Mr Arredondo expects to receive in

brought him into comical situations
which he himself would tell about aft

Works." will bear repetition.
One day in Moscow he was walking
along a narrow sidewalk when an In
toxicated man crawled, staggering
along. to meet him. When the stranger
caught sight of Leo Nikolaeyitch he
came to anchor, as 1t were, and with

New Brunswick, June 14:-"Get In
to politics. Train yourselves to hold Of
fice." This was the plea of DR.. Graham
Taylor, of Chicago. sociologist, ana
president of the Chicago School OF
Civics and Philanthropy, to the alum
nj of Rutgers College at their annual
banquet yesterday afternoon.
He declared that the state is taking
over more and more the functions that
hitherto have been carried out by priv
ate organizations. Education, phtlan-
thropy, social justice, all these are fast
becoming an integral part of gov
|ment, and men of the highest cflarac-
ter are needed to administer them.
DR.. Taylor declared that Americans
have been neglecting their political
duties, that the immigrants who come
here seeking freedom are more anx-
|ious for the welfare Of the country
than are the native born. and he told
of a big demonstration Of 10000 Pol
|ish- Americans recently in Chicago
where the American flag was honor
led.
OFFICIAL announcement of the OPEN
ling of the campaign to secure dn en-
dowment fund of at least a million dol

He said that 1t would probably take
about a year to raise the fund, bu. that
he was confident that the Rutsers
