About the only argument advanced
against such a proposal today at the
War Department by officers who were
informally asked their opinion was that
Washington and vicinity might be in
advisable for such a location owing to
its near proximity to the Atlantic sea-
board and the possibility of the quick
capture or destructi On of such a plant
by an enemy in time of hostilities.
That argument against Washing
ton location for such plant or plants,
however, is offset. it is stated at the
War Department. by the fact that labor
conditions on the Atlantic seaboard are
more suitable than they would be in the
far west.

Augusta Rotary Club
Holds Meeting Friday
Large Attendance with Most Interesting Program Augusta
HousePesident Roberts of Colby College and Mayor Vies
the Speakers

There was a large attendance at the
tary Club Friday evening at the Au-
gusta House and it is generally ad-
mitted that the meeting was the most
enthusiastic and successful that the
club has yet held. John E. Nelson,
president of the club. presided. The
speakers of the evening We're Presi-
dent Roberts of Colby college and
Mayor Blaine S. Viles
After the supper. the menu of which
included broiled live lobster and all
the fixings, the post-prandial exer-
cises were held.
President Roberts address was up
on the subject of college attendance
and it was thoroughly appreciated by
all the members of the club. The
speaker brought to his audience the
reasons for the increase in college at
tendance during the past few years.
The subject was of interest to all
present and President Roberts pres
entation of the facts was very mas
terly. He spoke of the increase in
college attendance during the. past
few years as being faster in proper
ton to the increase in population and
he gave a number of reasons for this.
The first reason is the changed at
titude of business toward the college
student. Business houses that % years
ago would not accept college students
are inquiring today for these students.
! The second reason is athletics. And
another reason is that it is easier for
a man to work his way through col
lege than formerly.
The speaker stated that the boys
get into the habit of being busy while
at college and after graduation this
habit remains with them. The essen
tails of college education, as given
by President Roberts are: 1st, to train
the students in habits o1oindustry; End,
to make them interested in politics.
And he spoke of the opportunity for
the men now in college on account Of
the war and the changes in affairs
which will be brought about by the
war. In closing he stated that the
purpose of education was not to bene-
fit the individual but the public and
/ the student who strives to gain an
education for his personal benefit
misses the true aim of education.
Mayor Viles gave an interesting talk
