URGES MORE ENTHUSIAST.
Not Enough Interest in Vital Cues.
tions, Says DR.. Reed.

Taking as his subject, Enthusiasm
and Enthusiasts" DR.. George Edward
Reed, president of Dickinson College,
spoke for more than an hour last night
to the invited guests of the Brotherhood
of Waugh NJ. f. Church, Sd and A
streets northeast. Among the guests were
the local alumni of Dickinson, who greet
ed DIR. Reed with the college cry. Among
the older of the alumni present were
James Pede Marshall, class of 1856. and
Samuel Eagle Forman, class of 1887.
DIR. Reed intimated that the average
American takes it as a personal affront
to be termed an enthusiast. and said that
Americans. as a class, are not as enthu-
siastic as they are commonly supposed to
be- The average American shows lack of
interest in the vital questions of the day.
DIR. Reed thought the fact that q tenth
of the voters are paid from two to thirty
dollars apiece To compel them to exercise
their right Of suffrage showed sad lack
not only of enthusiasm, but OF patriotism
DR.. Reed called attention to the need
of deep thinkers. who would identify
themselves with an organization, political,
religious or for civic righteousness, with
souls kindled to such an extent that they
would give their all, IL necessary, to ac-
complish the particular need.
DIR. Reed held an informal reception.

effort to persuade the government to
sink ship in the Potomac river so that

and floats on the surface of the water,
with a dozen buoyant life preservers at
tached SO that any wreck victims may
find at least temporary safety. A bell is
attached TO the top of the buoy, So that
