sTEFegNs PRAISES WISCONSIN

What the brain is to man s hands,
feet, and eyes, the University of Wis
consin is to the people of the state: the
instructive recourse for information,
light, and guidance writes Lincoln
Steffens in an article in the February
number of the American Magazine de-
scriptive of the work that the uni
versity is doing for the state, and en-
titled Sending State to College -
'1n Wisconsin the university is as
close to the intelligent farmer as his
pig-pen or MS tool house," continues
the writer. The university labora-
tories are "a part Of the alert manufac-
turer' $ piztuC, 70 the worker, the uni
versity Is craving nearer than the
school around the corner, and is as
much his as his union is his, or his
faTorite saloon. Creeping into the
minds OF children with pure seeds; into
the debates OF the youth with pure
facts; into the opinions of the voters
with impersonal expert knowledge, the
state university is coming to be a part
Of the citizen own mind, just as the
state is becoming part of his will.
The University of Wisconsin is a high
ly conscious lobe of the common COM
munity's mind of the state Of the peo-
pie of Wisconsin.
1.-The University of Wisconsin is
offering to teach anybody, anything,
anywhere" writes Mr.. Steffens, after
describing the work of the correspon-
dence department, the farmers and
housekeepers' courses, and other
methods by which the institution is
reaching people who can not come to
Madison for instruction. Breaking
the bounds of Madison, the University
is also breaking the bounds Of that old
definition of university, and setting
up new idea for education. The
characterization of knowledge is in
sight at the University of the People
of the State of Wisconsin,.
The University of Wisconsin is
rapidly gaining such a place in public
confidence that it will soon be able to
accomplish what it consciously plans
to do: distribute scientific knowledge
and the clear truth in plain terms to
all the people for their self cultivation

IF JESUS WE'RE a CITIZEN

Eighteen thousand young people of

The move is spreading. Other cities
are taking it up. A host of people

with Him.
1t is a fine thing. 1t is a healthful
thing when Christians recognize that
they are not quite living up to their
divine Exemplar, and organize for real
applied Christianity.
Most of US live individually on vast

the individually Christian life has been
pretty we'll worked out.
To accomplish that is to do no more
than has been done by holy men and

The sporting editor of the Journal
in a profound article in last weeks
issue, tells why men do not attend
church He says it is all because the
preachers are not mixers" That
argument can easily be refuted with
out going outside of the county for an
example. We have in mind a preacher
who is mixer" if there ever was
one. He always has a pleasant word
or a joke for every lumber jack, rail
road man, saloon keeper, = in fact
everybody he meets. Ali who know
him hail him as good fellow; and yet
his audiences are not notable for the
number of men in attendance The
reason men do not attend church is be-
cause there are too many influences at
work for the express purpose of keep
ing them away from the church. And
whenever a preacher makes an effort
to combat these influences, they unite
in condemning him and seek to drive
him from the community.

Little Mishap to an Automobile Wag-
on Easily Set Right.
Not so many things happen to auto
mobiles now as once did, but evez so
not all mishaps are as easily and
quickly adjusted as was this one.
Going around a corner the drive
chain on one side OF an automobile
delivery wagon came off the rear
sprocket, a mishap which the driver
almost instantly discovered. When
the wagon stopped the man with the
driver picked up pair Of gloves and
Jumped off and ran around to the
wheel from which the chain had drop
ped.
He lifted up the chain and set two
or three links Of it over as many teeth
of the fr0w2rd part Of the spr0cket
wheel, end holding the chain there he
called to the driver;
Back her"
And the driver backed gently, the
man holding the chain, and in mo-
ment the chain clicked back all right
on the sprocket wheel.
That sounds good to muh," said
the man, and then he ran around and
climbed to his place on the wagon
seat again and the next moment the
outfit was again On it's way.

But in these days there is no Caesar
to whom legions of soldiers force us to

streets from our children and from the
women who cannot vote, we partake

gas and smoke, or set up corporations
to kill men and women in factories or

mandment, Thou shalt not kill.
We are not as good as the early
Christians unless we are better. We
have responsibilities which they knew
not of. The social obligation, the
common property, the collective mind,

Would He keep out of politics?
Would He consent to the monopoly
of land while men went voorhees,?
Would He accept poverty as hope
less and remediless?
Would He be willing to keep the
poor always with us, merely because in
the past they have been ever-present-

COLOR MUSEUMS DEMAND.

Beautiful Stuffs Being Thrown Away
Whose Remnants VIII Cost Dear.
A novel suggestion was put forward
at yesterdays international art con-
gress at the Victoria and Albert Muse
UNI by Mr. Alexander Millar, promin-
ent manufacturer and designer, who
urged the need for systematic color
training and recommended the estab-
lishment of color museums This idea
he explained had received SYM
pathetic support from many great art
lists In every educational center and
in every school there should be col
lectiOns Of objects selected for their
beauty Of color alone There should
be analytic color sections showing
the color scheme apart from the ac-
cidents of form and shadow.
The collection. continued Mr.. Millar,
need not be very costly Why should
not a beginning be made by making
selection from the beautifully colored
textiles which appear from time to
time in shop windows? The expense
would be very small. Year by year
beautiful stuffs were being produced
and allowed to drop into Oblivion. If
such a collection be not formed now
it might be that one hundred years
hence our museum authorities would
buy at a fancy price a collection of
imperfect fragments of the very stuffs
which could be now acquired for
nominal sum.
He spoke of what he knew when he
said that such a collection would be
heartily welcomed by all designers
and by every one connected with arts
and industries in which color played
an important part.

WHAT EDUCATION Is

Education does not mean teaching
people to know what they do not
know. 1t means teaching them to be-
have as they do not behave. 1t is not
teaching the youth the shapes of let
ters and the tricks Of numbers and
then leaving them to turn their arith-
metic to roguery and their literature
to lust. 1t is, on the contrary, train
ing them into the perfect exercise of
kingly confluence of their bodies and
souls. 1t is a painful, continual, and
difficult work, to be done by kindness,
by watching, by warning, by precept,
and praise, but above all, by exam
pie.

Proof of japanese Enthusiasm.

The spectators at wrestling matches
in Japan pelt the winner with their
hats. This is a custom with the Jap
anese for showing their appreciation
of the skill of the winner The hats
are gathered UP by the attendants and
handed to the champion
Eventually the owners come for
ward and redeem their hats with pres
ents of various kinds. The custom in
question is, it is explained, due to a
recognition of the fact that enthusi-
asm is likely to cool down shortly
after the event which excited it is
passed. SO to prove the genuine
ness of his admiration the Jap gives
his hat as pledge, to be redeemed in
his cooler moments.
