Of one of the largest Univeraities in the British-speaking world recently "In some respects there is opportunity for better work in Correspondence Study than in ordinary class. Each student in a Correspondence School has to study in writing all lessons, whilst in many class rooms he recites on only about one-thirtieth of the study." Just so: and this is one reason why, on SEVENTEEN occasions, has the coveted First in Order of Merit in all New Zealand in the Bookkeeping and Accountancy Exams, been won by a student prepared by us. This is why 2,678 have passed the various Accountancy and Bookkeeping Exams, under our instruction. May we send you particulars of our Course in PRACTICALMODERN ACCOUNTANCY or in BOOKKEEPING?

Rooms, 123 High street (opposite D.1.C.). "A LITTLE CHILD SHALL LEAD THEM" An Old-World proverb—as teual, ihe quintessence of folk-wisdom—-says that children and dogs are groit judges of character. Conversely it has been said that the truly good love children and animals. Pictures and stories born of tho Great War are ever relating- how true both statements are. This touching- story about a baby 13 told in ' Trench and Camp ' Ihe troop-train was standing in a certain station awaiting orders. The boys, as they always do at sivh times, were leaning out of the car windows, cheering, singing, chatting with little groups of bystanders" who had flopped in at the station to bid the Sammies " Godspeed," and having a blithe. i and happy time generally. I Tho "Y" man was walking up _pnd down 1 Ihe platform, keeping eyes and ears open to I a]] that was going on, alert to render any man any service that might be within hi's power. Suddenly be noticed a great, tall, Lincoln-like fellow endeavoring to attract the attention of a young mother who was standing, babe in arms, close to the wall of the station some hundred feot away. The I secretary sauntered up to the soldier and asked him wh.it he wanted. "I wint to talk to that woman over there with the baby," came the reply. The "Y" man glanced hastily at the soldier's face, was satisfied by the expression, and went to. the young mother to ask her if she would grant the lad's request. She gladly did so, and this " Lady, I have a little baby about the a?i2 of yours; 1 wanted so much to get home and see him once more, but I couldn't; would you/ mind my taking yours and kissing it? Life over there I imagine may be pretty tempting, and, as a father, I want to go across with a baby's kiss on my lips." The mother lifted up her child to the soldier, who placed its wee arms about his neck, ,folded it in his great, muscular arms, ,-.nd,amid tho din and gaiety of tho soldirrs on the train «nd the citizens on the platform, be kissed it with the tenderness of a strong, true man. After he had given the babv back io its mother she iheu took the soldier's fare between her hands, kissed him on the forehead, and said: " God bless youy my baby's father is over there."
