William Jewell College

Jewell College. about seventy-five
friends of the institution met at
! Liberty to discuss plans for relieving
the college of a most embarrassing
debt. There are no secrets about
the affairs of the school and never
have been. Whenever there has
been any criticism of the MANAGE
ment of the financial affairs it has
come from some one unnecessarily
ignorant of the real situation.
DR.. Greene is wellknown in North
east Mo-, having been born here in
1849, the same year the College was
founded. For more than twenty
two years he has been President of
the school, and during that time it
has grown very rapidly, but the
growth has been very substantial.
The material assets have more than
doubled in the last ten years, being
now more than one million dollars
A little more than half of this
amount is in productive endow-
ment. The rest is in buildings and
grounds.
IL is generally known that for
several years there has been an an
nual deficit. Several years ago
when this amount was small, each
year the trustees would pay it, and
the world at large was not troubled
about it. In recent years it has
gotten too large for them to bear it
all. 1t has been the policy of the
college from the first to give tuition
to ministerial students. and the sons
of ministers. There are each year
about two hundred students for the
ministry, and from fifty to one hun.
dred SONS of preachers.
To these poor boys the college is
giving each year from $4,000 to
$4,000. This accounts in large
way for the deficit. But in addi.
tion to this there has been a serious
depreciation in value of certain
stocks and bonds belonging to the
College. At the time these bonds
were gwen to the college they we're
gilt edge; nothing better to be bad
but things have changed and the
college exchequer has suffered &C
cordingly.
The New Science Hall is being
completed at cost of 100000. The
college has had to borrow some
money to complete this work, but
the fire that destroyed Wornall Hall
in Aug. 1918, made this new build
ing an absolute necessity.
DR.. Greene is asking the friends
of the school to organize Greater
William Jewell Leagues" in the
cities, towns and even in the dis
trict associations. He is planning a
campaign to raise $4,000 a year
for the next three years. This
$150000 will pay off the debt on
the new building, and clear up the
deficit which has BEEN accumulat.
ing for several years, and put the
college well on her feet. 1t
is hoped that the canvass will be
completed by July 1st. Small
amounts from large numbers of
people is the plan of this campaign.
1t is a time when every friend of
the school should get under his
part of the burden. William Jewell
is not alone in this embarrassing
situation. Nearly every college
East or West. North or South.
small or large is having the same
difficulty. The friends of Christian
Education must rally to the support
of their schools.

rying on this war according to Hoyle.
From the schoOlmaster l learned
this much:
"Piloted by a German who knew
the city well, huge airship had for
its objective the Palais du ROi, where
the queen of Belgium, the little
princes and Princess Marie-JOse lay
sleeping. The raid proved complete
and utter failure as far as trapping
the royal family was concerned.
However, seven innocent persons
were killed and some twenty others
wounded.
1.-The bombs which were to have
killed the queen and her family and
to have shattered the boUrse fell into
an adjoining street, wrecked a house
and injured two women. That des-
tined for the destruction of the
banque struck the attic of house
near by, killed a servant as she slept
and injured two others.
"AnOther-and the most success
full bOmb-struck a private house in
habited by poor people, murdered
woman and horribly mutilated three,
girls, killing two civil guards and Sc
riously injured another.
Nearby to my place a woman tot
tered out, crying: Doctor, doctor!
Beneath the ruins of the house two
civil guards were dead. Within the
house, pitiful screams came from
three girls who had been reused from
sleep by receiving dreadful wounds
on the face and body. One girl had
half her face blown away; the two
others were seriously wounded on
the face. Evidently their bodies had
been somewhat protected by the bed
clothes.
"The Zeppelin at the time of this
appalling incident was almost sta
tionary in the sky, some seven hun
dred feet up. A panic at once ensued,
and thousands of people took refuge

for the populace through the hours
of tension did not know from one
moment to another that they might
not be blown to atoms.
"Ten bombs struck ten different
streets. One which fell in the Rue
des Navets made a hole six feet six
inches in diameter and twenty-five
inches deep. It probably was filed
with shot, TO rail- the houses in the
vicinity were riddled by bullets, all
the doors and windows being broken.
and the ceiling having fallen in.
ct was calculated that about nine
hundred houses were more or less
damaged and about sixty houses de-
stroyed. In a single house four per-
sons were found dead. Three men
were walking in the Rue de Ia Corne,
when one of the bombs fell. One was
killed and the other two MORALLY
wounded, while another passerby had
his leg blown off.
All the, bombs, which created a
terrific explosion, were found to have
been in a steel cover one and a half
inches thick and about a foot in
diameter. The Zeppelin was, of
course, fired upon from the forts with
guns and rifles, but having launched
its deadly missiles it moved off into
the darkness
"A subsequent examination Of the
prOjectiles thrown showed that they
had a double covering, the two COW
ers being joined together by mush-
rOOm-shaped rivets, which, act the
part of bullets, and must cause hor-
rible injuries, as the two covers or
envelopes are torn to fragments by
the explosive"

RECORD OF ASSISTS
FROM THE 0UTFIELD.
One Rasty Wright of Cincinnati Set the
Mark Years Ago.

Fred eClaFke's record of four assists
from the outfield-two at the plate
made in the game with the Phillies
several years ago, is unquestionably
an Unusual performance, but it is not
a record. Nearly twenty years ago a
right fielder on the Cincinnati team,
"Rasty' Wright by name, beat that
by at least two, if not three, and the
beauty of it was that every assist he
made cut off a base hit. The Reds
were playing the Phillies at Broad and
Huntingdon streets, and there was a
tremendous crowd in attendance, ne
cessitating the stretching of the ropes
to accommodate the overflow in the
Outfield. They did not carry the ropes
so near the right field wall in those
days, the crowd as rule surging away
in front of the old bicycle track
This Wright seemed to be a pretty
wise gazabo and had a rafting good
whip. Instead of playing in the turf,
where the right fielder usually played,
he measured his distance so that he
could back and get any ball that did
not actually go into the crowd. This
brought him practically equidistant be-
tween the ropes and the base lines.
AS a result all flies that went to his
territory We're either outs or two base
hits, but whenever a grounder went
out his way there was nothing to 1t.
He was really playing right field-short-
stop, and he nailed either six or seven
men at first on what would have been
base hits under normal conditions.

Three other men finished, but were

Meehan took the lead about ten miles
out, and from that place onward main
