Youths search for thrills leads to
some strange doings. A young man
at Steubenville, Ohio, thought he
would initiate Martin Durkin, Chi
Cages 'sheik bandit" and wrote a
letter to wealthy retired manu-
facturer, demanding $4,000 under
penalty of death. The letter was
quickly traced to him and he was ar
rested. Il would have returned the
money" he told the police; 1T only
wanted to see IL could get It,"
Giving this voting man--who at
the age Of 20 Is married and has two
children-full credit for the purpose
that he has stated. the case illus
trates the instability Of q certain
type Of the younger generation. He
wanted a "kick." He wanted to
fiirt with crime. He sought an adj
venture. He got IL.
This young chap evidently had no
thought for his family when he took
chance Of blackmail. He will prob
ably spend couple of years in
prison unless the object Of his threat
shows mercy on him and refuses to
prosecute. Then his wife and chill.
dren will have the adventure, and the
sorriest one that can befall. And
the pity of 1t all is that there are
many such as he who have lost
their moral balance and are DELHI
erately questing for experiences. The
Chicago boys who killed a little fell
low for a thrill were of this type.
They are now in prison for life. hav-
ing barely escaped the gallows. The
news accounts are full OF such hap
penings. Is the law the only correc-
tive that can be applied to check
this unwholesome morbid tendency
that afiiicts 80 many of the rising
generation?

one day at his easel painting a land

In fine, he was seeing that which was
invisible TO the unframed and un-
skilled eye. John r. Mott once made
the observation that we needed to
substitute the penetrative vision for
our so-called broad outlook. Most of
US see but the surface Of things. Few
Of us seem to have the faculty to dis
cover the beauty and mystery that
lie behind. We are near.sighted rath-
ef than faxssighted.
It was written of Christ that HE
knew what was in man.: in fine, He
penetrated beneath the surface and
discovered elements that commanded
His deepest affection. He reckcned
with latent powers and, reckoning
with them, He called them into &C.
Ion. 1t was this gift OF penetrative
vision that made Him the master OF
men. To the man with spiritual in.
sight this world and life itself takes
on a new meaning. He sees behind
events. understands their significance
and import and calculates their re-
suits. To him every new age is q
fresh revelation and every new ex-
perience q confirmation of his faith.
Faith IL the substance Of things
hoped for, the evidence Of things not
seen" And in another place we read:
1.-THE things that are seen are tenn
poral, but the things that are not
seen are eternal"
Christ's supreme effort was to open
the eyes OF men TO understand the
real and deep significance of life; to
make them understand that behind all
the seeming incongruities of it resides
q definite plan and purpose. He
sought to give life new meaning
and to interpret 1t in terms Of its
highest development. He sought to
dispel the shadows and to make clear
the possibilities of it's highest and
eternal fulalRment. He saw the end
from the beginning and illuminated
those dark mysteries that through
the ages have confused and bewilder.

prayer may we offer for one who Is
struggling with life's serious prob
lens than this: open his eyes that

The Peach in England.

A carload Of Georgia peaches has
been landed at Liverpool, and the re-
port is that they sold well. There are
calls for q second helping. In some
ways the English have good taste.
They are quick to see, or taste, the
virtue and the splendor Of the Virginia
apple. England eats more Virginia
apples than washington. Some Of our
citizens are so lacking In discretion,
so dumb to the fine art Of apples, that
they win take home apples that have
no virtue except good looks and leave
the noble apple Of Virginia or New
York to languish in the mart. There
was one Virginia apple which came
near Americanizing and reforming
the English people. It was the Abe

Times change, and men and
morals change with them. During
the recent inquiry into the Pennsyl-
vaYlia senatorial primaries Il was dis
closed that sums OF $4,000 and $780,
900 had been completely lost track
of. No one knew from whom they
came or just where they went. A
recalcitrant witness from Pennsyl-
vania, at Chicago on Thursday re-
fused absolutely to say where he
got $4,000 which he contributed to
the Ware campaign fund In cash.
The witness holds a public ONCE
in Philadelphia which pays $4,000

Coming to the Illinois primary 1t
has been shown that no formal or
complete accounts were kept as 10
receipts and expenditures. Henry

Seeing and perception are not nee
essarily related. II there are things
that ''lie too deep for sound or foam, -
there are realities all about us that
the phyeicai eye is incapable of seeing
and that are only Understood By what
Bishop Brent calls 1.-THE sixth sense"
namely, the spiritual.
The incident from which the above
passage Is taken presented situation
that seemed critical In the extreme.
The King OF Syria had laid siege to
the city In which the prophet Elisha
dwelt. He had compassed II about
with "a great host" and the capture
of the prophet seemed inevitable. The
young servant Of Elisha, rising early
ins the morning, had gone forth to
view the situation and returned in
haste to his master, saying, ALAS, my
masteri How shall we ,do?" To his Wis
ion there seemed nothing but impend-
ing disaster; there was no way out OF
the dificulty. The answer Of the
prophet was characterized by perfect
assurance: Fear not; for they that be
with us are more than they that be
with them" And Elisha prayed and
said, Lord, pray thee, open his eyes
that he may see." and the Lord opened
the eyes OF the young man and he
saw and, behold, 1.-The mountain was
full OF horses and chariots of fire round
about Elisha"
To the vision Of the prophet his life
was garrisoned and protected by forces
that far exceeded those OF the enemy.
God Is not always on the side OF the
heaviest battalions. Repeatedly in hu.
man history men with limited forces
and poor equipment have resisted and

In "As You Like It" Shakespeare
pictures life as divided into seven
ages. In the realm of education there
are also seven ages, the pre-school age,
the kindergarten age, the elementary
school age. the junior school age, the
senior high school age, the college age
and the professional or graduate
school age.
We have been more concerned with
giving the child some knowledge in
each Of these ages than in directing
and aiding his transition from one to
another. We have neglected the peri
DDS Of adjustment, and the periods Of
adjustment are the most important
and fateful periods in life. We have
devoted our attention to preparing our
students to enter a. more advanced
grade or a higher school rather than
directing them how to meet life. We
have been remiss in every one OF the
seven ages of education in explaining
to the youth who enters each what is
before him, what is the purpose of
the particular educational epoch and
how he can best suit himself to it's
exigencies.
And adjustments are not made in
tuitively. The child passing from the
pre-school age to the kindergarten
age. thrown with other children. out
side the family for the first Tins. has
no experience which will guide him
In setting up the proper relations.
Nor does the youth passing from the
regulated program Of the high school
to the freer life of the college have
knowledge Of his new experience
which will carry him to success. The
organization OF the confederation OF
the colonies after the Declaration OF
Independence was faulty because Of 4
lack of precedents, and the finally sue
cessful form of government was 40.
complished only after repeated mis-
takes and disappointments.
We are not without presidents in
educational development. We know
the difficulties, the obstacles and the
problems which our children face In
passing from one epoch to another,
but vet we have not made this knowl-
edge available to them, and as q result
the student mortality Is vastly greater
than Il should be. Youth has need Of
guidance In transition periods even
more chan in the routine work OF the
school wear. The vacation problem,
the problem OF orientation in the first
weeks OF the school termthese are
noints which If neglected will hinder
the development of an Intelligent
cifizenry. No matter how finely con-
structed are the railroad coaches they
will not travel out Of the station tln-
less they are properly coupled to the
engine and TO each OtheR.

revfves memories of q period which
already has been forgotten by most
Of the modern generation. The MauSo-
leum has been forgotten by most Of
the modern generation. The mauso-
leum is a gloomy affair. 1t contrasts
sharply to the Lincoln Memorial,
which stands by the Potomac. The
Lincoln shrine seems TO live. It has
none of the finality Of death which
seems to hnger about the Canton
tomb.
The Harding Memorial under con-
struction at Marion, Ohio, will par
take of the spirit of the Lincoln Me .
mortal. The plans also are suggestive
of the general circular style Of the
amphitheater at Arlington National
Cemetery. Twenty-Five years have
brought about their radical changes
in architecture for the dead as well
as for the living.
Within the Mckinley tomb there
still remains some of the everlasting
wreaths which marked the passing OF
the nnartyred man. One Of them bears
the simple card 1.-THE President" II

other bears the card ''Mr. Cortelyou.
