The very sound of them did ope good, thought Man garet. Bracing, like a cold bath, after the noises of the shrill native instruments. The breath of the bugies, albeit foreign bugles, was as a breath from home. Foreign bugles. Bugles of the Foreign Legion, Otho’s Regiment. It was entirely possible that there might be a man in that de tachment, marching far below, through the Mekazzen city, march- ing up to this very Citadel, who had known Otho, All of them would know of Otho Belléme, anyhow-the man who had defeated the Senega- lese boxer (who had fought and beaten: the champion of Durope) in what must have been. one of. the finest and stubbornest fights ‘ever ween. That was. what the Echo @Oran had called it, anyhow. Would it be possible to get to know some of the men, and to find out if any of them had known him? If the detachment left Mekazzen before she did, it might be the quickest way of getting a letter to him. But why should the detachment leave Mekazzen ‘before she did? Why should she not leave with * them—or at least more or less un- der. their eonvoy and protection? This Major Riccoli, whose ac- quaintance Herr Schlacht was anx- fous for her to make, might. prove most useful, _It he would help her to escape, eould she not follow the detach- ment wherever it went, until it reached civilization again—or with in a camel-journey of civilization? Anything to get away from this sin- ieter terrifying prison. all, this Riccoli was an “of- of the white kind; the Christians. What wes it they said aboutithem jin Mogador? Tho Christian -eares for nothing but. money; not inter ested in @ pvetty girl, even? Well, her mistress, the. Lady El Isa Beth el Ain would be interested to.know there were Christian, perbaps Eng- lish, soldiers in the citadel. A man, a young Moor, in a beautt ful hooded blue-cloth cloak, like a! Roman toga; big turban, and riding. boots, emerged from a near-by en- try and also passed the sentry. As dark as the latter was fair, the Moor wag, in his own. style, equally handsome, clean-cut and stamped with the seal of breeding. | Smaller and lighter though he was, | his walk and upright graceful bear ing spoke of agility, speed and strength, In passing, he too glanced at the fine soldierly figure and handsome face of the sentry who, now pacing his. beat, pasaed close to him. No feature of the Moor’s impassiye face changed in the slightest, but as he quickly looked away, his large bright eyes blazed. “Allah Kerim!” he whispered, and’ as he turned in at the entry through which the girl had disap. peared, he stood still, stared before him at nothing, and then laughed softly to-himself, “Praise be to Allah! A find: our excellent and obliging friend, Jules. But I can’t be mistaken,” and he hurried along the passage and up @ winding stair of stone. A few minutes Jater another man passed the sentry, a slower) fatter person, in khaki jacket and riding. breeches beneath a white cloak. A smal} white turban and hanging sneckeloth effectually concealed hig face. He too looked at the sentry, as he marched past him, looked quick- ly and glanced away again. A minute: later this man. joined the other who ha@ bidden him go and take stock of the sentry by the. newcomers’ quarters. Bursting into the room and fling ing himself down on. a divan, he roared with laughter—not drunken laughter nor the laughter of a quite sober man, “By God, Raisul, you're right,” he said, “It ts he. Otho Belléme— by all that’s wonderful!” “Not so wonderful, either, my good Jules,” replied Rajsul. “We knew he joined the French Foreign Legion, And we knewa detachment of the French Foreign Legion was coniing here. Well, ’it’s come—and he’s in it.” “But—by Allah!” Raisul added, and licked his lips while hig hands /moved in a curiously suggestive and unpleasant gesture. “Absolutely amazing!” continued Jales Matigni. “Othe Bellémé: here. Here—and in our hands , . .” “Yes. Here—and in our hands,” said Raisul, playing with the long dagger that he wore stuck. perpen: dicularly in the centre of the sash wound about bie waist, “What next?” asked Jules, eyeing speculatively. } his cousin THE ARTMAN PRESS ‘PRINTING eoeceeececsecoccsceceocooeceocs “Oh, something quite tnteresting /next, my good Jules.

Puesday afternoon, March 7: |. “LE have been asked to speak. on the importance of education, but) j1 am quite sure that. is. unneces-; sary for this audience. I know! that no one of the Woman’s Club jueation to become illiterate under j any circumstances. I would much vather apeak of the needs of edu-! cation, or rather, of the needs of different forms of education. i] “The form. of education that is; most in the public eye at present is that of adult education, | “The industrial ands educational leaders are pointing their fingers at the schools and saying, “You must train these people for a worthy use of their leisure time, Yow must give them an avocation. You must give them a hobby with which te oceupy their leisure time in a wholesome, sane manner,’ “The need. for such training is glaringly apparent at the present time, People out .of work : just now, but who have a hobby with which to oceupy themselves, do not brood. They are able ta pass over this time of waiting with bet- ter grace than those who have nothing to occupy themselves with except their thoughts, Need Some Training “This does not mean that adults must return to school as children in the fifth and sixth grades, but: it does mean that some form of adult training should be provided and further means that the boys and girls in school now should be given such training as to provide them with that hobby for use af- ter graduation. An additional burden is being placed on the schools beeause industry is de- manding that we keep young men and women in school until they are at least eighteen years of age for the purpose of giving jobs to thase who are older and who are heads of families. “Many adults will raise the ery that they cannot learn as well as they could when they were young- sters. This, however, is a false idea. We have proved to our sat- isfaction that adults not only learn as well as children, but that they learn a great deal better than children learn. As a matter of fact, almost any of you ladies here this afternoon could learn in the course of three months the same! things that it requires grammar schaol children three years to ab- sorb. We have established the! fact that learning ability increases with age, and achieves its peak be- tween the ages of 22 and 24. “You will never be able to learn any better than you could when you were about 24 years of age. When you were 30 years of age your learning ability was almost equal to what it was when you were 24, and it is much better than your learning ability when you were 18. At the age of 40, you cannot expect to learn quite as well as you did at 30, but your learning ability is very much greater than it was when you were 15. Your learning ability, then, reaches its peak in the early twen- ties and then declines very slow- ly until about 45, at the rate of one-half of one percent per year. Lack Of Interest “This, then, being the case, we wonder why adults do not learn more than they do. The answer) to that question is lack of interest, laziness, or lack of time, Nat- urally, if a grown-up is not in- terested in learning something, his or her learning of that subject will be very inadequate, but sure- ly no adult can give as an excuse for not learning the fact that his} or her learning ability is less than it was when he or she was a child. The idea that in childhood is found the “golden age of learn- ing” is a myth, and is no longer of any value in explaining lack of learning ability among adults. “In Denmark there is found one of the best examples of adult) jedueation of which I know. The; Danes have a regular educational! system extending from the kin- dergarten to university, and = in addition to this they have « sys- tem of Danish Folk-High Schools’ which is entirely outside of, and! not connected with the regular! ‘the class room, sings a ithe instructor, others Meantime—not a word to Marga educational system.

The Danes have found that students under eigh- teen are too immature to bother with, and that these over twenty- five have their habits of thinking jand prejudices and their super-} stitions so firmly fixed that they seldom, or never, change. Hence, they do net bother with students over twenty-five in these par- ticular schools. Peculiarities Shewn “The peculiar part to us be- comes evident when we see that they have no text-books, no as- IN THE CITIZEN BLDG.

Danish folk song, and the instruc-! tor gives his lecture. No ques-} tions or interruptions are permit-; ted. After the leeture is over, the class files out—some to go to the ‘library te increase their knowl-} edge along the subject outlined by; gather to} argue their instructor’s idea’ among themselves, others consult the members of the faculty about the lecture just given, while! others, no doubt, simply sit and dream. This is a system in which industry provides its own reward, and idleness its own punishment. Method Used “The instructor in such a sys- tem is out of the ordinary. He is chosen for his ability to inspire, to: awaken new truths, to render his pupils dissatisfied. At the end} of the term, most of the pupils go back to their homes with their minds bubbling with new ideas and: with the inspiration to find out the truths for themselves. They, ng@longer accept everything they hear or read as being true. They examine it in the light of their new-found critical attitude. “These pupils leave the school and. go home with such books as they can afford, but most im- portant of all they carry with them a list of books that they wish to procure and devour at the earliest possible moment. They have beén awakened and inspired by their instructors, and they have been sent home to educate themselves. The school aims to arouse the young adult, and. to al- low him’ to use the rest of his life in getting his education. “This system of school was started seventy-five years ago, At the time of its inception, Den- mark was simply a seething mass of problems—social, economic, and political. Today the kingdom of Denmark is one of the most prosperous and progressive coun- tries in the world. Credit for this complete transformation is said by authorities to be due almost entirely to the graduates of the Danish Folk High Schools. “Whether such a system of adult education would succeed in the United States is open to con- jecture. But whether or not it is possible here, we must. admit that the Danes have evolved a system of adult education that works. “In coming back to our present situation, I wish to discuss with you for a moment the need of a complete, many-sided edueation for our children. It is not enough that they have so much arithmetic history and English, but they must have other phases of educa- tion as well, if they are te become cultured citizens with ability to earn a livelihood, and to spend wisely their leisure time. Mare Emphasis Needed ‘irst of all we need more em- phasis upon the practical side of health education. Each grammar school needs a nurse, a dentist and a physician available at certain} times. We are told by the Mayo }Brothers that 87 percent of the premature deaths are traceable to causes originating in the mouth and throat. especially the teeth and tonsils. If, then, these young- sters are watched carefully in their growing years, their teeth, tonsils and adenoids cared for, it is reasonable to assume that the community in the course of twen- ty or twenty-five years will reap a decided benefit. “These boys and girls will grow into men and women who should live out their alloted span of life, and who should not leave families dependent upon the community or friends, due to their premature deaths. The community would be repaid also by the fact that these folks would have a higher earning power, and a higher level of cul- ture, by the fact that they would contribute ta the higher type ef citizenship in every way. “Health education in the gtam- mar school tends to merge into physical education in the high school, This physical education should not be concentrated upon a few, but should be spread over the many with two ideas in mind:| First, through physical exercise tof correct defects and to produce} healthy bodies; and second, to) provide each boy and each girl with the ability to play in some game that they can engage in as! adults, In this way we take care) of the leisure time of the adults and provide a source of pleasure and much needed exercise. “Music and art are included in departments that are among the first to be eliminated when the school has to economize. These two subjects, however, provide| methods ef expression, sources of culture, and avenues of adult ac- tivities. They cannot be lightly ignored and cast aside. It is the purpose. of the school in teaching music and art, not to train great musieiaus or evolve grest artists, | TODAY'S BIRTHDAYS one tecean @ecccce | Harold L.

The school cannot always teach its boys to beeome expert carpen- ters, masons, or metal workers, nor can it always teach the girls to become good cooks or dress makers, but it can give them enough along those lines to aid them in the choice of a vocation later in life, to give them certain necessary training in the use of the hands and muscles and pos- sibly te give them a hobby or an avocation for use in later life. “It would seem to me that it is a type of false egonomy by the community to curtail its addition- al activities, to cast out the mu- sic, the art, the vocational training. health and physical education, and leave only the bare essentials of arithmetic, English, history and other traditional subjects. The community is training its future citizens and its future leaders in the schools of today. Must Be Continuous “It cannot omit part of the training and then return in three years or five years,. pick up where it left off, and ¢ontinue the training of its future citize! Childhood cannot . wait, er it must hurry on te manhood and womanhood and to its rightful place in the community. The mon- ey saved by the commugity by present economy in schoel affairs is saved at the expense of the community itself in future years. The loss, of course, is r_: felt im- mediately, but in the course of ime it begins to show up in the type of leaders and citizens that; lead the life of the community. “In conclusion I wish to’ em- phasize and te leave with you two thoughts: The first is that adults can learn and can learn very well. In fact, they can learn great deal better tha the children so much so that they cannot give that as an excuse for not learning. As long as interest ex- ists, the power to learn is present. “The second thought that I wish to leave with you is that your children and the other children in the community need @nd have a right to demiand a full and com- plete education. They have a ight to an education that will aid them in establishing a vocation ‘and that will give them a hobby with which to occupy their leisure time, They have a right t demand an education that will not only make them good citizens and neighbors as well, In short, they have & vight to an education with all the so-called ‘frilis’.” or Barber's Mek.
