Remember that problem In the lit
the Red schoolhouse! Remember that
problem that the teacher with the
lemon meringue curls, coy dimples
and perforated grin, studied youthful
ness and bust o” Venus de Milo—on
her desk—remember that problem she
used to hand you!
"If A can do the vanishing act with
a keg of hops in one hour forty min
utes, the temperature below freezing,
how long would it take B and C—
each an Alderman of a City Ward—
and with the assistance of A, to turn
the trick if the temperature is one
hundred and twenty-six in the shade?”
And you would callouse your cabeza,
screw up your freckled features and
counterfeit a pickled herring, sub-soil
your roof garden in a vain endeavor
to induce radio-activity into your hi
Dernauiift oainu-Dcnuiu, yiu«uoij
carve your eye-teeth into the Faber,
wipe your chin and blow your B-flat
horn a couple of times with clarion
shrillness and then try to look all
wise.
But you have received your sheep
skin from the, college of Hard Knocks
since then. You are truly all-wise!
You know the solution to that prob
lem. You know that three men work
ing in a harmonious whole, with right
intent and actuated by a single mo
tive; all imbibed or rather imbued
with the same spirit; with but one
ambition—and that to do a thorough
job—you know that they can accom
plish the object to be achieved with
less consumption of time and energy
than one lone tank could—just one—
and struggling against almost insur
mountable obstacles!
Co-operation! Getting together. Re
sults.
Fraternal organizations today are
monumental examples of the spirit of
the hive. -
They are the embodiments of Mu
tual Help and Co-operation.
They have developed It to an alti
tudinous level and to a far greater de
gree of perfection than any other man
made deluxe and bound-in-goat-skin
volume of co-operation enterprise in
these terrestrial hereabouts—or els
where.
They are, by far, the largest of their
kind. And their scope is limitless.
All men are brothers—if they be
long to the same lodge. Otherwise,
they are somebody else’s brothers. So
what’s the diff, Terese, they are bro
thers all *he same!
Give the fraternal societies free
swing, a little more time and more ad
vertising, and then ’rause mit the
Hague Tribunal.
We don’t need it any more and will
relegate it back among the rest of the
spiritual mediums, last year’s models,
sheath gowns, rubber hose, Bull
Moosers, horses, anarchists, muskets,
milkmaids, Woman’s Hompinions, sti
mulants, sidewhiskers, drugs, seda
tives, straps in street cars, English
Cut Plugs, pips, pills, and pendici
dus—and the other o' the Fifty-seven ■
Trite Ones.
There won’t be war, Terese, there
couldn’t!
Too many would die as martyrs of
elongated tie-racks—for aiding and
abetting the enemy.
THE CLASS IS NOW DISMISSED.
YOU ARE INVITED TO STAY FOR
THE TANGO.
Brothers from strand, stream and
steppe, brothers from mountain, mine
and mere; from dale, depths and de
sert; brothers of every creed, cast and
clime know each other on sight.
They are bound by lasting ties—
weather-proof and * Insoluble. There
is an indefinable something between
them—they understand!
They are working toward the ulti
mate goal—fraternal happiness—con
stantly, incessantly. And they are
enjoying the journey.
The happy man is not the one
who has attained his ideal, but the
one who, all through life, sees it
ever before him. It Js the journey!
Come, mosey along with the Moose.
Every man reaps the fru*t of a
million efforts. Singly he starves.
Communism, self-in-the-abeyance,
co-operation, have developed a new
specie of genus homo.
The fraternity man is an individual
of many attainments.
He is the man who breathes deeply,
carries his sky-piece high—and has a
sense of humor. He smiles now as
utf leaus mis.
He never violates the Eleventh
Commandment, which is, “Don’t take
yourself too dam serious.”
He loves his enemies who are
merely friends who misunderstand
him. He loves his work, laughs long
and hearty and has the health habit.
He relaxes with the Bunch—but
not too long for he knows that rest
is rust. He attends a 1 meetings.
He gives much, and much he re
ceives.
He lives! He has learned to ap
preciate the moods of others. He
enjoys everything. Beauty in Na
ture, all forms of art and music
facinate him.
He prospers.
So mosey along with the Moose:
Rgttle your horns! Switch your tail.
For there are no flies on a good
Moose. And gamble on the green.
HI, THERE, KEEP AWAY FROM
THAT BUCK. WHAT DO YOU
KNOW ABOUT BUTTER.
“Get the Password, Get the Rap,”
“Join the Moose and Be a Pap.”

WISCONSIN PLANS
MAIN INSTRUCTION
MADISON, Wis.. Aug. 26.—To de
termine the relative effectiveness of
correspondence methods of instruc
tion as compared with residence study
the state board of public affairs is
conducting a survey of education by
correspondence as conducted by the
State University of Wisconsin. The
correspondence work of the university
has grown to be one of the largest
activities of the institution. Reports
show that during the past school year
6,313 students took correspondence
courses from the university. These
courses are disseminated from six
different centers, making it possible
to gather the correspondence of cer
tain localities into classes and bring
them into touch with the instructor.
If a student is too far removed from
these centers to take advantage of
the class lessons, he does the work
assigned, sending it to the university
where the instructor in charge makes
suggestions and returns the copy. It
is the object of the present inquiry
to determine what are the inherent
advantages of the correspondence
method of instruction, and whether.
the students taking the correspond-'
.ence courses are as serious in their
work as resident students. It will al
, so be determined whether the abil
ity of the instructoi to judge by cor
respondence whether the students is
fitted for the line of study which he
is pursuing is unhampered. A long
list of questions to be answered by
the instructors has been prepared by
the board, delving into every phase
of the correspondence work.
