Taft Points Out Kind of Men for Col
lese Presidents.

Middletown, Conn.,, Nov. 12.-Presi-
dent Taft in his address at Wesleyan
university praised the small colleges.
1.-THE presidents of these institutions.
he said, had the greater advantage of
a closer personal touch with the stu
dent body and closer observation of
the growth of character of the young
sense responsible. I deprecate the
desire to increase every class in uni
versity," continued the president.
1.-THE desire to say that this freshmen
class is larger than last years, while II
may give pride for the moment serious
ly increases the burden of college ad-
ministration and brings about the
necessity of a search for money to meet
the added expenses.
1T has fallen to me at times to have
a share in selecting a college president
| and there has always been at such
| times the suggestion that what we
needed was a business man, a man who
knew the value of a dollars and how tC
get it-a man who would put the in
stitution on a business basis.
Il am glad to say that 1 always dis
scented from such an IDEAL I am no
attacking business men. but I believe
such men have their limitations and tina
these limitations are such as to exclude
them as college presidents.
1.-The college president first OF all i:
a teacher; that his his profession; anC
the university is a teaching institu
ton. If he is to do his duty by the
institution he must understand hcv
teaching should be done; he must be {
Ipedagogue.
THE college president must be E
man of executive ability; he must have
the power of selecting men for the work
they are to do

mometer on the State Journal again
today.
Tentative plans are today being dis
cussed with the expectation of or
ganizing "centers' tomorrow. in diff
ferent places where there are a num-
Der of girl employees, and with this
action it will be the further idea to
bring the Y. w. C. A. building fund
up to a high mark Immediately. The
campaign for funds will close Monday
night and during the time which will
elapse between now and then it is ex-
pected to raise the $4,000 yet needed.
From yesterday noon until today
noon $4,000 was subscribed, which
has swelled the fund to $35,573, which
leaves a trifie less than $3S,500 yet to
be raised. The centers which will
probably be organized will be after
the same manner of organization as at
the high school where late yesterday
girl students banded together to work
for the cause. The students were ad-
dressed by Miss Abbie McElroy of
Ottumwa, a., in the late afternoon af-
