Furthermore, knowing what the world is, he can make his college education infinitely more valuable by correlating it to the things he has learned about the workaday world. % College education is worth a lot to every young man—there wouldn’t be so many men in colJeges if it wasn’t. But this charge of giving students a false, impractical view of what real life is, has been held against higher education for a long time and, too, not without reason. But, through this simple | plan, the reason forthis complaint against colleges | becomes null and void. “ How about it, you college men who have made Isn’t it the truth?

Y. It is a searchlight with the bril- liance of 1,000,000,000 lighted candles. Sperry stands out above all the billions of men who peopled the earth before him, as a destroyer | of mankind’s greatest enemy—darkness. Trace the development of artificial illumination | and you have the history of the human race. | The cave man’s greatest discovery, his great-| est legacy to the future, was the introduction of fire as the dispeller of dark night. It was a momentous date in human annals when Alfred the Great put a horn shield around a} candle, thereby creating the lantern (lant-horn). | Alfred’s simple innovation meant more for genuine | progress than a dozen wars. Inventing a process by which a light could be}; made to glow in a vacuum required a thousand} more years. Moses Farmer of Newport was the first man to have an electric lighting system in his] Jail. house in this country? That was in 1850. He had 42 incandescent} lamps. Folks traveled miles to see it. Today it wouldn’t make even a good tobacco advertising sign. Manufacturing plants equipped with scientific systems of illumination have 10 per cent greater production, 25 per cent better workmanship, 25) per cent less spoilage and 25 per cent fewer acci- dents. The American public yearly purchases 165,- 000,000 large-size incandescent electric light bulbs and their efficiency is such that three times as much light is given, per dollar, as 10 years ago, It is a far cry from the old days in Franca when there was a tax on windows. Scientists say that eventually we will have canned sunlight. Imagine opening a one-pound can of sunlight and placing it on the table to evaporate and dispel darkness. A pound of light is possible, for light has weight. The light waves from the sun con- stantly exert on the earth ‘a pressure of 70,000 tons. Sperry’s billion-candle-power searchlight ap- peals to the imagination because man’s greatest enemy is darkness. Nor is darkness limited to sensations conveyed to the brain through the optical nerves. All ig- norance, all injustice, is a form of darkness. In that sense the pfinting press is the greatest light in history. It shines forth on the roads of eternity as the people march forward through the ages out of the darkness into the light. GIVING COLLEGE EDUCATION A CHANCE When a young man goes to college it is, of course, with the idea of getting something out of his higher education that will help him make a success of his career. But, all too seldom does a college man get his real start in life without a distressing period after his graduation during which he is apt to find that college men are something of a drug on the market and that it is pretty hard to land any sort of a job at all when he lacks all business experience and has only am academic education. During this period he is pretty apt to become discouraged and disheartened and to become decidedly “down” on colleges. While college men cannot be blamed for’ this attitude toward the higher educational institutions it is not really the colleges that are to blame for his sort of hiatus in the lives of the men before! they get going. This hiatus is due to the fact that from the secluded, rather impractical, atmosphere of college life the graduates are pushed oiit into the cold, cold world,without knowing what they are going td be up against. A period of readjust- ment is inevitable. They have to get firmly placed on the solid earth. They’ve got to learn to find their way around the world without professors or companions to point the way. |his own business. Perhaps. But also the business Lodge exclaims hotly that his intentions are of one hundred million people in America and se eral hundred million outside America. a ee We twit the English about loving a lord, and brag of our democracy, but our own social leaders throw a duck fit when a titled nothing appears in the offing. LOO WITH THE EDITORS -——— = THE HUN IN PETTICOATS One of the recently chosen official county seat papers, the Farmers’ Leader at Bowman, has de- voted much space of late to the case of Kate O’Hare who was convicted in December, 1917, at Bismarck on a charge of seditious utterances in a, speech delivered at Bowman that year. The sen- tence against her was upheld by the supreme court of the United States and Mrs. O’Hare has already served several months of a five years sentence in She writes that she is having “most inter- esting and illuminating experiences” and has “Jearned that prison cells can teach greater and more useful lessons than college class rooms.” This is probably not intended to reflect upon her old instructor, Walter Thomas Mills, to whom she publicly acknowledged that she “owed all that I am.” The Leader in a double-column box harangue agonizes over the futile appeal of the four mother- hungry O’Hare children, “whose only guiding in- fluence now is the memory of that mother, now closed behind the steel bars of a prison sweat- shop.” What the young O’Hares did for guiding in- fluence while Mrs. O’Hare went about the country likening other mothers to brood sows is not ex- plained in the ranting Leader’s columns. Perhaps the children may now adopt Emma Goldman as a guiding star. In a recent beautiful home letter Mrs. Kate, according to the current issue of the Leader, characterizes the Goldman firebrand as “the tender, cosmic mother; the wise understand- ing woman ; the faithful sister, the loyal comrade.” To be sure Emma is an avowed anarchist, while Kate is a socialist, she states, yet they are a pair of loyal comrades! What if the little O’Hares do miss such influence in the home for awhile and depend on just good American schools for some of their early training. “We want no flag, no dirty rag, etc,” was recited as an appropriate opening for a Goldman meeting in Washington, D.C., since Wilson entered the White House. While the martyred Kate’s children may be temporarily deprived of such literary gems while the “cosmic mother and the gentle O’Hare comrade are jn jail, there are worse things that might happen to them as well as to a long suffering public.—Slope County News. BOOSTING OUR EXPECTATIONS There is much political publicity being stirred up by frantic efforts to get certain towns jin this state competing for the location of the state owned elevator and flour mills, Bonds running into the millions, are sought to be sold to build these build- ings. The rival feelings of the various cities that are described as logical competitors for the new enterprises are being played upon, in the hope that the towns will buy bonds and thug promote the ap- parent successful socialist movement contemplated in the Nonpartisan league legislation. What any city or town expects from such en- terprises is hard to understand except to under- grain. All the terminal elevators proposed could not possibly contain a fraction of North Dakota grain in ordinary years, To compel millers to come to the state for our hard wheat will require the storage of it to be in the localities where raised because no “terminal elevators” at a few points could hold it all. ; The grinding of all North Dakota wheat into flour would be a fine industry, but any mill oper- ated by a city or state will have to compete in the cost of its product with other old established mills This hiatus can, however, be eliminated to a large extent by a very simple procedure. Let the college man devote five years instead of four to his higher education and let him use this extra year in bucking up against life out of college. Let him sling hash, dig ditches or otherwise work for a living before entering college or for a year dur- ing his course of education and then, when he|0f taxation or other, State owned industries gen- hig HaLjadhe word sralbecburaey' that way,—Jart@wn Alert, ~” elsewhere.
