them validity, mean, for the stu

might be so taught; If to-day's world
tragedy has any lesson for education
it is the need of the valuation of ideas.
A phrase familiar to students of psy-
chology in my time was "the motor
power of ideas" 1t deserves a wider
application. No action that is worth
while or really efficient takes place
save by the motor power Of ideas. We
choose the liberal education, the edu-
cation in ideas, not because it is the
means to an interesting life, not even
because il is a means to a full and
satisfying life, but because it is the
only means to the really practical lie

nation and constructive thinking IL

q forgettul world that "the form OF
social work generally admitted to have
come nearer to a solution OF the nara
problem of urban poverty, ignorance
and vice than any other, is for the
most part prosecuted under the name

where she says: while the new edu-
cational plan may perhaps increase the
earning capacity of the cheaper class Of
wage-earners, it can hardly fail also to
increase the desire to be merely COM
Portable, to have pretty things and,
above all, to be entertained and
amused"
That sentence shows a most extraor-
binary misapprehension of what is
called "the new educational plan; just
as the distinction between the trained
hand" and the trained mind" shows
certain lack of understanding of mod
ern psychology. A narrow technica.
training certainly does not increase
earning capacity, any more that one can
get a trained hand worth the term
without trained mind.
The whole trouble with the article is
that it assumes that the value of col
lege education has been in training the
mind and that the object of what is
called the new education" is to substi-
tute for such training a narrow technl-
cal training for immediate wage-earn-
ing. The situation is not as simple or
! in as black and white terms as that.
There are, doubtless, those who would
turn colleges and high schools for
women into training schools for poten-
tial wives and mothers, or technical
schools for special occupations, and /
certainly believe that all women should
protest actively against any such mar
rowing of the field of women's actiyi-
ties.
But the real indictment against col
leges is that they have not been train
ing the mind, they have not been CIV
ing IAN apprehension OF life's true
values" or the ability to deal with
life. There are many and great ex-
ceptions to this rule. For example,
the greatest teacher that have ever
known, Miss Laura J. Wylie, professor
Of English in Vassar College, gives
her students an understanding Of life
and an ability to deal with life that
is extraordinary. l believe that il is
not too much to say that every Vas
sar woman who has graduated in the
last fifteen years and who is now do
ing active work in social, professional

agency to train undeveloDed boys nd
girls for some particular money-mak-
ing vocation before they yet know
their own tastes or powers" | am
certainly against that kind of college
curriculum. Or, we learn that higher
education has been so nearly the sole
agency in the awakening of women to
a consciousness of their powers and
their duties that it fills me with
amazement and CONSERVATION to see
the strength of the present movement
to imprison their mental activities
within a narrow technical training
which boasts that its highest aim is the
intensive application of that training
in the home"
Again, certainly agree with Miss
Hardness that nothing could be so
disastrous for the development Of
women as a college education which
should give "a narrow technical train
ing the aim of which is "the in
tensive application of that training in
the home" know of no greater men,
ace to the freedom of women than this
insistence upon training for home
making"
Again, Miss Harkness's understand
ing of what this new movement in edu-
cation means is shown in the passage

or educational life received her IN
spiration and her training from Mss
wylie. But, as general rule, the
reason for all this talk about vocs-
the curriculum is that
there is a general feeling that the
training of the mind in college
comes rather from the outside social
activities than from the curriculum
itself.
The really important question in COL
lege education to-day is how this teel-
ing Of protest against the lack OF real
ity in much of its work car be directed
so as 10 vitalize college education with
out narrowing it. How is that 70 be
done?
I believe that what we need TO do is
to carry out the principles and meth
DDS of the Gary schools in our colleges.
The Gary schools are not trade schools,
nor are they vocational schools. They
do not give narrow technical training;
they train the whole child 70 heolthy
work and study and play, and, above all
things, the child soaks in through his
pores every day of his life an under
standing of the scientific basis Of mod
ern social and industrial life. They do
not have less academic work, but more,
than in the ordinary schools. Voca-
tional work is real because il is the
work that is needed to keep their COM
munity going.
The modern college should also be a
self-sustaining community, not as it is
now, an institution with a hard core Of
unyielding academic work and a fringe
of vital social activities totally unre-
lated to the academic work. Why
should not the energies of college stu
dents find their best expression in con-
nection with their work, as Gary stu
dents do? This would happen if the
students helped to run all the depart
nents in college-the business depart
ment, the farm, the grounds, the light
ing and heating plants, the machine and
repair shops, publicity, etc. But want
to make very clear that when say
running" them | do not mean simply
doing the manual work. There should
be research laboratories in connection
with every one OF those departments,
and that is where the Gary plan APP
piled to colleges would differ from its
application to secondary schools. In
the college the emphasis would be on
the scientific research in relation TO all
these activities Of the college. For the
great value of college life should lie in
the fact that for those four years at
least we are given the opportunity in
this hectic and superficial American life
of ours to develop the habit of specu-
lative thinking, but speculative think
ing which does not arise from real, con-
crete life situations is worth little.
That is the real indictment of colleges
at the present time.

Singers From Penbrook
Give Concert at Enola

A chorus composed of young peo-
pie from the Penbrook Lutheran
Church, gave a musical entertainment
in the Lutheran Church at Enola,
which for tone and expression, far
surpassed anything before attempted,
by these young people.
Mrs. Wetteroth sang Barbara
Fritchie" in inimitable style, so that
it seemed the hearers, could see
"Stonewall' jackson leading his
Confederate troops through the town
of Fredericksburg"
Miss Ida Richards, accompanied by
her young sister, Miss Stella Richards,
played a violin selection with the
touch and expression of profes-
sional.
Miss Erma Wilson was in fine voice,
reaching the high notes in clear, bell
like tones.
Robert Collinge sang "A Perfect
Day" in regular "Caruuso" style.
After the entertainment, the pas
tor, the Rev. M. f. Sharp, took the en-
tire chorus to the parsonage and
treated to ice cream, coffee and
cakes.

GET IRON RINGS FOR
GOLD GIVEN KAISER
200 Of Fatherland's Sympathizers
Here VIII Receive Tokens of
Germany's Thanks

An iron ring bearing the imprint of
the German Cross is to be given each
sympathizer of the German and Aus
trian cause, who contributes money or
gold trinkets. not less than 50 in value
to the German and Austrian Relief
Society for the benefit of the widows
and orphans in the Fatherland.
Edward Moeslein, 424 North street,
president of the relief society, will soon
receive 200 of these rings for distri-
button in Harrisburg, and he hopes
eventually to have calls for several
thousand. A meeting of the relief
committee will be held Monday even
ing, when the first rings will be given
out.
The rings are an alloy of iron and
silver, of a unique and artistic design.
In the center is black iron cross like
those bestowed by the Kaiser on Ger
man soldiers distinguished for brav-
cry. This is surrounded by oak leaves
signifying the strength of sacrifice,
and on each side are verses in Ger
man, meaning ITO the old Fatherland,
in order to show my loyalty, gave L in
troublous times this gold for iron"
The idea of the iron ring was first
used during the Napoleonic wars when
German women gave their wedding
rings, jewelry and plate to their coun-
try. receiving the iron cross in
acknowledgements.
The local relief society has already
collected $4,000 and sent it to the
German ambassador in Washington
who forwards it to the Fatherland.

A WINTER TONIC

Why is it that some people keep
well all winter while others. less ex-
posed to cold and damp, suffer with
colds, grip, pleurisy, pneumonia and
all the ills of the season?
Thin blood and debility are the
causes of much sickness in winter.
When the blood is thin and there is
oxygen starvation in the tissues of
the body, poisons are gained that
should be eliminated and there is a
lowered resistance to disease.
Rheumatism disappears when the
blood is built up and does not return
IL the blood is kept rich
The after-effects of grip are never
cured until the blood is built up.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills enrich the
blood and enable it to carry more oXy-
gen. to nourish the starved tissues in
debility. to sooth the infiamed mem
branes in rheumatism, to quiet the
nerves in neuralgia and sciatica and
to expel the lingering germs after the
fever and influenza of grip have pass
ed. All winter DR.. Williams Pink
Fills should be in every house. ready
for use. You can get them now at

tie book Building Up the Blood" has
