| IT, is not easy to turn over u new
leaf. The powerful force OF habit is
brought homo to us in "a thousand
ways. Those accustomed to often
write dates know how hard it is even
to change from 1906 to 1907. In the
last few days there have been va

How the new page shall look when

in every case upon the Individual. That
human being is unfortunate. indeed,
who has reached a position where he
can witness the approach Of the new

SO, it is about tho only good thing that
there is in that resort. 1t is better to
make resolutions and break them than
to make no resolutions at all. Every
life is a continued effort, consisting of
many failures and few successes. but
it is upon the failures that the sue
cesses are built. The greatest lives
go out disappointed with themselves.

Several momentous features con-
corning the Constitution Of tho United
States arc likely to- develop out Of the
controversy between the president and
he people Of California. Ii the treaty
of 1894 regulates in any terms the press
ence Of Japanese in the schools Of any
of the states, the federal government
has exceeded it's powers In making
such u treaty; it is unconstitutional.
Tho government, as such, has 10 juris-
dction over education; il is a state at
fair. But, still more important is tha
virtual admission of President Roose-
Welt that no means exist, short of civil
war. by which &. state can he made Ia
respect and obey a treaty after it i,
made. We may search Judge Story's
treatise OH the Constitution in vain
for an explanation of these amazing
inadequacies in our greatest state pa
pcrs. Another, but final. query is:
Can IL sovereign State involve the
Federal Government in war with IL for

will enter actively upon the work of
making ready for the opening of his
department. 1t Is expected that within
year the necessary equipment for
thorough work in the line of civil and
electrical engineering will be estab-
lished, and that Whitman, which has
already given unrivalled instruction in
the liberal arts, will reach the same
high standard in technical engineering.
Then there will no longer be need of
students going elsewhere to get ad-
vantage of preparation in the widely
studied branches of engineering. The
advantages of this addition to the
working forces of the college can
hardly be overestimated.
From what ever point it may be
viewed. the evidences of increasing
resources and support for Whitman
college can be seer. 1t is plain that
all this is of inestimable value to the
community.
Simply from pecuniary standpoint,
it is plain that the presence here Of
nearly five hundred students and
teachers, with the families of the lat
ter, (and the number of pupils will
soon be double) is source of most
profitable trade to the community.
The permanent establishment here
of an institution with property worth
half million dollars, with practi-
cal certainty of it's great increase,
means a continual source of profit to
the business interests of the city.

But far more important than the

1t is the aim of Whitman cOnserva-

all possible advantages that may be
enjoyed in the far east, and by doing
so create a truly musical atmosphere
and love for art and general culture.
In view of this fact only broad
minded musicians of high standing and
wide experience are employed and by
the aid of these musicians, who are
all artists in their several lines. the
standards are kept high and the meth
DDS used are entirely up-to-date, while
the tuition is reasonable. Besides the
regular courses in music, additional
advantages are offered of taking cole
giate or academic studies in connec-
ton with regular music courses, at no
extra expense. The use of an excellent
musical library. the college library, the
gymnasium, tennis courts etc, is at the

Certificates, diplomas and degrees are
awarded upon the completion of any
of the following courses: Piano, or
