the loss on the academy building with

THE LEcTURE.-Dr. w. w. Folwell, of
the State University, read an able paper
on "Good Socialism and Bad" at the OPP
era House on Wednesday evening, and
for more than an hour held the unbroken
attention of his large audience. He de-
fined property and .discussed it in its va
rious relations to the individual and So
ciety at large, making wonderfully clear
the distinctions between so-called social
ism and communism on the one hand,
and state intervention in the limited con-
troll of Individual acc,1mulations and
possessions on the other. Any attempt
to epitomize the lecture would be fail
ure, and unjust to the lecturer, for every
sentence in the lecture had it's appropri-
ate place and force, and a condensed re-
port would destroy the whole.
DIR. Folwell is a close reasoner, and laid
down his premises so clearly that they
could not but be understood, while his
argument from them was conclusive. ..
1t was certainly the most scholarly lee
ture ever presented to Sank Centre au-
dience, and it was we'll delivered to de-
lighted audience.
