After all Iternhardt's way for keep

Is agreed by all that forgetting to wor

ing old age at liny. But the crux of the

It Is truo that there can be no harm
less hazing. The tendency, however, is
.almost Invariably away from harmless
aess. Emulation runs high between
classes, societies aud schools. Ever the
endeavor to accomplish some more
trlklng play upon the nerves or the cn
duranco of victims. This Is why even
with hazing at Its lowest ebb in the
general run of schools there Is yet the
occasional casualty to sport. A favorite
military plea for rough hazing Is that
It helps make men manly and self-reliant.
This la the plea of tho absurd. The
practlco of brutality destroys real man

Doesn't It seem strango that tho
Carnegie hero fund commission Is
compelled to report a scarcity of he
roes? Tho world Is full of heroes.
Each mau Is n hero to somebody. At
the second annual meeting recently
held the commission has found only
one person worthy of nn award. Out
of 70t assorted casea of courageous
conduct submitted to It up to date, It
has approved only 19. Maybe Oiero
Is something wrong In tho commis
sion's definition of a hero. Theoreti
cally, tho commission in estimating
any given caso has only to weigh Uio
rcallfy and gravity of Uio risks and
the extent to which ono has deliberate
ly Incurred them for the benellt of an
other. Hut In practice tho question is
infinitely complicated. Tho same risk
will not look equnlly menacing to two
persons, nor to tho same person on
different occasions. Kor Instance,
what would bo truly heroic In a poor
swimmer might he conimonplaco In a
good one. What would bo divinely
courageous In one unaccustomed to lire
nnd filled with terror by It might bo
everyday routine with a fireman.
Again, tho heroism required to face
danger varies, for tho Impelling mo
tive sacrificing courage, and In an
other mere Impulse or excitement.
There Is nothing quite so hard to an
alyze and mensuro as courage. Much
that passes for bravery Is sheer In
sensibility and failure to take In tho
situation. Rlbot, tho groat psycholo
gist, says that "a complete idiot shows
no sign of fear. "Vools rush In whoro
angels fear to trend." Real courage
Is not fearless at all It Is keenly ap
prehensive. Kcar Is nn essential ele
ment of true bravery. The real hero
Is tho man who Is strong enough to
march Into danger whllo fully seeing
It and even fearing It. llo who turns
white and trembles and would Uko to
run away, yet clinches his teeth and
goes forward Into tho danger, has tho
genuine stuff of heroism and he Is
rare. Tho commission's work Is serv
ing a. useful purpose In keeping tho
Ideal of heroic conduct before tho pub
lie, even though It must conllno Itself
to rewnrdlng only Uio moro obvious
and spectacular feals of courage
These are nduilrahle, though some of
the examples of heroism rovenled In
the humdrum lives of courageous men
and women living bravely from dny
to day in fear of poverty, of sickness,
of calumny, nro more ndmlrable still.
Of these the commission, unfortunate
ly, can tnko no cognlznnco. Hero re
ward Is healthy. It stimulates tho
young to deeds of courage, stirs tho
old to unselfish efforts, nnd gives tho
musses models of mankind that tend
to lift humanity above tlio common
place mennnesjN of ordlnnry life.
