country which come before SOW
ereign state: "The principles of
human liberty; schemes for intel
lectual improvement; questions of
finance and education and the re-
lations we have to other coun-
tries"-weighty questions for the
popular mind. All these and
more are to be decided, directly or
indirectly, by the voter as he drops
his ballot into the box. Since the
very life of this popular sover-
eighty government hinges on the
virtue. of our people, then how
necessary it is THAT they be edu-
Gated to do their duty. 1t must
appear that the une ducated are
a bsolutely incapable of perform
ing the highest functions of citi-
zenship. If the uneducated were
mere ciphers in society they would
be of little concern, but they are
not. They often become man
worshipers-dangerous tools in
the hands of political demagogues.
But who are the educated? One
may be DR.. of Theology and on
bended knee pray for divine bless
ings to rest on our rulers at
Washington, or an editor with
powers to make black look white
and yet be deficient in knowledge
as to the principles underlying our
government.
Since our homes with their un-
molested joys and comforts, our
institutions of pleasure, learning
and worship are all dependent up
on the government exercised
through the virtue of our cit
liens, let us call him educated
who is we'll versed in the causes
and effects in history from its
earliest inception up to and dur
ing the administration of our gov
ernment as it is to-day. A voter
should know the principles that
underlie almost every section of
the United States Constitution as
we'll as those who wrote the con-
stitution knew those principles.
A voter should know Christian
Ethics to the extent Of knowing
duty and men-should know the
men of history and men of the
present, who are making history
for the future.
Recently Missouri teacher ex-
pressed his belief that our schools
are losing sight of the greatest of
all their functions-"preparation
for life" "What,matter," he con-
tinued, "if we learn to calculate
the distance to the stars; learn
every language, living and dead;
know all the forms of extinct and
present. day life, but fail to learn
how to live in and preserve So
cietyP" "Our education must in
deed be made the safeguard of the
nation, for if we fail in this all
goes. In the attainment of this
great social object history must be
considered the leading factor"
In conclusion, fellow teachers,
let us perform our duties as they
should/be performed; let us de-
velop our pupils into a citizenship
based upon virtue; then our gov
ernment will become the admira-
ton and envy of the world.

yesterday on the courts OF the Seventh

straight sets by score Of GA. 81. 6-3
Smith played well and at all times his at
tack was vigorous. His slashing net game
was superior to anything that Hall devel-
oped. In the critical stages. however, he
lacked steadiness.
The conditions for the titular match were
superb. Smith at the beginning made his
net game effective. He was lightning fast

up pounding Halls returns straight through
the court for the points. Smith led at 40

Cornell practically clinched the intercoi-
legiate hockey championship last night by
defeating Columbia in a hard-fought game
at the St Nicholas Rink by the score of
10 0. Columbia played a clever defen-
sive game and held off the Ithacan for
wards time and again. The Cornell seven
scored three times in the first half, but
Columbia held 1t to a single tally In the
second period.
From the whistle the game was about the
fastest that has been seen this season. Cor
nell was always the aggressor, but Column
bia fought back In q way that kept the
Ithacans on the jump The brilliant indi-
vidual playing of Vincent. Magner and
Crossweler and their lightning dashes
down the rink kept the crowd on tiptoe.
Harding and Bates, the Columbia forwards,
were not much behind them, so far as fast
skating was concerned. but they did not
get nearly so many opportunities as the
Cornell trio.
Columbas game was defensive for tho
most part. but the backs did yeoman SER
vice, and Washburn, at goal, made some
splendid stops and the shots that did get
past him were labelled goal from the time
they left the stick. Vail had a COMPARE
lively easy time OF II, for the Columbia
forwards did not work the puck through
the Cornell cover and point often enough
to cause the goal keeper much worry.
The eleven from Morningside Heights
showed at the outset that IL was going TO
be contest, for Harding got the puck on
the face-off and for the first minute OF
play the Ithacans were backed UP in front
OF their own net. Then Vincent broke
loose, and. with his team trailing him down
the ice, worked his way through the Co.
lumbia seven and, from the extreme right,
shot a pretty goal that just slipped past
Washburn for Cornell's first tally. Column
bia kept right at it. however, and mo-
ment later Bates had a splendid chance in
front of the Cornell goal, but at the criti-
cal moment he dropped his stick and the
opportunity was gone.
Vincent took the rubber around his goal
and before the Columbia team was alive 10
