LARGEST
Freshman Class At Kenyon
In Years
Students Addressed By Prest.
PeifcG At Opening Wed
nGSday Evening

Gambler, Sept. 1.-THE 91st opening
of Kenyon college occurred Wednes-
day afternoon at o'clock with pray
ers at the Church of the Holy Spirit.
The resumption of school work was
under most auspicious circumstances.
There were f1fty-three freshmen in
chapel yesterday, with number yet to
come and some not attending. This in
dicates record-breaking attendance
this year. In addition, there are a
large number of men entering in ad-
vanced standing from various colleges.
After prayers, President William
Foster Peirce pointed out that while
this was known as the 91st opening OF
college, in reality and point of fact, it
was the centennial, as 100 years ago
Bishop Philander Chase had completed
arrangements at Ghent, whereby the
future of his cherished scheme was as
sured and, shortly afterward, Bishop
Chase's School for Boys" was opened
at WOi tulnStOll, W., Iulo ldIcT ueNei-
oping into Kenyon college.
DR.. Peirce made mention of the fact
that the senior alumnus Of the col
lege, Rev. John Boyd of the class of
1874, had died at his home in Mariet-
ia, O., during the summer. A matricu-
late of the class of 1891, Mr.. Kicks of
Cleveland, also passed away. A Bex-
ley alumus, Rev. Edward L. Kemp,
80, departed this life likewise in the
course of the summer.
After charge to the incoming class
to live up to and perpetuate the ideals
of the institution, DR.. Peirce ended
the service By prayers.
The following have entered Kenyon
as Freshman this year from Mt. Yer
non: Messrs. Allen d. Sapp, Harley
Vance, Wendell Stillwell and Francis
O'Rourke.

COMPENSATION Law
Supported By And Fully IndOrSed BY
Representative Hunter
Buckeye City, Sept. 10.

Buckeye City, Sept. 10.
Editor Banner
Will you please allow space In your
valuable paper for the following:
want to call attention to the
Workman's Compensation Law enact
ed by the last General Assembly to
which l gave my hearty support, and
am in complete sympathy with the
measure.
While the law has been in force but
little more than year results show
that it is one of the best laws ever en-
acted. Ambulance chasers" have
been driven out of business and the
money formerly paid to lawyers for
services carrying cases through the
various courts, now goes to the per-
son who is injured, or, in case of
death, is paid to his family at the
time most needed and without a dol
lar of expense.
The law can be strengthened by
certain amendments that will be bene-
fetal to both employer and the en-
ploye, and it is the duty of the next
General Assembly to so strengthen
this law that it will be at the mini
mum expense to the employer, and
produce the maximum benefit to the
employe.

LIBRARY
Work Draws Girls Instead
Of Teaching

Very few Of the girls who expect to
go away to school think of the work
that will come after the school or col
lege days are over. And yet is 1t not
foolish to devote three or four years.
to say nothing of the cost in money, to
acquiring an education which may be
Of little practical use afterward? Even
the girl who is not facing the necessity
of earning her own living may find it
agreeable to continue her independ-
ence in case she should not marry.
Teaching has been the refuge of edu.
Gated feminity for hundred years,
ever since the little red schoolhouse
ceased to be the perquisite of a strug-
Cling divinity student. But the profes.
sion is becoming oyercrowded, says the
Richmond Virginian. More and more
we'll educated girls are being turned
out by the universities to look for plac-
es as teachers. Already the University
of California is requiring a five-year
course from those of its graduates who
expect to teach in high schools. The
supply of teachers is greater than the
number of good positions.
Library work is coming more and
more into favor as it becomes better
known. The salaries are not large
$40 or $50 month in the cities and
less in smaller towns-but the work
itself is interesting. In the small city
the girl librarian is, even more than
the school teacher, the dispenser of
culture She is expected to take
charge of the books, giving them out
and taking them back, mending torn
pages and collecting fines. Sometimes
she has an assistant for evening work,
sometimes not, but at the longest her
hours are but from 2 to 6 in the after
noon and from to 9 in the evening.
She finds herself speedily acquainted
with every one in town through giving
advice on what to read. Only girl
who loves books will have the wide
acquaintance with them that such ad-
vice will necessitate, but she will find
this one of the charming parts of her
work Then there is the children's
story hour on Saturday morning
through which the little folks to whom
the printed pages are yet closed may
derive enjoyment.
The length of the library course var
les in different schools from one to
four years. Most of the schools offer
a one-year course to college graduates,
notably the school at Albany, N. Y,
which receives only college graduates.
Pratt Institute in Brooklyn has one
year general course, devoted princi-
pally to cataloguing, book binding and
the technical details of library work.
There is an excellent library school
i'll connection with the University of
Illinois at Shampaign and a similar
school at the Western Reserve Uni
versity of Cleveland, o. Another is Of
fered in the Congressional Library at
Washington and one for children's Ii
brarians in the Carnegie Library at
Pittsburgh. Drexel Institute at Phila-
delphia provides an excellent course.
Even the New York Public Library has
opened the doors of its beautiful build
ing for a course lasting from one to
two years, according to the qualifica-
tions of the students.
