Satient characters have come from small colleges because they were too tough to be hammered into the mould, but many promising characters have been standardized. Unquestionably many weak boys have suffered from the lack of sup- ervision and personal contact in a great university where only special eminence or the fortunate posses- sion of many school friends gives a man a large’ acquaintance. But what father would willingly admit that the boys whom he has brought up are still in need of home train- ing after they have left home, are unable to take their places in the university world on even terms? The small colleges have useful and important work to do—a work which is gaining in value as it is differentiated from the scope of the larger universities, or regarded as preliminary to them. But for a man to say that this function of the small college is final, and that any attempt to go further is dangerous, is a sad commentary on his work as an educator of his sons. eee DR. MEIKLEJOHN AND AMHERST If Dr. Meikeljohn were a less tal- ented man, one would be tempted to set him down as a person who has himself in mind all the time. In spots he reminds us of Woodrow Wilson, possessed of that self-satis- faction observed in many school- masters. In his final speech at Am- herst Dr. Meikeljohn did not dis- cuss the college or its prospects and accomplishments; he talked about himself and to no great purpose. : “ tev ah > AND GET IT SHERIDAN, Wyo., June 30.—Edith ing.

A trip by train or auto? A letter? Or the telephone? You can get your man on the line and talk to him face to face in less time than it takes to pack your bag, and at very little expense. You can get a connection as quickly as you can dictate a letter. You are not limited to a one-way mes- sage—you can ask and answer questions, rin Nitvavitvert4 Aa a.

THE CURIOUS KANSAN A Kansan was recently paroled from the penitentiary on condition that he live with relatives in Cali- fornia. That would not seem a great hardship considering the fact that the World and His Wife are apparently pianning to spend their| declining days in the Golden state. But the curious Kansan didn’t like California; or else he didn’t like the relatives. In any case, he return- ed to Kansas, saying that he would rather live in Kansas, even in jail than live in California free from all restraint. He is now enjoying the | rights and privileges of life in a} Kansas hoosegow. It is unquestionably a queer world in which we live, and as the! mayor remarked who was run out of town three days after his very popular election, “We are a mer- coorial people, Sir.” Most persons would probably rather live in jail in California than to have to spend their life in Kansas. The curious Kansan reverses what might be call- ed majority sentiment in this re- gard. The last United States census re- port indicates that the average ex- pectation of life in Kan: is great- er than in any other state in the Union, and that the Kansas death) rate is among the lowest. This may or may not have influenced the Curious Kansan, who esteems his native state as a sort of cross between Olympus and Parnassus. Perhaps, since he was so fond of Kansas, a long life there would be eppealing. Personally, if we had to live in Kansas, a high rate of mortality and extremely short ex- pectation of life would have more attraction for us. SMALL AND LARGE COLLEGES The eastern father who left direc- tions in his will that his sons should not be sent to any of the larger col- leges, since in his opinion this was] “by no means a safe plan of educa- tion,” may have done the best pos-| sible for his sons. But if he did, it| swas a serious reflection on them, and still more on himself, That small colleges as well as Jarge have their specia? merits, and that there is room in the country for both, nobody will deny. But what is the great service of the! 2? Obviously, the tak hose previous train ing and discipline had been, for one reason or another incomplete, and | 1915: do so.” Then he will be on the wrong side; but some men are so constituted and think so well of themselves that they love to go it alone, believing the world wrong in all ways and themselves always right. The zany that hung the jury said he never met eleven such big fools in all his life. We wish Doctor Mei&eljohn good luck in his next job. “If he will get over the idea of regarding himself as a super- man he will be found to be an un- usually good educator. The retiring president of Amherst was dropped because he, it is said, lacked admin- istrative ability and failed to unite the faculty in one common union. EAT WHEAT Dr. Royal S. Copeland of New York advised the national wheat conference to dispose of the 170,- 000,000 bushel wheat surplus by getting every American, with teeth to eat another slice of bread at each meal. He probably has figured it out, The extra slice might do it. The thing to do is to get a law. The remedy is in a “bill for an act entitled an act to amend tho act regulating the meals of citizens of the United States.” We then should make another pork chop compulsory. Eat another onion, another pineapple, another slice of cool roast beef, another cheese, another cabbage, another corn cake, another clam, another lump of sugar. Uncle Sam will fill out that slim figure of his and look like a beer barrel—no, not a beer barrel. He must not even think of beer.

SHERIDAN, Wyo., June 30.— Willis C. Hirsch, congressionel medal of honor man, is expected to be re- celved as a patient at the United States Veterans’ hospital at Fort Mackenzie within a few days. He will come from Santa Fe, N. M. He will come for treatment of an old injury to his head which he sus- tained when he struck a piece of driftwood while rescuing three per- sons from drowning at the launching of the dreadnaught Tennessee at Newport News, Va., several years ago. A launch overturned, throwing them into the water and Hirsch leaped overboard from his ship to the rescue. Later he was awarded the congressional medal of honor for con- spicuous heroism. Hirsch has served a few months of a sentence of one to two years in the New Mexico state penitentiary for obtaining money under false pre- tense. Saturday his sentence was commuted by Gov. J. F. Hinckle of New Mexico and he was liberated. The injury to his head has given him trouble recently, and he {s there- fore being sent here for treatment. Twister Damaging SHERIDAN, Wyo., June 30—Two construction workmen for the new $27,000 Superior laundry plant being at the corner of Dow and uid, narrowly escaped fatal injury when the 39-mile-an-hour twister hurled the framework for the 90-foot brick smokestack to the ground. The men, fearing damage from the high wind, were on the ground propping the frame when they felt it totter. They at once ran to a place of safety and a half second later the frame crashed. Douglas Bridge Ready DOUGLAS, Wyo., June 30.—The new Platte river bridge just west of town under the direction of the state highway department will be complete just as soon as the lighting equip- ment, which {s now being installed, is ready for use. The crew is now putting on the finishing touches and the approaches will be finished within another week, but the public is al- (ready using the bridge rather than to take a chance on crossing the Piatte over the old structure.
