Japs Hold Students
Are Privileged Class

Students are a privileged class
in Japan. easily distinguished by
their uniforms. suggestive Of Ger.
man schools, light blue for the
younger ones, dark blue for the
older. Many of the older ones
wear the old costumes, now re.
gaining favor, of a light blouse
and a full dark shirt. These with
the regulation military cap and
wooden clogs (geta) make a very
handsome and picturesque habit.
The course of instruction In
Japan, as in America. is sixteen
years. From elementary school
on. the facilities grow more and
more restricted and the students
are chosen on a competitive basis.
Competition is very keen, as the
average Japanese is eager for edu-
cation. SuicidS by students who
have failed to make the grade are
not uncommon. While the severe
competition undoubtedly has its
drawbacks, 1t does produce good
students.

4 HOUSE BUILT
 CHRISTMAS DAY

A home that was built on 8 Christ mas day stood for a long time on the old Santa Fe trail here it passed near Arrow Rock, Mo, on the Missouri river. Though not quite completed in a single day, with the help of his neighbots on that holiday about a hundred years ago, Henry Nave got his cabin ready for his family and the day after Christmas took them into his shelter.
 Of course the house was built of undressed timber, felled right on his farm. When he had selected the To- cation this pioneer cut down round poles for the walls, rafters and joists-the framework
 MT Nave had found some large, flat stones, and in the afternoon they dragged these into place for the hearth. Then of other suitable rocks, by much putting and pulling they built a fireplace-one of those great practical ones which served to heat the home and to cook veni- son. buffalo meat, corn pone and other "victuals.v the exterior of this fireplace was wood, the stones pro- viding a fireproof lining.
 The mortar to bind the stones was chiefly mud; to obtain even this simple ingredient it was necessary to build a fire in the middle of the half-constructed cabin and thaw the ground.
 But, writes this hardy woodsman, "It was not many days until we were living snugly in our cabin and in good health and with fine appe- titeS."
 Holidays among our ancestors were made occasions for such cele- brations as this, but they never witnessed the cessation nom labor ours afford. There was always need for immediate shelter, crop har- vesting, or game killing. Hence log raisings, -hustkings, and gun shoots were made social occasions. But do you suppose we ever have more fun than Henry Nave's family and friends had building 8 house on Christmas day?

CHRISTMAS AMONG TIE
 PINE TREES

Big Bill, in spite of his six foot four was a boy at heart. Boss of @ logging crew he could be plenty stern when occasion demanded, but a Christmas tree and all the lights and cheer that goes with it was his weakness.
 "Christmas is no fun without kids" was the way he put it. But, it looked like Bill was doomed to disappointment this year.
 The crew were lounging around the fire after a hard days work when Pudgy Sam, the cook, shook the ashes out of his pipe and said Whats the reason we can't have a Christmas just like home right here? Plenty trees, if we can mus ter the trirnmin's."
 Bob, the kid dishwasher, was all enthusiasm. We've got popcorn. I've strung yards at home for nom Sams got a harmonica, and Dave a Jews harp an some of you fellows can sing. And I'll trim the tree"

 "Oh Little Town of Bethlehem. !" led by Sams harmonica, floated out from lusty throats upon another star-strewn night.
 Big Bill in a scrambled suit of red flannel and hemp beard was a satisfactory Santa Claus to at least two happy children. He handed out gifts to everyone. Sam had done his best on the feast that followed. and everybody joined in the three cheers and a tiger for jolly Christmas among the Oregon pines.

 Good Deed
By JoCILE wEBB PEARsoN

Billie Jones adored his big bro 1 ther. Jim had been a boy scout be- fore going to college and to be q scout like Jim was Billie's .one ann bition.
 If we're goin' to be scouts" he confided to his chum Joe Perkins, we oughta begin practicin'."
 Yea, but how do we know how to begin?" inquired Joe.
 Huh" snorted Billie, anyone can do a good deed every day"
 We can help our mothers" said Joe. Sure, replied Billie, but this must be somethin' special like helpin' old Miss Riley carry her bas- ket when it was icy, or somethin'- An bein' Chrismus, we oughta give somethin'; mebbe a present, too. Say, I got an idee, Joe. Why can't we give her somethin' for our first good deed? She don't have daddy or nobody to help her"
 But we ain't got money" ob- jected Joe, "an' I bet she needs a lot of things-coal an kindlin' an everthin'."
 Leave it to me, Joe. got another idee, but it's to be a secret. 'Tain't a good deed if va tell anybody. Now cross your heart an say: I'll never tell till death us do part There, that's the bindinest words know"
 Anyone would know it was Christ mas by the spicy fragrance in the air. Even before one saw the big lighted tree in the living room.
 There were many whispered con- versations and signs and giggIes between the two boys that Jim's keen eyes found amusing. Coming home one evening he surprised them in the act of smuggling basket of coal out the back gate.
 Hey, fellowsl Where you going with that?" It was Joe who blurt- ed: Billie says it ain't no good If va tell" Billie hung his head. We're just practicin' to be scouts, ," he stammered, 'an this is our good deed We been doin' it for two weeks-I mean takin' coal to Miss Riley She's poor an deaf an ain't got no daddy to get her coal-half the time we take it from Joe's house Billie looked appealingly at jim
 An she only had tenny little bit" put in Joe, staunchly. An you're s'posed to give to folks Chrismus, ain't you?"
 T salute two mighty fine scouts right now" said Jim. But first we'll have to make clear the scout ideas of property rights. Deliver 1 your coal then come up to my room i and we'll talk things over"
 When old Mrs Riley hobbled to her door in response to a loud knock Christmas eve, she did not see two little boys scamper behind

coming this afternoon on Benning
Field, when the Heurich Brewers and
