Childhood Is a stage in the process of that continual remanufacture of the life stuff by which the human race 1s perpetuated. . . . Peopleé with no im- aglnation try to make things which will last forever, and even want to live for- ever themselves. But the intelligently imaginative man knows'very well that it 1s waste of labor to make a machine that will last ten years, because it will probably be superseded {n half that time by an improved machine answer- ing the same purpose. ... With all living a thousand milllon eons and forever after, we die voluntarily, know- ing that it is time for us to be scrap- ped, to be remanufactured, to come back, as Wordsworth divined, trailing ever brightening clowds of glory.

CHANCE FOR A LITTLE FIGURING ‘A survey made by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on the food situation in Germany, Austria, Bulgaria, Hungary and Turkey, compiled during 1917 from laws, orders, decrees, pub- lic utterances, etc., in those countries, has determined that Ger- many and Austria are hard pressed, Bulgaria well provided for, Hungary in good shape, while Turkey is actually starving. That Turkey should starve while Hungary’s fed is a problem for some ‘“tall figuring.” .Colo}l,ege | SaintThomas SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA Under the Control and Direction of Archbishop Ireland Collegiate, Academic, Commercial and Preparatory Courses * A COLLEGE COMBINING FINEST CATHOLIC TRAINING WITH MILITARY DISCIPLINE Designated " by War Department as “‘Honor School” —A distinction reserved to ten best Military Schools in the United States Splendid Buildings, Grounds, Library and Equipment Junior and Senior Di- visions of the Reserve Of- ficers’ Training Corps.
