Five hundred loaves of bread and an
ample quantity Of coffee has been
ordered to feed the people. Marshall

best crowds he has spoken to during
his present tour. All over the county
the farmers have made their arrange

this distinguished speaker. The OK was
purchased of Mr.. Samuel Riggs. It
weighed 1925 pounds, and was roasted

That there will be big crowd is as
surred. Last night people were already
arriving from distant parts OF the

weather need not interfere with the
meeting, as there is ample shelter and
the B. & o. trains stop within few

American Colleges.

For one who wishes to acquire knowl-
edge beyond what the mere reading of
books can give there are but two meth
ods possible: To go to the teacher, or
to have the teacher come to you. Both
these methods cost money in land
which embraces the width of a conti-
nent This is the justification in the
long run of that multiplication of col
leges which is so often criticised. 1t
needs only glance at the map to see
that we have not so many colleges to
the square mile, after all, as England
or Germany 1t takes Scotch lad
but few hours to go by rail to Oxford
or Cambridge, while it takes a Califor
MIA boy almost a week to reach Yale
or Harvard.
The element of distance and its
equivalent expense render it necessary
to plant institutions of learning all over
the country instead of concentrating
on very few. At the west the bene6
cent custom of building up state uni
versities for both sexes may in tim,
make the problem of higher training al
cheap as in Europe. Indeed, at som,
centers. like Ann Arbor, it may already
have done this. But we must always
remember that Europe had enormously
the start of us in accumulated oppor
tunities, and wherever these opportu,
mites are opened freely and in the
modern spirit they afford an advantage
with which it is as yet hard to compete.
