In the battle of Vimy Ridge, nearly all the officers of a certain unit were either killed or disabled. Shortly following the action the question of promotion to fill the gaps was dis- cussed. Among many others one L>oy came up to be questioned as to his ability to fill one of the vacancies, rh,, very first question that was ask- ed was, -'WTiat is your education?" Here on the battle front where the lives "f men and the honor and exist- ence of a country were at stake the very first .juestion asked was, "What is your education?" Times ar-i changing. .\ few years ago some boys did make good witn only a very short period at school. But to-day business competition is so keen that unless a boy has at least a few yeai-s at high school he is handi- •apped in his efforts to make ffood. MTien a boy starts out in life he is generally given a fine, healthy body. \f he does not take care of it and give us niusi-les lots of exercise, it grows >veak and the muscles get flabby and â- iseless. Likewise he is generally sriven a fine healthy brain. If he does not take care of that brain, and give it lots of exercise, it does not develop the way it should.
