What Memorial Day Means.

II Is the solemn contemplation OF
what the civil war and Its conse-
quences really meant In the history Of
our country that makes Memorial days
celebration most valuable. IL Is re-
ligious regard for the pillars OF popu-
lar government, for the principle OF
liberty regulated by law. for the preser-
walton OF popular representative insti-
tutions, which this days ceremonies
should consecrate and strengthen. On
this day II Is the high duty OF all the
people TO revitalize their love OF their
country and renew their devotion 10
the limitations OF its constitution
which have made It permanent and
useful to the people and 10 reject with
stern and nintlike front all light sug-
gesuons Of change In those principles
which II has cost centuries OF struggle
and hecatombs Of lives to secure and

is false notion Of service. We now
realize that education is a prepara-
tion for work in order TO be OF
greater service not only in the pro-
fessions but in the common tasks,
that greatest social service is in do
ing our own individual vocation or
calling efficiently. We need not be
Judge, or doctor, or preacher; we
may serve our community greatest
by being an efficient baker, or farm
er, or blacksmith. What we should
seek for is skill and efficiency-to
become expert in our chosen work.
The school then should give the
student this sane and true sense OF
yalues-a right attitude toward his
work, and a realization that he has
a common share in the work and
progress Of the world.

vOCATI0NAL-COLLEGE

In the last game of the champion
ship series Monday the Vocational
nine defeated that Of the College
SO. This was the third game be-
tween these departments. The 9TH
ers were won by the Vocational
team; yet they were very close, one
going twelve innings and the other
eleven. The game Monday was
somewhat slow on account OF the
inclemency Of the weather.
The quality OF baseball this year
has been higher than for several
years before. The championship
games have been especially inter
esting. By winning the game Mon
day the Vocational Department
cinched the pennant for 1916.

SUNDAY NIGHT SERVICE

Sunday night in Main Chapel Doc
tor Roberts delivered one of the
most interesting addresses of the
year. His subject was "Matrimony.'
His advice on that subject which Is
ever interesting and never old, was
sound and logical. His humor at
the expense Of the unmarried, the
married. and the would-have-beens
was rich and enjoyable This ser
mon was of great practical value
giving the students many new ideas
on one of the most vital questions.
He told the sort of woman young
man should marry and vice versa.
He gave rules for the acquiring and
for the keeping of wives and hus-
bands in the most scientific manner.

PHI DELTA BANQUET

Monday night the Phi Delta Lit
erary Society gave its annual ban
duet in the Main Dining Room Of
Ladies Hall. The room was beautl-
fully decorated in orange and black.
Daisies and orange blossoms were
scattered amid the greenery. Each
table was adorned by a large bou-
duet of roses.
After a sumptuous dinner the fol-
lowing program was rendered:
ECHOES
POSTMASTER .Arleigh Griffin
THE Passing of Aristocracy"
William Dean
Onward and Upward-Alone"
Jesse Otto Osborn
"lnternationalism"
Greed o. Harrison
Universal Peace" ... Homer Lewis
The program was to represent a
great world welfare conference such
as will doubtless be held when the
present war has closed. IL was inn
possible for the speakers to treat all
or the problems of that convention.
They took up four of the greatest
ones.
The great question of capital and
labor and the gradual rise of the
common people was handled in a
mastery manner by Mr.. Dean in his
The Passing of Aristocracy."
The materialstic spirit of the age
was attacked by Mr.. Osborn in his,
Onward and Upward,-Alone' in
which he predicted a great intel
lectual and spiritual renaissance to
come as the result of the present
war. He made a deep and philoso-
phical plea that the human race per-
severe in its search for ideality.
The passing of the national spirit
was discussed by Mr.. Harrison. He
gave a logical exposition of the
thought of the modern world on this
subject.
In the concluding number Mr..
Lewis presented plan for world
peace in which he gave education as
the only remedy. His plea was
strong and practical.
Music was furnished by two quar-
tets:
Ladies Quartet: The Misses Edith
Frost. Susie Holiday, Eunice Pear
son. Elsie Atzenhoefer.
Male Quartet: Clarence Michel,
Luther Ambrose, Frank HOagland,
William Crouch.
Piano-Miss Margaret Todd.
The program as whole was not
only entertaining but highly in
structive as well. Such occasions
add much TO the education Of Col
lege students.
About 40 members and friends
enjoyed the evening together.

HOW TO MAKE A ROAD
BY Elizabeth Ridqway

II you should be called upon 10
give some points in building a pub
lie highway both for use Of autos
and other vehicles, the following is
the best:
A eft. road is more convenient
for town use while loft. is the av-
erage for any country road. Strings
and pegs set up can be used for
measuring. The road must be slant
I'd from the center To each side. 3-5
inch to each foot. The crushed
stone costs about 81 per ton deliver
ed, while the metal used costs 80
cents per ton. A wagon ilat-bed
will hold about 5000 pounds. The
rock should be spread over the
road eleven inches thick and wet.
This is to preserve or bring out the
lime. IL is then rolled. II is then
wet and rolled again.
This road will last or should last
on an average of 3 to 10 years be-
fore any repairing is needed. II the
road should wear out which il fire.
quently does by the hard travel and
suction Of the auto Of the auto tires,
always mend il with the same ma
terial as road was made from.
But now for the plain country
roads. In many counties there is no
bodybuilding material. We can use
gravel and dirt for these mountain
roads. The road must be at least
i6 II. wide for convenience. On each
side Of the road a ditch must be
dug 10 to ~ inches deep. In the
mountains il is necessary often
times to go up large steep hills. The
road must be built up to make IL
less steep. A five foot rise for ev-
cry 100 feet is best. II il is TO be
made from gravel, make from gTav-
Ell and not part dirt. Always ditch
the upper side of the road and put
in culverts to prevent washing. II
this ditch fills up with dirt, dig 10
out and fill up, the middle Of the
road. When ruts begin TO come,
pile up dirt from sides. After rain
use a MISUNDERSTANDING. II will
then turn water.

THE SOCIAL IDEA IN EDUCATION

In our educational system We
have passed thru several periods.
First there was the Proficiency-in-
war period; then came the seclusion
period, when the educated man liv-
ed in the monastery secluded from
the rest of the world; following that
came the Commercial-spirit period,
and finally we have come to the
modern period-the Social Service
period.
The idea which dominates this
period is that the child should be
trained TO act in a social way. We
have come TO realize that each indi-
vidual is a part Of the community in
which he lives, that what affects
him affects the community. II he is
non-productive he is hindrance; if
productive he renders service TO all.
So in accord with this idea, modern
education aims to so train the child
that he will be of greatest possible
service 10 his fellows, will contri-
butte most TO the common good; in
other words 10 have community
spirit. Service is the keynote OF
modern education.
II is of what constitutes this so
cial service that | wish TO say few
words. How can one be Of greatest
possible service, how contribute
most 10 the common goodY The ten
dency OF education in the past has
been along the idea that ii was 10

above the common work. From the
viewpoint OF modern education this
