One hundred and twenty-nine
yearB ago today the decimal
system OF money now used was
adopted by the United States
congress. 1t was the 6rst step
toward a-nAtional currency, brit
seven years elapsed aefore the
t.st national mirt wes .,stabiis!-
ed. Up to- this time the none
tary system was in chaotic
condition. The actual moneysin
circulation In this country con-:
, sisted of foreign coins distribut-
ed in different sections accord
ing to the nativity OF the settlers
or money coined by individuals
and the colonies. In New Eng
land the English pound and shil-
ling fourished: In New York
there were the Dutch form and
thaler, the latter being the word
from which our dollar" is de-
rived; In the Southern colonies
the money of Spain and France
were the mediums of exchange,
and everywhere the system Of
barter was IN use. Wheat was
legally authorized as the equiva-
lent Of coin In Massachusetts,.
Tobacco was accepted across the
store counter In Virginia and
Maryland. This was the condi-
ton when Congress adopted the
decimal system and the mint be-
gan to issue the first national
currency. Paper money took its
place in national currency dur
ing the Civil War.

II 1t was for the good OF the state
university that a Republican board
OF regents placed Democrat in the
presidency of that institution, and
evidently that is what the regents
thought about it. the Democrats OF
the state should regard it equally
good for the university for him to
stay there. The Republican board
placed the good of the university
above party politics. The Demo
cratic bosses have placed party above
the good Of the university as shown
by their action in forcing the nomi-
nation Of Thomas E. Hodges, presi-
dent of the university, for congress-
man-at>large. There is the differ
ence between Republicans and Dem
ocratic bosses.
In view of what the Republican
board did and what the Democratic

Today there is s3.seo. 900, 900
in coins and paper money circu-
lattng throughout the United
States. Four great government
lnints ana the largest money
printing ONCE in the world are in
constant operation to supply the
demand for money. Every year
the mints>a alone are turning out
stream OF wealth that Is valued
at $sG.00o, 600 in gold coins and
SIC. 900. 900 In silver coins. More
than 1000 expert money makers
are constantly engaged In max
ing the greenbacks and other pa
per money. Ingenious coin
presses in the mints manufao-

the normal heart beats: at top
speed they produce about 10
coins every minute.
Recently. to meet the emer-
gency demanded by the issue Of
the buffalo" nickle the minis
turned them out at the rate Of
1,440,000 day. This industry
is so highly organized that the !.
United States minis can make

any other in the world. Our
hints are today making pesos
and other coins for Mexico nnd
several OF the Central and South
American countries.

WORTH WHILE

, thority When it is considered that
only about one-half of one per cent, or
out of every 200 of our population, is
college graduate, the real value Of
college education becomes more en-
phatic. The leaders in all the voca-
tons OF life are trained in college
This is true to-day; it will be more
lemphatically true tomorrow, Those
who are conducting our educational
institutions are shaping the characters
and equipment of the leaders of to-
morrow.
Another fact may be mentioned in
Connection with these statements. Mr.
Guy Morrison Walker has made care
full investigation to ascertain the rel
alive numbers of successful men and
women among the graduates of the
large institutions and the small Chris
tian colleges He states most emphat-
ically that larger proportion of the
graduates of the small Christian col
leges attain success in their various
vocations than of the graduates Of
large institutions. He shows why this
is true and urges ambitious young
people to attend well-equipped small
college where the religious atmos
phere is wholesome during the early
part of the course at least Here IS
food for thought. Numbers, fraternit-
les, society have their allurements, but
the leader of the future will be the
man who has learned to apply himself
to his tasks; not simply grind" a
recluse, but the man of red blood who
knows how to apply himself to his
studies, athletics, student enterprises,
or whatever else may be worthy Of
his times. f. Price, in the Advance.
