A Double Shasta Daisy.

1t is said that Luther Burbank has a
double Shasta daisy. This acquisition
is merely matter of selection which
anyone may obtain by pursuing the
proper method In the writer's gar
den. one of these daisies has 'Sprouted,
becoming scmi-double. having twice the
number of petals possessed by the com
mon type OF Shasta daisy. The pro
~pects are good for obtaining a still
more double form by sowing seeds from
this plant. all the flowers of which are
alike. Seeds repeatedly sown from
the most double flowers will finally
bring the desirable. Nearly all the
double flowers we grow were obtained
merely by selected.-Los Angeles Times

COACH ROPER.

Hundreds OF students are journeying
out to Rollins field to get a glimpse OF
Coach W. w Roper. Daily he is be-
ing weighed in the balance by under
graduates and professors who have
found other football coaches wanting.
Every movement, every gesture:
every word that Roper uttcrs is broken
off short Whether he is STOPPING to
show the center how to pass the ball
or explaining Il signal to halfback the
effect upon the watcher is almost a

grace which fitted so well with the soft

Sports in Ireland.

The sport in Ireland is most attrac-
tive. the hunting and fishing. the shoot
ing of grouse and woodcock-again with
a wilder note than in England. The
IriShman boasts that within ten miles
of Dublin YOU can catch a trout, shoot
Il grouse. and hunt a fox The people
enter into the spirit of sport right
heartily. little too heartily perhaps
for their material welfare, and one
hears all sorts of quaint stories about
the sporting enthusiasm: for instance,
OF a village baker who kept pack OF
hounds and used to transport them to
meets in his bread cart: The Irish
are broad-minded people, and in the
interests of sport the people of that
village tolerated touch of doggy fla
vor in their bread
1t is the keenness of this sporting
spirit. among other things, which to
my mind makes it undesirable to Join
with that section which would abolish
all the woods and cut even the barren
moors up into small farms. I don't
think the Irish people would be happy
under those circumstances. They want
some fun in life, as well as good crops
of potatoes and good yields of milk
and the sporting spirit seems part OF
the national character. 1t would be a
sad day for Ireland when there was nc
longer covert for fox. a stretch OF
heather for the grouse, copse for the
woodcocks. The people must be settled
on the land, certainly, but, with good
tilth. the land could support at least
four times its present population with
out taking steps which would spoil its
beauty.-London Mail.

THE STUDENTS OBLIGATIONS.

The Students Obligations is the
title of an address delivered by George
F. Parker. lately United States Consul
in birmingham England. on September
%. at the opening OF the fall term OF
the State University OF Iowa. In this
address Mr.. Parker points out that
mental training fails to Justify its
claims if it does not enable men to
mark some OF the known pitfalls OF
life. and that it is to the trained mind
that we must look for leading the
masses
Mr. Parker speaks with much praise
of the old pioneer methods of educa-
ton in which strong individuality was
developed by meeting stern response
bilities, but he does not approve the
modern way through which the student
is allowed to follow his own devices and
to take the line OF least resistance. He
SAYS that the mechanical element has
entered so largely into the educational
that the road of the student has been
made too smooth.
Mr. Parker makes clear that as our
civilization advances our social. eco
nomic and political problems become
more complex and that the intellectual
growth of mankind must keep pace
with Sr,h advancement in order to
solve these problems. He expresses his
belief that the peril of the times Is
dependence which works hardships upon
all mankind. promoting fraud and filling
iails and poorhouseS. In concluding.
Mr.. Parker lays special emphasis upon
thinking-a duty cncumbent upon every
educated American. No drifting must
be tolerated but real hard sailing
against the tide And when one has
wandered from the known path in
search OF shorter way only to find
himself lost, the best way is to steer
back To the beginning. Ii the student
has not been able to profit from the
study of the past. he will be OF little

THE NEW BUILDING.

After long years of waiting, the new
home for the Y. NJ C. A. is at last
finished, and occupied. The work that
will be done by the new institution, the
influence that it will have upon the life
of the community and the good that it
will do remain to be seen.
That there is great field for the
work of such an organization is denied
by no one and that the field to be COW

good for the students and for the Uni

Is at last in such home and under
such efficient management.
1t is. however. regrettabe that such
IA good undertaking. such an influence
for good should start its career bur
dened with unpaid debts accumulated
in the struggle to start into existence
before the necessary contributions
could be collected. 1t is hoped that
this indebtedness will not long burden
the institution and that its good in the
community will grow each day.
