Inculcation of False
Ideals Cause of World's
War
By President V- H. P. FAUNCE
Brown University
C O
IX the new earth for which we
look the individual man is to
have a vastly larger horizon—
call it world consciousness, or the
international niind, or world citi
zenship, or what you will. We have
been little" Americans—we may as
well confers it—BUT WE SHALL
NEVER RETREAT IXTO OUR
PROVINCIALISM AGAIN.
We cannot talk of patriotism un
less we are willing to come to the
support of the nation with purse as
well as rifle, with honest tax bills
as well as llags over the front door.
We must drop our sectarianism and
party distinctions. Faction now is
treason, and bickering is betrayal
of the cause. "
In the new earth right thinking
is to be the basis of right action.
If we would cure the world of war
we must drive straight at the
causes of war—false ideas and
ideals.
IT IS FALSE IDEALS INCULCAT
ED IN EVERY SCHOOL IN GER
MANY FOR FIFTY YEARS THAT
HAVE WROUGHT THIS TRAGEDY.

An Interesting Test of Wits.
A game that affords fun and an In
teresting test of wits Is "your native
towu." At a party It will tide over
any dull moments that threaten. Pro
vide the players with paper and pencils
and ask them all to write the places of
their birth. Then give them a limited
time in which to make a sentence con
sisting of words that begin with the
letters in the name of the town and
follow the same- order.
For example, if the city is Haltimore,
then the sentence might be, "Behold, a
I large town in Maryland, old, rich, en
terprising."' The more aptly descriptive
of the towu the better is the sentence.
At the end of a si>ecifled time have the
players read their sentences, and, if
you wish, award a prize to the best
one.—Youth's Companion.
Igorrote Dog Esters.
I During our trip through the Philip
| pines we visited the dog market, where
I the Igorrotes bought and sold half
I starved cauiues with visions of a great
I feast off the protruding ribs. The Igor
rotes are abou: as much like the cultur
ed Filipinos as they are like cultured
Americans or cultured Japanese. But
the fact that the Igorrotes eat dogs has
done as much to prejudice us aguinst
the Filipinos as has the stoiy that the
Chinese eat rats to turn us against
the well bred Chinese, who not only do
not eat rats, but even have a distaste
for caviar and limburger. — Maynard
Owf» Williams in Christian Herald.
High Prices.
In San Francisco in IS 19 clerks in
stores and offices had munificent sala
ries. Five dollars a day was the small
est stipend even in the custom house,
and one preacher was paid $10,000 a
year. Laborers received $1 an hour.
A pick or a shovel was worth $10 and
a butcher's knife $00. At one time the
carpenters, who were getting $12 a
day. struck for $10. But it should be
noted that prices were exceedingly high
also.
