In speaking of the advantages o.
fered by life on the farm, city people
are sure to bring up the topic of its
healthfulness. Perhaps the average
farmer is healthier than the office
worker Of the city, yet on the whole It
is also as probable that he is about as
afflicted with sickness as the city man.
Statistics show that in certain farm
ing sections the amount of sickness
exceeds that of urban life. His igno"
ance of hygiene and sanitary science
and his consequent lack of cleanliness
counteract in a large measure the ben
efits he might otherwise receive from
his open-air life. Then, too, the con-
tinual grind of hard manual labor,
working as he does sixteen to seven.
teen hours day throughout much o.
the year without time for recreation
cannot but have a baneful effect upon
him.
Isolation Leads to Morbidness.
In speaking Of the causes of dis
ease, whether it be among farmers
or other classes, it may be said that
advanced thinkers are yearly max
ing 1t more and more evident that
the primary causes are mental. And
although physical hygiene is impor
tant as a preventative, mental ny
giene is even more so. Consequently
the farmer, through lack Of mental
recreation, even though his natural
environment may seem healthful, may
fall prey to destructive thinking
even more readily than his city bro
Their. A great variety Of bodily dis
orders may be induced by morbid in
trospection, which is SO apt to result
from the monotony and isolation in
the farmers life. Again, the grind
ing toll, that is required Of him. low
ers his vitality and makes his life
insipid and hard to live.
Consolidated Schools and Low Prices
OF Variance.
One hears so much nowadays Of
the great improvement that is to be
made in rural education by. the es,
Establishment OF consolidated schools:
but will this mean better attendance?
Better schools are undoubtedly needed
In the country, but they will not re-
move the economic conditions which
make it necessary for the farmer to
; sell his grain for less than the cos.
OF production, notwithstanding that
he, his wife and children must work

Wars the Subject at
Peace Day Exercises
OBSERVANCE MADE
DURING CHAPEL HOUR ON
FRIDAY MORNING..

The number OF dollars our country
has spent for war during the last two
wears is as great as, the number Of
minutes that have passed since the
birth of Christian amount of money
which would buy all the land in New
York, New Hampshire and Massechu-
sets. This is what our government
in time of peace, has spent in two
years for an imaginary war" says
Prof. w. M Wemett, of the history de.
partment, in an address delivered at
the general exercises. on Friday morn
ing during the observance of Peace
Day. go.
"One thing we are sure to get out
of war is taxes. To be sure a United
States tax collector does not knock at
our doors, but the government gets it
through the skillfully devised system
of protective tariff. AS w. l.. Doug
las puts it, when you pay $500 for
pair of shoes, you put $3.50 into the
u. S. treasuryand over s1.00 of it goes
to build battleships. The same pro-
portion holds true in regard to clothes,
food and practically all the necessaries
of life"
The Agencies of Peace. .
AT the present title there are in
The United States six strong organi
cations which are constantly work
ing for peace There is the American
School Peace League, the Carnegie
Peace Fund, the World Peace Founda-
ton, the American Association for In
ternational Cancellation, the Lake Mo.
honk Conference and the American
Peace Society. Besides these there
are many other influences that make
for pace There have been two con-
ferences at the Hague and another will
be called in 1915. -
these agencies Of peace have ac
complished a great deal in the past
fifteen years The man who has not
studied the situation. the man on the
street, who is impatient for things to
be accomplished which he can see
thinks these things a failure; but the
student of social, political and indus
trial reform, who is accustomed to the
slow but steady growth of things Of
this kind is surprised that the peace
movement has accomplished so much.
Program Opened With Duet.
In opening the program on Friday,
Miss Fannie C. Amidon and Miss En-.
ma Ellingson sang 20 Lovely Peace"
from Handel's Judas Maccabaeas.
Following this, Mis- Alta Turk, of the
Advanced class spoke on .... ..u.....
1.-THE Place Of Education in the Peace
~ Movement"
Mis- Turk gave a brief history and
told of the work Of the American
School Peace League and continued:
''Fhe state of peace in civilized
country is the natural rule; the state
of war the unnatural exception, but
what distorted view We get from the
ordinary school history. The exami
nation of popular textbook was
found to devote more space to the con-
duct of nations in time of war than to
International affairs in time of peace,
aud not one page was devoted to the
ways in which wars can be avoided.
1T is upon the schools and upon the
proper educational factors in the lives
! Of the youths of the nations that ef:
fort is being centered. In history, iE
literature and in geography the teach
er can point out the trend of thought
which is bringing the whole world to
gether into one family"
