THE GRADUATE SCHOOL.

The American Graduate School OF
Agriculture which is a part of the
University Summer School this year
should prove of profitable interest to
the farmers of Boone County. Twenty
seven lecturers of national reputation
act as instructors. The farmers here
could do nothing more valuable to
them than to attend these sessions.
The farmer who keeps thoroughly
abreast of the times is the farmer that
makes the most profit. His problem
is two-fold. First he must economical
ly produce his crop, then he must mar
ket it. These graduate lectures should
aid him in the first Suggestions may
be made also which will help to solve
the second and more difficult problem.

You summer students who have
looked forward to this summers work
with good deal of pleasure should
not make the mistake of spending the
entire summer pouring over textbooks.
Spend some of your time enjoying the
scenery around and in Columbia; get
a group of friends and go for a picnic
on the Hinkson creek; go fishing on
the Perche; take advantage of the
sports offered in the University.
The good times that students can
have in their college life will be a
pleasant remembrance in the years to
come. You will remember the good
times and friends you made long after
you have forgotten the name of your
text book.
Study-study hard but remember
that recreation is essential to efficient
work, always.

| Yokohama, Japan. The Pacific
ocean is the modern Mediterranean
Around it, upon its shores and on its
waters are to be fought the battles
which determine the supremacy of ma
tions, of races, of faiths. Its coasts
furnish the earliest and now the lat
est laboratory for humanity in which
are to be solved, if solved at all, the
problems that vex mankind. And the
| director of the laboratory of the Far
East, the victor in its battles for
business, for political and religious
faith, may be America. 1t will be
America, if America will.
No other nation has had such an
opportunity. A thousand millions of
people, more than one-half the entire
population of the world, dwell in the
Far East. Yellow and brown and
black and white and every shade be-
tween-they crowd all Asia. The first
impression of every visitor is the
crowds. Japan has four times as
many inhabitants to the cultivable
acre as has Belgium, Europe's most
densely populated country. Excluding
the Western desert plains China is
more crowded than Japan. India has
one-fifth of the worlds inhabitants
The single island of Java has half the
population of continental United
States. The Far East is packed with
people, overf1owing with folks. We
over whole townsful as We
walk. If laboratory-room and labora-
are desirable for prac- |
tical experiments in sociology, surely |
here they are in superlative degree.
1t is willing laboratory material
and the laboratory-door is wide open.
Hostile though the attitude of the Far
East was half century, even a de-
cade ago, it is friendly to the Occi-
dent and to Occidental ideas today
An American lad, treated with special
difference in a German shop, remark
ed: They seem to cater to Ameri
cans here" The Far East caters, in
/ measure, to all foreigners and in
particular to Americans. The crowds
ire friendly crowds.
The Far East is waking up after its
many centuries nap. OF a renaissance
n Germany, France, England, three
hundred years or so ago, one may
'ead at leisure, but a renaissance in
lctual progress may be seen in the
Far East by the traveller with open
yes. 1t is all kinds of renaissance
political, industrial, literary, relig-
Gus. The Far East is waking up all ,
ver. 1t is wider awake in some |
'laces than in others of course and 1
long some lines than others. The {
Impressive fact is, however, that all {
lsia is astir with new life. i
The traveller may see the crowds {
nd feel the welcome but may not I
D readily realize the direction which a
ne crowd takes or the speed with 4
-hich it is making its way. Inquiry d
eveals another fact that travel may G
OF disclose. This Far East renais- 7
ance is no slow, sluggish unfolding. g
he awakening is rapid one. Be- D
ause China invented movable types il
lree centuries before Gutenberg and b

By EDWARD R. BUSHNELL

In spite of their smashing victory over
Michigan and the splendid record they
have made since the first ten days of
their season. Cornell football authorities
are not chuck fun of confidence that
they will beat Pennsylvania on Thanks
giving Day. They have experienced too
often in the long series with the Quakers
the truth of the proverb that pride
goeth before a falr' to count this game
won until the final whistle blows.
On the records OF the two teams to
date Cornell ought to beat Pennsylvania
about 40 to 0, though this is not pre-
diction. The two teams have played just
two cohmon opponents. Franklin and
Marshap and Michigan. Both beat Penn
sylvania. and both in turn were swamped
by Cornell. 1t was Franklin and Mar
shall that first made public the weak
ness of the Quakers with 1910 victory,
yet Cornell beat this same eleven 26-S.
While Michigan beat Pennsylvania 34-3,,
the Ithacans trounced the Wolverines
2s-13. So, no matter from what angle
the coming game is viewed, Cornell Is
the favorite.
Had the two teams come up to the
final game of the year with such rec
ords half dozen years ago the writer
Pennsylvania 10 win. And a good many
Cornell men would have felt the same
way Why? Simply because In those
days Cornell football had not grown up.
1t wasn't founded on the same sort of
basis as track athletics and rowing
Cornell men themselves blamed the inter-
ference OF fraternities, inefficient coach
ing, particularly the lack OF a man with
a strong personality who could teach
football and who could make the Itha-
cans fight against overwhelming odds.
Cornell now has that personality in DR.. Al
bert H, Sharpe the old Yale half6aok; Sharpe
personality that is likable and respected. He
has done two things at Cornell. He has
taught the rudlments of the game to a big
squad OF men and they know football from the
ground up But he has done even better than
that for he has taught Cornell how to fight
taught them 10 fEht In track and rowing,
And speaking of Penn-cornell football. there
e going to be mighty interesting scrap on
freshman teams OF these two institutlons. The
Quaker youngsters vow they will win possibly
because they fear what may Happen TO the
senior Red and Blue team on the Thursday
following Ex-Captain Lou Young. who Is
coaching, the first-year men. has one Of the
team has beaten tho Quaker youngsters al,
year. and that was Exeter, a team that has
also beaten the hrst-year men OF Yale and
Princeton, and which Is considered good enough
TO beat most Of the minor colleges.
On the same afternoon swarthmore and Hav-
