You know, of course, how honor comes— How glory lasts, for tribe or man; And not by adding up the sums To cover any golden span; Nor yet by padding out the fat Of bulging waist and burly neck, Nor reaching soft contentment that Must turn all fibre to a wreck. i For honor comes and glory lasts Through Service to the Vital Cause— Through Service—as it boldly casts Its plea beyond ®ll other laws; Through harder training for the test As any man, or nation, should With soul enough to give its best, And give it for the common good. The goal waits—not so far away— | For those who pay the price to win, ‘Who throw thelr souls into the fray And stick, until the score is in;— For those who fear to meet the bill Where service, pain and life are one, The road is open to them still From Nineveh to Babylon. About Training. These genial United States offer their share of queer and quaint shifts, There isn’t a country in the world where its individual athletes go in for harder, better training. Football squads go through hardest possible grind. ‘Baseball camps are pitched from five to six weeks, in advance of a six drive. Training is the watchword of them all. And yvet with the nation at large fat and out of condition and the pos- sibility of vast competitions ahead, the idea of training against the test settles into a joke. A football team or a baseball squad that wasn’t handled any more efficiently than congress handles the nation would be lucky to finish' the season, much less around the top.
