Our Smaller Co $eges,

There are few striking facts
about the small American college,"
writes Edward w. Box in the
August Ladies Home Journal.
Zone striking fact is that sixty per
cent. of the brainiest Americans
who have risen to prominence and
success are graduates of colleges
whose names are scarcely known
outside of their own states. 1t is
fact, also, that during the past ten
years the majority of the new and
best methods of learning have
emanated from the smaller colleges,
and have been adopted later by the
larger ones. Because a college
happens to be unknown two hun
dred miles from the place of its
location does not always mean that
the college is not worthy of wider
repute. The fact cannot be dis
puted that the most direct teaching,
and necessarily the teaching most
productive of good results, is being
done in the smaller American COL
leges. The names of these col
leges may not be familiar to the
majority of the people, but that
makes them none the less worthy
places of learning. The larger col
leges are unquestionab)y good.
But there are smaller colleges Just
as good, and, in some respects,
better. Some of the finest educa-
tors we have are attached to the
faculties OF the smaller institutions
of learning. Young girls or young
men who are being educated at one
of the smaller colleges need never
feel that the fact of the college
being small one places them at a
disadvantage in comparison with
the friend or companion who has
been sent to larger and better
known college. 1t is not the COL
lege: it is the student"

The meeting held by Mr.. Badger
/ of the Church of Christ at the
school house closed last Sunday.
I want to critisize the last clause
in the article of tom Tinker" in
last weeks issue. He says: 1.-The
Rev. Mr.. Badger, of Drain, is hold.
ing series of meetings at on,
school house this week. He repre-
sents the Deciple or Christian
Church. Now he alone is respon
sible for calling Mr.. Badger Rev
for he makes no pretension to tha
title, as the bible which is hi!
standard, applies that title to Coo
only. He also says He repre-
sents Tie Deciple or Christian
Church." Now we do not know
that there is such church in ex
istance, but we do know that Mr.
Badger does not represent anything
of the kind. AS he is merely
member of Christ's body, Hi
church, and a minister of TIL
Gospel. We would admonisl
Tom Tinker" TO be careful in hi
statements in the future and kee]
within the truth or he will prov
that his title of Tinker" will shoy
that he is a tinker.
1t is announced that Mr.. Parker
of Philomath college will preach a

A Remarkable Cure OF Chronic
Diarrhoea.

In 1862, when I served my
country as private in Company
A, I67th Pennsylvania Volunteers,
I contracted chronic diarrhoea. 1t
has given me great deal of trouble
ever since. 1 have tried dozen
different medicines and several
prominent physicians without any
permanent relief. Not long ago a
friend sent me sample bottle of
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy, and after that
I bought and took so cent bottle;
and now I can say that 1 am en-
tirely cured. I cannot be thankful
enough to you for this great Rem
edy, and recommend it to all suffer-
ing veterans. If in doubt write
me. Yours gratefully, HENRY
