SCHOOL AND COLLEGE WORK
Crusade Against High School Frater-
mites Steadily Widening.
FARM INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL PLAN
Secretary Root on the Opportunities
AwaitinE College students-Activ-
titles and Reports of various
Installations.

The crusade against high school fra
ternities now extends from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. Wherever the evil exists
determined efforts are being made to
root It out, and IL is only a question Of
a year or two before the breeder of
cliques and clans will be an unpleasant
memory. In Chicago, where much re-
sistance was shown at the opening OF the
school year, what little remains of the
organization drags a feeble existence in
dark places, sustained by boys and girls
who have yet to learn and appreciate
the fundamenta virtues of obedience to
their supertors. In Melrose, Mass, the
school authorities nave outlawed the fra
ternities and have served notice on the
parents Of the offending pupils that UNI
less they obey school rules they will be
dismissed. The most emphatic of recent
declarations against these organizations
comes from Superintendent Frank +.
Bunker of the schools of Berkeley, Cal.
The students have been told that unless
the charters of every fraternity and
sorority in the school is returned at once
to the national headquarters those who
retained membership would be sum
marily expelled from the schools. In a
lengthy denunciation of the societies,
which have existed in spite OF several
rulings Of the board, Prof. Bunker de-
clared that the fraternities not only de-
stroyed the unity and harmony OF the
school, but also aroused a false social feel
ing by the promotion of cliques.

GREAT OPPORTUNITIES.
Secretary Roots Advice to College
Students.

you are now standing on the threshold
Of great opportunities" writes Secretary
Root in Leslie's Weekly. I'm all ages
never were so many avenues to success
open to the young man of power, intellect,
and force of character. In all the coun-
tries of the earth there is not one in which
these personal characteristics are in such
demand as in this peaceful, orderly America
of ours. You are not to be mere store
houses of dry learning, all covered with
dust, but you are to learn to be men.
Boundless possibilities are yours. You will
either fail or attain the brightest success.
II is not so much what you learn as what
you become. Now is the time for character
forming. You are to be great and successful
or failures In life. You have now that
which all the world envies-youth. II
now rests with you to commute that with
capacity for happiness and power to work
well, and my best wishes go with you"

son. Ira Highly. In Dement,, ILL.,, OF all
ments incident to old age. His age was 50.
o G. Highly came to Omaha from
Glenns Falls, N. Y, in 1857, and had made
his home in Nebraska almost continuously
since. He conducted the old Farnam House
on Harvey street between Thirteenth
and Fourteenth for a number of years and
then took charge OF the Wyoming hotel at
Ninth and Farnam streets. both of which
were the popular hostelries or Omaha In
their day. Mr.. Highly removed to Beatrice
In the early 'S0s, making his home there
nearly thirty years. Owing to his increas-
ing age he did not engage in any active
business while in Beatrice.
Mrs. Highly, who died about three
years ago, was a sister of the late Senator
A. S. Paddock, and during her early and
long residence in Omaha and Beatrice be-
came widely known and esteemed for her
many exalted Christian qualities as a
member OF the Episcopal church Of which

UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS.
President James Scores the Practice
of HasinR.

President James issued an address to the
students Of the University of Illinois, No
vember 4 on the subject of hazing, in
which he said:
There should be no mistake on the part
Of the student body or the general public
as to the attitude Of the authorities OF the
University OF Illinois on the subject Of
hazing. 1t is a rule of the board of trustees
that students found guilty of hazing shall
be dismissed from the university. Since this
rule went into effect, all students who have
been clearly proven guilty OF hazing have
been dismissed.
Hazing is a violation Of good manners
and of the right OF individual liberty. II is
provocative of public disorder. Public opin-
ion throughout the state has very properly
set its seal Of condemnation upon it. On
all counts it must be put under the ban
of the university.
In its milder forms it is a nonsensical
and almost idiotic form OF amusement, I'M
worthy of the support or favor of any SEN
sible university student. 1t was looked upon
as a comparatively slight offense perhaps
twenty years ago in small institutions. II
is today altogether unworthy of the tradi-
lions and reputation of a national institu-
ton such as this has become.
In it's coarser forms hazing is a vulgar
brutal, always demoralizing and sometimes
dangerous form of sport. which the univer-
sity cannot countenance or tolerate. 1t ma.
turally leads to reprisals and may thus be-
come a source OF serious disorder within
or without the university. In It's worst
forms, which fortunately nave not prevailed
here, it may, not inaptly. be compared
with nlght-riding, whitecappingr and Other
similar forms of outrageous interference
with private and public rights.
Surely these are reasons enough not onl,
to forbid its existence at the university, hui
to use every legitimate means to stamp fl
out.
Speaking under the supervision of TN,
University Of Illinois Bureau of Agriculture
Extension, experts in every branch of farm
Ing are scheduled to give a total of almos
300 talks and addresses throughout tn,
rural districts OF the state during IN,
coming six months. There is SCARCELY 8
farmers institute in the state that has no
one or more university men appearing OF
Its program, while the stronger institute,
have booked three or four men for thei,
courses.
The enrolment Of students at the Ini
versity OF Illinois up to November 1. 1908
reached a total Of PIT or 8 per cent over tn,
enrolment for the year of about 5000 TIL,
largest increase is In the graduate school
which has advanced from los last wear I,

PRINCETON UNIVERSITY.
Completion and Equipment of Palmer
Physical Labornt0ry.

with the opening of the Palmer Physical
Laboratory at Princeton university one Of
the equipped buildings OF Its kind in Amer
lea is now available to students in physical
and electrical engineering.
Constructed throughout Of brick, concrete
and iron or steel, the building is considered
absolutely flreproof. It's three floors give
a combined area of two acres devoted to
instruction and research. Besides two
lectures rooms seating S5 and 700 persons,
respectively and three smaller lecture
rooms with a capacity Of seventy-ffve each,
there are seven recitation rooms and also
four large Laboratories. one for each OF the
four college classes. These laboratories
and lecture rooms are all provided with the
most improved accessories OF modern SCI
ence for use in experimental lectures or
demonstrations In addition to the storage
battery rooms and electric and charging
machinery rooms, there are three machine
shops. n special chemical laboratory, a
constant temperature room, a balance room,
an X-ray room. photometric and photo
graphic dark rooms. refrigerating, liquid
air and hydrogen plants. a library and a
museum. Private working offices are pro-
vided for the professors Of the two de-
partments of physics and electrical en-
cheering and for special research stu
dents.
Built on three sides OF a terrace with
southern exposure, plenty Of light and air
is assured the whole building, while an
electric elevator and an int~erconnecting
telephone system make prompt internal
communication easy. An extensive system
OF wiring for direct and alternating cur
rents and a vacuum and pressure system
are installed, leading to all parts of the
building.
An interesting innovation is a pendulum
shaft extending from roof to basement, in
which will be permanently hung a pendu-
lum whereby the revolving of the earth
may be observed.
Finally, a generous enables
the purchase of supplies, the construction
of special apparatus, and the satisfaction
OF the general scientific needs Of the two
departments whose work is now central
lied in this building.

COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY.
Features Of the Annual Report II the
President.

President.
The annual report of President Nicholas
Murray Butler to the board of trustees of
Columbia university shows that although
the amount Of money received in gifts by
the university during the years 19070s is
less by more than $250,O00 than the preceding
year the operations of the university were
conducted without any appreclable def
cheney and without a further addition to the
debt. BY practicing the most rigid economy,
according t. DIR. Butler, the financial condi-
ton of Columbia has been brought into a
more satisfactory state than has been the
case In a dozen or more years.
The endowment OF the university in real
estate, including the property owned and
occupied for educational purposes or held
for investment, is placed at $33, ISL, 621. 81,
against which there is outstanding debt
of $3,4S9, 156. 40. OF this amount the fees
from students will provide $l,O45, 730.4 Al, and
the remainder is made up from rents, in
terest and miscellaneous sources. There
was a net gain OF 521 students in 1907-OS
over the preceding year,
A summary Of the total gifts received
during the year shows that they amounted
to H,077,9 S3 81, while the gifts in I9O6-O7
totaled 1880, 5000 During the seven years
1901 OS Columbia has received gifts amount
ing to &c., S6, 2s6. SO.
President Butler makes an appeal for
the erection and completion of a number
of new buildings. whose total cost will be
nearly 100000. He says that the need for
these buildings Is imperative and that they
must be erected within a very short. time
If the university continues to grow in the
same ratio that has marked its development
in the last ten years.

AGED FATHER SEEKS HIS SON
Old Man stIlI vigorously Pursucs
Search for Boy Lost Twelve
Years Ago.

The seemingly vain hope of an aged
father that he may see his runaway son
once more is back Of a search that is be-
ing vigorously prosecuted to find Sidney
Samuels, who ran away from his home in
New York twelve years ago and has been
missing since. Although his family has
followed up every clue II has been able to
find 1t has SO far failed to find a trace of
him and all but the old father have about
given up hope.
George Franklin. q brother-in-iaw of the
missing man, Is a travelling salesman and
while not engaged In selling goods he is
looking out for clues for his absent rela-
tive. He has consulted with the chiefs of
police or superintendents of detectives In
practically every important city. in the
country in his efforts.
II he is still alive Mr.. samuels is % years
old. He left home with a schoolmate who
aftcrward returned home and said Sidney
had found work as a coschman in Toronto.
His father went there at once, but could
not find him. Hundreds of supposed clues
have been followed up to no avail.
THE boy was one of the kind that was
always working" said Mr.. Franklin yes
terday. and this causes us to hope that he
Is a SUCCESSFUL business man somewhere.
Although his father attends constantly to
his duties as night chief Inspector in the
New York customs house, he is failing fast
and the fear that he may never see his
boy again is beginning to break his health.
This fact is stimulating the family to prose-
cute the search more vigorously"
George Samuels, father OF the runaway,
