NEW PRESIDENT
Dr.. Willis e. Parsons Installed as
President at Parsons College at Fair
fieId-Discusses Place Of the Church
College in Education.

Fairfield, June DIR. Willis Ed
wards Parsons Wednesday was inaug-
urated president of Parsons College in
the Presbyterian church. The impress
Willis G. Craig, of Chicago, president
Of the board of trustees, who delivered
he charge to the new president and
presented him with the keys of the coll
lege. j. S. Mckinney administered the
oath Of office.
In his inaugural address DR.. Par
sons dwelt on the value and usefulness
of the church college. He said in part:
For years the debate has been on,
whether there is any place now for the
church college. A large class of people
loudly and persistently maintain that
there is no reason for its continued
existence. They argue that, while it
has had an honorable history, and done
great work, the day of its usefulness
is over. With the states recognition
OF the citizen, it is claimed that the
ODlRaClOn Ol Uu0 CIlulCll CedStS. .0lolc
universities and the magnificent insti-
tutions endowed by the munificence of
the wealthy, we are told, have made
the little schools which the church has
established and maintains, as anomal-
GUS and out Of place as dinosaur
would be.
..The church college is needed to
demonstrate that religion is still a vi
tai force in the world. There is a
congruity between religion and educa-
ton which is beautiful Religion is
never so attractive as when combined
with education, and education find its
true place, when acting as the hand
maid of religion. We would be untrue
to the facts were we to say that re-
ligion is dependent upon education. But
it is true that the school or college
dominated by the spirit of religion is
a mighty force for Righteousness"

men no longer are on such friendly
terms politically as before. Mr.. Bald
win is the attorney for the Union Pa
ciilc and has been one of the leading
railroad politicians of the state. Con-
gresham Smiths former secretary IS
nov writing the editorials in the Nom
paleil and these have had a tone that
was not exactly standpat. Other
leading papers of the southern part of
the state are showing the same tend
en;,y.
founding of the Iowa Wesleyan Univer-
sity at Mount Pleasant which is being
arranged is to be made great and
noteworthy occasion. The program
has been prepared and made public
and contains a great many of the
prominent men of the state and some
of the nation who have graduated
from the institution. The first gradu-
ate of the school was w. S. Mayne
now of Council Bluffs schools. He was
the only graduate from the school in
1869. The charter for the school was
issued In 1916, however. Among the
students of the first class was Jno. S.
Woolson. a United States judge, Presi-
dent Shelton of Simpson College and
his sister, Miss Bell A. Babb. now Mrs.
Bell A. Mansfield of DePauw Univer-
sty. Her husband now deceased was
also a graduate there and taught IN
DePauw. 1t is planned to have
large number of these people, all of
them that 1t is possible to secure, at
tend the exercises at this commence
ment Of the university.
1t is learned that when Secretary
Leslie M. Shaw was in the city the
other day he made inquiries of "a num-
Der of persons to ascertain the feeling
of Iowa people toward the utterances
of the governor at this time on the
tariff question. 1t is known that on
some occasions at least he was told
that the questions of rate regulation
and tariff revision were very popular
with the people just at this time and
that the utterances of the governor
were striking a responsive chord in the
breasts of the people.

A letter from George L. Dobson to
DR.. Kennedy, secretary of the state
board of health stated that he would
sail the 9th on the Siberia. He en-
closed an editorial clipped from the
San Francisco Bulletin on the state
n,ents of Secretary Kennedy that doc
tors should shave off their whiskers.
DR.. Kennedy has now received news
paper clippings on his comments from
nearly every corner of the state. One
eastern paper has urged him most
earnestly to write for them thought
full and studied paper on the subject
treating the matter from all stand
points humorous as well as otherwise.
A score or more have made every eff
fort possible to secure his picture.

A Boy and a Girl.


saw them one day in the sunshine,
Out there where the clover blows
A wee little tiny tow headed girl
And boy with freckled nose.
With an old straw hat without any brim
And galluses holding his clothes
A wee little girl with a pigtail braid
And a boy with two stubbed toes.
saw them one even in the twilight.
Down there where the river flows.
The pigtail braid is big braid now
How lad or a lassie grows!
The old straw hat Is a new hat now,
And never freckle shows
On the face Of the youth, who. bending
his head,
Gives q fair headed maiden rosa
I saw them again in the sunshine,
And whatever do you suppose?
Between them and about them there
romped
And ran and chung to their clothes
A wee little tiny tow head girl
And boy with two studded toes
A wee little girl with pigtail braid
And a boy with frecklcd nose

Life's Tavern.
In this old tavern there are rooms so dear
That would linger here.
l love these corners and familiar hooks
Where 1 have sat with people and with
books
The very imperfections and the scars
About the walls and ceiling and the floor,
The sagging of the windows and the door.
The dinginess that mars
The hearth and chimney and the wood
laid bare
There on the old black chair.
The dear dilapidation of the place
Smiles in my face,
And l am loath TO go.
Here from the window is q glimpse Of
sea
Enough for me.
And every evening through the window
bars
Peer H. the friendly stars.
And yet | know
That some day must go and close the
door
And see the house no more.

of the Burlington system was filed with
the executive council yesterday which
leaves none but the Great Western of
the larger roads of the state yet to re-
