During the late 'war Queen's was practically deserted as all of her phy- sically fit students volunteered for | | military service, and many of the pro- | | tessors Joined the colors with them. | Indeed, whole units of engineers, ar- | | | | tillery batteries and army medical | j corps were formed, and the impulse | that seized the students could not | {have been greater or more effective | had military training been a part of | the curriculum. In this connection it | is interesting to recall a strong pro- | test against militarism some years | | before the war when Major Leonard, | {a tormer graduate, offered $200,000 | to Queen's for the erection of dormi- | tory buildings upon condition that | military training be given to all stu- | dents who volunteered for jt. There, Was to be no compulsion in the mat- | ter, but strong protest was registered {by some professors and, while a large | 'tract of vacant land adjacent to the | university grounds was actually | bought by Major Leonard . for the | buildings, thd gift wis rejected. Since | the war, however, an officers' train- ing course has been adopted, but it is | not as efficient as it would have been | under Major Leonard's scheme which would have produced beneficial re | sults in the way of physical develop- ment.

A Soft Answer May Save Wallop Walt Mason | THE POET PHILOSOPHER A Hard OURBEST. If every man would do his best, whate'er his task may be, existence would be trebly blessed, this world a sight to see. Most all the troubles that we know would quickly fade away, and if you wishell a slice of woe you'd have to, hunt all day. No bums would fill the prison cells or in the alleys rest, for all men would be wearing bells if each one did his best. The toiler would not cuss the plute, nor would the plute respond, | but" for each other they would root, | with friendship as a bond. The thieves would quit their vain careers which get them in the hole, and, put in their repentant years restoring what they stole. And all the sinful tricks of trade would travel galley! west--there'd be no tar in rma- | lade, if each man did his best! This life would be a grand sweet song, a joyride in a car; our duds would lat us twice as long, our grub gO twice as far; there'd be no business | tor the cops, the sleuths would be undone; the poorest man could buy his hops and raisins by the ton. We do not toil with proper zest to earn our weekly pay; we do not strive tog do our best, but watch the clock all day; we're all afraid we'll do too much, as. we our hammers swing, and so we've got the world in Dutch, and balled up everything. --WALT MASON. What Me Did at Night. A motorist touring in the west managed to get his ear stuck in a ten- aclous mudhole, Aftér he made vain attempts to escape, a boy appeared with a team. Haul you, ; mister?" "How much do you want?" 'Two, dollars." After a long and fuitless argument the motorist agreed to pay the amount asked and the car was pulled to dry land. After handing the money to ths lad, the motorist asked: "Do you haul many cars cut in a day?" "I've pulled . out "12 to- day." "Do you work at night, too?" "Yes; at night I haul water for the mudhole." Hebrides Islands. The Hebrides islands gxceed 500 in number, of which only onefifth axe inhabited.
