FAVORS ATHLETICS
Rev. Theodore EkbIad Wins
Great Applause by Statement
in Augustana Lecture.
PHASES OF COLLEGE Lift
He Holds Physical to Be as important
as Others-Expresses Opinion
as to Coeducation.

Personally, | am in favor of attn
letics in all FORMS
This statement, made by Rev. Theo-
dore Ekblad, treasurer of Augustana
college, evoked storm of applause
at a meeting of the Adelphic society
last night Rev. Mr.. Ekblad was the
speaker of the evening and had chosen
for his subject Phases of College
Life He divided the subject into
three phases-the mental. physical and
social Speaking of the physical phase,
he said:
There was time when it wa;
thought that no one could be intelli
gent except those lons-taced, pale
faced mortals who spent their entire
lives secluded in a monastery OF
cloister. This time is row past, as
No person can develop his mind nor
mally who neglects his physical ma
ture The men and women who make
their mark are those who seek to de-
velop their body as well as their mind.
Personally, | am heartily in favor
of athletics in every form. | believe
tnat every boy should be i'll physical
shape to take the football field at any
time BY all means. take proper ply
steal exercise. be it tennis ball basket
ball. baseball. football, or any other
kind of ball.
FaVOrs COeducatiOn.
Rev. Mr.. Ekblad also touched on the
social side of school life and expressed
himself heartily i'll favor of coeduca-
ton.
In coeducational institutions such
as this, our young men and young
women have an opportunity of learn
ing 10 know each other better They
learn to know that the one is not eX-
actly an angel, and the other is not a
man from another place-they learn
to know each other as they really are.
This intermingling has most whole
some influence on both. 1t acts as Il

me New Trend Of Educatlou.

The New Trend Of Edueataom.
That the demands Of the times are
toward the practical in education is
the sum OF the expert opinion brought
out by the Worlds Work In answer
to a direct inquiry upon this subject
The magazine asked several leading
educators to name the new tendency
Of most value and Significance for the
present conditions OF American life.
Generally the replies favored what
one expressly stated as follows: 'Tn-
structlOn aimed definitely to assist
men who are going into business" In
this connection technical training, In
GLIDING agricultural high schools, got
a good word. In q general survey Of
our educational tendencies by United
States Commissioner Elmer Il. Brown
the point Is made that as a nation 1--WE
have become seriously interested In
trade schools and that the interest
in rural schools has taken a new turn"
namely, new type Of rural educa-
ton represented by the agricultural
high schools
While the note OF the practical is
the one at the front in the majority
Of the replies received, the idea Of
knowledge for it's own sake is not
thrown aside. Thus Commissioner
Brown speaks Of faTreaching ZEN
deavor to bring together two kinds OF
education which for centuries have
gone apart-namely, the education of
the school and education by the ac-
tual doing OF the things Of ordinary
daily life" This dual ideal is more
clearly put by Professor Claxton OF
the University OF Tennessee, who says
that the education which win make
good citizens and at the same time
develop ability to add to the common
wealth Of the country Ia now OF most
value and significance. That the tend
ency Of our methods have been one
sided in the past Is suggested by Tay-
lor OF Vassar, Humphreys OF Stevens
Institute Of Technology and Hadley Of
Yale. President Hadley thinks that
the elective system has plunged edu-
cation into Chaos in this country.
while President Taylor believes that
the capacity OF the child should be
taken into account before determining
the form OF education to be given.
President Humphreys voices the well
worn complaint that ain the effort to
cover many subjects we have drifted
into supernciality." Some OF the these
answers are in the nature OF criticism
rather than of information. yet the
tendency Of thought is Of interest as
possibly bearing upon the tendency OF
action.

IplaeIng the unemnloved.

An army Of unemployed Is nothing
new In Europe. and Great Britain,
France and Germany have furnished
valuable experience In the manage
ment Of temporary relief. In their
treatment Of the problem European
countries recognize three classes OF
the unemplOyed-the unempioyable.
the hopeless vagrant and lncorrigIble
and the employable. For the employ
able employment bureaus have been
established, Germany maintaining over
coo Of these offices. Over 10000 per
sons are placed in situations every
year by the German bureaus. In
France all towns Of 10000 inhabltants
or over are compelled to maintain pub
lie employment bureaus.
In addition to the bureaus for and
Ing employment to persons who are
capable Of work. there are In the Ger
man countries homes or hotels. called
"home shelters" where travelling work
lnsmen In search OF employment may
have lodging and food for a night or
two by the payment OF a small sum
or, II unable to pay. BY doing q little
work. These home shelters are pri-
vate institutions. supported by trades
unions and also by religious societies.
In Germany the government Ia estab-
fishing a system Of relief stations
connected by telephone. and travelling
workmen are directed by government
agents as they 30 from shelter to
shelter where they are most likely to
ind employment For the unemploya-
BILE there are 'laboF colonies" where
unfortunates out Of work can have
food and shelter 50 long a. they con-
form to the rules Of the colony. An
advantage OF the European system
worth noting over here Is that II pre-
vents the massing Of the unemployed
In the great centers, They are kept
moving and kept scattered while IN
search Of work.

The Press does not wish to do
any one an injustlc, and In telling
OF the brutality exhibited toward the
defenseless animal which was being
taken to the pound yesterday we
simply gave the statements OF eye
witnesses and protested against such
treatment of a brute which the
Journal says consented to move
after much persuasion" and 1t should
have added, the Vicious use of a knife
In stabblng the animal and the in
Fiction OF other tortureB. This treat
ment may be fun for the preacher
editor and his friend, the pound
master, but 1t Is not approved by
people who have a spark OF humanity
left In them. The act has been
severely condemned generally and If
people do not like the publicity 1t
gives them, they should be more
careful in their treatment of dumb
animals. The Press is not respons-
ible for their acts, II simply prints
the news, and will not defend any
person In the brutal treatment of
dumb animal.
