est terms the movement, and pledge
ourselves to do all in our power,
collectively and individually to
prevent the re-establishment of the

Eccentric Tides.

Owing to the effects of shore lines
and other influences which are more
or hess obscure It Is very difficult to
account for the peculiarities exhibited
by tidal waves in various parts of the
world.
Interfering waves cause once-a-day
tides at Tahiti and in some other
places, while on the other hand in the
harbors back of the Isle of Wight and
in the Tay in Scotland there are three
tides in day. The latter have been
ascribed to overtides. produced by the

BREAKING AWAY FROM TRUTH
Two Opinions With Respect to False
Statement Minister Admits
Ho Made.

A curiously interesting question OF
ethics has arisen over the failure OF
q minister to secure employment fol
an erring but repentant woman unit.
he told prospective employers thai
she was a woman of good character
He had often been on the point of get
ting for her the work she needed in
order to make an honest living and to
regain the moral equilibrium which
had been disturbed by her wrongdoing
But as soon as the minister, in his
devotion to the strict letter of the
truth, admitted that the woman hat
sinned. the doors Of honest living were
closed in her face, the "unco' good
people who were in a position to len6
helping hand refusing to run the risl
of Contamination" unwilling to fol
low the example Of Him who said to
another erring woman: go and sir
no more"
Now rather lively local discussion
has arisen as to whether the minister
was justified under the circumstances
or whether anybody is ever justified
under any circumstances, In telling {
lie. Perhaps few will deny that If this
minister really lied at all he strained
the truth in good cause and that the
imposition practiced upon those who
refused to give to another the chance
Of reform which they themselves
would have welcomed in their owr
cases was intended to serve humane
purpose. All who are inclined to take
an ultra conservative view of the in
volatility Of truth might ponder the
splenGid words OF Dickens when he
wrote Tom Pinch and the lie that he
die only good to another human be
ing:
There are some falsehoods, Tom
on which men mount, as on bright
wings, to heaven. There are truths
cold, bitter, taunting truths, that bint
men down to earth. Who would noI
rather have to fan him in his dyine
hour the lightest feather of false
hood such as thine, than all the quills
plucked from the sharp porcupine
revengeful truth, since Time began?'

Practical Education

Few people who have not visited
a modern agricultural college real
ize how much equipment is requir-
ed to give practical education; to
provide actual, daily practice in
the art of Butter making, Cheese
making, Ice Cream making, Milk
Testing, Preparation of Starters
and the more scientific work of
Testing, which the modern cream
eryman must do. The Dairy Hus'
bandry Department of the Pennsyl-
vania State College is buying the
milk and cream from 2.5 farms,
within hauling distance OF the Col
lege. This material sold, in the
various dairy products, for $40 OOo
this year which was paid to the
farmers after deducting the neces-
sary expense of manufacture. This
large amount of milk and cream
makes it possible at any time of
the year to furnish material for
class work, cream for practice with
factory size churns; milk for seper-
alton with hand OF factory size
separators: cream for ice cream
making, eight or ten ice cream
freezers going at time; milk for
cheese making while the milk from
a grade Guernsey herd owned by
the College is bottled and retailed
in the town.
Not only is there an adequate
supply of material but the Collage
laboratorie contain all the latest
machinery with which to practice
and the instructors are men who,
when the students are not in the
laboratory, can take right hold and
turn out a thousand pound churn-
ing of butter, a batch of ice cream
or vat of cheese.
Young men who are now earning
a laborer's income with their hands
and want to increase their earning
power by training their heads to
direct their hands in more skilled
work may find Winter Course at
the Pennsylvania State College
Dairy School, which opens Decem-
Der and closes February %, an
easy way to add from five to ten
dollars a month to their income the
first year, and it may be the step
ping stone to posision that would

his chosen work.
