JESUS THE INEVITABLE

The meeting Of the Young Mems
Christian Association Sunday even
ing was led by Arleigh Griffin Of
the College Department. The
theme was Jesus the Inevitable"
Many new thoughts were brought
out, the principle one being that
in every human heart there is a
longing which is irresistible and
that Jesus the Christ was sent 10
satisfy that longing. His kingdom
must, therefore, inevitably cohpuer,
since il is the answer TO an irresis-
tible call.
In the business meeting which
followed some seventy-flve new
names were proposed and accepted
The membership is larger now
than ever before; and the campaign
is hardly begun. Berea must have
the largest Y. M. C. A. in Kentucky
Will you do your part?

DIR. WATERFRONT HERE

The students of Berea College
were fortunate Thursday in having
the privilege Of hearing DR.. w. ID.
Weatherford Of Nashville in Chap
el lecture. Doctor Weatherford Is
the international secretary Of the
Y. M. C. A., a lecturer, orator and
writer Of no mean ability. The
speaker told Of three classes OF stu
dents, all Of which are typified in
Berea. They are those who fail and
do not know il; those who fail and
do not care; and those who fail, yet
make failure stepping stone to
further accomplishment. His lee
ture was inspirational and force
full. His figures Of speech taken
from the football gridiron were apt
and 10 the point. Doctor Weather
ford spoke in Chapel Friday morn
ing and gave an instructive lecture
on the Race Problem" at the ves-
per hour Friday night in which he
used three basic principles as
text: u) The fundamental social
problem is how TO make the bottom
man loom large enough and seem
important enough that other men
will cease to think of him as
thing and treat him as a person.
(2) The State must desire to know
itself and TO recognize itself in the
lowest man II the democratic ideal
is to remain a working ideal. (3l
The arch skeptic is not the man who
denies a certain creed, but he who
denies the sacredness Of man.
His treatment of the Race Prob
lem" was excellent.
Immediately following this serv-
ice he addressed the Convocation in
clear and forceful manner, say
ing: az That thoroughness and ac-
curacy, on the part of the teacher,
to teach the subject in hand is of
utmost Importance; (2) that stu
dents should be taught to have o
divine discomfort in. self, ~ and
respect for other institutions than
their own; az that simplicity, on
the part Of the teacher, in the use OF
terms in teaching, especially on re-
ligious lines, should be adhered to;
~ that teachers are under obliga-
ton to clear up the way as they
lead students into new fields of
thought; (6) that it is the teachers
duty to help students choose their
life work or calling; ~ that the
teacher should seek every opportu-
nifty to guide the student in his
spiritual life by personal contact;
(s) that it is the right of one to
talk to another Of things pertaining
to soul welfare and make them, if
possible, see as he sees things.
The visit, though brief, was en-
joyed by both students and faculty.
May we have another treat of this
nature soon.

THE ACADEMY SENATE

In our cOlumn last week iHeiitloii
was made of the fact that the ad-
vanced Academy men had decided
to organize a student Senate to take
the place of the senior literary
society. That purpose has been
accomplished; the Academy has the
first student Senate in Berea. We
say first Cor we are confident
that in time there will be a second
and. perhaps, a third.
Oh mol This is not body to
make student rules nor to prosecute
criminal Academyites for such
serious offenses as playing musical
instruments while others are try
ing TO study. Such undertakings
would be far too weighty for us.
We may some time be capable OF
such, but at present our sole pur-
pose is TO be a miniature United
States Senate. Each member rep
resents a state or territory and de-
clares his allegiance TO some politi-
cal party. He must consider the in
terests of both in his debating and in
voting on motions and bills. We
have as Speaker, Russell Whitaker,
Clifford Mckinney is our Clerk;
Walter Mulberry, Assistant Clerk;
r. Theseus Johnson, Chaplain; and
A. V. Travis, Sergeant-at-Arms.
Professor Cunningham is our organ
izer and official advisor. The
standing committees of the Senate
are: Ways and Means, Foreign Az
fairs, Internal Affairs, Military
Affairs, Judiciary and Insular and
Territorial.
Do politics play any part? They
sure do" The seating of the Sem
ate is so arranged that the Demo-
Gratis occupy one side Of the hall.
the Republicans the other, and the
other parties (Progressives and So
cialists) the center. Each party
has its floor leader. As for spirit;
in the session Saturday evening,
Senator Evans, of Washington, cri-
ticized the present administration
in terms that would make the most
able Republican Senator in the
real" body, turn green with envy.
Furthermore, it has come TO our
ears that the present Speaker was
elected by certain political
which is already doing as
effective work as a Tammany or
Taft "steam-roller."
Who knows that within a few
weeks our United States Senators
will be visiting Berea to get infor-
nation from the Academy Senate on
how TO conduct their organization,
how to deliver their speeches or to
propose their billsl
Seriously, the Senate bids fair 10
be a genuine success. II gives the
student the desired literary train
ing, combined with a knowledge of
current events, politics and civics.
So join with us, men OF the third
and fourth years. Here is, per-
haps, your only chance ever TO be-
come a Senator.

Keeping good roads good Is the most
important task in connection with an
improved highway system, once the con-
struction work is completed. In the
United States in the past this task usual.
ly has been neglected, the improved
roads in many instances being allowed to
deteriorate until they became almost i'm.
passable, when they we're, at heavy cost,
rebuilt. That states and counties are
now coming to recognize the need OF
thoroughgoing maintenance, however, Ia
indicated by studies of county road sys-
TENS in different sections Of the country
recently made by the Office Of Public
Roads and Rural Engineering Of the de-
partment.
While some of the eight counties in
which intensive studies were made we're
found to have no provisions for mainte-
pance and others were found to pay for
upkeep of the roads out of boud.issue
funds, thus creating debt that would
outlive the temporary improvement BY
many years, two counties in widely sep
arated states we're found in which main
tenapce conditions were practically all
that could be desired. In Mississippi, 1t
was found, there Is state law requiring
that a special annual tax of at least l
mill shall be levied for the upkeep of all
roads constructed by means of bond
issues, the fund to be kept separate from
all other funds and to be used for main.
tepapce only. Instead of the deteriora-
ton taking place on the roads of some
OF the counties in other states on which
examinations were made, It was found
that In Lauderdale County, Miss, roads
built several years ago and maintained
from the special fund have actually i'm.
proved since their completion.
The county roads of Franklin County,
N. Y, 1t was found. are maintained with
a contribution of so percent BY the state
and under indirect state supervision. Az
q result of this system, the roads have
been kept up to their condition on CON-
pletiou. While provisions for mainte-
nance were on the whole not satisfactory
In the counties of the other states In
which studies were made, this condition
since has been remedied in Virginia by
the passage of state law providing that
an annual tax OF not less than percent
of the amount of bonds issued shall be
levied TO provide maintenance fund
for bond built roads.
The existence of a regulation tending
to lessen damage to roads and 80 to re-
duce maintenance costs was revealed by
the studies in Spottsylvania County, Va.
where the county supervisors had passed
an ordinance placing relatively low
limit on loads that may be hauled In
wagons fitted with narrow tires and q
considerably higher limit on loads for
wide-tired wagons. As result, most OF
the wagons using the roads of the county
have been fitted with tires ranging from
8 to 8 inches wide.
