Five hundred men, women and chill
aren from the Baptist and Methodist
Sunday schools Joined in picnic ex-
cursion to Waterloo, where they spent
the day on the Cedar river. THE only
incident of startling character was a
ducking accident to little Roy Tuffree,
son of Edmund Tuffree. While at
tempting to climb upon a barge an
chored near the shore he fell into the
river and was about to be drawn un-
der the boat when Mrs. Theodore Utz
ran into the water and, with the as
sistance of others, rescued him after
he had been pretty thoroughly
drenched. 1t was narrow escape, and
but for the presence of mind of the
lady mentioned it might have been
worse"

So successful was the pumping test
made from the first deep well in the
city water field that the contractor
who sank it began today to sink a sec
ond deep well with twelve-inch cas-
ing. The first well had six-inch cas-
ing. It is believed. that the twelve
inch casing can be sunk to depth
equal to that of the first deep we'll. 1t
is to be put down among the old wells
near the south end Of the water field.
The pumping test of the first well
was stopped late Monday afternoon az
ter being in progress continuously for
flfty-two hours. During that time the
water supply department estimates
that over a million gallons were
pumped from it and when the test was
finished the water stood eight inches
higher in the well than when the test
was begun.
A thermometer used in testing the
temperature Of the water after it had
been drawn into small pail showed a
temperature Of 81, and it is estimated
that the temperature Of the water rose

"ln an age including SO many types

anarchists, religious DIRECTORS, on the

too early to condemn higher education

Hard as it Is at times to realize
this, we ourselves are now at war.
Shall we be victors, or will the en-
envy triumph? How important, in the
end, is the answer to this question, in
this valuation of education! This. is
most clearly illustrated, for example,
by reference to the highly concrete
point. whether or not the schools of
our nation will undertake more mill.
tary training than in the past. If the
war shall terminate indecisiyely or
somewhat indecisively, there is no
doubt possible that we shall be com

be imperative that we do this. We
shall have no choice. If, however,
