THE Sultan of Turkey is said to

At commencement time the college
graduate Is handed glittering strings
Of sterile platitudes by the man who
has never run factory, managed
railroad, or built a bridge. AS the col
lege was not organized to teach young
men how to do these things, it cannot
be expected that the learned gentlemen
who deliver baccalaureate addresses
are going to discuss the best ways of
doing them. The most that can be
expected of them are the usual exhor-
tations to utilize the training received
In the attainment of the highest ideals
Of citizenship. The question that con-
fronts the graduate, however, us soon
as the joyous glamor of commence
ment has faded away Is, How is he 60
ing to fit into the great industrial
struggle--a struggle that grows more
strenuous as the years go by? How is
he going to compete with the young
man who has been learning a business
while he has been learning Greek or
the sciences for four years at college? :?
Here Is where advice will come in
handy. Strikingly original and refresh
ingly practical is the address of Dr.
Draper, man who lays great stress
upon the Importance of relieving the
minds OF young men OF the notion that
college training is substitute for
work. In his baccalaureate address to
| the graduates from Il State university
he declared that the Naason for the
present tendency of certain successful
men to decry college education may be
found "in the conceits of too many
young college men and women: in
their nteachableness and their un-
Willingness to adapt themselves to the
present conditions and the details of
the labor which alone can build up sue
cess" On the question of work DR..
Draper said: Work, the steady. per-
sistent> doing of things upon work

nary accomplishments. If one gets the
idea that the things which he has
studied in the books are sufficient TO
enable him to get on without persist.
ent doing of things his case is hone
less In other words, the college grad.
uate must be willing TO start 'ut the
bottom" trusting to his college train

as he grows into a business or voca.

no easy war; we have our work cut
out for u.s.

A new contribution has been made
to the age-old discussion as to what is
the stronger force-heredity or envir-
onment. The United. States Bureau of
Education has issued pamphlet by
Arthur Mcdonald, specialist, on '"The
Criminal, Pauper and Defective
Classes" Mr.. Mcdonald minimizes the
power of heredity. He is optimistic
in the belief that inherited tendencies
may be overcome by proper surround
ings. Crime, in his view, is mostly due
to association. The. chief causes of
crime are outlined: Criminal parentage.
Neglect by parents. Poverty. Evil
associations. The saloon. Criminal
parentage does not necessarily pro-
duce criminal offspring. 1t Is the early
Impressions Of the criminal family that
start the wrong tendencies. These ten
dencies are confirmed by evil associa-
tions, accentuated by poverty and for
titled by the saloon. If this is true
criminology there is hope for society.
Change the surroundings Of the child
and you change its nature. Better en-
vironment, contact with better people,
education-these are the forces that
will raise the submerged. And this is
no platitudinous theory. 1t is true. 1t
has been demonstrated There are some
persons so low no earthly force can
raise them. There is no child born so
low but that it may be raised.

The General Synod Of the Reformed
Church in America has eliminated
from the brides response, in it's mar
riage service, the word "obey." AS
the Reformed Church is one Of the re-
ligious bodies which believe in, making
their forms correspond with their COM
municants' belief, it probably feels that
by this action it has merely ratified
the previous decision Of the American
wife, who has eliminated obedience
from her rule Of conduct. That the
contractual theory Of marriage has
taken deep hold Of the people is evil
denced by such acts as this on the
part of religious bodies. The sacra-
mental idea in marriage necessitates
bedience-nOminally on the part of
the wife; but as matter Of practice
it Is found, in such unions, that if the
wife does not obey the husband, he
has to obey her. The corollary of the
| contractual notion is divorce. And it
| Is the duty Of the Reformed Church in
| America, together with that of all 9TH
er religious bodies that have abandon
| ed the idea Of authority in marriage
to tell how they are going to espouse
the theory that marriage is contract,
with no command or duty to obey any
where, and also maintain the thesis
that divorce is great evil. Undoubt-
edly American society is just now in
the position Of choosing between the
old and the new, in this as In many
other things. And those who see no
security for the marriage Institution,
no sure foundation for the family, out
side Of an adherence to and vindica-
tion Of the solemn words, 'love, honor
and obey, till death do us part" at
least have consistency oh their side.
