It is the time to stop, to think anid. to r ealize the true greatness 'of America's: two greatest'nmca. One is the father of our country, the other is, the preserver of> the union. Exactly opposite in outward appearances, these Men were exact- ly the saine in thoughts and actions when the- life of our country was ,at stake. Washington, the debonair Virginia gentleman, Lincoln, the awkward backwoods rustic; Washington, the briliant military genius, Lincoln, the smnalltown lawyer-these are their differences; their simlarities: both men were scrupulously honèst, -mas- ,er diplQmats and sure judges of mcn,. and both wcre intensely patriotic. A study of American history wilI without a doubt prove the true great- ness of these in. Washington, while beset with every. diffigulty as the commander of the first troops of.the Unted States and when given the task of. $orming and. putting into peration a new government, shoWed bis truc genius. Lincoln given the cqually bard tasks of maintaining the union, ruing a divided country at war when the great mass of its peo- ple was against the war, gave bis lif e that the country might endure. it is impossible to decide which of th, two men. is the greater.. They oûverçamc differentý difficulties under different conditions. Their training as statesmen and as soldiers was in ai edly, but we have noticed very mucb better order at noon, and have heard. no wild shrieks of anguish resulting f rom distress, sincethe new method went into effect. It is. manifestly a success. it is just a shamie that thé. litt1e dears are miade to separate for a few Minutes, but after ail if they are smnart, they can meet at the top.of, the stairs. It is j.ust' a shame* that "husbands and. wives" must be cut off fromft their conversation temapor- arily, but they'cansettie these mat- ters at homne. Anyhow, we. are wholeheartedly satisfied with the ne* systemn. This at leas! eliminates a few visits to the, nurse for adhesive tape, for banged up knlees and bruises. It is therefore an economical move to restore law and order in the community.. Finlaàyson's 4th.

Everyone in this day of sport bas heard of the well kxiown Merriwell finish, anid If those who saw the Proviso-New Trier basketball tilt last Friday didn't know what it was, they certainly ougbt to now.

He sànk a basket aâmost Immediately to tie the score, and hobbled off the floor. Then sweeping like a whirlwind up and down the floor, both teams sènk a, bas- ket.
