r f^i==- 10 THE CADUCEUS MEDICAL SUPPLY li • i. ! >! ! V. ’Ts happened. Three weeks ago We “Passed the Buck,” and now like the proverbial “Dull Care,” ’tis hack with us. Tom says he don’t mind the little bit of work it entails, but “them icy stares and frost-bitten voices”—well, he renigs, that’s all. Our shoulders are no broader than his’ri, but maybe our method of attack isn’t so red-to-bullifying. We’ll stick it out, the War will soon be over any how. Our stock of. “Air, hot,” has been greatly augmented since “Tar Heel’' Vreeland, formerly among us and now a submarine chaser at Newport News, paid us a visit. Maas has taken It all up on the Returns, but “Rip” vows as how it will have to be recheoked, in asmuch as loads of it has been missed in Inventorying. “Dal” writes from the, Walter Reid Hospital that Tracy Stockard is go ing to contribute some “Moonshine Letters” to the “Come-back.” K. J. didn’t write it to us, and as he owes Us a letter, we’re “sore” and didn’t intend to mention his name at all. Maybe (who knows), he will read this and once more verify the Scriptures— “As ye sow, so shall ye reap.” DEMOCRACY AND EDUCATION Democracy is commonly thought of as a form of government, but primarily, it is not this at all; rather it is a spiritual attitude. “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” The form of government is an outward manifestation of an inward feeling, but the feeling necessarily precedes and conditions the outward form. If people all have the feeling of democracy, a democratic form of government is inevitable. The great task before the homes and the schools, therefore, is to generate this feeling, and now is a most oppor tune time for this important work. People are more neighborly and more kindly disposed toward one another than ever before. The old lines are being broken down and people are coming to think that, in a large way, each one is his brother’s keeper.. We are coming to estimate' people by what they are and what they can do, rather than by what they have, and this is making for a higher plane of sympathy and good will. The teacher does well,therefore, to inquire how she may best use the studies of the school to generate the feeling of democracy, so that when the boys and girls emerge from their school life democracy will be so thoroughly en meshed in their consciousness that it will be as much a part of them as their breathing. Hence no teacher ever needs to apologize for saying that she is teaching democracy by means of history, geography, grammar, ■ P. B. PEARSON, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Columbus, Ohio. We never aim to be offensive. Far be it from us to hurt any one’s feel ings. If the shoe fits you so poorly that it pinches your pet corn, tell us and we’ll catalogue you “among the missing’’ in this column. But, for the love ot Scandal, don’t all ask at once or M. S. D. Notes will have to be de tailed to “where the woodbine twin- eth not.” What an inspiring thing love is. Did you ever see such a close friendship as exists between Mike Manus and Oriole Blackwell? The story tells us that that’s what the “Ethyl Alcohol” column is for. Or, maybe Wagner will come in handy as an arbitrator. “Baseball series scheduled for this week” in Camp Grene. Home papers please copy. Seems as though we’re wintering under Piedmont Skies after all. KINYABEETIT? D. M. B. JUST A JOB. Is it just a job that is yours to hold, A task that offers you so much gold. Just so much work that is yours_ to do. With never a greater goal in view? What do you see at your desk or loom. Or the spot you fill in life’s busy room? Merely a flickering lamp that burns With a sickly light as the mill wheel turns And the same old grind in the same old ways With all the tomorrows like yester days! Is it just a job, just a task to do. So many pieces to build anew? So many figures to add, and then Home for a while and back again? Are you just a clerk in a gaudy shop. Pleased When a customer fails to, stop. Finding no joy in the things you sell. Sullenly waiting the quitting bell? Are your thoughts confined to the narrow space And the dreariness of your present place? Is it just a job, or a golden chance The first grim post of a fine auvance. The starting place on the road which To the better joys and the bigger d06ds Do your thoughts go out to the days to be? NO PULL. By Ord. Seaman Alvin J. Sauer, Co. t), U. S. Coast Guard. Doctor (to complaining rookie)— Why didn’t you come to me sooner if you knew you were sick last night? Rookie—Honest, doctor, I tried sev en times to wake up the bugler to blow “sick call,” but he wouldn’t do it. —From Judge. OBEYED ORDERS A Major M. C. who has seen a yeai and a half active service in the Base Hospital when on a recent leave mak ing a brief visit home was approa,ched by an interlocuter who in semi-con- dolotary tone remarked, “So you nev er went across, did you?” And the Major looking his persecutor straight in the eyes replied, “No, I never was ordered across, and as you know, in the U. S. Army, the first thing we learn is to obey orders!” Gan your eyes look over the drudgery And see in the distance the splendid glow Of the broader life that you, too, may know? What is your view of your circum stance. Is it just a job or a golden chance? —Edgar A. Guest. GET A CoronA J. E. CRAYTON & GO. 217 So.
