to live together
in Dolly's flat. The girls are opposites
in every way but Mary tries to love
Dolly for Nigel's sake. New go on
with the story.
"Don't even you understands. she
asked, in muffled voice. Couldn't
you see that he was glad to go-that
he wanted to go? We've just been
making the best of bad job ever since
we were married-it was mistake
just q silly mistake. Oh, I'm not
blaming him--he's always been kid,
and l know he's good and brave, but,
oh, l know that he's hated it all as
much as / have." Her voice sank
to whisper.
A little fluffy kitten of Dolly's had
left the rug, and was rolling over and
over with ball of khaki wool between
its tiny paws, hopelessly entangling
it; but Mary did not ser, and would
not have cared had ste seen.
Presently Dolly lifted her head.
The elder girl moved little; she
seemed to drag her thoughts back from
some far distance to the girl at her
side.
II think" she said slowly-"I think
that-perhaps l always--knew."
In this moment of illumination it
seemed as if she really had always
known; some love is gifted with
strange intuition and she had always
loved Nigel.
Dolly went on impulsively:
IL don't blame him-he ought not
to have married me. / wasn't good
enough for him, .but-but l was so
tired of being poor-of earning my
own living" She thought of two un-
manageable children. and shivered.
And then suddenly she thought Of
Robert Durham.
She had never seen him since she
wrote that curt note of dismissal
never heard anything of him-and yet.
somehow, he had never been out of
her thoughts
Here was one reason why she and
Nigel had never been happy-because
she had alwa loved another man !;
she wondered what Mary would say
IL she knew. Mary, who had never
had love affair in all her life.
Mary stopped and disengaged thu
ball of wool from the Kittens tiny
paws; the knitting needles began to
click again .busiiy.
Dolly looked out of the window with
dreamy eyes. Mary, glancing at her,
wondered what were her thought, .e-
yond tiny quicker between her brows
she looked serene and undisturbed.
Mary stifled the sigh in her throat.

GERANIUMS.

OF all the flowers east and west
] like geraniums the best.
In ginghsm gowns they seem to dress,
Yet lose no whit of comeliness.
Of wholesome things they make one think
OF apples and new milk to drink.
And pleasant neighbors met to talk,
About the porch and garden walk.
And Joan and Darby. smiling still
At posies on their window-sil
They are as commonplace and right
.As books and tea and candle-light
And all about them is the scent
Of home and comfort and content.
Roses and romance have their place,
But here's an old friends honest face.
And who would trade so good thing
For oil the brief coquettes of spring?
Of all the flowers east and west
] like geraniums the best.
