Professor j. B. Toronto spent the
weeks OF his vacation in pleasure and
hshlng expedition to Jackson's Hole.
The Pedagogium society met in its
nrst session of the season Friday even
ing. After a vocal selection by Miss
IDA Peterson, Congressman B. II. Rob
erts was introduced to the audience of
500 students. He lectured on The
Morning of Our Civilization"
Before beginning his lecture, Mr..
Roberts called attention to an editorial
article In the Provo Enquirer of Sept.
10, and from which he read as fol-
lows:
1T is a little strange that the Brig
ham Young academy in the face of the
published partisanship of Congressman
Roberts address known as The Morn
ing of Our Civilization should request
of the academy. Certainly that insti-
tuition does not want it to go out to the
rest of the state that partisanship is a
part of the training given the young
men of the academy. Denunciation OF
an administration whose policy has
made it possible for so many students
to attend the academy, seems to US IN
bad taste; and if the Deseret News cor
rectly reported Mr.. Roberts address at
Salt Lake, it was no more nor less than
criticism of the administration Phi
ippine policy. Such a criticism should
never be permitted in the pulpits or
church schools. 1t is bad enough on
the rostrum."
He said: I'm justice to you this in
sdtution of learning and myself l read
| this article from your evening paper.
AS for myself hoped this Pedagogium
society had better taste than to ask for
a discussion ON partisan questions. My
subject is purely academic, and a long
way from the Philippine question. Your
evening paper, 1 think, is just a little
too sensitive. I shall experiment and
read my address, first, because you are
| students, and, second, that you may
discover how far wrong your evening
paper is"

sponsible in a great measure for the
