tied citizens Of Kansas who are inter-
ested in maintaining the pre-eminence
|fof her educational institutions and pro-
viding for their further development.
to place Baker university ON the solid
financial foundation that it imperative
ly needs to continue its important work.
Not long ago the general educational
board Of New York city made = most
generous proposition to- the advantage
Of Baker. 1t agreed to furnish $115. 900 for
the endowment fund Of the college pro-
vided the friends Of the institution con-
tribute $s76,0o0. This offer holds good
until October 1, 1914. And Baker has
begun it's active campaign to raise this
sum. 1t IL planned to raise as6.ooo
through the solicitations OF general
field men and $4,000 in popular sub
scriptions. of from 81 to $500. In the
territory that is included In the cast
ern third Of Kansas. That these eff
forts should be crowned with speedy
success 10 not a question for debate.
The appeal is one of the most worthy
that has ever been presented to Kan
sans and the friends of education.
Baker is one Of the historic educa-
tional institutions in Kansas. 1t IL a.
old AZ the state itself. It II . denomi-
national college, 1t II true. being az
filiated with Methodism. But in no
sense in It sectarian. Its broad catho-
licity IL unquestioned. And because OF
this fact, its appeal for aid properly
goes beyond the ranks of the Method
lists and reaches out to all who are In
terested in the advancement OF tho
right sort of higher education. Baker
has done much for Kansas. It's gradu-
ates have played large part In the
wonderful development Of the state.
The hour IL now at hand when Kansans
have a chance to reciprocate. And un-
less they have been wrongly measured
their response win be convincing.
A reasonably large endowment fund
is needed by Baker. because like most
other colleges, 1t il a public benefactor
to its students. giving more to them
from the purely financial standpoint
than it receives from them. For In
stance, the income per student IN
Baker last year was. from tuition and
fees $61.65. The cost to the college per
student was $1s2. making a contribution
from the college of more than $7O to
each student. During its career. It ID
estimated that Baker has put into her
alumni. 5000, 900 more than 1t received
from them in tuition and fees and at
least another 5000, 900 into students who
took a partial course and did not grad
uate.
OF course it is only through an en-
dowment fund that college can De
conducted along these lines. And II
Baker is to maintain its position IN the
educational world and be OF the best
possible service to Kansas. it must fur
nish its students with better equipment,
better instruction. larger inspiration
and better environment Hence the
need for an addition OF a half-mfllton
dollars to it's endowment fund. One
quarter of this sum is found II the
other three-quarters Is raised within
the next ten months.
IL Bakers appeal to fall ON deaf
ears? Undoubtedly. no!

which follows:
Looking into this Christmas
throng that is now gathering. and
which will gather even more and
more densely up to ten o'clock Christ

a Trinity of Needless Fatigue.
First, the fatigue Of those who

actly how the taste Of people il going

been sent out and orders have come

Of the state in which they are work.

Then there il the fatigue Of those
who sell. These are not only the girls
whom we see. pale-faced behind coun-
ters,. selling goods TO a thoughtless
public at the last moment. but that
horde Of girls who are rolling up
packages in the packing rooms. who
work twelve or fourteen hours a day
in this mad orgy. of eleventh-hour
buying. All these people are pressed
into service for few weeks each year
because Of this riot Of hasty buying

"The third in the Trinity Of Need
less Fatigue IL the woman who buys
and the woman who makes at home:
the woman who must buy a great deal
on a very little money, the weary
householder on whose shoulders rests
the burden of all the unnecessary part
Of each individual little Christmas
sacrifice that Is being celebrated
throughout the country, the woman
who is going to be finishing Christmas
presents and tying Christmas bundles
until late on Christmas Eve, who is
going to be too tired on Christmas
morning to enjoy the joy Of her own
children.
with each individual one of IN
rests the responsibility of seeing how
many victims to this Christmas mad

housemothers too tired to enjoy their

many overworked girls and women In
