who are giving you the things
which Will last you through life. Have
you ever stopped to think of the debt
of gratitude for all this learning2 Why
is it that so much emphasis is laid upon
an education2 Why is it that 25, O0O, 900
dollars of the states money is used to
plant a school house upon every hill?
Why is it that colleges and universities
are receiving so much attention? 1t is
for the development of the man. They
are founding a state when they estab-
fish college. I would rather have
diploma from a college like Washburn,
with all that 1t means, than the deed to
the best farm in Shawnee county.
1T is a splendid thing to be young.
would rather be a young man enter
ing college without a dollar in my
of so. The trouble with me is that I
can't be either. Born in poverty,
Graded in adversely, knowing but the
struggle of life, it used to be that I
had a good deal of sympathy for the
poor boy struggling for an education.
But as l have grown older. as I have
become wiser. as / have read history
and especially the history of our glori-
Gus country. 1 have come to the con-
clusion that it is the rich mans son
who deserves the sympathy. 1t is the
millionaire's son who receives our
pity I hope not many of you boys
will take offense at this.
Any thing is within the realm of
possibility that you have the grit and
gumptiCn to go after. If you go out
from this school to chase the dollar
and to squeeze the nickel, better had
it been that this college had never
been founded.
kansas is the best place for manly
development and I congratulate you
for having so good an environment"

COV.HOCH SPEAKS
Delivers Address at WaShbUrn
Anniversary Today.
Discusses the Value of Education
to Mankind.

The fortieth anniversary of the found
ing Of Washburn college was celebra-
ted this morning at the college chapel.
The exercises were not long and con-
sisted of a brief review of the history
of the founding of the college by Dean
d. L. McEachron and a speech giving
the value OF an education by Governor
f. ". HOch.
DR.. Francis Hayes. of the First Con
gregational church, gave the opening
prayer.
The history of the college, its trials
and successes, from the time of the
founding by Dr.. McVicar to the present
day was reviewed by d. /. McEachron.
a telegram was read from President
F1ass extending greetings to the stud
ents and expressing his good wishes for
the success of the college
The speaker of the morning was Gov
ernor Z. w. Hoch who said:
If there be any occasion for which
a speaker should make the most soulful
preparation it is when he is to speak
before an assembly such as greets me
here this morning.
In choosing the theme of my talk to
you this morning I am made TO think
of the wisdom Of the little boy who,
when a stranger who was to speak be-
fore his Sunday school class. asked the
question, What shall 1 speak aboute p
the little boy replied, About noe min
ute.
I feel like echoing the words, which
1 q j
minute In doing so thought turns to
school and the requirement of an edu-
cation.
What is an education What is the
meaning of the word2 If my memory
does not fail the word comes from the
Latin verb to lead out. The root
meaning contains the idea of not SO
much accumulation as development.
And may ! say that in my own Judg-
ment an education means the develop
nRDt of the whole man.
In reviewing the history Of educa-
ton we find that some nations used
their learning in the development of the
muscles. They encouraged athletes
and gladiators but no such nation de-
veloped men but brutes.
Other nations have gone to the other
extreme and have emphasized the
spiritual at the expense of the physical
They considered the body as a clog or
a draw back to spiritual attainment and
they disregarded its needs accordingly.
J. once knew of a. boy who got up at
O'Clock in the morning to pray Now /
believe that the most acceptable prayer
at 3 in the morning is d good sound
sleep.
THE intellect has been considered by
other nations as the most important
phase of an education and it has been
developed to the detriment of the
spiritual and physical factors.
II am pleading this morning for a
rounded educaion-the development of
the whole man. Pay attention to your
physical condition. be strong and stur-
dy. then develop the mental abilities
and round il all up with good spirit
ual education.
There are forty years of history rep-
resented here this morning What trials
and victories. what struggles and tri-
umphs, are crowded into that brief
period. How much you owe to the
founders of this college, to the faculty

Since the disclosures made before

DISPLAY OF H.B. HOWARD
Interesting Things Exhibited by To-
peIza's Sporting Goods Man.

The booth of H. B. Howard. the
sporting goods man, at the Auditor
ium, is one of the most attractive
booths in the hall, and very few ex-
hibits are attracting the attention that
this one is.
Aside from the elegant display of
sporting goods and hunters articles
displayed by Mr.. Howard, he has in the
center of the exhibit on a table the
largest knife in the world. This knife
is of much interest to the visitors. as
it is made from the very best quality of
steel, and weighs $50 pounds. The
knife was on exhibition in the display
Of the Simmons Hardware company at
the st. Louis exposition, and is really
a rare novelty of its kind.
In addition to this and the sporting
goods displayed, Mr.. Howard has an
elegant assortment of guns and pistols
that he carries in his stock, as well as
all makes of ammunition, hunting
coats and caps, gloves, and in fact
every thing that is of interest to the
hunter. The booth is artistically dec
GRATED, and well located, and so ar
ranged as to display the many goods
handled by Fl. =. Howard at his sport
ing goods store at sos Kansas avenue.

The Egg-O-see Exhibit.

The attractive exhibit of the Egg-O-
See company at the Auditorium is in
charge of Mr.. c. H. Hoagland. general
western representative of the COM
pany, who has charge of the distribu-
ton of the companys product
throughout this territory.
There is no booth at the exposition
that is attracting any more attention
than is this display and though every
person who visits the show is IA
miliar with this popular breakfast
food, still there are many interesting
dishes that are being explained by the
demonstrators, and the actfveness
of these dishes are holding the crowds
constantly around the booth.
The booth is artistically decorated
and arranged, we'll lighted, and occu-
pies a prominent position in the hall
where it can be seen from almost any
quarter.
There are few breakfast foods on
the market that are so popular as
Egg O-See, and this fact alone empha-
sizes the superior quality of the article
and the vast sale that Egg-O-See has
attained only proves the popularity of
this product with the general public.
Visitors at the Nfidwinter are in
vited to visit this booth and try the
many new and attractive dishes that
the demonstrators are displaying, as
full instructions will be given to all
regarding the preparation of them.
