commend itself to many readers.

Students Short Course.

There have been many inquiries at.
the Agricultural school, Crookston,
for a Students Short Term Of three
months work that would include sub
jects of immediate interest to young
men who feel they cannot attend THE
full three years course. Sucn. a
course has: been organized to begin
January 5 next. 1t includes as thor
ough work with gas engines, in agri-
culture, animal husbandry, black
s1nithing, carpentry, practical Eng
lish and farm bookkeeping as three
months of good hard work will allow.
"A circular giving information regard

Home Economics Work for Girls.
The U. S. government has recog-
nized that farm women's Institutes
are valuable as we'll as those for men
and that these are problems. of the,

thought and study as the work on the
farm. The agricultural schools Of
the country long ago recognized tlls
fact and built up strong courses IL

course; covers. the most imporia IA,
phases of cooking, sewing, persYnlassll

Capital Fencers Victors
Defeat New York Clubs
Washington Team Performs
Unparalleled Feat Without
Suffering Loss Of a Single
Bout.

Announcement was made yesterday
that the team of the Washington
Fencers' Club performed an unpar.
alleled feat in the fencing world by
winning the national foil team cham.

a single bout. The final competition
| for this championship was between
the teams representing the New York

Clap and the Washington Fencers

clear score of 10 to 0.
The match was held at the New

ing the New York Fencers' Club and
the New York Athletic Club. This
contest was hotly contended and after
series of matches, the New York

Fencers' Club by the score OF TO 3.
Ii was a foregone conclusion to many
Of the fencing fans that the winner of
the contest between the two New
York clubs would have a more or less
easy time with the Washington team
and great was the surprise in New
York fencing circles when the veteran
team of the New York Athletic Club
fell before the onslaught of the Wash
ington fencers without winning a sin
gle bout.
The Washington Fencers' Club team
consisted of DR.. Scott d. Breckinridge

Making Ones Opportunity

(From The Ohio State Journal.)
1t is told of a great and successful
man that he made his own opportunity.
He didn't wait until some man sailed
into his orbit and made an opportunity
for him, which is the way with most
of US. He approached his need with
stout heart and a willing hand and
laid down the plan of his life, without
relying on anybody else. Now, if ev-
erybody would do that we would have
no poverty, no hard times, no social
distress. The sorrow with us all is
that we hang around waiting for
somebody to create our opportunity.
And if it is net done, we go off and
pout and find fault and blame society.
Of course, there is such thing as
misfortune, against which the heart
should never be shut and yet as a
rule every man has the choice whether
he will be victor or victim. If
there is anything in our education that
we need more than another it is in
spiring the youth with the determine
ton to make their own opportunity
instead of preparing to stand around
and wait for somebody to do it for
them, which is about the size of ii
now.

The New York American of July "a
comments at length on the recent gift
of Mr.. Asa Gambler of a million dollars
to the new Methodist university to be
established in Atlanta. Georgia people
will be interested in the article so we
reproduce it in full;
The donation by Asa G. Gambler, of
Atlanta, Of more than a million dollars
to found a great educational institu-
ton for Atlanta and the South, is
profoundly impressive and suggestive
from several viewpoints. A million
dollars is a mighty sum of money.
Nothing could be more significant Of
the growth and prosperity of this 50
lately war-wasted South than the fact
that there is a business man within
that territory who is able to give one
million dollars to a great munifcent
institution. 1t has not been many
years ago that there was not a man
in all the South who was worth one
million dollars. Today there are hun
dreds of men who have built fortunes
out Of the new condition that surround
the Southern States. Mr.. Gamblers
great gift made this pleasing and in
spring advance on the material pro
gress Of this great people.
1t is a much more impressive and
inspiring thing that man who out of
poverty and hardship worked for and
accumulated a great fortune in his
own lifetime should be great enough
in mind and heart to part with it for
other people. Generally speaking, it
is the men who have inherited money
who let it go easily. But the men who,
out Of nothing, have steadily accumu-
lated all they have, acquire also the
habit and passion of accumulating,
and the instinct of holding on to what
they have.
1t is notable evidence of the inner
tied and stimulated devotion of Asa G.
Gambler to his church, to his country,
to his religion and to his fellow men.
that his nobler ideals should have so
gloriously survived the rapid acquisi-
ton of money and dominated his char
acter and his action in this great and
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1914-08-13
A PHILANTHRoPISTS MAGNIFICENT GIFT

| beneficient act Asa Gambler made
this possible only by keeping alive
during all his financial progress the
full force of his inherited and acquired
ideals, by such active, helpful, altruis-
/ tic work for his church, his city and
his state, that the influences Of money
have not been able to corrupt and
spoil his perfect citizenship and his
perfect Christian manhood And this
is the wholesome and inspiring re
Election that grows out of his superb
donation.
Best Of all reflections, however, Is
that the effect of this grand example
can not possibly be lost upon the con-
temporaries Of Asa G. Gambler in
Georgia and in the South Few, if any.
of them are able to give a million dol
lars to the Christian education of our
Southern youth.
But there are thousands of the
Southern men who are able to give
much in their lifetime and to leave
more when they die. 1t is not so
much on the sum total Of what a good
man gives as in the proportion to his
real capacity to give. The widows
mite is as old as sacred history in the
sweet and sustained approval Of
Christianity's common Lord, and those
who follow Him, and this great rich
man of Atlanta who in his lifetime has
so nobly let go so large a sum of his
material possessions for the common
good, must surely inspire and point
the way to hundreds of his prosperous
fellow Southerners in which by liberal
SAlo W ILIc great CAUSE VI euuCdJlOu,
they must build the Southland that
they love into real greatness and en-
during glory, and departing leave
behind them footprints on the sands
of time"
Some one has said. "The sight of
one free man will make a thousand
free" May it be in that generous
South that
The sight of one great gives
Shall make a thousand give!
This is the lesson of Asa G. Cand-
ler's gift.
