a neighbor said: “Will your corn
looks yellow.”
“Yes,” replied Will, “I planted

This made the neighbor angry

“No,” said Will, “jest the fence

COMPARATIVE STRENGTH
If human beings had the capacity!
for food of a caterpillar, they would
eat 400 pounds of food a day.
Compared with the ant, you are
poorly constructed. The least little
bump may damage or destroy one
of your delicate organs since it is
not protected by armorplate, while
a blow of similar magnitude, con
sidering the difference in size, would
scarcely be noticed by the ant.
If your legs were as strong as a
grasshopper’s you could 'jump right
over your house.
If man’s voice had the same carrying -power in proportion to his |
weight as that of a canary, his
lightest word could be heard 800
miles away (without benefit of ra
dio).
Fleas make such excellent per
formers because they have greater
strength in proportion to their size
than any other living creature. A
flea can draw a weight that is eigh
ty times heavier than itself; it can
do a high jump 3 0 times its own
height, and a long jump 300 times
its own length.
If we humans had the same pro
portionate strength, we should each
be able to pull an Army tank along
unaided, jump over the Washington
Monument (which is. 555 feet high)
and cover over
hop.

* SELF-RESPECTING
Last winter’ the heavy fall of snow effectually shut off the
food supplies of the pheasants: Very properly these lovely
usual
■birds
sought relief by appearing at the back doors of”the farmers. Liberally
did farmers rise to the occasion, in the hope that not one life of
their feathered friends should be lost. The pheasants are no pikers,
however, for as soon as the snow vanished the pheasants got off
relief and maintained themselves by their own exertions. Featherless
bipeds, will .be well advised to ponder the ways of the birds, who
having no guide, overseer nor ruler, never fail to provide for their
own wants if given a fair chance.

THEY SUPPLY IT
There’s a demand on the part of the public for war news of a
certain kind, and certain publicists supply it. The public must be
served. ,On the other hand there are certain publicists who are careful
to find out what is going on and when it does bring aid or comfort
to the enemy, that news is given out. There are a great many people
who would like to know the precise location of the Queen Mary at
any given moment. Chief among these .are the Germans. The pub
lic would like to know when troops are to be sent ‘here or there.
Chiefly interested in this news are the Germans. The Germans are
spending a tidy sum to get wind of what the Allies are contemplating.
The public would like to have this information, but wise Allied
governments are not supplying information that might imperil in
terests involving billions of treasure.
********
PROGRESS
As men and nations we are accustomed to represent progress
by a straight line. Yet when we think of it, only short-sighted people
think in this way. Science and history encourages no such belief.
Hippocrates and Aesculapius discovered centuries ago principles of
scientific medicine that are only now being practiced. For more-
than two thousand years the principles these men discovered were
ignored. Medicine did not progress in a straight line. Vergil, the
Roman poet, discovered the foundation principles of farming. Instead
by adding to his knowledge and improving upon his practice, the
farming world passed his achievements mqrrily by. The same failure
to add to the good won by hard experience has characterized the
race in every one of her activities as far as these apply to humaJf
life. Lately we have been thinking that whatever takes place, good
will come of it. No such easy way of carrying on is justified by events. History records periods when the race actually deteriorated
for a thousand years and more. Just now, we may as well own the
corn, and see that unless everybody is on the job, this present war
is steadily turning the clock backwards. We are becoming very
easy going and progress does not come that way.

LET US CONSIDER THE WHOLE QUESTION
School boards are concerned with the news that grants are to
be cut for secondary.education in Ontario. For one thing, let us
never forget that every scholar in the province means something
foi' the progress and stability of the commonwealth. Apart from sound
learnings, any commonwealth is headed for barbarism.
Without taking extreme grounds in this matter, we believe that
there is occasion for a thorough looking into our way of doing things
in our secondary schools. We know that scores and scores of scholars
who manage, somehow, to get into our universities and institutions •
running neck and neck with them, are doing poor work. Only once
in a while’’do we hear teachers in such institutions say of a pupil
from secondary schools, “He came to us well prepared.” Only too
often business men have occasion to complain of the lack of thorough
ness of the graduate from the secondary schools. Farmers anxious
about the welfare of theii’ sons hesitate to leave them more than a
year or so in the high school.
The cause. Well, it lies in the fact that the pupil in the sec-
ondary school is allowed to take things easy. If he loafs, he may
be scolded but words break no bones, and they do not put vim into
anyone. We know only too well that pupils are allowed to remain
in secondary schools who have no intention of improving themselves
or of giving a pennyworth’s return for their privileges. Yet these
idlers, male and female, continue in these schools at the publio
expense. Such loitering are Well known to the public who know
how they come by their pennies and resent toiling to support youth
in ease and idleness. This is one of the rubs in the present situ
ation. School boards who complain of the loss of grants should see if
they are giving the public value for the money they are furnishing.
