After point- ing out that there are to-day at least forty callings which require high-school education as preliminary training, and that Europeans, ‘i with the experience or tradition of stagnation and repression in older countries, are eager to take the utmost advantage of our free echools, the Doctor concludes: “If the American high-echool boy continues to waste his time upon fraternity functions, social pleasures and stu- Gent activities which aim merely at gratification of self, while foreign boys study with unprecedented zeal at school and in the evenings at home, the outcome will be that ten or twenty years hence the foreign born boys or boys born of foreign parente will fill the places that might be occupied by boys of American descent.” As to foreign boys studying harder, the Doctor is right. Records of industry and scholarship even in our higher universities go far to ve it. ." But why not? The American boy starts with certain advantages ef language, femiliarity with his surroundings, helpful connections, the'sense of being at home. The foreign boy bee all or most of this to win for himself. He feels it, end, immensely to his credit, he works hard, until in a few years he hes cut down all handicaps. If the pressure af his competition can force the American born boy to take greater paine with himself, so much the better. But the chances are that when the foreign boy hae made his distance he will be as * geady for “social pleasures” and “fraternity functions” as any one else. The result should be a lift of standard for ‘beth the American and the foreign boy. ‘The former will be stirred to work harder. The latter will learn to make time for the “social activities” which, after all, are ® by no means useless part of getting ready to live and work in the world. Both will meet and join hands on « common plane more ample than either knew betore—e plane more genuinely end lastingly American. - pe emcees WEALTH MORE THAN GOLD. Gers tsa er ttre fel re pring tend ne: More railroads and more native fuel are pressing needs, ac- cording to the annual report of Gov. Walter E. Clerk to the Interior Department. “The commerce of the Territory last year was the largest in its Listory, totalling $68,000,000. Thirty-eight million dollers’ worth of products were to the United States, including $17,200,000 worth of gold. It is interesting to note, however, that the output of ‘ gold was not the biggest on record, while fish exports showed marked increases. | Highteen thousand people were engaged in the fishing in- @uetry. ‘The 14,800 employed in the ealmon canneries represent an | increase ‘of 19 per cent. over 1911.

Gold is a famous introducer, » peerless press agont. | But the gold of California soon epread into the roote of its vines and erchards. The riches of Alaska are now found to include the darting gold in ite rivers. Precious metals in mines are good in their way. Productive fields and waters, however, are etill the best guerantecs of long life and prosperity. + GLOOM IN VIENNA. N THE MIDST of its happy and prosperous holiday season this country may well turn @ thoughtful and pitying eye upon a nation whose Christmastide is darkened and blighted, though only the outermost edge of the Great Shadow has toughed it. Vienna is having the saddest Christmas in the memory of mon now Jiving. Almost every household is thinking of eome absent tember called to military duty and a dreary Christmas in the snow- ewept wastes of the lower Danube. Panics and forced sales have followed one another in endless succession. There is no money. People are hoarding gold in old stockings. The theatres ere half empty. Music halls are bankrupt. Twenty-five thousand workmen | -and work girls have lost good jobs. The receipts of a great millinery establishment for what is usually one of the busiest weeks of the eason amounted to $290, as inst $19,000 for the corresponding week last year. As the correspondent of a London newspeper puts it; “Nineteen hundred and twelve will go down in history as the worst year for trede experienced in the memory of the oldest subject of the aged Emperor Francis Joseph.” Such Is Life! 3% FRIEND oF JOHN, A LADY MINE 1S Comin For DINNER 7 , A SCHOO CHUM oF MINE (3 COMIN For DINNER | HAVE INVITED NoBoby FoR | What Lazin RS.
