SUPT. WRIGHT RETURNS
FROM PARK CONFERENCE

Richard Wright, the present acting
superintendent of the Mesa Verde Ma
tional park, was caller at this plant
this morning and related most in
teresting story of his trip through the
Yellowstone park, where he has just
been in attendance at meeting held
by the officials of the department.
Mr.. Wright was accompanied on the
trip by Mr.. Shoemaker, the newly ap-
pointed superintendent of the Mesa
Verde park, and who will take the
place on October first, but who, at the
close of the meeting, went on to Sc
attic to visit sister at that place.
Mr.. Wright was appointed as act
ing superintendent of the Mesa Verde
park at the time Of the dismissal of
Superintendent Randolph, which oc-
CURED last spring. He has had full
charge of the work of repairing the
ruins of the cliff dwelers homes and
of the work of constructing roads lead
ing to the park, and has been very
thorough in his work and the new
official will step into the position un-
hampered by unfinished business or an
inheritance of trouble brought about,
as is so often the case, by incompe-
tence and neglect.
Mr.. Wright will go to Hot Springs,
Ark, and take charge of the govern
ment's interests there during the win
ter and expects, in the coming spring,
to go to the Glacial park, in north
ern Montana, where he will have full
charge.

Judge GrossCup Resigns
and Tells How SIeuthS
Have Dogged Him

Western Press.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept. 20.-Follow-
ing the formal announcement yester-
day by United States Circuit Judge
Pete S. Grosscup that he would resign
from the federal bench he has con.
firmed today report that he had been
under surveillance for two years by
some unfriendly agency whose motive
he could not give. He said he had
nothing to conceal from the public
and that the shadowing did not cause
him to resign. His motive was more
for personal and political freedom, he
said.
The man who directed this inquiry
is Lawrence Richie, former opera
tor in the government secret service.
He has done little else for two years,
and either he or his agents during that
period have dogged Judge Grosscup's
every step. So persistent was the pur-
suit that when the judge went abroad
year ago last spring he was not
allowed to go alone. A shadow" fol-
lowed him all the way to Europe and

Manual Labor Conditions
and Pay

Berea College is conducted like
family, and expects to have all its necessary
work done by students, under direction OF
their teachers. This is so arranged as not to
hinder study or proper recreation and no
student will be required to do more than
seven hours manual work a week.
A student makes reputation, and
gains in skill and character as much in his
manual labor as in any study in books.
For those who desire to earn as much
as possible, the College provides all the
work it can, but no student can do more than
Is hours of manual work a week without
dropping some part of his studies. The
Dean of Labor is to see to it that no student
is paid for any labor except such as has been
assigned by his dean.
Each student is paid according to the
value OF the work he does.
Assignments to labor are made by the
Dean OF Labor. Each student not residing with
his parents is assigned to some superintend-
ent of labor and meets his appointments reg
ularly as he meets his teacher in class.
The College may not have enough la
Dor for all in the winter term, and those not
assigned to work may be assigned to gymna-
stun practice
During labor students must engage in
no play, and in no conversation which inter-
feres with their work.
Students are not to be considered at
work except when they have laid aside gar
ments which would be injured by perspira
tion and put ON attire suitable for their la,
Dor. Aprons, overall suits and work shoes
can be obtained at the Cooperative Store
at small cost.
At end of each half term the Su-
perintendent makes out pay roll certifying
to the Treasurer the work which he knows
the student has done, with the value of il as
fixed by the Prudential Committee. The Su-
perintendent is responsible to the College
not to recommend more than the fair and
regular market price Of any labor
1t must be distinctly understood
that the student gets this pay to help him
continue in school He is not to be paid in
cash, but in credits to apply on his incidental
fee, his board bill, or other dues to the Col
lege. For clothing, etc, he must provide in
other ways but his earnings while in school
are to be turned towards these dues to the
College.

Entertainments and Social Life

II he rattles off his words as II he

dlence is likely to feel that he cares
more for his speech than for his
hearers. II he seems more anxious to
get them to assent to his view than
to present the whole matter fairly
and impartially then the audience
will probably resent il. The orator
is therefore more important than his
GRAFTON.
The orator must speak clearly, loud
enough to be heard easily. Mounting,
nasal or harsh tones disturb and dis

young speakers fail because they fail

But after having given a clear
glimpse OF the whole subject the
speaker must take the audience with
him, every step Of reasoning must
be clear, and he must show how each

That is. he must make progress. the
audience must feel that he Is get

therefore express all the emotion he
I,ally feels. but not pretend TO feel
emotion when he does not.
The force shown should be the
expression Of the greatness and the
urgency OF the subject which sweeps
INTO both the speaker and his hear
ers. The orator must beware OF mere
noise. or nagging and scolding OF
the audience.
The judges. when reading the ora

standards:

Religion

This Institution was founded as express
ed by the first words Of its Constitution,
Gin order to promote the cause of Christ"
All that is meant by "tbe cause Of Christ"
can be learned only by reading the New Tes-
lament. 1t means that wonderful influence
or kingdom" of ELECTROMAGNETIC to God
and good will to men"-which is growing in
the hearts OF good people and in the customs
OF the world.
The Institution does not belong to any one
denomination or sect OF Christians, but
works in fellowship and cooperation with all.
Receiving no aid from any state or society, il
has been built up and sustained by the good
providence OF God in answer to the prayers
and efforts of Christian men aud women who
Q have been called to this special work OF pa
trotic benevolence. 1t is hoped thatall who
come within it's in Auence will be led to enlis
in the service of Christ.
The students are gathered at stated times
for religious worship and for the study of
the Bible. Each year at some convenient
time lessons are shortened for few days in
order that special attention may be given to
religious truths under the leadership Of some
spiritual preacher
The students maintain Christian Endeavor
societies in connection with the Union
Church out Of which the College grew, and
Young Mems and Young Womens Christian
Associations, besides Sunday School work
and other religious activities.
Ii should be noted that while Berea is the
dwelling place Of many good people, and
possesses great religious privileges, it is al
so the home OF some who are ready to aid in
the satanic work Of tempting the young. The
conditions Of student life also present their
own temptations. All who come TO Berea
should realize that while life here is hope
ful battle il is battle still

be present ON time whenever he has
an engagement. If he is unayoidably
detained he should notify the person with
whom he has the appointment in advance.

terms. (b) STUDIoUs HABITs.-Students shall
give the best part of each day to study,
and refrain from disturbing fellow students
