The speaker was Benjamin M. An- derson, economist for the Chase Na- tional Bank of New York, the na- tion’s largest private financial insti- tution. AS an exponent of economic theory he takes high place among his fel- lows. As a practical analyst of busi- ness affairs anid commercial and in- dustrial trends, he takes a leading part in establishing the policies of his bank. Generally speaking, he is neither a new dealer nor an old dealer but an independent thinker. His contacts ‘are wide and his experience long and varied. ‘When he talks of education, there-/ fore, he does so from the viewpoint | ton as opposed to private ownership of ® businessman with a good schol- | and operation. This is fundamental. astic background, and when he stresses the value of theory he does not overlook the need for putting it into practice. In @ recent speech at the annual alumni dinner of the school of busi- mess at Columbia University, Ander- son warned against applying a cash value test to the instruction offered tn colleges, saying: “This demand for ‘practicality’ is self-defeating. I do not mean to question the need for accurate, Getailed knowledge of the job which one is doing. But there are two ways of knowing facts: one may know them by sheer brute force of memory with tre- mendous exertion, or one may know them easily and adequately by seeing them hang together as the illustrations of a body of prin- ciples. The man who knows principles gathers facts easily be- cause facts have meaning for him. He refrains from burdening his memory with facts which have while and which are not. Theory without facts is empty. Facts without theory are blind. “Detailed methods of banking and business shift frequently. New devices and new methods, which make for greater economy and efficiency, are constantly be- ing introduced. The principles the student has mastered in col- Jege and the historical perspec- he has gained there will be use to him throughout his life. detailed practice which a it might learn in college be pretty surely out of te in a few years, if not already out of date.” If one seeks only to learn the de- taijs and practices of a trade or busi- meas, Anderson suggests that the old apprenticeship method of working with a master is, by all standards, the best and most economical, because au of learning. ‘This observation not only points a _psoral to our colleges but it also gives “ encouragement to those who are de- nied @ college education. There is ” more than one way of learning. ‘The boy or girl with a will to learn denied opportunity if he most of whatever facili- to him. Some of the men never saw a col- from the outside. Some &@ plenitude of degrees are practical dunces. Only the man who understands both theory and practice is fully equipped to deal with the problems of a modern world. That Gardening Urge No matter what the weather man ‘per "| pectations. 2.00) °° saving in money, for many families, is important and the general pride and satisfaction which comes to the) Possessor of a good garden are im- measurable, True enough, the bright dreams and superactivity of spring are likely to fade away under the hot suns of June and July, but even so, it is something to have had them. Many so-called “city farmers” con- fess they can buy green goods as cheaply as they raise them and that their garden costs them money. If so, what of it? They have had the fun of dreaming, planning and work- ing andi the incentive to do something in the open air which might other- wise have been lacking. Considered from all angles, a gar- den easily justifies itself, regardless of whether or not it comes up to ex- Open to Question The state industrial commission should be deciding soon what to do about the proposal from Grand Forks to add a flax-crushing unit to the State mill and elevator there. The idea is to invest some $95,000 in such an enterprise, coupled with a feed-mixing plant, and the real back- ground for it is the fact that the power plant at the mill and elevator is capable of producing more elec- tricity than now is consumed there. Grand Forks businessmen, however, in proposing the additional enter- prise, stress that it is for the “bene- fit of the farmers of our state,” in- sisting that flax should be “handled, treated and crushed within the state to make a market here at home and furnish a place for sale of linseed meal here at home.” The benefit to the farmers in the Grand Forks area may be undeniable but it is doubtful if such an enter- prise would benefit agriculture over a wide area. There is, too, the matter of taxes to be considered. Our state industries have not been notably successful and there is no assurance that this one would be. In view of past history the taxpayer cannot be blamed for shud- dering at thought of adding to his burdens. But overshadowing all these argu- ments is that of principle; the ques- | ton of state ownership and opera- It would seem, too, that as soon as | flax-crushing can profitably be done \in North Dakota private capital, now seeking places for profitable invest- ment, could easily be interested. The businessmen at Grand Forks might do themselves and the state a favor by organizing their proposed flax crusher as a private enterprise and showing us what they can do. With such a dry season, the low- er the City Commission can make the lawn rates, the more beautiful the Capital City will grow. | Rditorial Comment Fditoréals printed helow show the trend of thought by other ed They are published without to whether they agree or d with The Tribune's poli This Is the Life and These Are the Lifers (Chicago Tribune) Jottings and notes of social events in the Indiana state penitentiary at Michigan City: Charlie B., the popular two termer, has been seen frequently in Muncie and it's said he goes there for more than his Saturday night hair cut.

Eminent critics praise the singing of the choral society highly. John Dillinger Sundayed in Mercer county, Wis. John is one of our most popular boys.

A floral fund is being raised for Harry Pierpont. The Men's Debating society dis- cussed the question: “Resolved, that no member of this institution visit Tucson, Arz.” The other side upheld the position that the place ought to be visited and given the works.

Address Dr. William Brady, SOUND AND DREAMLESS SLEEP Did you ever have your dream wak- ing? It is a fine pastime and diver- sion studying one's own dream, In order to do the trick you have to practice many nights first, You must deliberately spy on yourself from the moment you finish your belly breath- ing until consciousness drifts into the twilight. What you can snatch in that fleeting moment is all you'll ever know about your own dreamland. Dreaming is physiological. Dream- less sleep does not occur except in grave illness or injury in which there is total loss of consciousness, called coma. If you are disturbed by your dreams or if you recall them vividly on waking, that indicates that your sleep was too shallow, or that some- thing interfered with sound sleep. Many things prevent sound sleep, perhaps most of them trivial or un- necessary. Of the bodily ailments that disturb sleep oddly enough only a minority are diseases or derange- ments of the nervous system; every- day physical ailments are the usual cause of poor sleep. Here is the first lesson for the insomnophobe or for that matter the plain poor sleeper to learn—that sleeplessness is neither @ sign nor @ cause of nervous or men- tal derangement. To be sure, insane Persons are sometimes restless and have wakeful nights; but they often laugh and utter witticisms, too, and we don’t fear that people are losing their mind when they do that. Persons under the age of 30 years seldom get more sleep than is good for them; many of them do not get enough sleep nights for the good of their health, growth and looks.

Work or play or exercise enough at any- thing at all to get pleasantly tired and you'll sleep all right, unless there really is something physically wrong which demands medical care. If you're too danged snooty to pitch in and do some housework or garden work or other helpful chore, then at least get out and hike for an hour every day or every evening. There is something about working or playing out in the air, in the sun- shine or in the rain, wind or snow, that brings the sweetest sleep of all. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Lanolin Can you tell me if lanolin, just the pure plain oil or fat, can be obtained from any drugstore? Now don't tell me to catch a sheep and Squeeze some out of the critter’s wool. WwW. I. KD Answer—Yes, any druggist can sup- ply it. Better ask for hydrous wool fat hydrous lanolin, which consists of seven parts of the pure fat mixed with three parts of water. This is more satisfactory in salves or for application to the skin than the pure lanolin. Pim ples: Boys or girls or even people who are troubled by blackheads, oily or greasy skin and pimples, are invited to write in for the monograph on the subject.

Doctor says I haven't People past 30, especially those who live sedentarily, commonly sleep too much for their own good. Instead of early to bed the elders of the house- hold should be last to retire and first to rise in the morning. Instead of eight hours, middle age should be content with six hours in bed. We must remember that the adage “early to bed and early to rise” was invented in an age when everybody worked more or less, or at least walk- ed to work. Both young and old peo- ple who do honest work, muscular work, or who play or exercise active- ly at anything, should have longer sleep rations for they have miore re- pair work to be done. A great many insomnophobes can snap out of it if they really want to— the trouble is that so many of them cling to their alleged sleeplessness for identically the same reason that s0 many dissemblers cling to their “nerv- ous exhaustion.” It enables them to impose upon their relatives and friends, to get lots of sympathy and easy pardon for their sins, In short insomnia is just another way to spell selfishness in many instances.
