History in the Making.

Prof. j. A. James of Northwestern
University recently announced to the
students in his American history class
that they would be expected to come
TO the class room prepared to answer
questions on the news Of the day. In
the course of lecture he referred to
an article in morning paper and
upon questioning the members of the
class. found that only two of them had
read the days newspaper He there
upon made the announcement:
Hereafter | shall expect you to have
an accurate knowledge of current
events as chornicled each day In the
newspapers. and | shall consider 1t
fully as important as the daily lessons
assigned from the books"
The plan thus announced by Profes-
sor James is one which is followed by
many instructors of history. not only
in the colleges. but in secondary
schools as well. The news as con-
tanned in the daily press dispatches is
history in the making. What is his
tory to-day was once news and what
is news to-day will soon pass into his
tory. Familiarity with events that oc-
Cured decades or centuries ago coup.
led with Ignorance of affairs that are
now shaping the destinies of nations
and individuals is surely an absurdity.
What practical value can history
have unless from 1t we may draw les
sons for the present. and how can such
lessons be drawn unless we are famil-
lar with events of the day?-Colorado

We do not eat either baking powder or

bread raised with them. When placed upon

no baking powder in the biscuit. Both
