For instance, we call fellow a

On the other hand, il would be hard
to express in ordinary language the

We will admit that slang can be
used TO an advantage sometimes, but
not enough TO justify the place
which il holds in our language to-
day. Most words that are used as
slang are perfectly good words when
used correctly hut their value has
been lessened by the abusive treat
ment they have received
The origin Of slang is generally
among the low classes, uneducated
people. Their conversation is prin-

MORITURI SALUTAMUS

I The month Of March, 1917, will
long be remembered as a month of
changes. The Germans changed
their lines of defense on the western
front and the government Of Russia
was taken from the hands of Ro-
manoffs by the people.
BY no means least among the
changes of this eventful month is
that in the editorial board IL the
Academy Column. As has been the
custom. a new staff has been chosen
to continue the work after the first
Of April. Upon careful considera-
ton of the work of the various liter
airy geniuses Of the Academy Depart
ment for the past year, il was decid-
ed that the staff for the ensuing
year should consist of: John Craft,
Dewey Lawson, Harlan Franklin.
Frances Settle and Edith Harwood.
The torch of learning and litera-
ture is handed to these new minds
and we expect to see il advanced
during the next twelve months.
The responsibility which falls on
these students is not great; but nei-
Their is il small. The success Of the
column is in their hands and they
should receive the loyal co-opera-
ton of the entire department.
With the installment Of this new
board begins the third year in which
the students of Berea have had
part in the publication Of The Citi-
zen." We feel that during this time
many students have been benefited
by this opportunity for expressing
their ideas and views of life. Many
have had the pleasure and satisfac-
ton of seeing their productions in
print. What has begun here will
continue in the future, for many
students will now have the courage
TO contribute to their home papers.
The old staff, in closing, wishes TO
thank all those who have taken an
interest in the work during the past
year. Especially do we extend our
appreciation TO Leonard Fenwick,
who did more than any other student
of the department to make the col
umn a success. Other contributors
whose efforts are appreciated are:
BereDice Brown, Harlan Franklin,
Ruth Davis, Howard Whitaker &c,
C. T. Mckinney, Sarah Esther Jones,
Allie Nickle. Malinda Burton, Walter
Mulberry, Rufus Morgan, Otto Ern-
berg and Mary Hatfield.

SLANG
By Burley Winton, Academy English


Slang is a poverty OF language
from the standpoint Of the educated.
II may be a class OF words more or
less artificial which are not recog-
nized as belonging TO the standard
vocabulary Of the language into
which il has been introduced. Slang
was not invented because Of its
superiority over other terms but
was invented partly into society as
a means OF concealing secrets and
as means TO describe what we term
fast-life.
Every locality has its own slang
words and phrases. So we see a
slang word used here would not
have the same meaning other places.
In fact, slang did not originate in q
desire 10 be understood.
As | have said slang is not part
Of the ordinary language, neither is
il an attempt TO supply its de-
flciences. However, IL does have a
deadning effect upon our language.
II is a substitute as a nickname is a
substitute for a proper name. In
fact nicknames may be described as
slang. We never nickname a person
unless there is some secret involved
or else we do ii sportively. II is

UPPER CHAPEL

In Upper Chapel Sunday night,
Doctor Roberts talked on mans
place and duty to his country. He
gave a very interesting review Of
the incidents that led up TO the
present international crisis, and
commented upon the spirit that
exists against militarism and aris-
tocracy. Speaking of Russia he
mentioned that a nation could in a
day cast off the yoke of a monarch
and become q free and independent
country. The time is rapidly APP
preaching when kings must go, and
democracies will be instead.

OHIO SETS EXAMPLE.
Board of Administration Makes
Wonderful Progress in Dairy
Production.

If farmers, dairymen, and stock
raiscrs follow the example that is
being set by the state itself, Ohio
will within very few years be the
greatest. state in the union for pure
bred cattle.
Few realize the advancement
that has been made during the past
few years by the state in raising
cattle, the production of dairy
products, and the success which
has been attained. During the
National Dairy show held in Co
lumbus, butter made at the Athens
hospital for the insane was award
ed the first state prize, and the
second national prize. The cottage
cheese made at the same inStitu-
ton was awarded the highest prize
as being the most perfect that was
exhibited al the big show.
And this is the same butter and
cheese that is being served the un-
fortunate wards of Ohio. But
probably the greatest honor came
when the public sale of cattle was
conducted, when hundreds OF pure
bred and pedigreed stock were
offered AT public auction. At this
sale "a six months old heifer, born
amid the hills of Athens county,
sold under the hammer after the
liveliest kind of bidding for
81, 800 cash. The purchaser soon
after was offered handsome
profit on his purchase. And this
valuable prize heifer was pur-
chased by an Ohio farmer who is
going to follow the example set
by the state.
The mother of this prize six
months old heifer produced an
average OF 33.O3 pounds Of butter
for seven days in a test recently
given, which is near the world S
record for a three-year-old.
Just two years ago DR.. 7. A.
Burnett, now state veterinarian,
but at that time doing similar
work with the administration
board, and D.. Creamer, member
Of the board, purchased 20 head Of
Holstein cattle at public auction
paying $4,000 for the herd. Today
these same cattle could be sold for
almost three times what they cost,
for two years have been producing
milk for the institutions where
they are being fed.
Irma Johanna Concordia, for
which an offer of $4,000 was re-
Gently rejected, the prize COW OF
the lot, has herself produced more
than l, 100 pounds of butter during
the year besides giving birth to
the prize calf which sold for
$1,000.
"It doesn't cost any more to
feed pure bred cattle than the
common scrub cow," said DR.. Bur
nett, and the profit in the pure
bred COW is so much more satisfac-
tory that cannot understand why
every farmer does not keep
them. ~
In the state herd no COW is kept
that gives less than 5000 pounds
of milk a year, and careful records
of everyone is kept by an expert.
