of the veterinary division, State De-

He quotes statistics to show that

its unobservance has progressively
grown greater and greater with each

1T is A GOOD thing to observe
Christmas Day. The mere marking
of times and seasons when men agree
to stop work and make merry to-
gether is a wise and wholesome Gus
tom. It helps one to feel the supre-
macy of the common life over the in
dividual life. 1t reminds man to set
his little watch, now and then, by the
great clock of humanity.
But there is a better thing than the
observance of Christmas Day, and
that is keeping Christmas. Are you
willing to forget what you have done
for other people and to remember
what other people have done for you;
to ignore what the world owes you
and to think what you owe the world;
to put your rights in the background,
your duties in the middle distance,
and your chances to do little more
than your duty in the foreground;
to see that your fellowmen are just
as real as you are, and try to look
behind their faces to their hearts,
hungry for joy; to own that probably
the only good reason for your exis-
tence is not what you are going to
get out of life, but what you are go
ing to give to life; to close your book

BY NEWMAN CAMPBELL.

This is the day on which we again
read the sweet story of the birth of
Jesus. We think of the Wise Mon
mounted on their stately camels, and
guided by the bright star which had
come out of the East.
These men were called Magi, or wise
men. We get our word magic" from
this word magi. Magi were especially
interested in astrology and divination
propheses. They may have come from
Persia, and they knew that something
wonderful was to happen in Bethle-
hem the small Jewish town. and thew
travelled far to see it. First they went
to jerusalem, and asked everyone
they met: Where is He that is born
king of the Jews? For we have seen
His star in the East, and arc come to
worship Him."
Now, Herod was king of the Jews,
and he was a very cruel and Jealous
king. He didn't want anyone left alive
who might try to take his throne from
him. He had killed his wife and her
two sons because he thought thew
might do it. So when he heard what
the wise men said, he called his cour-
tiers around him and asked them
what it meant And when he found
that the Wonderful Child was to be
born in Bethlehem, he craftily told
the wise men to let him know all
about it and he, too, would go to
Bethlehem TO worship.
The brilliant star went ahead of
the three wise men, and when it reach
ed the manger where Jesus and His

spot. Ihen the wise men went in. and
when they saw the Baby, they kneeled
uoWn and worshipped and gave Him
gnts OF gold and precious gums called
IranKlncense and myrrh which were
very expensive.
After they had worshipped they
went directly to their homes, but not
back to Jerusalem, for they were
warned an a dream that Herod only
wanted to know where the Child was
that he might kill Him.
Now, at this same time, abiding in
the fields were shepherds, keeping
watch over their flock by night, and
10, the angel of the Lord came upon
them and the glory of the Lord shone
round about them; and they were sore
afraid"
AFRAID and then related the birth Of
the Savior.
And suddenly there was with the
Angel a multitude of the heavenly
host, praising God and saying:
Glory to God in the highest, and
on earth peace, goodwill toward
mem"
Then the shepherds went to Beth
lehem and saw the child in the man
ger and went away rejoicing. and
telling everyone what they had seen
and heard.
Soon after Jesus birth, Joseph,
was told in a dream to leave Palestine
and go to Egypt, for Herod would kill
the Child. So Joseph and Mary took
the Babe and went to Egypt. Herod,
when he could not find the Child he
sought, had all the babies under two
years of age killed, so that ''In Rama
was there a voice heard, lamentation,
and weeping, and great mourning,
Rachel weeping for her children, and
would not be comforted, because they

The scholastic atmosphere was
further borne out by the Presidents
manner-he took us to school. The
way he cleared his throat as he be-
gan was pleasantly PROFESSIONAL.
He said that on the day before
he had brought to his Office the six
or eight economic experts in various
departments of the Government that
have to do with prices He had told
them to unite upon a statement to
which all would subscribe. Merely to
get the Government economists to
agree, Mr.. Roosevelt said, was quite
q triumph.
Then he read to us the statement
upon which the experts had united.
Though he told us there would be
mimeographed copies ready for us as
we left, he read the statements aloud
with careful emphasis at appropriate
places. AS he concluded he picked up

classroom atmosphere) and turned to

Then, in smiling geniality, he said
he anticipated that we might have
questions to ask and that to save us
the trouble he had himself phrased
the questions which he expected we
would ask. The rest of the lesson
In economics was in question and
answer form. One question on which
he seemed to put much emphasis was
whether his program about prices
meant imitation. to which his answer
was an emphatic no. Another ques-
ton to which he seemed to attach
importance was whether his program
meant further devaluation of the dol
lar, to which also his answer was an
emphatic no.
