"f understand, sir The boy looked at the
envelope in his hand "If-if I've been
behaving like kid, I'm sorry for that, too,
sir. It's just - liked it here so much
DR.. Lacey didn't know what to say.
Suddenly the boy looked up His eyes were
desperate. His voice was like prayer.
"Isn't there some way could stay, DR..
1acev? l could NOW lawns and do dishes and
help clean out classrooms. I'd do anything,
DR.. Lacey! Isn't there some way could pay
for the next two years."
DR.. Lacey couldn't meet those imploring
eyes, He turned to the window II wish
there were, Harry" he said gently. But you
know we don't employ students here at
Randolph. The Board feels that every boy
should concentrate on his studies, not on
outside work And, unlike other schools, we
don't have scholarship arrangements. l wish
we did"
THERE seemed nothing more to say. The
boy hesitated, then nodded, began to turn
away.
"Wait a moment, Harry. Sit down." DR..
Lacey clasped his hands on the desk and
studied the unhappy young face. He knew
the boys father was country doctor and
obviously not we'll off, since he'd been unable
to meet tuition costs. But that wasn't
Harry's fault. Somehow this blow had to be
softened. "You have good public high
school in your town" DR.. Lacey said. 1--WE
looked it up."
Eyes, SIR"
I'm fact, I've wondered little why, with
such good school available, your father
wanted you to 60 to Randolph"
Harry thought about that Then, without
raising his eyes, he said, He always wanted
me to have the best of everything, sir. He
used to tell me that - that boys who come
out of schools like Randolph have sort of
self-confdence that lasts throughlife Harry
faltered His words sank to whisper again.
These past two years have been wonderful"
The headmaster found his fingers busy
with pencil. He put it aside. "Well, some
things we've got to face, Harry" he said.
''One of them is that we can't have what we
can't afford"
I'VE - we could afford it all right if Dad
wasn't 50 hndhearted and easygoing, " Harry
said, as if talking to himself. People don't
always pay him what they owe and some
times he waits for years. Lots of times he
doesn't collect at ALL
But you can see can't you, Harry, that
we couldn't run a school on that basis?"
Eyes, SIR
DR. LACEY sighed He was thoughtful for
time and then he said, Il guess if you're
going to catch the AS you'd better do your
packing" He rose and held his hand out
across the desk, forcing smile. TITS been
good having you with us these past two
years. You've been fine boy. Harry. I'm
proud to have had you"

threatened his eyes again Thank you, SIR
he said quickly 'Good-by. sir" He hurried
out of the Office.
DR. LAcEY's feeling of depression grew
heavier with the passing hours. Toward four
O'Clock he found he couldn't work at ALL He
put his hands into his pockets and paced his
office. The boy wanted so much to stay. If
only there were some way.
At few minutes after four the two tele-
grams were placed on his desk One was
addressed to him, the other to Harry Stuart.
DR.. Lacey opened his own and read:
MY check on way special delivery. Please
keep Harry there. Alfred Stuart
DR.. Laceys eyes widened. A surge of
happiness rose through him. He snatched up
the telephone. asked his secretary to call
Harry Stuart at once.
When the boy came, he had suitcase in
one hand, his hat in the other He still looked
pale, but there was no longer any trace of
tears. He seemed to have resigned himself
to the inevitable. Telegram for you" DR..
Lacey said with grin. Il think you'll find
it very good news, Harry"
He watched the boy rip open the envelope
with nervous fingers. Harry read the mes
sage quickly. His eyes became enormous.
"Gee!' he whispered. "Cee!"
Your father says check is on the way"
He he says I'm not to worry! He says
he was able to borrow enough to cover this
whole year,
WELL" DR.. Lacey beamed. you're a
mighty lucky fellow, Harry. Congratula-
tions."
BORON" Harry said, staring at the tele-
gram. Then he looked up, still pale He
dropped the message on the desk, shook his
head Il can't let him do that, sir, !" he said.
II ,cO4ldnt let him do that"
DR.. Lacey stared But thought you
wanted to stay"
"Yes, sir I do But not this way Good
by. sir. I'm sure the high school in our
town is just as good as any place"
f1E LEFT, and DR.. Lacey stood looking for
long time at the empty door. After while
he heard the sound of the bus that was TAX
ing Harry Stuart to the station.
He sat down YEARLY He had sense of
failure that was bitter to his taste. He felt
that somehow he had failed, and the school
had failed. What had Randolph done for
the boy?
And then Dr. Lacey's glance fell upon the
brass plaque on the desk He read the words
slowly: Manhood, not scholarship, is the first
aim of education.
He thought of the way Harry Stuart had
put down the telegram, denying himself the
thing he wanted most. After a time DR..
Lacey looked at the window in meditative
way, and strange light came into his eyes.
Perhaps he and Randolph had not altogether
failed. The End

Wilson Club Hears
Talk bv DR.. Hapens
ANNUAL BANQUET.

American education is at a cross
roads, DR.. Paul Swain Havens, presi-
dent of Wilson College, Chambers
burg, Pa, declared last night in an
address before the Wilson College
Club of Washington.
Speaking at a reception given in
his and Mrs. Havens honor by
the local club at the Washington
Club, DR.. Havens pointed out that
the present overcrowded college and
university campuses have created
not only problem of faculty morale
but problem for the future OF
American education.
I'VE must now make a choice" )"
DR.. Havens said. Some colleges
and universities must prevent the
serious lowering of their educa-
tional standards by refusing further
enrollments. The American public,
on the other hand, must realize that
the educational economy is not in
definitely expandable, that educa-
tional imitation is just as possible
as economic imitation, and that de-
preciated educational currency
brought about by overcrowded class
rooms, and consequent lowered
standards, is as real a thing as the
deprecated dollar.
1t is hard to ask young people of
college age and ability to wait, he
concluded, but unless some do wait,
education in the United States faces
a decline in standard and there
fore in usefulness to the Nation
which may take many years of pain
full, uphill work to recover.
DR.. Havens was introduced by
Miss Ruth M. Bleezarde, president
Of the Wilson College Club.
