STUDENTS Of HOWARD
URGED TO HIGH IDEALS
District School Officials Speak
at Opening of University's
Fall Term.

Supt. William NJ. Davidson, and Asst.
Supt. ROSCOE c. Bruce, both officials
of the public schools Of the District of
Columbia. addressed the students of
Howard University in the formal open
ing service in the. chapel of the uni
versity this morning. The presence of
both officials was the signal for pro-
longed applause from the students and
DR.. Thrkield. president of Howard Uni
versity Especially significant were the
remarks of Dr.. Thirkield, who gave to
Mr.. Bruce full credit for the excellent
preparation of the public school students
who have entered the university in the
past few years.
Directed to High Ideals.
Dr. Davidson's speech was one framed
to uplift the student mind to high ideals
of culture and achievement, and he had
a special message for the students who
are planning to go into the work of
teaching.
Looking at one of the big memorial
windows of the chapel, the design of
which is copy of a well known ideal
istic painting of Sir Galahad, DR.. David
son said:
Il hope that the students will grasp the
meaning and the message in that win
dow. for the spirit of Sir Galahad is
spirit of purity, and with it the student
body can do great things 1t is well to
remember, too, that you will get out of
your student life only what you put into
it. If YOU put into it the spirit of Sir
Galahad. you will get that purity and
spirit out again. There are high ideals
which the president and the faculty of
your university are trying to show you;
they are trying to teach you to appre-
ciate the better things Of life. Speaking
to you as teacher. l can show you to-
day a great army of teachers. half
million, dedicated to the service of chill
dren. Statesmen everywhere exalt the
teacher. and while We praise the student
it might be we'll for the world to stop
moment to praise the teacher
Tradition of Achievement.
Mr.. Bruce's talk was principally along
the line of achievement. He said in part:
The continuity Of the race, of which
you and l are members. depends on a
tradition of achievement. Our best men
should give their best endeavors to do
great things. and it would be we'll to
study the great families of this country
who have had man after man do great
things. simply because of a tradition of
achievement.
Every student should get a proper
conception of culture. The old idea that
culture was confined to the individual
making the effort has now given way
to the dynamic idea Of culture which can
be expressed only in terms of service to
the state"

SEE THE WORLDS END
IN BATTLE AGAINST TURK
Seventh Day Adventists Have
Keen Interest in Conflict
in Near East.

The dismemberment of the Turkish
empire among the powers OF Europe
means as much to the Seventh Day Ad-
ventists as it does to Turkey" said Rev.
s &. Russell of that denomination today.
AS a consequence the members of the
General. Conference at Takoma Park are
taking an unusual interest in the reports
of the operations of Italy against the
Turks. They are literally eating every
item of information that reaches this
country and studying its import in re-
lation to their views of prophecy as
these events affect the approaching end
Of the world.
In explaining the matter Rev Mr.. Rus
sell said: According to our interpreta-
ton of the language contained in the
eleventh chapter of the prophecy OF
Isaiah. the driving of the Turk out of
Europe. plainly foretold there, marks the
beginning of the series of evil days which
will end the world. and inaugurate the
millennium. The words of the prophet are
that the sultan shall be driven from his
seat of empire and there shall be none
to give him aid

Is Suggested.

Establishment of a bureau of public health,
which many influential medical men
throughout the country say they want to
see separate department, with the head
a member of the Presidents cabinet.
Secretary Wilson wants to- get the bu-
reau Of chemistry out of the Department
of Agriculture. OF course, the depart
istry. but its work would be along quite
different lines from the enforcement of
the pure food law. The enforcement of
that law has absorbed so large part of
the bureaus activities and has made such
large calls on the time of the Secretary
that there is increasing determination on
the part Of Secretary Wilson to solve the
problem by having the bureau of chem
istry transferred to a different depart
ment If possible. 1t is understood that
DIR. Wiley would not offer any serious OBJ
lection to such move
Secretary Wilson's Views.
Secretary Wilson said today that what
he wanted was more time to attend to
crop raising and developing the purely
agricultural features of the department,
and that he did not feel inclined to spend
as mulch time on the pure food law as it's
proper enforcement demanded because he
did not feel that it was properly the work
of the Department of Agriculture.
AS the law stands. the pure food law is
to be enforced by the Department of
Agriculture. but the public health and
marine hospital service has all the facil-
ties for work of this sort, and it is held
that the pure food work comes more
properly within its province. At the COM
ing session of Congress. therefore. an eff
fort will be made to have this branch of
the department transferred to the marine
hospital service. Here it will be in its
natural environment, with larger per-
sonnet and a much wider field of work.
Solicitor McCabe returned to the De-
partment of Agriculture today after a
months vacation. He did not confirm
the report that If the bureau of chemistry
were moved he would seek transfer with
it In order to remain in personal touch

Says Faith Is at Stake.

I'VE believe that this course of history
will ultimately be followed, and We are
waiting only to see whether the attack by
Italy on Turkey will start the dismember-
ment of the Turkish empire.
ITO show you how much the Seventh
Day Adventists have at stake We have
been advocating for many years that
this division of Turkish territory among
the powers would take place. 1t is the
one thing which Will settle our position,
in our own minds and make our argument
strong before the world that the end of
things as they now exist is Fastening on.
| may say that if the division Of Turkey
does take place as result of the opera
tons by Italy and that if the evil days
foretold in prophecy do not come upon
mankind our denomination may as we'll
go out of business, for its professions and
theories then have been proved wholly
vain
