Prizes for Essays.

John Barrett, United States
Minister to Columbia, has
offered prizes of $100, SIS and
$50 for which students in any
American college, university or
technical school may compete
during the academic year of 1906
06. The papers, typewriter,
are not to exceed 10000 words in
length, and must be sent by
September 1, 1906, to the Presi-
dent of Columbia College, New
York. There are five political
and economic subjects to choose
from and five historical. The
political subjects deal with the
Monroe doctrine, the Panama
canal, possibilities of trade with
South America, the present pro-
gress of South America and the
practicability of the Pan-Ameri-
can Railway. The historical sub
jects include reviews of the in
fuences and conditions that work.
ed for the independence and es-
tablishment of the South Ameri-
can republics also those Of Cen
trail America and Mexican, of the
character and achievements of
Boliver and San Martin, also of
the conditions influencing the
overthrow of the empire and the
establishment Of the republic of
Brazil.
On learning Of the above S. L.
Kline attended chapel at OAC
yesterday morning and the in
formation was given out to the
student body At this time Mr..
Kline went on record to the eff
feet that should any OAC student
compete for a prize as above
mentioned and secure one he
would add $25 on his own ac-
count. This is certainly an offer
worth while and should any OAC
student win a prize we know of
nothing that would be a bigger
card for our college.

The following evening the OAC girl
basket team won its initial game oyer the

Teach Boys a Trade.

The present educational sys-
TENS were attacked by Rev. E.
A. Paddock, president OF the
Industrial Institute, in an ad-
dress delivered before the coop
e1ative class at the First Congre-
gationa1 church, Chicago, on
Sunday. The speaker declared
the average, college graduate is a
complete failure when called up
on to make his living by manual
labor, and the whole educational
system tends to create a feeling
of caste. He urged as remedy
that students be required to de-
vote at least halt of the day to
learning a trade. =
81 believe that the social dis
orders which are prevalent in this
country today arise from the fact
that our system of education is
all wrong" he said. "We are
training one faculty only and
sacrificing the Others The rem
edy is to be found in halt-time
school, where the student will be
kept half day at his books and
taught some trade during the
other half. The half-time school
system would arouse wholesome
feeling of respect for fellow work.
ers aud would tend to break
down feeling of caste.
"Many prominent employers
have told me the poorest recon-
mendation young man can
bring them is his college diploma.
The fault lies in the fact that too
much attention is paid to theory,
while practical work, the thing
most needed in the battle with
the world, is almost entirely over
looked. Give the boy an educa-
lion, but give him also the
means of applying that educa-
tion."

If the pace set by the OAC basket ball
team in the games PLAYED Friday and
Saturday evenings continue champion

From all reports the game was q
whirlwlnd from beginning to end. Our
boys were at great disadvantage, hav
ing practiced in large, free hall and
then playing in the small hall at Mon
mouth. This, to large extent, accounts
for the comparatively close score. Had
the game been played on OAC's field

New Departure.

The Superintendent of the
United States Military Academy
recommended to the Secretary of
War that a committee of three,
consisting of an engineer, a land
scape gardner, and a forester, be
appointed to formulate general
plan for the improvement and
systematic management of the
lands of the reservation, in keep
ing with the general improve
ment provided for by Congress
sional appropriation.
The preliminary report made
by an agent of the Forest Service
showed that a large part of the
wooded area is and always will
be of greater value tor the sys-
tematic production of wood crops
than for any other purpose, and
that a plan of conservative man
agement based upon the princi-
pies of practical forestry could be
carried out without detriment to
the value of the reservation from
the standpoint of landscape arch
itecture or engineering. There
fore the report recommended that
a working plan or detailed
scheme of management be pre-
pared by the Service.
The Superintendent OF the
Military Academy then requested
the Service to make such a plan,
and, in compliance with this re-
quest, the Forest Service entrust-
ed the work to a forest assistant
and the members cf the senior
class of the Yale Forest School,
who served as volunteer assistants
for two months during the spring
of 1903.

West Side Men Killed.

Layfette, Ore, Jan. 4-Henry
Martin and Conrad Heineman,
section hands on the Southern
Pacific, living here, were killed
this morning about O'Clock
while returning from work at the
s'sink" at Lathlin's Gap, near
North Yamhill.
The crew of eight section men
was on car, and, owing to the
dense fog prevailing at that time
and a short curve in the track,
did not notice the unexpected
approach of an extra freight
train, which was carrying ma
terials to the break in the line.
Six Of the men managed to get
off the handcar in time, but ap-
parently Martin and Heineman
had not been warned in time.
Two other men were slightly in
jured.
Martin was thrown to one side
by the engine. He lived for
sometime afterward, but died be-
fore the train had reached Carl
ton as it brought them back.
| Heineman was instantly killed.
He was caught between the
handcar and the pilot of the
engine and his body was badly
bruised and his legs broken in
two places.
Both bodies were brought to
Carlton and held pending an in
vestigation, should one be neces.
sary. Martin was an elderly
man, an Odd Fellow and married.
Heineman was younger and
single.
No blameis attached here to the
crew OF the freight train. The
handcar carried no lights, but
it is doubtful, owing to the sharp
curve in the place where the ac-
cident occurred, whether lights
would hove prevented the al
tality.

A Christmas Present.

The following dispatch sent
out from Washington. D. c.,
December 2o, shows the kind of
Christmas present one man got:
AS a reward for defending the
postoffice at Emma, N. c., four
years ago, against four burglars,
President Roosevelt has waived
the civil service regulations upon
the recommendation of Post
master General Cortelyou and S.
H. Alexander's Christmas gift
was a promotion from laborer to
a clerkship i'll the department.
Not only has the brave North
Carolinian been promoted, but
to accentuate the honor, an Off
cial statement was issued today
which gives a full account of the
deed.
The attempted robbery took
place on the night of February
6, 1901. All the burglars were
arrested, two of them,, together
with two companions, after the
trial, were given the extreme
penalty of the law, which, for
the offense committed in North
Carolina, is death. Afterwards
the sentence was commuted in
the case of two of the burglars to
life Imprisonment. The other
two were hanged February 26,
1902. Alexander was shot in
the abdomen in his fight with the
men.

As Expressed by His Secretary Under
His Signature, They Were to
Be Wondered At.

"I have been requested" said
the great captain of industry, ad-
dressing his third assistant secre-
tary, according to the Chicago
Record-Herald, "to write mag
azine article on how to become a
magnate. I want you to get uI
something that will reflect credit
on me and make my friends won
der at my literary style"
Three days later the great man
read the article to which his name
was signed, and again addressing
his third assistant secretary said /:
'This is excellent. My reason
ing is perfectly clear. The young
man who can't after reading this
article of mine start right out and
become captain of industry is a
hopeless case, and don't deserve
success. Ny logic can't be beat,
my literary style is beautiful; l
have free and easy command of a
whole lot of fine, big-sounding
words that l don't know the mean
ing of, and, taking it altogether,
I'm mighty proud of my ability as
a writer.
"In fact, I've never read a bet
ter article than this one of mine
on how to get to the front. The
qualifications needed; how to Sc
cure the best returns for the ef-
forts expended; where, when and
how to begin; all these things are
so clearly set forth that I don't
seehow anyone who can read them
without understanding why 1
have clum to the top.
"That's a mighty good point you
make there about the Importance
of asking for what's wanted, too.
That's always been one of my prin-
ciples. Things don't come to peo-
pie in this world. You've got to
reach for them, and if you can't
see what you want, you've got to
ask somebody to pass it along.
I'D be mighty sorry if you'd forgot
to put that in. Everybody who
knows me will at once recognize
them as my sentiments.
"What! Raise your salary?
Young man, do you know $1s q
week is whole lot more than
you're worth? You ought to get
down on your knees to me every
day and thank me for keeping you
here. But Pm a Iiberal-n. inded
man, and Pll tell you what III do.
I'm to get $3.50 for this article.
and I'll give you $50 of it as a pres
ant, just to convince you that Pm
generous to a fault.
''I'm glad you put in that pas
sage about honesty being needed
by a man who's trying to succeed.
There's no use of anybody trying
to win without it,"
