THE RHYMERS COLUMN
OOD'S HANDWRITING
He writes in characters too grand
For our short sight to uiulerstiiad;
"We catch but broken strokes, and try
To fathom all the mystery >•
Of withered hopes, of death, of life,
The endless war, the useless strfife—
But there, with larger, clearer sight,
"We shall see this—
His way was right I
—John Oxenham in "All's Well."
THE MANLY WAY
When the world grows dark about you
And you're feeling mighty "down,"
When the clouds of melancholy
Darkly hover all around,
Oh, how hard it seems to bear it,
Its depression to withstand,
But to smile on proves true courage—
'Tis the symbol of a man.
Oft in gloom we brood so vainly
. But to fill our paths with woe,
But the man who's his own master
Does not find his journey so.
If you frown when troubles gather,
Yours shall be a realm of strife;
But for him who smiles on bravely
Is the fuller, happy life."
—A. A. G.
BARTER
Life has loveliness to sell—

All beautiful and splendid things;
Blue waves whitened on a cljil-,'
Climbing fire that swand sings, '
And children's faceg/fooking up
Holding wondeflike a cup.
Life haa loveliness to sell—
Music like a curve of gold,
' Scent of pine trees in the rain,
Eyes that love you, arms that hold,
And for your spirit's still delight
Holy thoughts that star the night
Spend all you nave for loveliness,
Buy it and never count the cost;
For one white singing hour of peace
Count many a year of strife well lost,
And for a breath of ecstasy
Give all you have been or could be.
—Sara Teasale.

MORE GIRLS THAN BOYS
FOR HIGHER EDUCATION
Austin, Tex., Nov. 5.—Frederick Elby,
professor of the history of education at
the University of Texas, is engaged in a
survey of the high schools of the state
with the purpose of determining to what
extent there is a growing feminization
of these schools. Questionnaires have
been sent to the heads of schools, asking
for data as to the relative number of
boys and girl graoutes, opinions as to
the reason for the preponderance of girl
students where that is the case, an<J in-
formation as to special courses of inter-
est to boys. The replies that have sft
far been received indicate that the ratio
of girl and boy graduates of Texas high
schools is about six to one. As soop as
all reports are in Mr. Elby will make a
study of the question with the view of
endeavoring to find a means of increasing
the attendance of boys in high school.
