QUALITY, NOT QUANTITY
IN COL e G { WORK


college and university education
have outgrown the boom stage" de-
clares DR.. Samuel p. Capen, in the
annual report of the L. :. commits.
sioner of education, just issued
"The day of the academic promoter
of the initiation of values is over"
continues DR.. Capen. Expansion is
still going on, but for the most part
unaccompanied by the frenzied ad-
vertising so common in the past and
encouragingly free from the optimis-
tic confusion of prospects and reali-
ties. The developments OF the year
strengthen the condition which mas
been ripening for some time that
higher education is now looking to
its foundation and setting its house
in order.
Colleges and universities have
come under the sway CT the slogan
efficiency Surveys undertaken by
outsiders and by officials of the insti-
tuition to be eAGm.I.d have become
increasingly frequent There has
been vigorous activity on the part OF
several voluntary associations that
concern themselves with standards Of
activity has crystallized in the form
of recommendation that will effect
educational procedure over consider
able areas. The adoption of some
form of group system has been re-
ported to the U. S. Bureau of Edu-
cation by II institutions, undoubtedly
only a fraction of the whole number
of colleges that have taken this step"
The idea that it is quality rather
than quantity of work done by col
lege student that counts toward ef-
fective education has already re-
ceived tangible recognition in few
institutions through the granting of
extra credit for quality, says DR.. Ca
pen. Several prominent institutions
have been reorganized and other new
departments have been formed; and
several others are EXPERIMENTING
with new types of vocational courses
related to local industrial activities.
DR.. Capen mentions Montana, Kan
sas and Idaho as three more states
where the administration of state in
stitutions of higher education have
been further centralized through re-
cent legislative action

The Summer Of 1916.

Some of our contemporaries are
specializing over the poss bility that
the year 1916 will be snmmerless.
The year 1916, the year after the dis.
astrous end of the Napoleonic wars,
had scarcely enough summer to be
worth mentioning and The theory
seems to be that the terrific bonn
bardments on European battleAelds
are bound to have a similar effect
upon weather conditions reXt year.
June of 1916, we are tcId, was a
month of frost and ice. New Eng
land, Ohio and PENNSYLVANIA were
covered with snow June II there
was a great snowstorm aud fccks OF
sheep were overwhelmed and suffo.
Gated. The ice was an inch thick
on the Fourth of July and August 80
witnessed a heavy fall of snow. Not
until September were normal climatic
conditions restored.
The notion is that history will re-
peat itself after the passage of a
century and the alarming thought in
this connection is that If the amount
of explosives used in the Napoleonic
wars caused all that arrangement of
meteorological conditions, the amount
used in the present war S likely to
keep the temperature at 10 below
zero, at least all next SIMMER. 1t
surely is time for universal dsdrma-
ment.-Ohio State Journal.

5 FORNFELT HOMES
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Defective Flue Ignites W b n
Sparks Fall and Blaze Spreads
to Adjoining Homes.

Fire originating from a defective
flue destroyed four valuable residence
properties in North Fornfelt last even
ing.
The home of Mr.. Gladys, a box fac
tory employee, caught fire from a
burning chimney, and when first dis
covered, the roof had ignited in nu-
merous places from falling sparks and
the flames made rapid Roadway in
spite of all efforts to check them. The
entire roof of the Gladys home was a
blazing mass shortly after the fire
was discovered, and the flying embers
lighted on the neighboring roofs where
they were quickly famed into uncon-
trollable flames. The fire was first
seen by the night Waterman at the box
factory, and in less than twenty min
utes three new houses belonging to
Mr.. Schivwitz were also ablaze and
beyond all hopes of control by the
meager fire-fighting facilities of
which Fornfelt is possessed. Four
houses with most of their contents
were destroyed, and the loss is esti-
mated at more than $4,000. Some of
the property was covered by small in
surance, but not nearly sufficient TO
offset tho lose cuSta;pod
The houses burned so rapidly that
some of the inmates experienced diff
ficulty in escaping with their lives.
The four houses were completely
RACED in about 40 minutes, and the
citizens of the neighborhood were
powerless to fight the flames with
effectiveness. There is no organized
fire department in this city, and prim-
tive bucket and ladder defense proved
worthless.

ARREST MADE ON
ORDER OF OLIVER
U. S. Commissioner Rage Orders
Prisoner to Jail in Lieu
of Bond.

Samuel J. Halcomb was arrested in
Doniphan yesterday morning, on the
complaint of U. S. District Attorney
Arthur L. Oliver, and brought to this
city last night at 10 o'clock to appear
before U. S. Commissioner F. A. Rage,
on the charge of having used the U. S.
mails to defraud.
He was arrested and brought to this
city by Deputy U. S. Marshal George
c. Orchard, and upon the arrival of
the train was hurried to the office Of
Commissioner Kage.
Not being able to furnish the re-
quired bond, the prisoner was retain
ed in the custody of the officer, and
will likely be given a hearing this
morning.
Halcomb, when arrested, was en-
gagged in the bus business in Doni
phan, but at the time the offense is
alleged to have been committed was
employed as salesman for the Wal
ter Langdon Hat Co. of Philadelphia.
He is accused of having fraudulent
ly filled out number of blanks pur-
porting to be orders received from
various merchants, and with having
mailed the same to his employers in
order that he might receive commits
sions on the pretended sales. He is
charged with having mailed the pre-
tended orders from the post office at
Helena, Ark.
Halcomb was arrested about two
years ago on a similar charge, and
was given his preliminary hearing be-
re Commissioner Rage in this city.

FORKFULS FOR THE FARMERS

A great deal is now being said about
some system whereby the farmer will
be able to borrow money on long time
payments at low rate of interest.
There are many practical difficulties
in the way of such a plan but no doubt
it will be successfully executed in the
near future. There is another reform,
however, which has already been tried
out and whose adoption will help a
system of land credit. 1t is called the
Torrens System of Land Registration
and makes the mortgaging or transfer
of land much easier and cheaper by
providing for the official registration
of all land titles. The state itself as
sumes the responsibility of recording
and warranting titles. 1t issues GER
tificates of title which do away with
all further need of obtaining alb
stracts. The Torrens System is in
force in a number of states and is no
experiment. At present the cost Of
abstracts of title amounts to a serious
tax on every county. A bill is now be-
fore the Legislature to adopt the Tor
rens System in Missouri. If you favor
it, write to Representative Bridges
and Senator Hawkins and ask them to
vote for it.
Every fruit tree should have at least
two spraying during the year and one
of these is the annual winter spray,
applied when the tree is dormant
which means anytime between the
time when the leaves fall and when
the buds begin to swell in the spring.
For this winter spray we use CONNER
Cial lime-sulphur which can be bought
III any quantity and which costs by the
barrel about Is cents a gallon. To
each gallon of this add eight gallons
of water and it is then ready for
spraying. This reduces the cost TO
about !. cents per gallon. This spray
may be made at home in an iron kettle
but it is usually about as cheap to buy
it. To make it, take Is pounds of lime
and Is pounds of sulphur. Stake the
lime in barrel and put in sulphur when
off except from to 5 that are we'll
lime begins to get hot. Treat as if for
whitewash and when done shaking, add
a few gallons water to thin it and boil
for an hour in kettle. Then add enough
water to make total of so gallons
and the spray is ready for use. All
these winter sprays are too strong for
the trees when the leaves begin TO
come out and will kill all the new
growth. They must be applied before
buds open.

Anthropologists have been forced
to admit that the shape of the skulls
of the European and Asiatics are not
different at all times and in places
from one another and from the negro
skull.
The English are supposed to be
pre-eminently narrow skulled; so are
the negroes. Some scholars consid-
er such type of people superior,
while others differ.
The Germans, as well as the Eng
fish, are both broad-skulled and mar
row skuIled. In fact, in one family
three types are very often found.
After applying all the tests at the
disposal of science, we have not been
able to show that the whites are SUI
perior to the cOIored people.
I venture to assert that had the
whites not forced ther. own dreams
upon the cOlOred folks that the ne

pie would have contributed and en-
riched the worlds literature.
If we were really superior beings
we would have aided the negroes to
develop instead of filing their souls
with anguish and sorrow and thus
thWart their development.
Give the colored people the same
opportunities and take away from
them the yoke of the past and they
will very soon reach the mental
height and moral excellence Of their
so-caIled superior whites. Even our
anthropoid ancestors could not have
treated so unjustly and so unmerCi-
fully their less fortunate brothers and |
sisters as we have treated the cOloTed !
