An o..i. With 2 History.

In the mountain range of Ei Guet- tera. writes Captain A. H. Haywood In the Wide World. came across that precious and care thing in the desert-- a clear spring. Of course these springs are very few and far between. and there Is tragic little story attached to this particular one A man and his wife were making thelr way across the desert not hong ago, and their water supply ran short They struggled on. weak and parched with thirst One by one their camels died. and at last, overcome with suffering. the woman died too. The man dragged himself painfully onward in the weary search for water. 1t was all in vain. how ever, and at last he. too, gave up the struggle, and, tortured with q burning thirst. death came upon him and mer- cifully relieved his suffering. Some one. passing that way soon after, found his body. lying barely 100 yards from the little mountain spring Of Ei Guettera. Little he knew how close ne was to his goal. poor fellow!

During these rainless months the streams subside, draining the great allnvial plains which border the main stream. The alllgators, which rushed ont on to the inundated flats during the previous swelling of the river, crowd back through the connecting branches and channels. where the ln- dian hunters slaughter them iu large numbers. spcarlng them and hauling them out on the banks, where they are stunned and then beheaded with long handled axes.

annual REPORT OF EAR[HAM
COLLEGE WAS ISSUED TODAY

than the usual number were required
for graduation, with the provision
that students might make this credit
in physical culture. 1t is now felt
that the college is in a position to
require physical culture of all fresh
men and sophomores. The number of
hours required for graduation has
been reduced therefore from 100 to
$50, no credit is given for physical
culture but all freshmen and sopho-
mores are required to take it unless
dents indicates he should be excus-
ed.
Freshman Advisers.
"a further improvement has been
made, we believe, in the matter of
freshmen advisers. The faculty has
appointed a committee of five of it's
members who will give special and
detailed attention to the needs of
freshmen. They will not only classify
them at the opening of each term,
but will keep in constant touch with
them, striving to be real shepherds to
them as they make the transition
from high school to college life. 1t
is believed that this work will be
done more efficiently by five mem
bers of the faculty than by all.
''At the close of the year the faculty
undertook very interesting and
much-needed reform. The number of
student activities has greatly increas-
ed during the past few years, carry
ing with them multiplied opportun-
tiles for the alert and ambitious stu
dent. Certain students with special
gifts of leadership and with commend
able willingness to lend hand in pro-
noting good enterprises have become
absorbed in so many lines of student
of the main purposes of college life,
thereby lowering their scholarship, or
seriously injuring their health by fail
ure to take time for recreation and
relaxation. The faculty, after frequent
consultations with representative stu.
dents, has adopted a schedule limit
ing the number of outside student &C.
tivities which one student may en-.
gage in at one time. The various lines

a student chooses his activities (the

in the limit set) just as he chooses his
hours of study for credit. 1t is hoped
the plan will protect the over-am.
| bilious student against himself, and
tend to distribute student responsible
ity and encourage student initiative.
Campus Committee.
"a standing committee of the fac
ulty has been appointed also on the
campus. This committee will cooper

ate with the president and the trus-
tees in the endeavor to preserve and
develop the beauty of the Earlham
campus. Under the supervision of
this committee the Chase Stage has
been surrounded with shrubs and fol-
iage, the donation for which was made
by the class of 1912 as their parting
gift to the college. In this connection
it gives me pleasure to report the
success with which the management
of the college strove to preserve the
row of trees along the National road,
from the threatened danger of death
or serious injury from high-tension
wires. In protecting these trees the
college was assisted by the West
Richmond improvement association
and the Richmond board of works.
The latter body granted the privilege
to the railroad company of carrying
their wires along another street, a
privilege which the railroad gladly
took advantage of.
Financial Status.
In the annual report last year it
was stated that $5s, 900 had been sub
scribed during the special debt-liqui-
dation campaign. When all the re-
ports were in, the total was increas-
ed to s6o,445.43. OF this amount SAL
592.43 has been paid in cash and $16,-
249.00 in notes bearing interest,
$2,604 90 being still left in the form of
pledges. While the total bills pay

receivable item amounting to $21 $751;

Earlham college has no Indebtedness.
The amount of interest paid by the
college last year was $97551 as
against s3,319.74 the year before, a
saving of $2,344.23. The amount of in
terest collected this year was $70S.3t
against $4S3.39 the year before. The
net interest paid by the college the
past year, therefore, was only $267.20
1t was stated several times during
the campaign referred to that when
the college had freed itself from debt,
money would be forthcoming for the
endowment. We are pleased to report
progress along that line also. During
the fall term the general education
board proposed to give to the Earlham
endowment $4,000 provided the
friends of the college would con-
tribute $685. 100000 by December 81.
1914. An endowment committee con-
sisting of the president of the college
and five other members of the board
of trustees has been appointed and
much preliminary work has been done
with the purpose of meeting these
conditions. Mordecai Morris White of
Cincinnati, Ohio, has made an uncou
ditional donation to the endowmep
of $25,000 during the year and tbs
amount has been paid over by hu.
The committee has appointed NORTH
c. Pearson of Indianapolis as endov-
ment secretary and he has beenln
the field constantly since the firstof
March. Neither his report nor tat
of the endowment committee is hb-
mitted at this time. 1t should be Hid,
however, that the college must bejuc-
cessful in this undertaking if it J to
