"Grit"
oTHAT boys grit will make him
L his way in the world" was the
frequent comment heard recently of a
member of winning crew who stuck
to his oars, rowing with the rest of his
teammates. only to collapse as the
boat crossed the finish line-and be
operated on for hernia which came
upon him during the race.
1t is interesting to dwell upon how
the word grit" came to acquire the
sense of courage. Spartan oblivious-
ness to physical discomfort, stoicism
while in the throes of bodily or men,
tai anguish.
Grit is an old English term for sand
or gravel. with which words 1t was
synonymous, and which was used to
perfect the texture of stones, used for
grinding. The better the grit, the
more efficient the grinding stones.
&c. the human impulse for novelty
in expression could not we'll be ex-
pected to overlook such an opportunity
for introducing into our language a
word which has come to be identified
with those personal qualities which
make one stand out under conditions
of stress and strain.

Shortest Course on Ocean

The shortest distance between two
points on the same parallel of latitude
Except on the equator) is not this
distance on the parallel of latitude
but rather the distance on "great
circle' around the earth, passing
through the two places. This can be
understood more readily by reference
to globe or ball. Books dealing with
navigation point out that great cir
Gle course is shorter than the "rhunlb
line" or simple Mercator track. The
assertion that it would be shorter to
take course that goes north of the
parallel of latitude is correct.
