PRESIDENT MAIN, OF GRlNNELL,
SAYS -RAkER HAS
PROVED HIS POINT.
WEAKNESSES OF COLLEGES
AND THEIR EFFECTIVENESS
President Main Shows College Bred
Man Superior, But May Be Produced
at Too Great Expense-NotabIe Ad-
dress Before Educational Association
at Denver.

! Denver, Col July S.-"The college
muck-raker has said, and has proved
his point, that college education today
is chiefly notable for its ineffective
of Iowa College, Grinnell, Iowa, in an
address before the department of high
er education of the National Education
Association, today But like all epi-
| grammatic statements, this is not the
only thing that can be said and proved
about college education. 1t may also
be shown that it is the most effective
method in existence for acquainting
men with the world and making them
| efficient agents in it.
The college bred man is, under
normal conditions the superior man,
but he may be produced at too great
| expense when we consider all the time
and labor and money spent upon him.
Efficiency has definite relation to
cost of production.
| Lack of efficiency in college educa-
ton is largely due to absence of inner
community life in our colleges. This
| is due to diversity of interests culti-
waited by the elective system, the large
and rapidly growing number of courses
offered, the absence OF a definite con-
trolling purpose in the institution as g
whole, the professional and technical
methods that TOO often characterize
the work. the absence of a relation
ship between teacher and pupil on 6
personal basis. and finally the absence
Of genuine desire for unified spiri
and life.
ITO correct this condition there mus
first Of all be a genuine desire for in.
ner-community life. "A strong purpose
looking to this end will achieve it
There must be an institutional spirit
developed by strong personalities ir
administrative and teaching positions
There must be organization of the cleo.
tive system in such a way as to secure
unity of spirit, particularly in lowe,
classes. The, college must at times
work as a college on the intellectual
and spiritual side, as we'll as on the
side of athletics and general activities
In the modern college the problem is a
difficult one, but when we determine t
solve it we can do So"

innovation Promises to Become

Boone, July s.-Rev Mr.. Ritz, pas
tor of the Christian church and Incl
dentally one of the most interesting
speakers in the city, has started some
thing in his church which promises
to make his place of worship one of, if
not the most attractive places of wor-
ship in town, especially to the men
of avoirdupois. The Rev. Mr. Ritz has
publicly announced that all men who
come to his services when the weather
is so warm can remove their coats and
sit in their shirt sleeves to listen to
his sermons. The idea Of sitting an
hour or so in church on warm Sun
day evenings, with warm coats on has
not been looked upon with favor by
many men, and the Rev. Mr.. Ritz knew
that there were many men who re-
manned away from church services
Sunday evenings because the out of
door life was cooler and muck more
comfort able. He has therefore, given
them an opportunity of attending his
services without their coats, and will
set them an example if necessary.

causes overfows above the bridges on
