Gossip.

In an address to a confirmation
class in Washington last week, Card
inal Gibbons read the young people
a lecture on intemperance, not only
on intemperance in drink, but also
intemperance In language, and par
tlcularly the intemperance of gossip
As quoted, he said:
Girls, do not gossip. / am sure you
are not likely to be Incorporate In the
use OF strong drink. but idle gossip is
intemperance of the grossest sort /
beseech you not TO spend your spare
time in gossip about your friends or
acquaintance 1t Il unklnd and cruel.
This advice of the eminent church
man deserves to be taken home
everywhere. The evil Of gossip is
altogether too common and prevail
ent. II is not confined to girls, nor
to women, for many men are also
prone to gossip. Where gossip con-
sists of peddllng suspicious and in
nuendoes, in exaggerating petty do
ings into ominous acts. in passing
along hearsay tales and touching
them up in transit, 1t is a most in
sidious force for evil. II is all the
more inexcusable and despicable be-
cause the victim has no opportunity
for self-defense, but is stabbed in the
darS, as 1t were, and the damage
done can seldom be repaired. The
cardinals injunction against gossip
should be repeated and reiterated by
every preacher and teacher in the
land

The highest service our colleges
and universities can render is the
production of good citizens. If they
can do that they will come up to the
level they should reach. President
Vincent, the new executive of the
University of Minnesota, seems to hit
the nail on the head when he says
The university should aim to serve
the commonwealth through individ-
uals rather than to offer personal
privileges and advancement to a few
at state expense. Many people for
get that state universities are main
tanned by public money. Has not the
taxpayer-the state-therefore, a
right to demand the worth of his
money? And how is he to get that
except in well-rounded product, a
young man ready and prepared to
take up a useful part in the great
scheme of American citizenship?
The times are beset with reforms
and agitation. The reforms are
chiefly moral. That is why they
cannot be so easily achieved by leg

tations and penalties. Men are not
made honest or just by law. The
state must depend for the civic bet
torment 1t seeks on the schools and
the universities, along with the home
and the church. Most men will ad-
NIT, in discussing this social abuse,
or that moral reform, that the goal

process of education. Our schools
