= DECIDING WHAT SCHOOL T0 ATTEND An Important Question Which Must Soon Be Answered in Many Homes. PARENTS SHOULD DECIDE Vacation is about half gone. Many students who intend to go on with their education this fall have not yet decided definitely to what school'they will go. So much depends on the decision of this question that it is given much consideration and long study in most families. Parents realize that upon the wise decision of this question the welfare | of their children may depend. It is not merely a question of the “getting through” of the young man Or young woman. that. It affects his or her whole fu- ture well being and whether he or she is to'be a great success or whether failure and dis- couragement is to attend throughout all the years of life in the world. Responsibility on Parent. Responsibility rests upon the parent and it is more than mere financial re- sponsibility. A decision in a financial matter may be wise or unwise and the gnly loss is financial and that is soon orgotten. But a decision in such a question if it be unwise has cumulative results of evil, And, on the other hand, if it be wise it has l equally cumulative results of good and the student goes on from honor to honor and his life Is a success. Naturally and from the nature of the af- falr It is utterly impossible for each parent to visit each and every school separately. If | this were possible even it would not ba pos- | sible to form a concrete Idea of each school's | qualifications as a place of education for any glven prospective student, There are so many separate features of the school that must be taken Into the consideration of the subject in arriving at a wise decislon. No person could form an idea of any one school without remaining in it while it is in active operation for several weeks. Points to Be Consldered. It would be necessary to decide first upon !ts scholastic attainments, upon the thor- oughness and consclentlousness of its teach- ) ing forces, upon the standard, whether it be high or low, that is required of the student. Then the moral tone of the Institution is of highest lmportance. It exerts a subtle in- fluence upon those who attend and who are destined to spend four of the most formative years of their lives in an Institution of L 2o - i learning, years when the moral fiber is in } its most important stage of development, , and when it will form itself with strength J and resisting power to evil if the examples upon . which it models itself are good, and when, on the other hand, it will become ] weak and flabby if it is formed in & weak ] and flabby mold. Educators today agree that more is due to environment than to heredity. Heredity both in diseases of the body and of the mind and soul has but a small part to play. Children of the worst possible an- vestry, taken at an early age, before thelr habits and tastes have been formed and placed in good environment, become our leading men and women. Others of good ancestry, allowed to grow up on the street and as corner loafers, be- ome mere weaklings. Importance of Moral Tone. ‘ So the moral tone of the college to which ne boy and girl are sent Is of an Im- portance second only to the importance of the educatlonal tone. Secondary, did we say? So some would hold. But there {s ample ground for considering it not sec- ondary, but of primary Importance. For, of whal use is a sound education it the moral flber s not strong? Mere book- learning is not of supreme {importance, Neither is the great gain secured from a college education. Some of those who come through with flying colors and highest marks In their studies, but who have neg- lected entirely (he college life, the whole- some mingling with their fellows in classes and in the activities of college life, have degenerated later to mere ciphers and book- worms, not getting out of life anything near what they ought to get and would get If they had developed a sound moral fiber. A third important part of the college to ’a L] be chosen for the pros Ive student s the personal clement, this must be carefully considered by parents, Upon this is founded the argument of the small colleges. Where the student body is small there s, perhaps, more of a endency for the students to get into per- | sonal contact with the teachers. It is| It goes far beyond | may decide | 333 : oy " rae each other better, and the students profit by the personal example of teachers and professors; they imbibe from them their high ideals or life and life's work. What the Professor May Do. ‘Through such contact w! and consci- entious professors can see into the char- acter and tendencles of students. By words and Ideas dropped Into that fallow soul soil they are able to develop a character of strength and to give it a firm founda- tion early in life, so that it has ample opportunity and the best conditions for full and complete development.

PR TP o TRl &2 iR LY.} 7 (! g SPRING-RICE SEES POLK ON BLACKLIST Allies Oite Lincoln’s Action During Civil War as Prece- dent for Their Course. AN INFORMAL DISCUSSION Washington, July 22.—Anticipating protests to the State department from firms and corporations named in the British blacklist, Sir Cecil Spring-Rice had another conference today with Acting Secretary Polk in which the subject was informally discussed. Probably it will be left to the London foreign office to develop the position of the British government officially, but the informal conferences in Wash- Qngt.on.are expected to go far towards clarifying the position of each side and serving to shorten negotiations that may follow. Why Not Communicated. It is said here that the British gov- ernment did not communicate the blacklist to Ambassador Page because the subject was regarded as one purely international in its aspects, the order being directed to British merchants. To have broached the matter officially to Mr. Eagg might have been taken as an admission of the right of other governments to conern themselves in its operations, As in the case of the allied block- |ade, precedents established by the United States during the civil war are coming u% again to be used for justifi- cation. The allies have found that President Lincoln on August 16, 1861, issued a proclamation declaring that “all commercial intercourse between the states in insurrection and citizens of other states through the ports of the United States is unlawful and will remain unlawful until such insurrec- tions shall cease.” The Act of Congress. This was followed by an act of con- gress of May 26, 1862, authorizing the secretary of the treasury to refuse filurance to ships where their cargoes, ‘whatever their ostensible destina- tion,” were intended for points or places in the possession or under the control of insurrectionists against the United States. In the British view in these two acts are found ample warrant for the pres- British government in | ent act of the forbxddxq 1ts own subjects to treat or trade wit| persons regarded as ene- mies of their country. In pursuance of this determination, it is pointed out, the effort has been made to discrim. [N ¢ ( U I 4 " H] |inate in favor of any German firm in | the United States that has been en- | gaged solely in its usual line of busi- |ness, if that has been of a general character. Some of the oldest and largest of the German banking firms in New York consequently do not figure in | the blacklist, even though one of them is known by the British authorities to have purchased the nickel which has been loaded on the German submarine Deutschland at Baltimore, that was in the line of their business. But where firms are known to be the profits of their business go to Germany, or where Germanic firms or American firms acting as agents have gone out of their regular lines of busi- ness to deal with Germany, British merchants have been prohibited from dealing with them, British authorities here contend no legitimate American firm or corpora- tion will be injured by the blacklist nor German firms in the United States which have confined their operations to their own line of business. Second lowa Infantry Has Left Camp Dodge | Des Moipes, Ia, July 23.—The sec- jond Towa infantry entrained yester- (day, and the first section felt at 7 o'clock, two others following at short intervals.
