THE NEW BOOKS
aThe Challenge Of ST. LOUISE

THE Challenge of st. Louis" writ
ten by George B. Mangold, director of
the Missouri School OF Social Econ
omy in that city, is comprehensive
social study OF st. Louis, discussed in
two sections: First, the moral and
spiritual assets of the community;
second, the life and conditions of the
people and the evils to be overcome
The scope of Christianity includes
both these sections. This Is the au-
thors point.
Religiously, he points out, st. Louis
is well equipped to cope with its
problem. The majority Of her popula-
tion, excluding children. Is connected
with some church, whose influence is
widespread. On the other hand, the
diversity of her industries and the
fact that st. Louis is a melting pot,
different from most cities. changes the
situation.

HOUSE HEATING

One benefit will be derived from
the coal famine here and in other

will learn how to get the most out of

fifth of the energy of the coal con-
sumed In the furnace, stove and CRATE

quoted as saying. have failed utterly
to be responsive to the ethical, the
humane and the humanistic applica-
tions of intellectual truth. The Ger
man professors have been voluntary
or involuntary liars. Culture has
sunk into 'kultur,' and the Germans
thus vlctimized have proved to be
Huns. After the war we should ac-
cord a place in the history of the
world to the Germany of Schiller,
Goethe, Kant and Lessing, as a con-
trast to the Germany of Bismarck,
Moltke and the present kaiser"
In an address by DIR. r. W. Cooper
OF Chicago. it was brought out that,
probably, the colleges of the North
Atlntic states have suffered great
est loss in attendance because of the
war. Doctor Cooper, who is secre-
tary of the association, said, how
ever, that even the Federal Govern
ment found it difficult to get sta
tistics.
John c. Dinsmore of the Uniyer-
sity of Chicago told of cooperative
Purchasing by Colleges" His ad-
dress was discussed by DR.. Thomas
c. Howe, president OF Butler College,
indianapolis.
DIR. Alexander Meiklejohn, presi-
dent OF Amherst College, discussed
the last two years of the college
course. He said that when the his
tory OF American education Is writ
ten 1t will doubtless show the effect
traceable to the fact that DR.. Charles
W. Eliot of Harvard, as a chemist,
promoted the influence of the natural
sciences on the college curricuIa.
Doctor Meiklejohn urged that the
college course, however. be regarded
as Il connected whole, thereby aiding

COLLEGES AFTER THE WAR

Speaking on "The Three-Year
Course" at the recent meeting of the
Association of American Colleges in
Chicago, DIR. Edmund C. Sanford
president of Clark College, Worces-
ter, Mass, took the stand that, with
intensified work, much of the train
ing which now covers four years
could be given in three years, pro-
vided students and faculty cO-operated
and put forth their best efforts. In
this connection Doctor Sanford said
that, after the war, the demand for
universal military training probably
would, likewise, increase the demand
for a shorter college course. He EN-
phasized the point that the American
college, at the conclusion of this
world war, would be required to meet
world conditions. Doctor Sanford's s
address was discussed by DIR. J. H.
t. Main, president of Grinnell Col
lege, Iowa.
Another address of much interest
was delivered by DR.. Charles F.
Thwing. president of Western Re-
serve University, Cleveland. Doctor
Thwing spoke of The Prospects for
Liberal Education After the War"
Then, he said. we shall need human
culture as never before. AS contrib
uting mainly to liberal instruction,
Doctor Thwing enumerated history,
literature, philosophy and religion.
He devoted attention, also, to a dis
cussion of what may be termed THE

II additional quarters are needed
for the National Army aud there may
be a need when the next draft Is
made. Missouri hopes 'nCle Sam will
consider Camp Clark at Nevada.
Camp Clark could be prepared for
a large body of men quickly. as il took
care of 1900 last summer. While
the first 10000 were arriving arrange
ments could be made for caring for
several thousand more. The camp
now includes 4iO acres of land and
an abundance Of pure water.
Nevada is a good town and a dry
town. which may be two ways of say
ing the same thing. When the guards
men were stationed there. drunken
ness was unknown Another point i'm
its favor is that of 1900 soldiers en-
camped. there was not death from
Illness.
Missouri wants the Government to
do what is best for the soldiers and
if better places are available for
camps, she will say nothing, but she
wants to be considered.
