i .. . , -T -fr' ,.r, gf T HIS number of the ,Sickle will be known as the 'VVar Sickle and it has been the unceafsing aim of the Board to make it worthy of the name. Sickle this year is different, not merely changed. Many new departments have been introduced and all the old ones have been changediindfreorganized. The drawings this year are better than ever before' andmthey are of a patriotic nature. The high price of materials have made Calmostj a difficult matter to publish this number and only most stupendous efforts on the part of the Board and Mr. Finch have made it possible at all. For this reason we have had to make a slight ad- vance in the price. But we believe that the increase in the price is more than justified by the excellence of the matter contained. HEN war was declared in 1914, the roar of the first gun sounded the funeral knell of a past and defunct age, and ushered in a new one of untold growth and opportunity. The old ways of doing business have gone forever. Inefficient and antiquated methods will no longer be tolerated. The time when people would not, or could not see that careless methods were costing thousands of lives and millions of money, that otherwise could have been saved is past. Nothing short of a terrible calamity will jar some people out of their lethargy. Terrible as this war is it has saved the world and civilization. The world was slowly sinking under the dead weight of a corrupt civiliza- tion, a civilization like that of Rome, sound to the eye but diseased at the heart. In the new age which is to follow, only the littest can hope to survive the intense struggle for commercial supremacy which is bound to come. Everywhere there are positions of great importance left by men who will never return and these must be filled. Untold chances and opportunities are being opened in foreign countries. After this war American capital will flow into Russia, China and South America to develop the hidden and exhaustless'resourceiof Hioie countries. TNever before and nex7er'again' will there be such an opportunity for the man who is ready to take it. Seize every opportunity you have to gain a well balanced knowledge. Use every minute of your spare time in learning about these countries instead of wasting the golden hours of the present. Learn Spanish, Russian or Chinese so that you will be ready to take the lead when the time comes. Be the man who knows, who is able to command. Do not be content with your present conditions but reach for a higher and better education so that you will not have to miss this splendid chance thru lack of preparation. Your country demands this of you. It is your patriotic duty to further the just interests of your native land and there is no way by which you can help her better than by preparing yourself to hold a commanding position that will enable you to successfully direct her commercial interests. H ERBERT HOVVELL, Editor-in-Chief.
