COLBY IN 1885 AS
1T APPEARED TO
ENGLISH EYES

Rev. E. C. Whittemore, who has re-
Gently been reading an account OF the
visit to this country in 1885 of the
president of the Baptist Union of Eng
land Rev. A. r. Cox, DID, LID,
and Rev. I. Holly. DID,, one of the
prominent members of the Union, tells
Of their visit to Maine and Water
vile, briefly. He says that on the ar
rival Of Dr. Co m Waterville he was
warmly welccU I'd into the agreeable
abode Of DR.. Babeock, then president
Of the college, where every one was
engaged in busy preparation for
commencement. DR.. Cox in his book
wrote OF Watervile, The pleasing
and retired aspect of the whole 10
caI!ty and its position with reference
u the State of Maine in general,
adapts it to a great institution of
learning and l was gratified to find
the sympathies of very class of the
community enlisted in this object.
They have not waited for a long revo-
luton Of time. the clearance of the
country and the progress of refinement
before attempting literary estab-
lishment, but have with the zeal of
Americans, and the diScernment of
legislators. patriots and philosophers,
commenced at once the refining pro-
cess-the moral amelioration of this
noble state in the provision of a
storehouse of knowledge for her ris-
ing sons.
Considerably more than one-half of
the students in college are regularly
engaged in labor three hours day.
They earn from so cents to $3.50 a
week, but on an average they pay for
their board with their labor
lie adds: All the students are re-
quired to read from the Greek Tesla
ment into English, without note or
comment in connection with morning
prayers in the chapel" DR.. Cox ap-
proved OF. the splcndor of the COM
mencement procession and then said,
Hours of much interest glided away
while We listened to the various eX-
ercises of the candidates for degrees"
He felt however that the art of ora
tory was neglected, not only at Wa
tervile, but at all the American col
leges.

FAIRGROUNDS
FOR WATERVILLE

Francis Mclean of New York, who Is
making a survey of the city, addressed 4
gathering of women at the home Of Mr..
noon Oh the subject of Fairgrounds. Nj.
Mclean spoke of the great importance OF
the playground movement, going into the
matter in an analytical manner. He said
that Fairgrounds are more important
than simply affording a place for chill
air, they afford them place of natural
expansion, which has been hindered by
the rush and hustle of living in the mod
ern times.
1T isn't SO much the apparatus, said
Mr.. Mclean, las it is the actual direction
Of play with trained workers. Along
with our increased intensity of living
there has been a relaxation in the at
traction of the normal play of children,
such as we knew years ago, ana that is
what We have to substitute
Mr.. Mclean said that the playground
should be located in the part of the city
where the children are living who need
1t most, because Of being poorer circum-
stanced, but he emphasized the fact that
all children need the revivifying influence
OF the playground work acquired under
right conditions. In his opinion Water
vile would need at least two Fairgrounds
as there is no favorable central location
and the distance would be too great for
children to cover otherwise.

Railroad Bill Hearings
The Senate and House interstate COM
merce committees today continued their
hearings on the railroad bill. Before the
House committee Interstate Commerce
Commissioner Anderson reiterated that it
seemed impra cticable to change the bill
to provide for termination of government
control at a specific time after the war.
This would cause chaos in railroad affairs,
he said, and the proper procedure should
be to leave the question of return of the
roads to private control to future determi-
nation by Congress.
Representative Moore Of PENNSYLVANIA
asked the committee to send the bill to
provide specifically for government CON
troll of canal transportation facilities.
Members of the United States employees
compensa ton commission advocated that
railroad men should be regarded govern
ment employees.
Testifying before the Senate commit
tee, George NJ. Shriver. vice president of
the Baltimore & Ohio, suggester that
compensation should be based on property
investments as Of Dec. 81, 1917. rather than
June 80, 1917, as proposed in the bill. The
average return on investment of the 81
principal eastern systems for the three
year average suggested by the Presden,
was 5.54 per cent he said. He argued
that the eastern railroads had added $40,
N00D to their previous investment in the
last of 1877. Consequently if provisions OF
the bill are carried out, he said. the east.
ern roads return on property investment
really would be 533 per cent.
Officials in close touch with the railroad
situation in its new aspects said toda,
that many rate revisions would becom,
necessary now that government operatf-.
has removed competition on which rats
heretofore have been largely based. TIL,
