opportunity to meet at luncheon thirty members of the faculty. The subject for discussion was, What can the professor do, really to as sist students at the university in discovering the values worth while !a college life?" Approximately one half of the teachers asked to D. excused from the discussion. The gueEl was especially interested in the answer Of the others, among whom were the men, according to student testimony, that had real hol} on the university vitality. One was of the department of chemistry. He was prominent in student ac- tivities. When he was introduced a student said, There is no man more truly liked in the university thdu Professor -.." AS the professor talked it was felt that, while he might be good teacher of chemistry, his department was chief ly important in giving him point of departure from which he could go forth to interest himself in the lives of young men, After. the conference he said: If professors want influence with students, let them appear at debates, at athletic games, and at student mass meet ings; let them show real interest in undergraduate activities of all sorts, even at personal sacrifice"
 When professors, instructors, presidents, deans and tutors re alize that teaching is a calling not simply a means of livelihood, and that every man who holds any such position must somehow dis cover how to reach, individually at least, a small circle of students, then the colleges will no longer be defined as knowledge shops," but as the homes of those inspirations and friendships, those ideals and indictments that deeply enrich all obe's everyday living.
 While the modern drift in the outside world may be toward techni- cal and exact education, the aim of the college must still be to find the great teacher, the man of thougnt-provoking power and of spiritual capacity; sincere and genuln- both in scholarship and in manhood, of whom one can speak as Carlyle spoke of Schiller, as a high miuistering servant at Truths al rar," who "bOre him wcrthily of the office he held.

WANTED; THE GREAT TEACHER

Any one who follows the large educational gatherings, in the Unit ed states as well as in Europe, will be impressed with the eyer-in- creasing emphasis placed upon the making of great teachers. The head Of education in India said recently that this war was the Yi- tai and central problem of educa- ton throughout the Orient. Eng land has been founding training classes for teachers, of which the admirable new teaching college at Leeds is a fitting example,, while the headmasters and college presi- dents of the United States and of Canada spend no small portion of their time in searching for teachers adequate for the constantly grow ing needs of an expanding currie- dlUm.
 But how are we to train such teachers? The task furnishes a matChless opportunity of the col lege. A large proportion of under graduates ill college .lecture-rooms, are virtually untouched, either in feelings or in intellect, by the min tstry Of the church. Whatever the ministry may have been in our fathers times, it is not today sig uiticant or effective in .imparting its message to students. The fact is periodically shown by test ques- tioas concerning the Bible, English literature, and church history. An observer who recently visited a dczeu of the leading preparatory schotls, whose headmasters and teachers unite in lamenting the iuadeQuacy of the Sunday schools aud of religious training in the home, was convinced that many students go up to the best .prepara- tory schools in almost a heathenisa condition as regards religion and Christian knowledge.
 It Is the day and time of the teachers ministry in both sec oudary schools and colleges. The college professor who does not for get that he is first a man,. then a professor, and who can get past tho friendship of books and knowi- edge to a genuine friendship with students, can become one of the highest forces in our civilization.

and he believes the tide of Idaho
business affairs has turned for the
better. That from now on business
and farming conditions in this state

is the fact that the farmers of this
