tent. The present system of ath-
letics and the club life that have
such strong holds on college stu
dents encourage the develop
ment of every one of the mega
tive traits named above.
Turning to the positive traits we
find characteristics that are more
surely developed in college than
elsewhere. The proper develop
ment of them is a great asset to any
persons life. They must be devel-
oped in college because no young
person can neglect college work or
ignore college opportunities and be-
gin business life with the necessary
characteristics to make him sue
cess. Summed up then, we would
say that college training is a help
and advantage to a young person de-
termined to make proper use of
their time while in college and I'M
less they take a college course in
serious spirit for preparation for
better service through life they need
not expect much benefit from it.
Speaking of boys and colleges
the Burlington Free Press says:
1t is the place in which to develop
tastes and acquire that acquaintance
with the intellectual viewpoint of
the day which is the "open sesame"
to the world of educated men. 1t is
likely that the men worth while in
college do take themselves and their
opportunities seriously. Certainly
they should be encouraged to do so.
The popular conception of a col
lege student as a college boy is cap
able of doing harm. He is too likely
to think himself boy" and waste
his time in what our late lamented
President Buckham condescended to
call "kiddishness AS an actual
fact the great majority of college
students are not in any true sense
boys" they are men at the starting
place Many of them are past the
age at which the major part of the
worlds poetry was written. Men
younger than they have in many in
stances been passable businessmen
or administrators. 1t is important
that the start be made in earnest. If
it be true that the ''kiddish" element
which writer's of short stories, edi-
! tors of sporting pages and others
would have us take as typical, is
only the froth on the surface of col
lege life, while the inconspicuous
majority go quietly on their way
with mems interests, mems tastes,
and mems occupations, it may be
better for all concerned. If the
contrary be the case the outlook is
! less encouraging.
The American colleges have given
too much attention to the quantity
of their students. They would be
increasing their value to the coun-
| try at large and raise the standard
of their product if they would turn
their attention more to the quality
and confine their work as much as
practical to the education Of young
people who can develop the positive
qualities named by Pres. Citing.

The Bennington Banner says
Several savings banks and trust
companies in the state have started
loaning money at five per cent on
real estate security. This is the
fruit of the new tax law and mighty
desirable fruit at that" That was
one of the prime objects of the law
and the other was to tax all tan
gible property so less real property
could evade taxation and by increas-
ing the amount of property taxed
reduce the rate of taxation. 1t is
not impossible that people will find
more justice than they expect in
the new tax law. 1t is certain an
untaxable loan on desirable Vermont
property that nets the owner of the
money five per cent is one of the
safest and most desirable invest
ments a capitalist can find and five
per cent money to the business in
terests of the state is distinct ben
eft.

The charters of thirty-nine Yer
mont corporations were revoked on
April 1 for failure to file returns
or pay the annual license tax assess
ed by the state. Most of them were
corporations which have never done
any real business and some were cor
pOrations that have sold their prop
erty and gone out of business. 1t
is well the state has a law that
cleans the corporation slate in this
way as it tends to discourage the
granting of charters to alleged cor
porations for simply speculative pur-
poses.

we do. No wonder we are indiffer-
emit to it when we never consider it
Alright.
What Shall be Done?
Now what can we do? Well,
there is first of all the direct ap-
peal. You know the men who are
on the highways of life in need of
good samaritanism, in need of help.
1t may mean slipping your arm
around some man and taking him
home and putting him to bed. 1t
will be a new experience for you.
1t may mean interesting yourself in
some poor lad in the Jail, and there
more because he never had a chance
like you than because there is any
thing SO very different In fact,
the difference may be only in this,
that you didn't get caught. But you
can do the work of the good Sama-
ritan there. Our Lord wasn't figu-
rative when he said II was hungry
and you ed me, l was naked and
you clothed me, was thirsty and
you gave me drink" What he
meant was that the test of willing
ness of service to him is the service
that is offered to. others. And one
of the reproaches of the church is
that there are some who are outside
who reveal greater willingness to
befriend the poor and the outcast
than do the members of the church
themselves. But the need of the
church and of the world is of men
who think more of their fellowmen
than of themselves.
Church should Reach Outside
Excellent as is the individual eff
fort, productive as it is of benefit,
there is the organized effort of So
ciety. The church is set in a COM
munity for this very purpose, as be-
ing the medium through which the
grace of the Lord may be extended
to those without. 1t is not merely
a gathering of saints, having no
other end than gathering for their
own enjoyment. The church is an
army, or should be, an instrument
in the hands of God to fling against
the enemy. And while it is requir-
ed of us that we individually work
to do good, it is also required of
us that we work not only individ-
ually but collectively as well.
Does your coming to
church when you do not feel like it
have any bearing on the poor out
cast? Yes, it does, for it strength
ems the church and establishes a
tendency, or helps to establish a
tendency. The community where it
is the thing in the best sense of the
word,-to go to church is better for
it, for this tendency catches some
driftwood even as the stream does
and bears it along.
Do you mean to say, you may ask,
that my going to church has any
thing to do with helping some poor
devil not to drink? What a far
fetched argument 1t is not far
fetched and it is percetly true. Your
presence in church is helping to
develop that tendency toward
church and all the church stands
for. 1t is adding strength to the
church in the community. In other
words it is sending force and power
to the fundamentally which is
Gods chiefest aid in contending
against evil. 1t does matter in the
world of moral affairs whether you
get up and go to church or whether
you stay in bed, turning over for an
other nap. 1t influences you, your
children, your associates in the
community and, as good samaritans,
you owe it to the church and the
community to do all Xou can to
strengthen and develop the re-
resources of the church.
