WHAT CAN YOU DOT

One day while making trip in
the foothills of the Cumberland
Mountains we stopped at a typical
mountain cabin in quest OF drink
and place TO rest. We soon be-
came engaged in a conversation
with q bright little fellow, probably
ten or eleven years old, though
small for his age. He proudly IN
formed us that he had read his first
reader through. could add and sub
tract little and added, An ! can
write mas and pas aud my name.
When he asked us il we liked
our school marm," we laughed and
told him that we had several, that
we attended Berea College.
He looked at us in wild-eyed
wonder as though he were trying
to size us up and then he said
well, I low you mus be a-gettin'
pretty high up in yer books, amt
ye? What can we do9'
That little chap had unconsciously
climaxed his query with that all
vital question. What Can you dor
The world is asking that question
of every man and woman. IL is not
always the man who is highest in
his books" who makes the biggest
success. The man who can give the
world what il wants is the man OF
the hour, though he may never
have seen a college diploma, much
less having received one.
But the man OF woman who has
received the best preparation is the
one who can best answer the ques-
ton.
The Foundation School is especial
ly the department for young men
and women, boys and girls. who have
been out OF school for some time and
who did not finish the grades, and
those who were compelled to quit
school early in their work.
Berea Foundation School is the
place for you. We had over four
hundred young people like you last
year. II you are here, we are glad
to greet you. II you have not come,
write us that you are coming. You
will always ge glad you came.

President Frost tells the story Of
the man who spent over hundred
dollars TO make trip TO the Niagara
Falls and then refused TO pay ten
cents for the use OF field glass in
order that he might see that mar

advantage.
Many of us are doing the same
thing in school. Boys and girls are
making sacrifices and undergoing
hardships in order TO come to Berea.

stormy and wild night and this
morning the ship is rolling and
and pitching and being tossed
about like shuttlecock. The
waves have been washing the decks
all night long and once in a while
when some monstrous wave strikes
us fairly the ship staggers and reels
like a drunken man. We can't see
the rest of the fleet this morning.
| expect we have missed connection
during the storm, but I have just
heard that we shall sight land to-
day, and il is mighty good news.
Aug. 23.-"We are going up st.
George Channel and will probably
land at - this evening after two
weeks of sailing. I have a very
urgent request by these two regi-
ments of engineers TO be stationed
with them but do not know what
the plans of our London officers are
in the matter.
IF we land this evening I shall
likely stay all night in - and
take an early morning train for
London.
The Chaplain of the - Regi-
ment gave me an excellent letter Of
appreciation and thanks in behalf
of the officers and men and as leave
them | am indeed glad to have been
of some service to those fine fellows.
The experience of the two weeks
has given me very wholesome re-
spect for the navy and the way in
which the ship has been handled
has been splendid. Everyone on
board has been very courteous and
kind except one of the occupants
of our state room. He has been so
utterly selfish that il has panied
us extremely. There are four of
us in the room and he has persisted
in reading with the light on in the
early hours of the morning, filling
the already foul air Of the cabin wit
tobacco smoke and the fumes OF
brandy. He has been travelling
around the world and if he has
made any of his other companions
as uncomfortable as he has us |
hope that this is his last voyage.
The other night I had to sleep in
the smoking room to get away from
the intolerable conditions in the
state room and at the best was
able to enjoy about three hours OF
sleep day.
Aug. %. - We have just arrived
at and anchored for the night
in mid-stream TO go ashore to-mor-
row. As we came up the river the
boats and tugs blew their whistles.
Our band played, God Save the
King" the star Spangled Banner"
and other airs while the ferry boats
passed up and down and the people
on them cheered us wildly. AZ l am
not supposed to mention places |
cannot give you any real idea OF
the wonderful trip up the harbor.
The voyage has been the most I'M
ique and marvellous one have ever
known and will always live in the
memory of every man on board.

DOUBLES EGG HARVEST

The use OF milk In feeding
chickens will double egg pro.
duction, according to the poultry
section OF the Nebraska expert
ment station. The hen never lays
an egg until all the ingredients
necessary for the complete devel-
opment OF a chick are present.
Since the egg contains protein as
well as carbohydrates, any
amount OF carbohydrates fed In
the form Of grain will not offset
the necessity OF protein. MIX
given TO the birds, either rs a
drink or In the form Of wet
mash. will double egg yields.
Commercial meat scrap Is OF
equal value, and may be sub
stituted when milk cannot be OBJ

Academy Column
THE ACADEMY OF isi7-is

When the silvery moon early in
1917 sank below the horizon, and the
students Of the Academy Department
departed from the old halls OF learn
ing, there ras feeling Of sadness
crept over those teachers and friends
who gave their all to establish one
Ct the most progressive departments
OF Berea College. The year OF
1861 was a milestone in the
achievements OF the Academy. The
students were proud of their Depart
ment. They had accomplished Won
ders, even beyond the expectations
OF their teachers. During the hours
of our greatest hopes the war drew
us into its death like grasp. Ans
wering the call Of service, as has al
ways been our motto, many Of our
best young men cast their lot with
their nation to save its cause.
Greatest Number Ever Recorded
OF those who remained, none ex-
pccted large number this year,
but to our surprise the opening day
brought the largest number ever
recorded in our department this
early in the year. All are enthusi-
astic and the year bids fair to be a
success.
Fighters for Mankind
We have adopted the khaki uni
forms and when the call comes the
nation will find us fighting for the
common rights Of mankind. Our
boys will be under scientific mill
tary training within the next few
days. We believe there is nothing
better for the physique Of the stu
dent than we are contemplating Civ
ing the boys this year.
Literary Societies
The literary societies met Satur-
day night and all report good show
ing. The regular debate between
Pi Sigma and Beta Alpha will take
place this year. Friendly rivalry is,
they believe, the spice Of life. II
you wish to be where big things are
being done come to the Academy.
