CHARLES zUEBLIN
SPOKE AT COLLEGE.
INTERESTING TALKS ON "IHE NEW CIVIC
SPIRIT" HEARD LAST MONDAY BY
STUDENTS.
HIS ADDRESS IN PART.

lin formerly connected with
! Chicago University, but now of
Boston, was indeed a treat to
the college and citizens of Co
lumbus. Mr.. Zueblin spoke on
the campus on Monday afternoon
and again Monday evening in
the College chapel.
Mr.. Zueblin was connected
with the Chicago University but
became so thoroughly imbued
with the "New Civic Spirit"
that he resigned his place and is
now travelling and lecturing on
this subject.
He said in part:
Social evolution may be i'm
perceptible to the participants,
and yet the social ideals of the
new generation may be incom-
prehensible to the passing gen.
Grafton. This is notably true of
the new civic spirit. The new
spirit isinthe air. 1t hascome
rapidly.
Nothing will encourage US
more than too see what is being
done so that we may know that,
bad as we are better than we
were. The people who are NOV
ing the cities today are doing
more than they realize.
Twenty years ago there were
but three avenues for the citizen
who wanted to do good the
church, the school and charity.
And these were dismal to the
man who really had a love for
his fellowman. Respectable peo-
pie years ago were not supposed
to be interested in politics. But
today no right minded person
feels that a stigma is placed upon
him by entering politics. In
deed this is one of the most help
ful avenues for public service.
My confession of faith is that
one who wishes to serve his fell
lows mosc effectually and imme-
diately should go into politics.
Neither church or school offers
so large a field for benefitting
ones fellowman as politics. 1t
is the duty of every young man
and college settlement worker to
enter politics and seek some po-
litical office, no matter how small
it is. Any man who holds him.
self too good to go into politics,
but who would go into the
church, is not fit to go into
the church. Today there is a
new spirit in the church. It is
beginning to open its eyes and
talk about the vital things of
life. Under the great sweep of
revivalism people were so intent
on saving their own souls that
| they forgot the life of their
Ifellowmen. Today many are
giving almost their lives to the
people, although education and
opportunity differ materially.
For many years this nation has
been possessed with the idea that
it must make money. But civic
progress is coming as the nation
grows and there is leisure and
culture. There is no greater
work in social settlement en-
deavor than Hull House under
Miss Jane Adams, yet she took
her lesson from England in the
work which existed there a CEN
tury ago. We must still look to
England for satisfactory acts.
England has for years known
the half holiday on Saturday and
have made great strides for the
general betterment of their fac
tory workers. 1t has taken them
years to accomplish this, but
: their trade unions have given
; them large experience in organi-
zation, which they have installed
into their government.

TALKS ON
COLLEGE STANDARDS
A STUDENT COMMENTS ON REGENT
SPEAKERS AT THE INDUSTRIAL
INSTITUTE AND COLLEGE
STUDENT BODY RESPONDED

III the I6C6nI NiSlL VI LII. GIAl
and Miss Deaton, the Industrial
Institute and College has received !
a never-to-be forgotten inspira-
ton. Their wonderful presence
and their splendid talks of col
lege standards having given en-
couragement and practical aid in
the steps we are trying to take.
The student-body responded at
once to their appeal for the high
est standard and showed itself
earnestly desirous of making any
concession and every effort to-
ward bringing to pass the things
these splendid women have told
us are possible. They tell US
that the Southern Association of
Colleges will recognize our de-
grees only so soon as we meet
the very reasonable requirements
to which their listed schools al
ready conform. There are at
present in the Association only
four women's colleges-Ran-
dolph Macon, Agnes Scott,
Newcomb, and the Woman's
College of Baltimore. The grade
of work done in our college
would grant US equal rank with
these schools but we are de-
barred by two obstacles. For
one thing, we require eleven
units for entrance instead of the
fourteen which their ARTICLES i'm
pose. Now, the University of
Mississippi draws its material
from exactly the same source
that we do, namely, the State
high schools, and it requires the
prescribed fourteen units for
entrance. If the boys of the
State, on leaving the high
schools, are given the credit for
fourteen hours preparation, the
girls should indeed receive like
recognition for their high school
work. We can then comply with
that condition even as things
now stand. The one other step
necessary to put US in reach of
the goal is the separation of the
ldiscipline and the instruction of
the academic and the college
classes. 1t is thought.wise by all
educators that no teacher have
classes in both departments lest,
sooner or later, the classroom
method become either too aca-
demic for the college class or too
collegiate for the academic class.
The truth of this postulate is
readily accepted. On account of
| the size of our student body, we
have already been forced, in
measure. to conform to this sep
aration of faculty. 1t would be
a simple thing to make the sepa-
ration and the wisest thing for
both departments. And as for
the disciplinary difference-that
ought long ago to have been put
lin practice. The ladies dormi-
| tory regulations should not be
exacted of upper and under
class girls. A different dormi-
tory and different government
should not make the upper-class
girl one bit lofty, and it would
not. 1t would be an added in
centive to the academician to see
the greater privileges which ac-
company greater responsibilities.
When we do it, can we count on
Mississippi's support? Are all
loyal Mississippians as desirous
as we of seeing US gain credit
abroad for the work we are doing
in the State?

LETTER REGARDING
FIELD DAY.
PROF. JOE COOK WRITES LADIES OF
COLUMBUS IN REGARD TO EATABLES.
TWO THOUSAND VISITORS,


day will be Field Day, and it
will be held in Columbus. Last
year it was held in Tupelo and
we went there. The Tupolo peo-
pie treated us handsomely and
they made the meeting great
success although the day was a
rainy one. The Tupelo people
were so pleased with the meet
ing that they asked that it be
made an annual affair in TupelO.
Knowing that we have the big
gest town, the biggest school,
and as fine people as any place
has. / could not consent to that
arrangement.
They are coming. They are
coming to Columbus. And they
are coming 1000 strong. We
want to entertain them. The
entertainment will be a small
matter if we can touch all the
people, but this touching all the
people is big job-a great big
job. am doing my best, all the
teachers are doing their best,
and some forty ladies Of the city
are doing their best, but COlum-
bus is a pretty big town when
you try to see everybody. We
are trying to see everybody but
we know we can't do it. If you
are not called on, don't feel
slighted-fix up a basket; but, if
sou do feel slighted, take slight
cure-fx up a basket. Then let
me p one of the teachers know
that yoG have the basket and
give your street address.
Friday morning between 8 and
10 o'clock our boys with a wagon
will call for Iyour basket. This
collecting the baskets is another
big job. There are fifty miles
Of streets to be gone over. To
go over these and stop at every
house within two hours will take
ten wagons and forty boys. The
boys will work for the fun of the
thing but the wagons won't.
Time will be precious, therefore,
be ready, be ready, be ready.
Field Day is a big thing and it
takes some money also to bring
off a big thing. Last year at
Tupelo we charged every body
men, women and children-an
entrance fee. Then, notwith-
standing entertainment Tupelo
gave and the entrance fees, the
management had to put up
about fifty dollars. This year
we make everything free to
every child, and we expect the
grown folks to help US. Mr..
Whitfield is going to furnish
1900 pounds of meat and 1900
loves # bread-that is enough
for him-and we want you to
furnish a basket of cakes and
to buy tickets for the grown
folks. The management has
sent out more than ten thousand
circulars, written more than a
thousand letters, paid for many
telephone messages, paid the ex-
penses Of men to advertise the
meeting, and paid for many
little things too numerous tc
mention. 1t takes money to do
all this and we are going to have
the crowd here. Now, wheth-
er you expect to attend the ex-
ercises or not. when you are
asked to buy a ticket why,
smile and pay for it.
Ladies, we need cakes, pies,
and custards. Make some, put
them in your basket. 'Tis true
that the girls will eat a lot Of
pickle, but the boys like sweets
and their appetites are good. If
you will put in a cake in addi-
ton to the pickle, we will appre-
ciate it. Field Day comes but
once a year. 1t will not come to
Columbus again for ten years.
Let's make the children have a
good time.
Cordially yours.

MOST timely and important OF the
1vA exhibits now being shown BY the
New York Historical Society IN their
new house at Sev-enty-seventh street n
Ger trail Park west are the drawings,
plans and specifications once the prop
erty of Robert Fulton. which We're
loaned. by the New Jersey Historical
Society. But for this oar the New

tent itself with its Fulton paintings and
= few small drawings. and as he eX-
l1ihition was primarily inspired by the
centennial of Fulton's achievement its
Fulton showing must have been made
Qlsate but for the courtesy of the his
terieal society of the sister State.
Newarkers la had the opportunity
to examine these wonderful records left
by the inventor of the steamboat, as
they are, kept in the building of the
New Jersey Society in West Park
street. but to those who have never
awaited themselves of this opportunity
the aee to examine the Jersey
drawings in their new and temporary
setting is an unusual one. as the ex-

Wonderfully significant, these plates
of a century ago, %prcsaging as they dc
steam, but that era when war is to be-
come too dangerous to endure. In a
complacent modern fashion the sub
marine boat and the torpedo boat has
been assumed to be products of mod-
ern times, but this exhibition proves
thai the man who invented the steam
boat was already busily engaged IN en-
~deavoring to work out models Cor its
destruction In time OF war.
Some of the other drawings in the
Fulton collection are the quaint and
crude precursors of the plans upon
which the Clermont was finally sue
cessfully built. They include a copy
of the patent of John Fitch, signed Au-
gust 26, 1891, and certified by James
Madison, Secretary of State; petitions,
references, specifications and drawings

and many others of an interesting kind.
This Fulton collection was presented
to the New Jersey Historical Society
by Solomon Alofsen, formerly secretary
of h Netherlands legation and a one-
time enthusiastic member of the So
ciety.
