NOT CO.EDS.

Why should girls who attend the
University be called coed? Would
it not be as we'll to call them campus
queens, Missouri maidens" or STU
dents delight? No one ever thought
of calling the men co-eds. However,
it would be just as correct.
Time was when the public thought
that universities were established to
educate the boys of a state. The
original idea of public schools was
to aid the state by educating the boys
who were to be a part of the COM
monwealth in a few years. 1t was
the state helping itself.
But the women-they need educa-
ton as we'll: They form a large part
Of the states population. They go
into schools as teachers and start
young minds on their educational
journey. Some of them are forced
into public life to earn a living;
many, in fact most of them, go into
homes where children get their first
training. All these require education.
When universities and schools were
made co-educational. the new stu
dents needed a name. Custom has
made it coed. The girls don't like
it and they have a right to object.
They are university women. Let's
call them by the right name.

SHANE on THE POWERS!!

The stencil of Europe has long
arisen from the bodies of dead Chris
tians in Turkish dominions. The
Powers of the Continent have become
accustomed to holding up their hands
in horror at the spectacle of religious
massacres unique, at least in this
age. for their atrocity. With each
outbreak one of the great nations
would send around a warship or two
to tell the survivors, We'll, isn't that
too bad?"
Yet. with all this. the world now
behold the barbarous, blood-spattered
Turk protected in his last extremity
by these same hypocritical govern
ments. The maltreated Balkan
states, rising at last in desperation
and driving their oppressors within
the walls of Constantinople, find
those same walls manned by their
supposedly Christian brothers, and
hear the ultimatum of the Powers:
Fight if you must. but profit from
your victories thou shalt not"
The Turk is an Asiatic product
His civilization is centuries behind
that of Europe. His stronghold down
in the corner of the continent has
been a great international scandal.
The ideas of the Turk are incom-
patible with humane thinking. He
has no place in modern civilization.

To be a temple and a shrine
For gods of iron and of gilt.
Aye, these are thine to heal thy heart,
To give thee back the thrill of
Youth,
To seek therein the gold of Art,
And seek the broken shapes of
Truth.
o vaulting walls that drive the wind
To feats Of such fantastic fun,
You make men dull, you make men
blind,
You mar the ritual of the sun;
The dramas of the dawn you mar,
The streaming tapestries of dusk
For fruit of life the visions are
And things are but the fibred husk.
Lo. these who all unthinking strive
To ports they do not dimly guess
Can any arts among them thrive?
Can they be bred to loveliness?
By strange design and veiled pretext
Gods will upon the race is told,
For one year does not know the next,
And. youthful still, the world grows
old.
And you who live from hour to hour
Know little of the mysteries
Nor stand aghast before a flower
Nor worship under wistful trees.
Yet maybe now there passes here
LII reverential dream a boy,
Whose voice shall rise another year
And rouse the sleeping lords of joy.
Beat on then, o We human seas,
Beat on to destiny or doom;
The world shall hear your harmonies
And follow in your widening flame;
Beat on, We thousand thousand feet,
Beat on through unreturning ways;
Not mine to say whereto We beat,
Not mine to scorn you or to praise;
The world has seen your shining
bands
Thrown westward, binding sea to
sea,
And heard your champing hammers
drum
The music of your diety;
The world has seen your miracles
OF steel and steam and straining
mass;
And yet shall see your fingers mold
A finer plathing ere you pass.
You, having brothers in all lands,
Shall teach to all lands brother
hood;
The harlot, toiling with her hands.
Shall lead the godly and the good.
And on some far-off silent day
A thinker gazing on hill
Shall cast his staff and horn away
And answer to your clamoring will
He shall bring back the faded bays,
The Muses. to their ancient rule,
The temples to the market-place,
The genius near to the fool.

A MAKER OF MEN.

Harry Monroe is today engaged in
making real men out of counterfeit
men who were something and are
now nothing-derelicts, children of
crime. He is a man-to-man preacher
who for more than twenty years has
been preaching faith, hope and good
cheer at the Pacific Garden Mission
in Chicago to the human derelicts of
that city.
Once upon a time Harry Monroe
was himself a counterfeiter of money,
and a wolf who preyed upon society.
He was a thief, a drunkard and a
gambling house "capper". The little
mission on Van Burean street in Chi
cago saved him from a life of sin
and death.
For the last twenty years he,
through the mission, has been saving
thousands of others. Every night he
conducts at this mission a jolly evan
gelistic meeting and daily he goes
upon the streets to talk and sing his
message of hope for the fallen and
despairing.
This Chicago wonder-worker has
rare message for fallen men and wo-
men. That message is that they can
be saved and lifted up through the
grace of God. True, he is a modest,
self-effacing little man. round as a
ball, bald on top, and Irish, but he
is doing a great work and today
every citizen of Chicago delights to
honor him with friendship and con-
fidence.
He had a terrible battle in over
coming his temptation to go back to
drink and gambling and he realizes
his converts have the same awful
struggle. However, he is always
lifting them up at the blacklist hours
and always has a message of hope
for them. Herein lies his great sue
cess as a saver of the fallen. And he
is a tremendous success. BILLY Sun
day and "Mel' Trotter were changed
from men of the underworld to fam
ing evangelists of righteousness by
him.
Harry Monroe goes to the human
derelicts and poorly engraved human
counterfeits and tells them of hope.
prays with them and helps them, en-
courages them until they have got a
new bone in their backs and a will
in their hearts.
The story of Harry Monroe and his |
work is told by Peter Clark Macfar-
lane in Golfers Weekly. It is we'll |
worth the time to read it with care,
for it is the story of man who works
for men.
