College Does Not Transform.

Speaking for Drake University, Rev.
Medbury said that many people sent
their children to Drake expecting that
some great transformation would be
wrought, but that without the right
kind Of previous training the parents
were apt to be disappointed. Some
times we will catch an indolent boy
said the speaker, and transform him
into serious student with purpose
but experience has taught that 1t is
not often SO. 1t is impossible for the
college authorities to hold back the
impulses of years
He urged the formation of the pa
rent organizations to cooperate with
the school teachers and spoke of the
wonderful work they had done in,
les Moines. The school, church and
home should cooperate in giving to
kind of raw material.
He praised the christian spirit of
the Drake students and declared that
intimacy with the city had no bad eff
fects upon the student body. ''Why,"
said Rev. Medbury, Z would rather

than in a town Of fifteen to eighteen

greater lack of morals in the small
country towns around the barber
shops, depots, and livery stables than

Rey. Medbury Declares That Must
Have Right Kind Of Raw Material
for Proper Finished
Product.
EDUCATION IMPERATIVE
Speaker Says That the Boy or Girl
Of Today Does Not Dare Stop
School In the Eighth
Grade.

Speaking from sixteen years of ex-
perience with students, Rev Charles
Medbury, chaplain of Drake Univer-
ity and pastor of the University Place
church, declared in his talk here last
night on christian Education at
the First Christian church that If CIV
en- the right kind of raw material
universities and colleges would al
most always turn out the right kind
of finished product
you can not expect to get the
right, kind of material out of homes
that are purely commercialized,
where the conversation is only the
chit-chat Of the day. The boys and
girls that will solve our great prob
lens in their manhood and woman
hood are those that come from
homes where the fathers and mothers
see the needs OF christian educa-
ton even though they themselves are
not identified definitely with the
christian propaganda by their mem
bership in and support of the church"
said the speaker.
The reformers of today are doing
a noble, wonderful work but behind
ell the evils that they seek to correct
lies the solution OF the problems of to-
day and tomorrow. 1t is finding for
God in the school, home and church
the boyhood and the girlhood We
need clear-eyed, trained christian
men and women to solve our problems
and where viii we get them but from
homes that are closely related to the
kingdom of God? When boys and
girls see that the church is second
airy with their fathers and mothers
they themselves will soon avert it"

the senate and house committee on the library, the secretary of war and the supreme knight of the order of the Knights of Columbus. That commis- sion selected the design submitted by Daniel H. Burnhaih, architect of the Union station, and Lorado Taft, sculp- tor, both of Chicago.
 After two years of work MT. Taft has just completed the last of the models for the sculptural features of the memorial and is now in Washing ton supervising their reproduction tn Georgia marble, of which material the entire fountain is to be built
 The principal feature of the rear of the fountain is stone shaft about 45 feet high, surmounted by a globe of the world, It forms the background of a statue of Columbus, who is represent, ed as standing on the brow of a yes sel with arms folded in an attitude of meditation.
 Just below the figure of Columbus is the fgurehead of ship. a beautiful female figure of ample form and dig nifty, typifying The Spirit of Discov- cry The great basis of the fountain will be immediately beneath the figure, and will in itself be more interesting with it's abundant flow of water.
 On either side of the shaft are mas sive figures portraying the sculptor s ideas of the New and Old Worlds. The New World is represented by the figure of an American Indian reach ing over his shoulder for an arrow from his quiver. The Old World is reprsentd by thef gures of a patri archal Caucasian of heroic mold and thoughtful mein.
 The globe at the top of the shaft is intended to suggest the influence of Columbus on the growth of popular knowledge of the shape of the earth. It is supported by four American eagles, which stand at the corners of the top of the shaft with wings par tially extended. The rear of the shaft carries a medallion of Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain, and the group is completed by two enormous lions which occupy the ends of the balus- trade, running from the center to the ends of the fountain.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS.

It is anticipated that there will be 1000 members of the Knights of Co., lumbus from this state in attendaI@e at the dedicatory ceremonies to be held June in Washington for the great monument to Christopher Columbus. which is being constructed by the fed eraI government and which was ob- tained through the efforts of the ma tional order of the Knights of Colum- bus
 The memorial consists Of @ semi circular fountain, 70 feet wide and 65 feet deep, adorned with great statue of Columbus and other appropriate sculptures. It will stand on the plaza in front of the Union station at Wash lngton, and has been designed to har- monize in it's architecture and artistic treatment with the station and it's en- yirOnments
 The plan for erecting the memorial was started under the auspices of the Knights of Columbus several years ago, when contributions were asked from the various councils or that order throughout the United States. The re- sponses were so immediate and hearty that the success of the undertaking was practically assured from the first, and later made secure ay an appro- Prlation of S100,000 from congress.
 The work was entrusted to a com mission consisting or the chairman of

RED MEN.

Tribes of the Red Men are now hay ing an opportunity to express their ap- proval or disapproval of increasing the per capita assessment for the care of the orphans and half orphans from 8 to 30 cents Bridgeport Red Men gave enthusiastic endorsement to the raise at meeting this week, when Judge Carl Foster. great senior sagamore of the United States, addressed a meeting there. The order never did believe in orphan asylums, but in keeping the children in homes, so that they might always grow up under home influences. 1t paying for their support in this way The individual tribe thus pays one half the expense and the great coun- cil of the United States pays the other part An increase in the per capita tax to 30 cents was now necessary. and this was one of the questions all luded to by Judge Foster as to be de- cided within the next few weeks. He called upon those willing to stand for such an jncresase to rise Hardly had he said so when every Red Man in the room was on his feet, showing the sentiments of those present unmistak ably

MODERN WooDME EN.

The regular meeting of Ionic camp, No. 1894, held Thursday evening in Pythian hall was presided over by Consul T. J. Frederick. There was good attendance of neighbors present. One application was presented and acted upon. Other routine business occupied the evening, The clerk re- ported that he had been notified by the diYectors or the head camp who pct March 14th. that they had allowed thS claim of the late Netghbor Dr. P. II. Hartman and the order for pay ment would follow shortly
 In view of the discussion on the rate question among Modern Woodmen at the present time, and the confused sit nation in which many members may find themselves, an opinion from an acknowledged authority should have weight with those desiring information and advice on this subject. Such an opinion is given in an authorized state- meut from Hon. J. N. Dolley state bank commissioner for Kansas. in which he deals at length with the new rates and plans of the Modern WOodmen society. Commissioner Dolley has won 8 na- tional reputation for his vigorous pros ecutiOn of fraudulent concerns depend ent for existence upon their ability to fool the honest masses of the people. He has now thrown the weight or his great influence against the sale of dis honest unsound life insurance to the working masses of the people, He de- clares that the state is vitalIy inter ested in the success of the fraternal beneficiary societies and warns mem bers of the Modern Woodmen society against being delH lcl into dropping their membership because of the change in rates. He points out that the society is now undertaking to do 'the honest, straightforward and only right thing for it's membership" and he calls upon the members of the sO- ctety to rally to It's support and loyal ly an5 fraternally lend every aid and effort to it's management in carrying out wise and good business policies"
 No stronger endorsement of the cor rect and contagious position taken by She society through its head camp meeting at Chicago could be given the Modern WOCdmen of America Com ing from the source it does-from man who has won a national reputa- ton for his fiercely antagonistic atti- Jude to every organization of a dis Ronest character seeking public sup port; who has won the confidence of. the masses of the people by his year in and year out insistence that no dis honest company or society shall be permitted to transact business ill his state-the members of the Modern WoOdmen of America may well be sat isfied that the action taken at Chicago was honest and wIsc. else Commission CT Doley would have emphatically con demned where he now emphatically endorses.
