ton. President Hadley in an address
to the Harvard students said:
Two generations ago the intellec-
tual idol of the graduates and students
of most of our colleges was the leading
debater. Now it is no longer. the de-

whether we should be better off if

opinion. There is, | think no difference
of opinion that we should be a great
deal better off if public attention was
more largely fixed on the intellectual
prizes and less upon the athletic ones.
The way to make the American
people more interested in scholarships
than in athletics is by proving that our
prize scholars even more than our
prize athletes represent the type Of
men for which there is public need :"
President Hadley was not sure that
he could honestly say that the prize
winners in the American universities
have done as much for the public as
the public has a right to expect He
knew that many men who have at

AN EDITORIAL TRUST.

Golfers has Christmas suggestion
for the magazines, weeklies and daily
journals of the forty-six states Each
one OF them. says Golfers, is gripped
by conviction from time to time, and
in a lonely and earnest way makes it's
way to the Amen row, and shouts with
the converted. 1t is like series of
rifle shots swinging all around the
compass. The suggestion is made
that If all who write and edit could
agree on an objective, the attack
would gain tenfold in directness and
power 1t is pointed out that here
there is paper with keen eye for
the tragedies of little children, there
women in industry In widely scat.
tered Offices isolated efforts are being
made to wage solitary warfare
against abuses and iniquities. and to
carry through single-handed crusade
IN defense of good works Golfers
suggests trust on the side Of the.
angels, an editorial syndicate Of
a paper stating the woeful facts of
social service. 1t says:
II the editors of the United States
will agree on a program of social bet
ternent, the day of attainment can be
wonderfully fastened. We suggest
the treatment of tuberculosis. the evil
of child labor, the conservation of
natural resources, overwork and con-
gestion, as five of the undebatable
items of a Detterment program, upon
which all journals could focus. With
such a synthesis of magazine effort.
publicity would be instantaneously
realized, public opinion would be
quickly formed, and legislation of
private effort follow. We could hasten
the good days that are coming and
catch up with our own future. BY thus
directing the engineery of publicity
the area of social betterment can be-
steadily widened, instead Of being re-
deemed in unrelated patches. And
this friendly agreement would remove
the elements of encouragement that
result from spasmodic crusades. You
have nothing to lose but your loneli-
ness. You have world to gain-a
world that is kindly and even beauti-
ful to many, and whose casual IN
justices must be steadily diminished by
cheerful and intelligent cooperation.
Such an editorial program might be
brought about to some extent, but the
natural contrariness of man, of which
even editors have a share, would
preclude the possibility of sufficient
number of them sharing the same view
to be held together long in any united
effort. The millennium does not seem
to be due Just yet.

A SUGGESTION TO eivERs.

There are many OttumwanS perhaps
who miss some of the joys OF the
Christmas season because they have
mas gifts. There are more who have
their families and their friends but
who would be glad to do something
more-to give q little something TO
charity. The Courier Junior Christ
mas Stocking club is not a big under
taking. Yet in the two years that
stockings heaped with presents were
given to the needy children of the
city it brought Joy TO the hearts of
many who otherwise would have miss
ed much of the Christmas cheer. Last
year 110 pairs of stockings, one of
them stuffed with presents. We're de-
livered in homes where they were
needed
This charitable work should not be
left entirely to the children. There
are many who might wish to Join in
the Christmas giving. The plan Is TO
furnish pair OF stockings suitable
for children's wear. One should be
filed with fruits, candy. nuts and a
toy. the other left untitled. If one
does not wish to go to the trouble of
filing stocking, small donation
may be made, and The stockings will
be purchased and filed by the Christ.

when filed will be turned over to the
