A WORD FROM NC HONE

Ned McHone has started down the
railroad track, looking after Citizen
subscribers, and the way reports are
coming In from him he is finding
lots of friends. He is certainly do
ing a good business, and 1t is a fact
that The Citizen seems to be more
popular with the people than ever
before. The editor might mention
that this is a great qualification to
him, for he has been working pretty
hard to make The Citizen a paper
for the mountain people, and to prove
that he is devoted to their interests,
and when he sees that people are
beginning to appreciate this It en-
courages him nightly. Mr.. McHone
on his last trip spoke warmly of the
nice genteel way he was treated by all
the people. He spoke particularly of
his visit to Mr.. l. s. Bowles, of Green
hall and his sang garden, which he
said was like nothing he had ever
seen before, and was well worth see
ing. He reminds his friends that he
is still on the road for The Citizen
and will be for a long time, and he
wants to see as many of them as
possible.

PRES. FROST STILL DETAINED BY
ILLNESS

For the first time in seventeen
years Pres. Frost was absent at the
opening Of the fall term. Everything
had been so carefully planned that the
things moved off exactly as though
he were here, except that we missed
his personal touch and words Of cheer
and welcome.
A good many people have wonder
ed why Pres. Frost did not do this,
and why Pres. Frost did not do that,
not realizing the vast burdens he
carries all the time, and the extra
load imposed by the Adjustment
Fund, the concrete walks, the new
heating plant and other things. At
last he has been forced to stop. The
doctors say he will come back all
right, but they do not say when.
The work of the school and the new
buildings started will go forward, but
the Institution will be forced to the
utmost economy until its chief pro-
moter is again at the helm.
The teaching force is larger than
ever this fall, and Mrs. Frost is hold
ing the fort at the Presidents House.

WHICH ARE YOU LlKEp

Thirty years ago / knew a boy who
was very fond of music and had unus-
ual ability. For years he figured on
developing his talent. Each year he
planned to go away to school the
next year. but always he let some
thing prevent him and each succeed
ing year his determination was just
a little weaker than the preceding
year. Thirty-one years have passed.
He no longer enjoys even the hope
OF his early ambition. He suffers
the sorrow OF a lost opportunity. The
talent which might have made him
very happy and useful has made him
miserable and his life a failure. He
would be better off today had he not
been born with any possibilities in
music or desire for it.
He is staying on a farm Il could
not say farming neither could !
say livingl Ills life is not satisfactory
to himself, to his family nor to the
world in general. Last summer when
he should have been blowing his corn
he was footing a horn. 1t is need
less to say that both the corn and
the horn footing were failures. Nei-
Their were supporting his family.
Twenty-Five years ago knew boy
of nineteen who had desire to teach.
He felt he should have a college
training. His plan was to teach
country school until he had money
enough to carry him thru school with
out any break in his schooling, This
plan he carried out graduating from
college in his thirty-fourth year. AZ

OUR PICTURE THIS WEEK

We are printing at the top of our
first page this week photograph
showing a scene such as has been
enacted in hundreds of families this
fall as the children have started to
Berea to school. Such scenes are still
going on daily In many places, as
the belated starters get under way.
While there is a sadness in seeing the
home ties break. as they are breaking
here, it can be seen from the faces
that there is a gladness about It,
too, for the children are going to the
place where they can make the best
of themselves, and where their par
ents highest hopes and ambitions are
In a fair way TO be fulfilled. They
are leaving home, to be sure, but
leaving for the sake of something
which they all know will bring great
usefulness and happiness all thru
life. and so. after all, there is no
in the parting tears.

0UOulu lNVN OC tWlooCOs
With Berea College in session for a
full week, 1t is possible to see the
large growth which has taken place
over the fall term Of last year. On
Tuesday night last there had paid
their term bills for entrance 645 stu
dents, while a year ago at the same
time there we're 557, a gain for the
day OF lightweight. 1t is worth no.
ting, too, that the start has been
better In other ways, and everything
is going off smoothly. Glasses have
started well, there has been less time
than usual lost over assignments, and
the years work is already splendidly
under way. Every student who ought
to have been here and is not, has
suffered distinct loss.
Many of the teachers are dIsappoint-
ed, however. that there are not more
students on hand for the beginning.
The College has to be built large en-
ough to handle the thousand or more
who come In the winter, and there is
room for that many right now. The
boarding hall, the chapel, library and
class rooms are all run on the scale
OF thousand students. and there is
room for that many.
Il is hard to know that there are
so many young people who ought TO
be here, and who could be here, and
who could be very well taken care OF
II they were here, who have stayed
home because of laziness OF inertia,
or maybe some better reason, but
who still have stayed home. II any
see this paper We hope II will re-
mind them to think carefully Of the
great opportunity they are missing.
and that they will quickly make up
their minds and start.
The teachers and other college Off
cials win do all they can to take care
OF those who come late. They will do
their best to give them just as good
term as II they had been here at
the start, and will make special ef-
forts to help them catch up. And,
while II Is true that late conner will
not be as well off as those who we're
here first, still II is even more
true that they will be much better
off than those who stayed at home.
and than they would have been II
they had stayed home themselves.
We have spoken many times OF the
advantages Of the fall term, of get
ting a better start, having more OF the
teachers time. having better choice Of
rooms and ali such advantages. No
one can fully appreciate them till
they get here, and then they will
find that those advantages are larg-
err than we could tell or they could
expect. For any one who is able to
benefit by an education. and who can
come. as almost any one can. 1t is
the worst possible mistake TO remain
away, and one that will cost a great
deal through life.

ence It viii make-we hope every
one will read that story. And then
we hope that all who can will come

BLUE GRASS PENNANT:-T
pennant for the Blue Grass Baseball
League this year went to Winchester,
the latter winning over Richmond on
a queer fluke. On the last day on
which a game could be played in
the pennant race, both Winchester
and Richmond had one game to
play. If Richmond won and Winches-
ter lost, they would be tied for the
pennant. Richmond won, all right,
but Winchester was prevented by
rain from finishing the game she
had on with Paris, and in which she
seemed likely to get beaten. Rich
mond has protested on the ground
that bonuses were paid by the Win
chester management for other teams
to defeat Richmond. Richmond was
game to the end, and gave her team
a fine send off when it broke up.
