and college friends, one learns Of
other ideas and ideals than ones
avn. There is ability now to apprc-
ciate other men, other situations,
other times. One no longer knows
il all, but is receptive Of new light,
with eyes that look out literally
upon a new world. And it is such
spirit that has made for progress,
that has given us books and tools,
the ak and saw, "chisels" and auto
mobiles, telephones and telegraphs,
electric plows and airoplanes, rail-
roads and steamboats,. What if men
who had vision of these things and
far lesser ones in proportion had
said: the old will do? When vision
is lost, ambition dies, thought is
stultifled, and the soul shrivels.
Christian Character Developed
Yet another gain obtained through
college is the development through
Christian character. This state
ment assumes that the college is a
Christian college, in purpose and IN
spirit, through and through. Other
wise, to my thinking, the college Is
peril. For it takes more than a
college curriculum to make an ef-
ficient, dependable, sensible, and
! Trustworthy person. The Duke OF
Wellington said: Educate men
without religion and you make them
clever devils"
Now, | recognize that the Chris
tian life can be nurtured anywhere,
is not dependable on college walls.
But | desire to emphasize that the
Christian college recognizes the su-
preme claim of the spiritual nature
and seeks to develop it; recognizes
that the Christian life, life in
Christ, is the one thing that gives
value to other things,-even to the
intellectual, social, and ethical.
Gain Through a Christian College
Such is the chief gain obtained
through a Christian college: the
development of Christian charact-
er; the gain Of furniture for the soul;
patience, self-control, Kindness,
charity, a sense of true values, the
spirit of service, and purpose to take
ones responsible part in the world
And for this work there are men
and women, at once teachers ana
/ friends, whose joyous desire is u
help students To such life.
But other gains are not to Ne for
gotten: the drawing out OF ones
latent talents and powers. prepare
tion for living and helping one to
find ones mitch in the world; also
placing one in the way OF happiness,
efficiency, and social service; the
gain OF friends, a larger vision
concentration, confidence, courage,
habits OF reading and study, love oil
books, and other manifold gains oil
Christian character.

WHY SHOULD ONE GO TO
COLLEGE1
By George whitefeld Mead, Phi. D.

BY George Whiteheld Mead, Phi. d.
Many young people, seeing other
young people full Of interest and
enthusiasm going of to college,
are earnestly asking: Why should
one go to college? Just where Is
the gain? What are the benefits?
My answers are suggested by
practical experience, out of the
work of life, where | have increas-
ingly realized the great benefit OF
college TO me.
A First Great Gain
A first great gain Of college is, ]
believe, the drawing out, the de-
velopment, of ones latent talents
and powers, equipping one to meet
the varied, and often surprising, de-
mands of daily living. An oyster
knows no such demands, has no
problems. How much is mans
life better than an oysters? The
measure of the richness and fullness
of ones life is its range above the

oyster plane OF mere exlStence. Lille
is full of opportunities, duties, prob
lens, beauties, joys, response
bilities. One may ignore them and
so limit the world in which one
lives, for then these things are to
him as though they were not. Or
one may respond alphabetically
to them, enter into and enjoy them.
Then the larger world is the world
in which he lives. The gain through
going to college is that of a mentai,
social, and spiritual development.
that opens to us and fits us for hap
piness and service in the larger
world.
Ability to Think
True, a college imparts informa-
tion, lot of it. And this is often
regarded by young people who know
it only at distance as its one work.
They picture it possibly as a great
factory that whizzes and rattles,
huns and bangs, as it grinds out
facts which teachers shovel into the
mental poke of students, until the
poke can hold no more. But the
benefit of college is far larger,
richer, grander. College unfolds
ones life to ones self, develops la
tent vital qualities, both mental and
spiritual. Now, instead of mere
hungering for facts, there are pow
ers for finding out facts for ones
self, there is ability to think, to dis
Germ, to weigh, to judge, to decide
even in the confusion of new con-
ditions,-and ability to do. That
this is true is evidenced in the
sparkling streams Of bright, ef1ici-
ent, happy and expectant students
going out from graduating depart
ments of college every year.
Latent Forces Within You
To those young people who are
longing to go to college but who
have not yet mustered up spunk
enough TO go, want to say that the
same latent forces found within
others are within you, that what
others have done you can do, as
others have grown so you viii
grow, and, like them, experience
the consciousness Of powerful you
will give yourself a chance.
Man was created in the image Of
God, is spirit Of His spirit, anil
therefore, is appointed to success
is expected TO succeed, can succeed
And it is a sin to be failure. Bul
success must be nurtured, must be
achieved, - hence the necessity Of
the college.
The college, too, helps one to gel
ones bearings for life's work. Thi:
is important. No one wants to be
square peg in round hole.
Mitch for Each Person
| believe there is a mitch in life
for each person, into which each
person fits. In other words, thai
there is a particular work which
one can do or place which one car
fiji better than any other. The col
lege with its complex life (Which
psychology tells us is essential to de-
velopmenD, sympathetic teachers
spirit, purpose, and equipment
ought TO so draw out commanding
talents OF students as TO help theif
in adjustments for life's work.
Larger Vision
Another valuable thing obtained
through college is larger vision
and sense Of proportion. Through
association with teachers. students

Loading Platform
On Walkers Siding

The Baltimore and Ohio railroad
company is building a platform on
Walkers Siding for the loading and
of automobiles this summer.
In order to do this work the dirt
which had accumulated at the switch
had to be moved out with the use of
a steam shovel. This dirt is what is
left Of the fill that slipped onto the
railroad tracks las tsummer. The plat
form will DO 90 feet long and will place
two cars at once for unloading
