TRA IN ING TO B E A KING N article appeared in the newspapers some months ago de scribing the school which Prince Charles, heir apparent to the throne o f England, is attending. The school is located about 150 miles northeast o f Melbourne, Australia. Prince Charles is one o f 130 boys, fifteen years o f age and older, who go through a rath er rigorous physical training program along with their scholastic work. In the newspaper article, telling o f his forthcoming school ing in Australia, it was stated: "He will be expected to swing an ax with the authority o f a lumberjack, run six miles up and down a mountain side with no strain, and pass his scholastic examina tions. He will rise at 7:20 A.M., take a cold shower, make his own bed before breakfast.

Nowadays, axes are found only in museums as relics o f a bygone era. It is most unfortunate that the term "wood pile” is completely out o f date and very few youngsters have any idea what it refers to. O f course, the wood pile was always found out in the woodshed. And there was always a corner o f the woodshed where the ax and the chopping block were located. Too, there was always room enough in the woodshed for a wise parent to take his recalcitrant son there to impress upon him, in no uncertain terms, the facts o f authority and obedience. It is interesting indeed to note that during the era o f the woodshed, if these most signifi-
