PERILS OF NATION ARE
POINTED OUT TO GREAT
AUDIENCE BY ARCHBISHOP

KANSAS CITY, No., Nov. 1s.-In an
address to 5000 people in Convention hall
hero last night Archbishop John j. Glen
non of st. Louis declared that divorce,
Socialism and apartment houses were
the great perils that beset the American
nation.
THE modern city dweller has become
something like the cliff dweller in the
puebIos of the west" said the Rev. Mr..
Glennon. 'The apartment house, what
ever its advantage, Is not and cannot be-
come home. A wife is admitted to
them and possibly parrot. but wife
and n parrot do not constitute "A family,
no more than an apartment constitutes
home"
Speaking of divorces. the archbishop
said that "eyery divorce granted and
every divorce law written is challenge
to Almighty God-that men can make
better laws than he"

TAFT IS GIVEN
DOCTOR'SDEGREE
PRESIDENT is H0N0RED BY
WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY
SAYS COLLEGE HEADS SHOULD
NOT BE DOLLAR MEN"
"First of All He Should Be a Teacher"
Declares Man Whose Home
Is in the White
House

MIDDLETOWN, Conn, Nov. H.
President Taft arrived here from New
Haven today to attend the installation
of DR.. William Arnold Shanklin as
president of Wesleyan university.
At the installation President Tafts
address, which he delivered extempo-
raneously, came next to last on the
long program. international educators
and professors and university prest-
dents from all parts of the country at
tended.
The degree of doctor of laws was
conferred on President Taft, Vice Pres
ident Sherman, Senator Root, Elmer
Brown, United States commissioner OF
education; Bishop William Burt of the
Methodist Episcopal church, and Dean
Samuel Hart of Berkeley divinity
schools
President Taft in his address praised
the small colleges. The presidents of
these institutions, he said, had the
greater advantage of closer personal
touch with the student body and closer
observation of the growth of young
men.
II deprecate the desire to increase
every class in a university" said the
president The desire to say that this
years freshman class is larger than
last years, while 1t may give pride for
the moment, seriously increases the
burden of college administration and
brings about the necessity for a search
for money to meet the added expenses.
ut has fallen to me at times to have
a share in selecting a college president
and there always has been at such
time the suggestion that what we need
ed was a business man, a man who
knew the value of a dollar, and how to
get it-a man who put the institution
on business basis. I am glad to say
that i always dissented from such an
idea. am not attacking business men,
but I believe such men have their linn
itations, and that these limitations are
such as to exclude them as college
presidents.
1.-THE college president, first of all, is
a teacher; that is his profession, and
the university is teaching institution.
If he is to do his duty by the institu
tion he must understand how teaching
should be done, he must be a peda-
gogue.
1.-The college president must be man
Of executive ability; he must have the
power OF selecting men for the work
they are to do"

insane He is just mean"

charge of completely in the robbery.
