teaching them the necessity of endowing
church colleges with equal liberality.
Another element is Numbers. 1t is difficult
to interest men in colleges whose outlook is
meager. There are few gifted men and most
of them leave poverty-stricken institutions
to 20 where there is wider field of useful
ness. Graduation from large institution
gives friends, influence, character and posi-
ton.
Adaptation to tho rants Of the day charac-
tcrizes the strong college. If the college is
to be strong it must seek to crafty the de-
mands of the times. We need curriculum
which will give intellectual discipline and,
at the same time, fit men for the particular
professions in which they wish to engage.

WHAT WILL IT BE ?-Thc busy season is
over and the long winter eve nings are here.
1t is the time when country communities
gather themselves into bodies and groups
for discussion. 1t is also very proper time
to develop new projects for individual or the
common good. In this place there seems to
be an of year in the matter of public under
takings and in the regular order, this winter
will be do.nothing season. The rule really
applies further back than three winters ago
when the canning house company was Or
ganizcd; two winters ago nothing was done;
last winter building association was insti-
tutcd and as we have said, the rule prom
Uses nothing to this winter. 1t is not a rule
however, but an accidental happening and
we should be very much gratificd to have
events prove this assertion to be correct.
We have nothing to suggest at present,
nor has anything been spoken of by others
of which we have any knowledge, hut we
do not suggest, because we deem it prcsump-
ton for those to lead in an idea, whose in
tention, or power, it is not, to lend practical
aid and we see the full measure Of our time
and resources when we open The CLARION
OFFICE door.
1t is for US to discuss ideas as they are
projected to lend our space to others who
are interested, willing and able to discuss
them to enlighten all by searching out and
giving any information attainabe and to ad-
wise the people as to the general opinion and
feeling, thus securing practical information,
giving it and noting its reception by such
as are interested. This we deem il our duty
to do and at the same time to urge it upon
our people to be pushing, active and enter
prsing.
We hope that the winter evenings inter
disposition to undertake and carry forward
some plan or project looking TO the increase
OF our business worth.
