WISCONSIN
UNIVERSITY
RANKS FIRST
Noted Writer Says Badger Institution
Is Foremost Among State Uni.
yersities in Service TO the
Commonwealth.

/ recent book entitled (which Col
lege for the Boy by Mr.. John Cor
bin, describes very fully the workings
/ OF the five great universities of the
United States. Mr.. Corbin is gradu'
ate of Harvard, and a gres admireI
Of that institution, but he prefaces his
description Of Wisconsin University
with the following
Eastern educators were surprised,
four years ago, when a member OF the
British Parliament who had come TO
this country on the Moseley educa-
tional commission, the Honorable viii
liam Henry Jones, placed the Univer-
sity Of WISCONSIN in a list of our five
leading Institutions of learning, and
excluded from the list Yale, Princeton,
Columbia, Pennsylvania and Johns
Hopkins Surprise changed to skepti-
cism when he proceeded to state his
opinion that Wisconsin stood above
even the four other Institutions which
he named as Of the first order. Har-
ward, Cornell Michigan and California
being, in fact, the foremost univer-
sity of the land He was
on firm ground when he said: The
University of Wisconsin is whole
some product of a commonwealth Of
three millions of people; sane, indus
trial, and progressive. 1t knits to-
gether the professions and labors; il
makes the fine arts and the anvil one.
This Judgment touches the bedrock Of
fact-highly Characteristic fact"
Utility Is the Watchwo-1.
1.-THE state Universities of the West
lay chief stress upon immediate praC-
teal results-the technique of indus
try. Foremost in devotion to this
ideal is Wisconsin. Its watchword is
utility. As President Van Hise has
frequently expressed it, its aim is to
make the university the instrument
of the state. Ii Is in this respect that
Wisconsin ranks first among Ameri-
can Institutions"
Mr. Corbin Is right. The watchword
of the University of Wisconsin IL
utility, usefulness to all the people
OF lie state. The new work done by
the University Extension Division last
year was unique in the educational
annals of the world II not only taught
more than 1900 students within its
Hdliss Dut II gave INSTRUCTION 10 more
than 100 residents of Wisconsin by
correspOudence--cit who could not
afford the time and money to reside
In Madison. II also aided organiZa
lions which included more than 5000
members In the study and discussion
Of the great practical and economic
problems of the day. This was i'm ad-
dltlon to the number Of people IN
structed by the farmers institutes
which 1t conducted in every county Of
the state, and by the instruction III
such subjects as the prevention and
cure of tuberculosis by lectures given
in the cities Of the state.
Such a tremendous expar SION OF the
influence for good Of a university is
not only uneXampled, but Is the fore
runner Of tremendous development
IN the educational work Of the world.
How different from the work Of the
universities and colleges of two cen
turtles ago when the student member
ship was confined to the zone Of the
wealthy and literary classes. and
when even the books were chained
to the walls of the library.

EvERYBoDrs THANKSGIVING DAY

This is not the regular old Thanksgiving
sermon.
We are not going to catalogue half
column of things for which you should
be thankful We are not going to re-
+ peat the history of Thanksgiving day,
and we are not going to say anything
about dinner. There are people who
won't have any dinner.
1t may be better to speak of Thanks
giving in broader sense. Perhaps il
it served no other purpose it would dc
us good because under it's influence We
may sit down minute and try to fine
out what it is for which we ought To
give thanks.
We believe it is your experience.
Maybe that doesn't set well with you.
Maybe your experience this year has
been anything but what you'd like to &c
through again. Maybe this has beer
the hardest year of your life.
We thought of that before
And it doesn't make us hesitate a
moment in saying, still, that you ought
to be thankful for that experience.
If it has been a pleasant year, it is
easy to be thankful
If it has been hard year, why then,
If you are big enough to see it, you
may be thankful for that, too, for hard
ness has all the richer compensation.
Generally, our vision is so limited.
It's so rarely that we see further than
ourselves at this one moment.
If you could ever teach the man of
low intelligence to suffer as you suffer,
then he would be able to enjoy as you
will afterward enjoy.
Pleasure and pain are measured only
by our capacity to appreciate them.
But. finer ana richer than all the
great joy which is made possible by
great suffering, is the growth of soul
experience brings. In this year you
have grown. You have added to life.
II you are stronger for its triumphs,
there is cause for thankfullness; if il
has perhaps brought worse things into
your life, at least you know them now.
You have gone up one class in the
big university of life.
You have learned during this year,
and all the forces of the universe could
not have bestowed upon you more
precious gift
So, be thankful.
And remember
Heaviness endureth for night, but
JOY commeth with the morning.

UNIVERSITY
TEACHES TRADES
University Extension Offers Substi-
tutes for the Old Apprentice
ship System.

Until a generation ago the young
men who were trying to learn trades
were apprepticed TO men who had be
come successful In the calling. and
were given definite instructions By
these men in return for their work.
During the hast few years the system
OF apprenticeship has been abandoned
and the results have been disastrous
In many ways. Young men have often
gone into shops and commenced work
at machines and have remained at
these machines until they became
merely automntons, and were beyond
the age when they could learn new
lines OF work easily, There has been
a constant complaint on the part OF
manufacturers that they could obtain
plenty of unsldlled, cheap labor but
found 1t dtthcult 10 obtain as much
skilled labor as they needed.
When il has been necessary in many
great shops TO secure foremen, the EN-
ployers have had TO 60 to other shops
or 10 technical schools for help This
has made the workmen dissatisfied
and Ia many cases they have felt that
their employers We're not Interested IN
their welfare. when In reality the en-
ployprs would have been glad to pro
mole men FROM the ranks of their
employees II they could have afforded
70 do SO.

A Boston bulldog, owned by George
H. Clapp, was so determined to cap
ture woodchuck which he had chased
into it's den that he followed after and
stayed in the hole all Thursday night.
When the dog had got his jaws about
the enemy he found that he could not
get out, owing to the small size Of the
animals hole.
Rather than lose his prey the doc re-
tanned his hold on the wOodchuck over
night, and was helped out by his mas
ter in the morning. The dog was near
" exhausted, and revived after feed
ing and drinking in a curious manner.
He consumed about two quarts of UNI
guarded ice cream, which had been set
aside for a party. After this the dog
seemed still somewhat dazed, and cap
ped the climax by falling into bucket
of lemonade.-Worceste Telegram.

MEXICAN BELL RINGERS.
Form n Distinct and Important Class
OF tho Population.

Form n Distinct and Important Glass
of tho Population.
| 1t takes a great army of men to keep
the church bells going in Mexico 1t is
estimated that in Mexico City alone
there are more than 1000 bell ringers.
This is the number regularly employed.
On days of religious celebrations the
number is augmented, as the ringing
of bells must be kept up almost con-
stantly through the day and night on
such occasions. One of the most Strlk-
ing features of Mexican life to the cas-
ual visitor is the noise of the church
bells. Every little hamlet and many OF
the ranches in the country have one or
more Catholic churches, and each Is
equipped with one or more bell towers.
The great cathedral which stands near
the national. palace in Mexico City has
sixteen of these towers.
In some towns the constant ringing
! Of the church bells is prohibited by the
local authorities. The sounding Of the
| bells is permitted once or twice every
| hour. Some churches toll the quarter
hours and others toll every five min
| uteS. Most of the churches in Mexico
| City toll the quarter, half and hours.
The profession of bell ringing is
looked on by the lower classes as being
honorable and distinguished. The bell
ringers are reverenced as being an adj
| junct to the clergy. The bell ringers
themselves are usually proud Of their
work In many cases this place In a
church is handed down from father to
sol. through generation after genera
| ton.
The towers of the large cathedrals
are spacious, and are frequently fitted
with rooms which are occupied by the
bell ringers and their families. Here,
far above the noise of the traffic Of the
streets below, the faithful tollers of the
bells live peaceful life, seemingly I'M
mindful of the crashing noise which
constantly resounds about their heads.
They are away from the other noises
OF the city, but are in the midst of the
bell clangings, which go on all through
the days and nights.
| All Of the church bell ringing In Mex
leo is done by hand. Some Of the bells
are Of ponderous size and great weight.
TIC operate them requires the exercise
of powerful muscles and much bodily
strength. The bell ringers are divided
into day and night shifts. They are
required to tell the hours with preci-
sion. 1t is not necessary to carry a
watch in Mexico unless one is travel
ing in the country, out of sound Of the
church bells. At any hour, day or night,
a person can learn the time by listening
| to the tolling of the bells,
Many Of the bells which hang in the
church towers of Mexico were brought
from Spain in the early days of Span
ish rule. Some of them contain large
amounts Of precious metals, which give
them clear, rich tone. The bell ring
ers take great pride in their bells, and
much care and attention are given to
keeping them we'll FURNISHED and their
parts oiled and always in a state Of
| good repair.
