The friends OF forestry might hunt a
long time for a stronger argument in favor
OF timber culture than one furnished by a
dispatch In the Journal Of Friday. 1t
showed that the standing timber on a large
farm in Wabash county was bought two
years ago by certain parties for $4,000,
sold by them TO a umber syndicate for
$4,000. and after being sawed up netted the
last owners a profit OF 100 per cent. on
their Investment. Trees viii make money
for their owners if they are given half a
chance.

A religious exchange contains a long edi-
torial protest against the manner in which
women's clubs are interfering with spirit
uality by taking UP time which ought 10
be given to the church. This will surprise
most women who belong to these clubs.
Probably few Of them are conscious of be-
Ing so infatuated with their clubs that
they neglect their church or its duties.
The article goes on to say: "Women's
clubs, If used nationally, if used as they are
intended to be used, if utilized as a public
library or a lecture or a good book are
used. become simply a means TO an end,
a helpful agency for greater culture on
the one hand and greater efficiency on the
other. That is all. They do not, they
cannot. create character. Refinement is a
thing Of the spirit. Refinement and char
acter are creations by our Lord and Savior,
Jesus Christ. They belong to the soul.
They are the work of the church. They
belong TO a domain that clubs can never
supply" Does this religious editor mean
TO say that the church is anything more
than a means to an end? The end arrived
at is not precisely the same as that sought
by women's clubs, but surely the church
is merely an aid to higher life, not the
nal goal into which the human creature,
having entered. may sit down content.

this government could not think Of paying

such action as it would in the case of a

AID FOR ART STUDENTS.

Milwaukee has an art students league,
and that league has arranged for the open
ing of a full-fedged, well-equipped art
school. Indianapolis has a good many art
students and others directly or indirectly
concerned with art matters. There is I'M
doubtedly a much more intelligent interest
taken in the subject by the public generally
than was the case a few years ago; never
theIess, it appears TO unbiased observers
that less activity is being shown and less
rapid progress being made than formerly.
There are many workers, but they seem TO
be working in entire independence of each
other, thereby losing the benefits of asso-
citation and preventing the formation of
the art atmosphere so desirable, if not
essential, as an inspiration to the best eff
fort. There is the Art Association, it is
true. but it is absorbed in contemplation of
the art building tina is 10 be, and is in
nowise an aid to the growth of the art
spirit. a mere organization formed in the
name Of art and considering the subject
only in its material aspects can accomplish
little In any case, nor will the art building,
when completed and it's rooms filled with
art objects, be of itself a real center and
an inspiration unless it is a so by the
ardor and enthusiasm OF the students and
workers and art lovers of the city. Is all
cooperation and activity in allegiance wait
ing for the completion of the building?
Indianapolis needs a school for a host OF
young students. Is it necessary to wait the
slow processes of the association before
establishing II?
