REALITY.

BEAUTY.
The Kansas board of administration
OF the institutions of higher education
is entirely right in trying to put some
idea of beauty into the educational
environment of Kansas. The buildings
and the grounds of every Kansas eau
cational institution should be m S
of beauty. The students should learn
as much of beauty and truth from
their surroundings as they learn from
their books. The interior walls, the
yards the public architecture, are in
deed as much a part of the education
of youth as the knowledge gained
form books. The Kansas board Will
do Kansas permanent service, II
into architecture which looks too
much like a packing house, and class
rooms that look too much like Jails,
beauty and the truth that comes with
beauty can be put for all time TO
come in Kansas But in the meantime
the esteemed Lawrence Gazette is mt
ing it's Ebenezer with the complaint
that the oak and mahogany of Fraser
hall has been covered with white
paint by the decorator of the board
To which reply should be made
what of it? Oak and mahogany have
their proper places; they form the
tradition of Fraser hall, perhaps, but
| if white paint makes the hall look
! larger and lighter and on the whole
better-what have traditions to do
with it, anyway? And what is more
| important, when the new board puts
| time clocks into class rooms and hires
| Tom Sweeney for timekeeper for the
university, the professors will have
| something to worry about more seri-
Gus than the covering of the oak and
mahogany in Fraser hall.-Emporia

| ADVENTURE IS A DELUSION.
| Nearly every young man is eager to
| go forth in search of adventure and is
| apt to grasp at any opportunity to do
| or die. According to a gent who has
| had a widespread experience in the ad-
| venture line, the young man should get
| over this soon as possible, and take
| a job in the leather factory or some
| other safeandsane occupation and
! learn to live happily ever afterward. AS
| Il matter of fact, really thrilling adven-
| ture, including hair breadth escapes by
| flood and field, harder than other
/ forms of work, and don't pay as well.
| according to our authority. The ram
pant red corpuscle frequently drives
| impetuous youth to life on the bound
ing main, where he finds he has to get
up earlier than if he worked on a farm,
i and has Sterner boss; if he doesn't
| get seasick, he gets sick of the sea- and
| walking is poor. Others fare forth to
follow the flag, and if anything does
happen to relieve them from scullery
! work, they learn that fighting is harder
work than haymaking, and without the
advantage of home cooking. A cow
| boy, who is supposed to lead a wild
| free life, gets thirty dollars a month,
and earns it by working over union
| hours, and doing without bath tub.
| Most of the wild freedom belongs to the
horse he rides. which studies ways and
| means for telescoping the cowboys
| vertebrae in his hat Adventure is
| mostly delusion and n snare when
not called harder names by those who
| have it wished on them.-Atchison

FOOD SUPPLIES AND FUTURE.
Among the topics that the British
Association for the Advancement of
profit at various times are the exhaus-
ton of the worlds coal supplies, the
prospects of insufficient grain and
meat and other foodstuffs and the ne
cessity of intensive and scientific Gull
tivation of the soil. The address de-
livered some ten years ago by Sir Will
liam CrOokes on wheat acreage and
the growth of population started a spir-
tied discussion that was kept up for
months. This year Professor Dickson
of Edinburgh, a geographer, reverts to
the question of the coming food crisis.
He urges stock taking by science and
by statesmen He believes that couu-
try planning will soon be as needful as
town planning. He advises a study OF
the distribution of population and of
all available areas for colonization and
food growing. The average man, is
naturally more interested in the oues-
ton of dear food and increa sing cost
of living here and now than he is in
the crisis that awaits the third or
fourth generation. But the cost of
living question is grave enough to give
him a realizing sense of the difficulties
of the future and at least a mild in
tellectual interest in Investigations and
plans calculated to avert those difficult
ties. 1t may be added that our own

DAY BEFORE THE BATTLE.
BY a Military Expert.


Lee had crossed the Potomac
with the Confederate army early
in June, to threaten Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Washington, i'm or
der to further the efforts of the
agents of his government in Eu-
rope to obtain recognition of the
Confederacy.
Lee also felt that carrying the
war into the enemy's own country
giving the peaceful farmers of
Pennsylvania a taste of treatment
that had been the portion of those
living south of the Potomac for
two years-would strengthen the
growing demand for peace in the
north and possibly bring the war
to a favorable end.
He sent his four army corps
ITO the north with the idea of
tting as far as possible before
he had to give battle and at the
same time maintain his commune
cations. Stuart, with the cavalry
corps, took one route. EwelI was
sent to Carlisle and Longstreet
and Hill toward Chambersburg.
Meade was placed in command
of the Union army June 28, sue
ceeding Hooker. The Army of
the Potomac was following Lees
movements to tn north and waa
moving in a parallel line with the
main route of Lee.
Meade's idea was to give battle
at Pipes creek, but circumstances
prevented this. If either COM
mander could be said to have de-
liberately chosen Gettysburg as
the scene for their battle which
would decide the outcome of the
northern invasion, 1t would prob
ably be Lee. He overruled Gen.
Longstreet's objections and or
dered the entire Confederate army
to concentrate on Gettysburg June
80.
The army being I'm three sepa-
rate corps, coming in two parallel
lines along separate routes, it was
easy for the three sections to ar

THE STORY OF GETTYSBURG, BY MILITARY ExPEI

the northern end OF a shallow
valley formed by two ridges. One
ridge, that to the west, runs al
most straight porth and south.
The more prominent one, on the
east, is rather a series of emf
nences with high ground between
them.
The line of hills curves to the
east at it's northern end. Culp's
Hill forms the eastern extremity,
and the line curves from there
around through Cemetery Hill,
then straight along Cemetery
Ridge to Little Round Top, which
forms the southern extremity.
The two hills at the extremities
of the line are the highest.
It was on this curved line that
Howard formed the Union army
after it had been driven in by
the divisions of Ewell and Hill.
And it was here that Meade found
his advanced corps when he came
up on the morning of July 2.
The occupation of the best po-
sition for defense by Howard left
the Confederate forces no choice
but To adopt the offensive. Sem
mary Ridge offered Lee fine base
of operations for the right and
center of his line, while Ewell on
the lift had fairly good field from
which to operate his troops.
The battlefield today, with prac-
tically no Typographical changes
since the day the troops met, is a
beautiful spot and It is easy for
the visitor to imagine the titanic
tsruggle that took place there so
years ago.
