This is the first test of this nature ever taken by students of college age. If success- ful the experiment will be generally adopted at Smith and other colleges, according to the originator of the ex- amination, Dr. K. Frances Scott, of the department of Hygiene at Smith, chairman of the committes on in- formation of the American ,Student Health Association. The knowledge and good sense of the students was tested on-matters pertaining to"exercise, food, posture, proper clothing, sufficient sleev, nutri- tion, first ald and mental hygiene. Nutrition bodily mechanics and com- municable diseases were emphasized. In responding to each question the students were asked to choose the most logical of three answers suggest ed. Knowledge of bodily mechanics was revealed In a cholce of whether "the ideal weight for any individual is best indicated by the standard tables of average weights, the gurrent fashion in figures or signs of good Bealth and endurance." According to the test, appetite was -either "an In- stinct telling us what we should eat, an uncontrollable desire always to be followed, or a cultivated taste quite controllable." Understanding of mental hygiene was judged by the answer to the statement that "ner- vous breakdowns are caused by ex- cessive study, disappointments or fall- ure to solve one's emotional prob- lems." : In making the experiment the hy- glene department stressed the fact is fully as important as what is known, since it is largely on the former basis that courses in hygiene S------------l ------ Quite a number of people died last year in England as the result of fall- ing out of bed; there were 29 males and 47 females.

Soul of Cities Cities are influenced by climate, site, occupation, employ- ment of materials and thus acquire a degree of personality, emphasized by the character of a dominent style, ! and to a less palpable extent by the sentiment of their inhabitants, says Often in- deed towns are too incoherent to be personified, because like their inhabi- tants they lack countenance and defy scenery, geology, by the style, color, and Lord Crawford of Balcarres, characterization, Towns like people are vapid, neutral, or colorless, jumbles of contradiction but even so they And a town At first we may think fits character is easily defined; but be cautious, There and diversities | which may lead us astray in our as- sessment of man or city; and the city seldom reveals its character to the and aimlessness; may be typical of a race. is a very secretive personage. are contradictions first impression.

The trees bear all the year round, and the fruit is in constant demand. Profits work out at about $1,000 an acre. There has been much publicity given toy "pests," like the prickly pear and the hiackberry, which have laid waste vast areas in the Antipodes, that it is as well to consider the other side of the "picture occasionally. For. the lemon, like the two "nuisances" men- tioned above, is an importation. On balance, the Australasians have benefitted enormously by the experi- ments made in introducing new trees and plants. Oranges, like lemons, have proved a very profitable erop--and apple-growing is one of the great in- dustries "down under." Yet when apple trees were first planted in Aus- tralia most people thought th: venture was simply silly. : MAKING A PEST USEFUL. They changed their minds later on --when the fruit began to appear, and the pioneers reaped the harvest they deserved. The apples grown in West- ern Australia sold for $5 each. Accidental importations may also turn out well, though, naturally, we hear more about those that don't. A case of the first kind was the straw- berry clover, which obtained a footing in Australia in ra her a curious way. A piano had been sent out from Ire- land. It was duly unpacked, and the packing was thrown out. But this packing contained seeds of .he straw- berry :lover. tralian conditi-ns suitable, and the Australians, on their side, found the new arrival useful. So today straw- berry clover is cwltivated in Victoria. Even a plant importation which has been condemned as a pest may be of some value. Prickly pear is cultivaf- ed in Corsica and California, and some experts believe that it may yet prove useful even in Queensland, where its spread has caused great los:es. Already a vegetable alcohol on which cars ean be run has been ob- tained from it, while the leaves yield "tropical rain. mec | Year-Round School Seen in Future New York--That vastly more of childhood will be spent within the four walls of the school of tomorrow is a prediction made on the basis of present trends by the research divl- sion of the U.S. National Education Association. Schooling, in its opinion, will in the future begin earlier and will become also a year-round func- tion. Schools for babies, "co-operating with the home in establishing basic habits and emotional patterns which underlie a happy, useful life," are fore- seen as a permanent and general fea- ture of the educational landscape. Already in the last ten years, it 1s pointed out, nursery schools in the United States have multiplied almost fifty times over. i en mi Baffled Erudition Carolyn Wells, "dean of American detective-story writers," tells why she never had any higher education: "I went to high school in Rahway, New Jersey, and wanted to go to Vassar, until I found out- they had to make their own beds there. Then that was all off. I thought of Wellesley next, but I discovered that they had to make their beds there, too. So I de- cided not to go to college at all." m------r------ "The world becomes too much a slave of the present mode; forgetting that there ever was any other."--Win- ston Churchill.

We know that truthfulness is the foundation of all honorable con- duct. Incidentally, it is ultimately the only condition of real success in busi- ness. So we are careful to be truthful with our little ones, and to keep faith with them whenever we make them a promise, 2 But we need not on that account be terribly upset when we first find out a child in some little variation of the truth. A great deal of unconscious cruelty may be perpetrated if we fail to realize that a child's intelligence is limited, and that fit is incapable of thinking along grown-up lines, al- though it will imitate. Here is a case in point. Molly, aged six, was passionately fond of a Teddy- bear that had shared her joys and sor- rows from babyhood. He was very shabby and had lost one of his eyes, while one ear hung by a thread. Fail ing to understand that hé was the more andeared to his owner by these accidents, an aunt presented Molly with a new and gorgeously colored monkey. Molly, as she had been taught to do, thanked the donor pret- tily; but the moment her aunt's back was turned she put the smart new- comer on the top of a bureau and hug- ged Teddy. l=__Noticing that the new toy never ac- companied the child for a walk, the aunt was told "he was tired, and had to rest," or that "he had a cold." On being asked the straight question, "Don't you like your new monkey?" Molly raised blue eyes in perfect in- nocence and sald, "Oh, yes. He's per- fec'ly lovely . . . but he isn't very well to-day." "An absolute lle, for she hates the thing," sald her mother, worriedly, "gnd I can't decide whether to scold her for being deceitful or not." Most parents will pralse Molly for the delicate way she tried to avoid giving pam, rather than blame her for the deceit. But is a hint to aunts to ascertain a small recipient's wishes before presenting gifts.

And this pure vegetable preparation is just as good as it tastes; just as bland and just as harmless as the recipe reads.

When coated tongue or bad breath tell of constipation, invoke its gentle aid to cleanse and regulate a child's bowels.
