THE COLLEGE
FRESHMA AN

The young students first appear
ance on the college campus is one OF
some obloquy The very word fresh
man suggests awkwardness. Not
merely does he feel his rawness, but
the older students subject him to
some oppression. This is supposed
to be essential to his training.
Formerly this tanning took the
form OF physical hazing. Putting the
freshman under the pump Is older
than any text book. Undoubtedly
some impudent spirits had their pre-
sumption worn off by such methods.
But the average sophomore is not
mature enough to set up as moral
disciplinarian or censor of manners.
In most colleges now the more ac-
tive hazing Is obsolete. But there
are subtler, sometimes more irritat-
ing ways of attaining the same pur-
pose. There is n feeling that the
freshman Is a bumptious specimen,
whose self conceit must be taken
down. He must know his place, and
show due reverence to dignitaries
like sophomores. Various humi'ia-
tons are devised toward these ends.
The freshman is of course a little
absurd from his unfamiliarity with
his new world, Ignorant OF its man.
ners and customs, he makes blum
ders The sophomore who sneers
at them seems an infinitely wiser
parsonage. As a matter of fact, he
doesn't know much more. His addi-
tionaI year OF study and experience
has still left him with the conceits
OF extreme youth. His college life
may even have added to these con-
ceits.
Despite the freshman's various
awkwardness, he is a very attractive
figure. He Is full of enthusiasm and
ambitions. Perhaps these are more
fervent than they will be later in
the course. He may then learn how

High and preparatory schools turn
out very mannerly looking graduates
nowadays. These lower schools pro.
vide a pretty full life of their own.
and the boy as he goes on to college
often looks and acts very like a
gentleman. There may be little of
the rawness that the word freshman
suggests.

Piers at CiStOba|
Already Inadequate
Atlantic Terminal Of Panama Cana,
Becomes Principal Trans
shipping Port

Panama, Oct. 1.-Since the open.
ing of the canal a year ago the ship
ping in the port of Cristobal at the
northern end of the waterway has
increased so rapidly that already the
two 1000 foot steel and concrete piers
costing $2,5OO,000 each, are no long
er adequate to care for the vast
amount of freight handled. A third
pier is being built and plans for a
fourth have been. drawn up.
Frequently the congestion at the
two piers is so great that ships have
to wait their turn in order to get
docking room. This is causing con-
siderable delay to traffic especially
that which comes to the isthmus to
be reshipped to points along the
coasts Of Central and South Ameri
ca. These broken cargoes are fire.
quently delayed from a month to six
weeks.
1t had been thought that Balboa,
the southern terminus Of the canal,
would become the most important
transshipping port Of the canal ter
mini. Two 1000 foot piers, extending
into the inner harbor, besides two
long shoeline piers were planned and
are now in course of construction.
Officials now, however, are of the
opinion that this will be far more
than Balboa will require for some
years to come.
1t was reported that the South
American steamship lines would maxi
that their terminal port and that
probably some of the Atlantic con-
Meeting lines would pass through the
canal to deliver their cargoes at the
Balboa docks. Also, 1t was thought,
that the cargo which did not come
through the canal in this manner
would be handled by the Panama
railroad.
The South American steamship
lines, however, suddenly decided to
pass through the canal and pick up
their cargoes at the Cristobal ter
minals because they learned they
could use the canal, paying the tolls
on a ballast basis one way, return
with a full hold and do It cheaper
than IL they made Balboa their ter
minal. The high tides at the Balboa
terminals also mad much to do with
their decision. Besides freight rates
on the Panama railroad are said tc
be very high.

TEACHING

II is announced at Pittsburgh that
the public schools will establish in
October a department for training in
citizenship. This is probably de.

many leading citizens need very

If they obey the laws, many people
think they are good citizens. When
the caucuses and primaries come
around, they forget all about 1t.

schools then should not be merely

Automo bile owners who bought
their cars for pleasure are rapidly
joining the ranks Of those who make
the cars source of revenue and the
jitney enterprise in Connecticut is
fast changing the complexion of auto
mobile registration in the state. These
facts are borne out by the figures in
the new Connecticut motor vehicle
register which was issued this week
fren the Office OF the State Publish
ing company in Hartford. BY COM
yparson of the new addition with the
last previous issue which was revised
on August Is. 1914, it will be seen
that during the past few weeks 1000
Connecticut automobile owners have
This has taken 1000 cars out Of the
pleasure car class and has increased
the livery list accordingly.
That Connecticut people have the
automobile fever as badly as ever is
also evinced for the residents Of the
state own today 5000 more autono-
biles than they did in August 1914.
This is a remarkably large increase
when 1t is emembered that there are
still two months for pleasure car reg
istration before the years record will
be complete.
It is seen from the book that there
are about $4,000 pleasure cars in the
state, 5000 commercial cars and
1000 livery cars. The total is APP
proximately 10000 automobiles. The
livery list has just about doubled, the
main reason for this being the advent
of the jitney.
The register is well printed. The
cover is brown and the pages are vel
low with the exception Of a white Sec
ton which contains the alphabetical
list and the advertisements on alter
mating pages. The advertising is a
new feature, the previous editions
having been without any The pres
emit edition is Of 10000 copies and

each automobile in the state. It can
readily be seen that the book is an
expensive undertaking and, as the adj
vertising is the only source of rev
enue to be derived from it, 1t Is APP
parent that future editions on the
same plan will depend upon the sup
port which the book secures from
those advertisers who have a desire
to reach the automobile trade.
