Hokum.

A school superintendent in a large
city, addressing a meeting of his
teachers, said recently:
"Of what use is it to spend eight
years in getting an education, at the
expense of the taxpayers, If at the
end Of that period the child has not
the vigor to make use Of the educa-
tion?"
Each year, it is estimated, 47,S56
educators tell each other and the
world that sound body is more or
less essential to carry sound mind,
but this grand old maxim Is just like
the weather-everybody talks about
it, but nobody does anything about it.
The educators recite this venerable
maxim rather for the establishment
of their essays, but try to provide
moderate program of physical educa-
ton or health training for the school
child and see how quickly you will
collide with the plans and prejudices
Of the school men who happen to be
in charge.
Take the situation in New York
State. Soon after the World War
the New York Legislature, impressed
by the sad showing Of our manhood
when summoned for military service,
enacted a law calculated to teach the
young how to jump, so that If ever
again the occasion should come, the
necessary million men may spring
to arms" This hasty legislation
forced the school men, much to their

Boy is to milk the cows. Every night

When the child was little we
thought him troublesome. Now that
he is big we think him terrible, for
we are filled with fears of which he

his danger that no words of ours seem

Each child is a law to himself.
Each home is a different home from

not work with another. What then!
One thing is certain about all of these

CHAPTER Ii.
An All-Night Drive.

Martin kept up his furious speed
until they had reached the environs
of the city. Then he slowed down.
His grip on the steering wheel had
been so tight that his fingers ached.
He had only one thought nOw-to get
rid Of Alicia and then drive and drive.
He didn't care where he went, but he
must have the exhilaration of speed
and motion.
New York began to loom up around
them. Cheap apartment houses stood
silhouetted against a dying sky. But
the ugliness of everything was mer-
cifully yelled because of the dusk.
Martin wasn't thinking of Alicia
save that he must retain enough
sanity to leave her at the Gilmore.
He was dimly aware of the fact that
he hadn't treated her very well.
He had asked her to have tea with
him at an old Westminster inn and
he had an idea that she expected him
to take her to dinner. Well, he
couldn't-not tonight.
He had to be alone with his
thoughts. He had to drive until this
redness that swan before his eyes
disappeared, leaving him cold and
calm and sane again.
At the side door of the Gilmore he
brought his car to a stop. A uni
formed doorman came to Alicia's as
sistance, so that she was standing on
the sidewalk waiting for him when
he walked around to her. For a mo-
ment they looked full into each others
eyes and then with just the barest
murmur Of I'm sorry, Martini" Alicia
was gone.
Martin was conscious of getting
back into the car and starting it.
He was conscious of turning uptown
and making for the Queensborough
Bridge. Then at last it was dark
and he was on Long Island. An open
road stretched before him. There was
no one in the seat beside him and he
could give free rein to his thoughts.
Nan. Mani Was ever a man so
madly in love with woman as he
had been with her?
She flashed before his eyes in a
series of pictures. At Helen Sheri-
dams the first night he had seen her.

with his dinner partner when sud.
denly he had glanced across the table.

flushed and turned away.
