Sometimes. when we notice how
thin are the RANKS Of our upper
classes. we confess to misgivings as
to whether we are getting the value
we ought from our expenditure for
education. But, in this field, results
are Slow in manifesting themselves.
Perhaps it is just here that we are
offered an opportunity to exercise
faith. We must believe that time
will show that we are getting value
IN the happiness and prosperity of
the people at large and in the pro-
duction of the great men whose
Towering seems to be almost the
flnal purpose Of human existence.
In time our courses will be more
practical and their appeal will reach
larger number. Meanwhile, we
must look for the good in courses
that seek general culture through
dlsinterested studies studies that
have no bread and -butter aims. We

portion as his daily life must plunge

After passing this farm it turned
straight east for half-mile; thence
going due north for about two miles;
then turning east again. AS it

from the track it ended. 1t missed

done was to snow-fences where it
