"But it is not the same color as the grass!" He turned to them reproachfully. "You said that this was green," he exclaimed, holding out the blades of grass to them, "and now you say that that is green!" He pointed to the pinetree. "You are deceiving me," he said bitterly. "I am a blind man and have never seen before. You are mocking

me!"

Said they: "The grass and the pine-tree are both green. There are varieties of green. There is light green and dark green, the green of grass and the green of the pine-tree; there is green that is almost yellow, and green like blue and green like black. There is the green of holly leaves and ivy, and the green of corn and wheat. There is the green of young leaves in spring and the green of old leaves in autumn. There is not one green, but many kinds of green."

"And are all things like that?" he asked.

"All things are like that," they replied. "Then, indeed, it were better for me that I had remained blind. How shall I find my way through the world, when I must stop to learn all these things about one thing? When I have learned green I must learn blue, and when I have learned blue I must learn red. When I know the pine-tree I must learn to know the oak and the ash and the willow. am too old to learn all these things. do not want my sight. I wish to be blind again. I was happy when I was blind. I could move about without fear. My stick tapping on the ground enabled me to find my way. I am not happy without my stick.""

They left the blind man, and told him he must learn to walk by himself. besought them not to leave him, and moaned piteously when they said they must go. "We have much to do," they said. "You must learn to stand by yourself, so that you may come and help us." "I shall never be able to help," he said. "I shall never cease to be afraid."

When they had gone he sat down on the ground, and was filled with despair. The clouds passing swiftly over his head caused him to tremble lest they should fall out of the sky and overwhelm him in disaster. He sat for a long time, looking about him, and then said to himself, "I will try to walk." He raised himself slowly and fearfully from the ground and stood up. He became dizzy and swayed a little. "I shall fall down," he said to himself. But tho he swayed a little and his legs rocked, he did not fall. moved, and then, his voice being tremulous, said, "I can walk a step, I can walk!" He moved quickly, and fell. "I knew," he said ruefully and he rubbed himself where he had been bruised. "I knew that I should fall!" And he declared that he would walk no more. But after

a while he said he would try again, and he walked a long way until he came to the end of the field where a hedge was. "I can walk!" he said joyfully. "I can walk! I can walk!" He turned to walk back again, and when he had gone part of the way, he said, "I will run!" And he ran, but so quickly that he could not stop, and he collided with the hedge, and was torn by the thorns. "I will walk," he said, "but I will not run."

After he had walked and had run and had leaped, and could go about the earth like other men, he came to the town and walked through the street in which his sight had come to him. And he was not afraid. He walked easily. "It is almost," he said, "as if I were blind again!"

CURRENT OPINION

A School on a Farm

where boys learn by doing. Actual contact-under competent instruction-with the tilling of the soil, growing and harvesting of crops on a

670 acre farm. Put the whole boy to work where he will get the "how" as well as the "why." Shops, work with tools and animals, deep woods, a beautiful lake, tramps, boating, bathing, sports, right associates, with an exceptional school and camp equipment-just the thing the city boy most needs-vigorous, healthful out-of-door-life in the sunshine. Substantial buildings, beautiful grounds. No other school like it. The Summer Camp Session opens June 22nd. Get catalog and particulars from THE INTERLAKEN SCHOOL, EDWARD A.

Anyone Can Have an Indomitable Will It has long been known that the Will can be trained into wonderful power-like memory, or like any one of the senses-by intelligent exercise and use. The trouble with almost everyone is that they do not use their wills. They carry out other people's wills, or drift along with circumstances. If you held your arm in a sling for two years, the muscles would become powerless to lift a feather. That is exactly what happens, in most people, to the faculty we call "will-power.' Because we never use the Will, we finally become unable to use it. We degenerate into beings a little more than slaves-unhappy, discontented, envious, hoping blindly that 'some day"-without any effort-we will attain what we most want in life. "Power of Will," by Frank Channing Haddock, Ph.D., M. S., is a scientific course in Will-Training which has helped over 50,000 people. This great work provides a thorough course in Will-Training, consisting of 28 lessons. It reveals the secrets as to how great men train their wills into wonderful power.

For Master-Men

Master-Men like Judge Ben B. Lindsey; Supreme Court Justice Parker; Wu Ting Fang, ex-U. S. Chinese Ambassador; Lieutenant-Governor McKelvie of Nebraska; General Manager Christeson of Wells-Fargo Express Co.; Asst. PostmasterGeneral Britt; Ernest Knaebel, Ass't.-Att'y Gen'l of the U. S.; E. St. Elmo Lewis, now Vice-President Art Metal Const. Co.-and literally thousands of other men of action and ambition like themread, use and praise "Power of Will."

Its readers talk of it as of a Bible. It has made decisive men of action out of the most miserable 'down-and-outs.' It has cured victims of drink and other vices. It has made big men bigger by showing them how to use their brains better. It is a goad to old and young alike. It has re-awakened ambition in men and women who have been turned from their life purposes, and shown its students how to carry forward their ambitions to consummation.

Is YOUR Will Dormant?

Look back upon your life. Once upon a time, no doubt, you weaved great dreams of what you were going to make of yourself. Are they accomplished now? Why are they not accomplished ? Is it not because you lacked a strong. powerful, dominating, inflexible WILL? You allowed others to control and influence you to their ends, instead of controlling others yourself. You let insignificant daily incidents everlastingly turn you from your purpose. Gradually-like so many of us-you allowed this God-given faculty of will to become scotched and DORMANT in you. Dr. Haddock has a message for you-a real message of emancipation from the blasting human curse of indecision and blind habita message which every man from 20 to GO years old should get.

WORK YOUR WAY

THROUGH COLLEGE!

The big, successful men and women who have done so call on you to follow them. And a like call of encouragement comes to you from the alert, ambitious boys and girls who are now in attendance at their favored universities on the money earned through the

CURRENT OPINION SCHOLARSHIP FUND

Here are two typical cases, two young people who wanted a college education and who didn't rest satisfied with merely wanting. Read their unsolicited expressions of gratitude.

Current Opinion ScholarShip Fund, 134 W. 29th Street, New York City. Gentlemen:-It is almost impossible for me to press my appreciation for your kindness in the past and great service that the CURRENT OPINION Scholarship Fund has rendered me. I owe all my college education to the Scholarship Fund, as I am entirely dependent on this source to pay my expenses. Not only have I profited financially by the plan, but also intellectually. And I consider the training I received far more valuable than any single course given in college. I would advise any student wishing to get a college education to take up work of the CURRENT OPINION Scholarship Fund. I shall be delighted to work for the Fund next summer and I expect to secure a large percentage of renewals.

Current Opinion Scholarship Fund,

134 West 29th Street, New York City.

Gentlemen :-In looking back over the time that I have spent with your Scholarship Fund, in which time I have made my entire expenses in high school and college, I find it to be the most pleasant and by far the most profitable period of my life.

With such a splendid opportunity for paying school expenses, I have no idea of stopping school when I have finished my present course,

but am planning to begin
work next summer to pay
expenses at Chicago Uni-
versity.

To all my friends who
are interested in working
their way through school,
I heartily recommend the
CURRENT OPINION Scholar-
ship Fund as decidedly the
best opportunity.

Very sincerely yours,
