.HE State of Virginia has acquired
a new manufacturing center


a new manufacturing center
within the last few weeks An
industrial plant has reared its huge
structures on what was formerly pas
ture and corn land, bringing hundreds
of factory hands to dwell in Guam
tico, Virginia. So entirely rural are
the surroundings, however, that hous-
ing facilities are extremely inadequate
and the plant is now offering free
week end excursions to surrounding
cities in order to get builders, con-
tractors and businessmen to look
Quantico over and learn to take her
seriously.
The rural factory town. which had
its beginning in Homestead and Pull
man in the early eighties, is fast be-
coming one of the great civic prob
lens OF the country. Attracted by
low land values the factories are leaV-
ing the crowded cities seeking the
open spaces and erecting their plants
and towns in frenzy of hurry with
out consideration for the requirements
of posterity. OF course, there are
some exceptions to this rule, but for
the most part the town is built for the
sole convenience OF the factory and
not for the health, sanitation and
comfort of its future citizens
In most cases the emigration of the
factory is confined 10 the rural dis
tricts skirting the large city. for it is
necessary to have at least one relia-
BILE market close at hand, and also
an abundant supply of labor. Thus
we have the various manufacturing
suburbs of Boston, the numerous
plants on Long Island and Staten
| Island, the factories on the outskirts
of Philadelphia, Sucn as the Baldwin
Locomotive works, the automobile
factories of Flint, Mich, not far from
Detroit
The first of these of any conse-
quence was Pullman. The dream of
big manufacturer who believed in
the paternalism principle as carried
out in England on the large landed
estates, Pullman was built in 1880 on
open prairie land lying south of Chi
cago. In five years a fair-sized in
dustrial town had risen, with wide
clean streets, shade trees, well-built
houses and sloping green lawns. There
were shops and stores hotel, a bank,
theater and library and recreation
grounds, all of which we're under the
patronage of the Pullman company,
which owned all the land. The peo-
pie lived in the houses, they attended
to the business and enjoyed the few
amusements, but they were never per-
mitted to forget that for these things
they were indebted to the house of
Pullman. The city, after all, did not
belong to them, and in due course
they became discontented.
A well-known professor described
the town as feudalistic, After this
| II was but a short time before the
town was annexed by Chicago and the
employees of the big train company as
serted their independence of the house
of Pullman by strike. The last

At this season the basic idealism of
American education is Towering in the
closing exercises Of countless schools
and colleges. Jane and johnny are
coming up by the ten thousand to get
all sorts of diplomas before halls
packed with more or less admiring
friends and relatives who marvel at
the sudden emergence from pigtails
and short trousers to this new dignity
of learning and hope In June il is
rather easy to think of Jane as the
home maker of the next generation.
NO amount OF thesis talk about the art

reactions among the coleoptera can
disguise the fact that there will be
rosebushes by the front door It's
lot harder to see in Johnny's heated
grin the embattled majesty of our
United States, and yet that is the fact.
If the worst comes to the worst in this
iron world we live in. it will be Johnny
who goes out to war. Most of the bows
in academy, high school and prep are
seventeen years of age or under, and
over eight hundred thousand such
youths enlisted in the armies of the
North during our Civil War. These
kids outnumbered all who enlisted at
ages greater than twenty-five years
The average college freshman is about
eighteen and the average senior, there

STATE COLLEGE BOYS

A LII over the United States. Penn
~ sylvania State College boys are
holding important positions.
None of them arc fire-eating mill
tarists and we have not heard that any
of them have any but the most peace
full desires They are interested in
the development of industry and not
in the creation of a great standing
army.
But if war ever did come, these
Pennsylvania State College graduates
would know how to take care of them
selves in the field They would be pre-
pared to meet the other fellow on his
own ground. They would not be poor,
helpless victims of the enemy's skill
to give and take. for State College for
many years has included regular army
instruction in its course and every boy
not physically unfit must know how
to handle a gun and how to conduct
himself in the ranks. The result is a
physical carriage that gives the average
State College boy the look of a West
Pointer, discipline that is beneficial
all through life, and a preparedness
that any day may stand him in good
stead.
Richard Stockton, Jr., in his book.
Peace Insurance" very ably expresses
the value of military training for the
student as follows
Military training has an impor-
actual military value. This is Hi't con- n1s
clusively proven in the. numerous
military schools of the United
United States: The majority of
these schools disclaim any attempt
tary training merely to make bet
ter citizens. They find that the
man trained militarily learns
obedience, promptness, cleanliness,
that priceless asset known as ex-
ecutive ability-the ability to make
others obey. Such schools form a
stronger character and make bet
ter men.
If this is true in a military school,
II must be equally so with similar
training received elsewhere II
| thousands of parents pay from $500
to $1,000 per year to secure this
training for their boys. surely there
men who receive this training in
the army. The fact is too well at
tested by educators throughout the
world to admit of serious question
ing.
There is food for thought in this for
those who have been condemning so
vehemeptly the introduction of mill
tary tAainipg in schools. The truth is

For a moment Jimmy was puzzled as

GIVE NATURE A
CHANCE
Don't Dry Up Your
Scalp With Soaps and
FOamins Mixtures

1t Is a common mistake
when dandruff, falling hair,
and other scalp diseases mani
fest themselves to resort to the
use of soaps, cocoanut oil, and
preparations containing aka
lis. If you are doing this, stop
right now.
A dry scalp is the primary
cause of dandruf and similar
affections. The use of soaps or
other alkalis (their presence is
assured in preparations that
foam) serve to dry the scalp.
Give your hair a good, stiff
brushing daily and get your
scalp back into perfect condi-
tion by the use of Speiser's
Scalp Tonic. This wonderful
preparation corrects the dry
ness and other abnormal condi-
tions, puts a stop to dandruff,
and actually promotes tia
growth of the hair. Speiser's
Scalp Tonic is sold only at
