...very badly hurt,--and had to stay out of school for a year with a bad foot, and I think that accident made him very patient and very kind and thoughtful of other people. He was really held in affectionate regard by more older people than any boy of his age I know, and of course I swore by him, and he by me. He was closer to me than anybody else, and I loved him as my best friend and brother. And now he has been killed...

I am exceedingly proud of the course which they followed and the cause for which they are fighting. "If I had my way, every young man from 19 to 21 years of age would be put into a training...
...give, in the "Illustrated," a bit of advice that seems sometimes to have helped young men when they face that troublesome problem of choosing a life career. In very condensed form that advice is, to bear in mind that those interests and proclivities which one acquired spontaneously as a boy, outside of the schoolroom, and which one has more or less kept up or more or less neglected during the more exacting years of high-school and college, that those proclivities are still a part of oneself.
