CANADIAN UNIVERSITIES DECLARED MORE

moor. Hants, Canada. Dec. 30, 1869. He was ed
ucated at Upper Canada college. the University
OF Toronto. and the University of Chicago. From
1891 TO 1899 he was a member Of the staff Of Up
per Canada college and was later on the faculty
of the graduate school of the University of Chi

iitical economy department of McGiil university

America universities and Canadian universities
In the main are very much alike. We give the same
degrees. the same courses. But when we examine
them in detail we find quite a striking difference.
Our universities cover less latitude. have less d.
rection Of study than you have here in America. In
own school. McGil university. all Of the lectures
are compulsory. Even the fourth year students are
nailed 20 the seats. But on the whole students like IT.
It has always been customary In the past to wear
caps and gowns. but this tradition has recently died
out. Although an attempt was made a few years
ago to revive it. the students now wear ordinary
about s125. but now that they cost about sl2. the
students might as well buy a coat and a pair Of pants
Another difference between the two systems Of
schools. is that We don't carry things as far as YOU
do down here. McGill university Is not completely
co-educational. The law school and medical school
are still kept for men only.
But we have. like you. the perpetual temptation 70
put In practical studies in our universities We call
q course Craftsmanship instead Of Political Eecon-
cmy." We were recently asked to include a course on
hotel management and another on the selling OF life
but we haven't come to that yet. They are
hard TO keep out. though. for the students seem 10
like those catchy names.

DEATH OF WOMAN PROVES
FALSEHOOD JUSTIFIABLI

An entire community in New Jer-
sey, which has been aiding and abet-
ting deception and falsehood for
eleven years, voted itself entirely
justified recently, following the
death of woman whose name is
withheld because of her prominence.
Eleven years ago, according to
the Woman's Home Companion, the
woman, then advanced in age, had a
son, Robert, in the American Expe-
dictionary Forces in France. She had
been dangerously i'll on the day the
news came that Robert had been
killed in action. When the doctors
said she could not survive the shock
the members of the family did not
tell her. Instead they began to
weave an elaborate fabric of deceit.
During the mothers GONZALES
cence, letters came from France
and she accepted them as being
from her son. Finally one letter
said that he was staying in France
to work in the devastated fields af-
ter the Armistice had been signed.
Once started, the deception was
so successful that it could not be
stopped. For eleven years the rela-
tives of the mother continued writ
ing letters signed Robert" filled
with information gathered from
those who had returned. They were
sent to France to be remailed to the
mother who waited at home. She
lived on in happy ignorance for
eleven years and died happily.

IT'S A BET

Private Brown is perfect pest
about betting" said a lieutenant to
his company commander one day.
"The men are complaining that he
always wins, but they will take his
BETS"
"Send him to me and I'll fix him" 4"
A few hours later Private Brown
entered and saluted properly. A
short conversation ensued which led
to the subject of bets and concluded
with the following:
Captain, I'll bet $25 that there
are scars on your back"
Scars on my back? How did
they get there?" The indignant Of
ficer roared.
Don't know, but I'll bet they
are there" the private contended
doggedly.
"I'll take that bet and thereby
teach you a lesson" Peeling his
shirt the captain proudly displayed
a pair of hefty shoulders without
scars or mars.
The private acknowledged defeat,
handed over the money and with a
grin retired.
81 fixed your man." the captain
boasted when he again met the under
officer. "He insisted on betting me
$25 that there were scars on my
back and 1 took him up, but the ras-
cal was a game loser"
'He had good reason to be game,
for he had just bet me $50 that he
would have your shirtSoff in Is min
utes," the lieutenant replied with
face.-The Pathfinder.

SHORT GIFTS TO SUCCESS

The business men and the philoso-
piers say that there is no short cut
to success. That people must all
win their way by earnest and faith
full service, and giving people the
worth of their money.
But there are always a good many
people who think there is some way
by which they can cut across, and
avoid the long and toilsome path of
serious effort. Chief Justice Taft,
in recent address, suggested one
element of these folks, when he
commented upon young men who
go to college for social reasons. in

of those who seek to establish
themselves by reason of the fact
that they are college men,"
There are lot of young fellows
who seem to think, that if they can
only get the degree of some college,
then their path will be made easy.
They think people will be so i'm
by their standing as col
lege graduates, that it will be easy
for them to get highly paid jobs.
Most graduates find that hope il
lusory. They discovered as soon
as they went around in the busi-
ness world to ask for work, the
,act that they were college gradu-
ties did not count much. The busi-
hess men wanted to know, first, if
hey were willing to work hard,
ind second, what they had done to

There is no short cut

TREE FRIEND

A tree here in our schoolyard-
A spreading maple tall
Has such a friendly nature,
1t kindly shelters all.
A sober blackbird over there,
A saucy sparrow here;
And to the topmost branch a squir-
rel
Has scurried in his fear.
The ants have highways up and
down
The trunk so round and big.
And, oh! one day we chanced to
spy
A worm upon a twig.
A great big green and ugly worm
With stripes of color bright.
Some day he'll be a butterfly
Though now horrid sight.
And so the friendly maple stands
On guard outside our door.
Its dancing leaves make shadows
Go creeping cross the floor.
1t stands there while it's storming
And we are safe inside.
To let some frightened creature
Within its branches hide.
