Island Of Oahu

The island of Oahu is the third in
size of the Hawaiian group but is
eminently the most important
member. The total area of the is
land is 59S square miles, compared
with 4,015 square miles for Hawaii
and 72S for Maui Oahu Island has
two distinct mountain ranges, a fea-
ture which makes is unique com
pared with the other islands of the
group. The Koolau range, at the north
east, extends the full length of the
island about 8 or miles inland, and
the Waianae Range extends almost
the entire length of the southwest
side, the crest being from | to 5
miles from the shore Kaala Peak
in the Waianae Range, is 4,030 feet
above sea level and is the highe st
point on the island.
The shore line of Oahu is much
more irregular than the shore line of
other islands There are also good
bays, the most important of which
are at Honolulu and Pearl harbors,
on the south side. Pearl lOchs, 6 or Z
miles west of Honolulu, is the site
of the naval station and is said to
form one of the safest and best har-
| bors on the Pacific.
| Oahu has the distinction of having
the best artesian water supply of all
the islands. The water from flowing
wells originally reached AZ feet above
sea level at Honolulu, so feet at Eva
and 26 at Kahuku. The height is
now considerably less than it was
originally In addition to the large
number of flowing wells, there are
many others which are pumped. In
all nearly 500 wells have been sunk
on Oahu, chiefly on the south side.
| The rainfall on Oahu is less than
on the other large islands 1t ranges
from 81 inches year in the business
center of Honolulu to 21 inches at
EVA and Waianae, all on the south
side. On the north side of Homo
lulu the rainfall ranges from 40 or
so to 90 inches. 1t reaches 140 or $50
inches in Uuuanu and Manoa valleys
but is considerably less on the noun
tains.
On account of the nature and ar
rangements of Oahu's mountain
ranges there are fewer running
streams here than on the other large
islands. The streams that exist are

STATE MEETING OF CHRISTIAN
CHURCHES FINISHES ITS
WORK
VISITORS ROYALTY ENTERTAINED
over Fifty Delegates Here From
Various Parts of the State
and Abroad

The state convention of the
churches of Christ in Wisconsin
just held here with the local church
was well attended, and the program
was good from beginning to close.
More than fifty visitors We're here
from the churches in the state,
and some from the other states and
abroad.
Many were the words of praise
spoken of Ladysmith and surrounding
country. On Saturday afternoon,
several of our business men took
about thirty of our visitors for
a sightseeing trip. and it was pro-
nounced by all very pleasant and pro-
fitable. They were astonished to
find country with such splendid re-
sources, and it was the common con-
clusion that this country has Won
derful possibilities and must soon be-
come one of the choicest dairy sec
tions on the American continent.
The program of the convention
dealt with some very vital questions
concerning the progress of Christian
ity Every speaker was alive to his
theme and brought his message in
forceful and convincing manner.
Following are some of the speak
ers and their subjects: Bert Will
son. Cincinnati, o., presented in clear
manner the imperative needs and de-
mands OF world wide missions. Grant
K Lewis, also of Cincinnati, present
ed the claims of American missions,
showing our American life, it's social
defects. He not only diagnosed the
case but prescribed the one remedy
for our social ills. In substance he
concluded that the church must
awaken to it's responsibility and do
the real work of Christianity. He
declared that all Christians every
where must unite in a great body or
church and make right the wrongs
of society. Miss Matte Burgess re-
turned missionary from Mahoba,
India, was source of strength thru
out the convention. Her story of the
needs of India was thrilling one,
and those who heard her feel a
greater responsibility in a world
cause.
Many others worthy of mention
took part in the program. Prof c.
Nj. Sharp, Chicago University, David
E. Olson, Minneapolis S. S. Lappin,
editor of the Chrictian Standard Gin
cinnati, O., Mrs. Helen Stas, Milwau
kee; Louis r. Patmont, Milwaukee;
Mr.. Brigham, state secretary of Bible
school work and others.
The work for the coming year
among the churches of Christ in Wis
consin is indeed hopeful. A new work
for the 100000 Polish people of Wis
consin is being inaugurated which
promises to be a movement of great
good for these people. The conven-
ton next year meets at Richland
Center. Many words Of praise and
appreciation were heard for the man
ner in which our Ladysmith people
entertained the convention.

has ideals. He is man TO whom college ac'
tivities and college associations are pig Sc
rious part of life. Colleges, he is sure, are
problems for a mans brains, and college boys
rather, college men-are human beings very
significant human beings, with ideas and Ideals
with needs and desires, that are worthy OF Sc
riouS study.
college business is not boy business, 1t is
not over in four years. 1t is the association or
a lifetime, the opportunity of lifetime, the
responsibility of "a lifetime
So he will outline his philosophy to you
Don't conclude, however, that Thomas W.
Connally, treasurer of the chapter house rund
of the Eta Club is too-serious person In
fact, it required much moral persuasion, threat
of physical violence, and one or two other
means of Requirement to get him to talk about
serious things. The trouble with Tom Con
nally is that he wants to laugh too much.
You never heard him laugh? Then you
don't know what is meant when person Is
called infectious" Then you will never be
able fully to understand why people should Sc
lect Tom Connay as their secretary and treas
urer what 1t really means Tor man TO DE
the incarnation of college spirit.
All this began-and we are really leading up
to the University Club-when Tom Connally,
professional college man, was student at En-
DRY College. He assisted In the organization
of the ID. V. s. Society, a merit organization
to which college leaders are elected in their
senior year. 1t had serious purpose then,
and it has now. In fact, 1t practically directs
the graduate policy OF the institution. AT tne
University of Georgia he was editor or the
weekly paper and a member of the Sphinx
At Yale he was coxswain on the crew squad
All these among other things.
1t was at Yale that the idea of the college
man, a mission struck him most forcibly. The
institutions there he found, were all directed
to securing the interest of the graduates. The
alumni catalogue and bulletins the senior So
ciety system, the election of limited number
of trustees by postal vote of all graduates, the
establishment of the idea of social relations
based on university connection and experience,
a lively activity in educational and cultural
matters generally-these things about Yale lie
impressed him, he confessed. II was about TINS
time that he became the professional college
man.
At Emory he compiled the alumni register,
locating over 1000 graduates, and presenting
thus the most complete alumni catalogue ever
gotten out by a college in the South He as
sisted in securing approval Of the proposition
to allow alumni to elect each ySar trustee by
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-11-16

postal vote. Last june the graduates elected
him, and he became the youngest member or
the board. Then it was found that he was
Baptist, and the first trustee elected since the
foundation of the college in 1886 who has not
been Methodist Quite a squabble was pre-
cipitated over this. At Emory, too he enlisted
himself in alumni affairs, was elected treasurer
of the alumni association, and has qualified as
eminently worthy treasurer by securing Sl6OO0
in notes from the alumni toward the endow
ment of professorship of history and political
economy.
He organized the University Of Georgia
Alumni Association of Atlanta, and became Its
secretary and treasurer. He has worked for
the establishment of an alumni bureau and
publicity department for the organization of
graduates and old students With University
of Georgia men in Atlanta as with Emory men,
he organized monthly meetings
Tom Connally is as active with his Yale in
terests. He was elected secretary of the feder-
ated Yale Clubs Of the South, with its mem
bership of 1885 alumni, and with domain
from Baltimore to Texas
As member of the Chi Phi Fraternity, he
was elected national officer before his gradu-
alton from college, the only instance known
of an undergraduate being so honored. lie was
editor Of two yearbooks of the fraternity, and
he organized and Incorporated the alumni OF
the chapters at the University of Georgia, En-
ory and Georgia Tech Incidentally, he be
came secretary and treasurer OF these organi-
cations and collected money enough to build
houses for each chapter. Tom Connally Is,
beyond any doubt, one of our very best organ
izers with an ability in that line exceeded only
by his efficiency as a secretary and treasurer.
Incidentally, too, all the bodies OF which he
holds the purse strings-and therefore prac-
tcally controls-meet at the University Club
of Atlanta. And now we come to the UnlVer-
sity Club a club of social features possessing
at the same time an ideal, purpose, a serious
mission.
"College il not boy business. 1t Is life
time responsibility" says Mr. Connally.
"To college men the world looks for leader
ship And yet without interest In arfairs or
college or education, without association with
men of the same traditions and the same de-
gree of intelligence, the college man squanders
his birthright of leadership In things that count
He fritters away his function.
"When he enters the rush of business and
professional affairs he forgets the things of
scholarship and study, and the ideals therein
embodied. Yet it is then he needs most these
very things. There is no attachment between
himself and the men like him He loses the
human touch of things educational and so in
time forgets those interests themselves He
forgets that he is entitled to leadership"
And so, with Tom Connally explaining all
this, you come to realize that he Is working
and laughing with raw freshmen at Emory
and other colleges Of his affiliations; that he
is planning out schemes for organization of
college men everywhere, in alumni associations,
through alumni catalogues and publicity bu-
reaus; that he Is collecting money for chapter

reason than that he is trying to assemble col
lege men that they may work out their own
usefulness, and fulfill their mission Hence, the
University Club of Atlanta, as the central or
ganization of all his activities, stands for this
purpose.
Mr.. Connally was one of the first members
of the club number sixteen on the list. lie
is thus identified with the work of that organi-
cation from the first. Whenever he calls

members by Mr.. Connally, explains it:

men together along social and educational lines

Tom Connally thinks there is great need
forthis sort OF coalition. He drew from his desk
