The readjustments succeeding the
great War call for a careful review of
all social, civic, educational, political,
and churca organizations and activi-
ties. There will be a re-appraisal of
values and a clearer understanding OF
the Legitimate character and quality
of the work assigned to every human
institutions she more important the
service rendered to society by the in
stitution, the more critical will be the
review of It's field of activity and the
quality of the work which shall be per-
formed. In as much as educational
institutions rank first in training intel.
ligence and preparing leadership in
the business and in the ideals of life,
1t will follow that all education must
come under a more detailed examina-
ton than 1t has experienced hitherto.
Society will determine what special
function should be performed by each
unit of Its public and privately sup
ported systems OF education. Agree
mclt will be universal, that the objec-
tive of education is to train for loyal,
devoted, and progressive citizenship.
This objective must be common to the
work of the graded schools, the high
schools, the normal schools, the State
University, and the privately endowed
colleges.
With the strengthening of the pub
licly supported educational units, we
must inquire what is the function of
privately endowed colleges, and are
they adequately evaluated? We can

NORTHLAND FACILITIES
TAXED BEYOND CAPACITY
Piece of Work With Inadequate
Buildings and Equipment.
BY j. D. BROWNELL
President, Northland College.

Northland College, n of the eight
institutions which are members of the
Wisconsin Colleges Associated, which
is today engaged in a campaign to
familiarize the people of Wisconsin
with the problems of the voluntarily
maintained college, is the one distinc-
lively missionary college in the State.
It's function is primarily to give higher
training to the children of the foreign
population in the north. This is a task
of Americanization, which is vital to
the best development of the commun-
.ity in the northern half of the State.
1t stands alone, the only college of
any description, north Of Appleton,
with a rapidly developing rural popula-
ton and fast growing commercial in
terests. Already It's facilities are en-
tirely inadequate to meet the demands
made. upon it.
Ninety per cent of the students are
entirely self-supnorting. Three princi-
pal industries managed by the college
the manufacture Of concrete block,
commercial printing, and the college
farm and dairy-provide the means OF
self support. An industrial endow-
ment of $4,000 will provide added
equipment and support to enable dou-
BILE the number of students now cared
for to earn their way.
One additional building is impera-
tive to provide auditorium and dormi-
tory facilities. The library of $500 vol
umes should be doubled and a per-
manent fund of $4,000 provided for
upkeep and the purchase Of books.
The endowment of $105,OO0 should
be multiplied by five that the faculty
can be increased to keep pace with the
growth and a living salary scale" be
established for faculty members. AT
present the scale of $500 to $1,000 is
lower than the wage of ordinary Ia
borers.
Northland College is now doing for
the immigrant population of North
Wisconsin what Tuskegee Institute is
doing for the colored race in the
South,-is the statement made by one
of the leading educators of the State.

into cartridges a site near the

now this industry is going with
about forty people employed.
Several buildings have been

of the state in 100 pound lots.
If success comes from the
demonstrations now. being car
ried on in the state, another

cured from the government and
the Bayfield, packing plant may
become an industry that need
not be laughed at.

Educational Defence

not approach an answer to these in
qulr1es without re-stating the histor-
zeal fact that the privately endowed
colleges are the mother schools of the
educational system in America. More
over. the privately endowed colleges
have been especially developed in ord
er to stress Christian education. They
are not in competition with .state-suD-
ported schools, but they are very posi-,
tive cooperating agents with the
state-supported institutions.
By reason of their history land their
charters, they are effectively organ
lied to strengthen the state-supported
schools, which might otherwise be
forced to stress unduly material edu-
cation. Privately endowed J colleges
exist for the purpose of cooperating
In moral and religious training. It is
fundamentally important that state
supported schools have the education
al and spiritual backing which, the pri-
vately endowed colleges have always
supplied, and which they must, offer in
an increasing degree II OUR state
schools are to be protected from an
increasing demand for mate&ial educa-
ton.
1t Is necessary for the churches to
foster both the publicly supported and
the privately endowed educational &C
tivities in Wisconsin. They can do
no less than to use their best influence
to awaken public consciousness to the
important service rendered by each of
these divisions. 1t should be clearly
understood also that a vigorous effort
to awaken public consciousness to the
mission of Christian education Is no
disloyalty to state-supported schools.

Gold Leaf.

There appears to be some mystery
about the origin Of gold leaf. 1t Is
found, for example, In connection with
the most ancient known mummies
having been used for covering teeth,
tongue, skin, etc. Sometimes it Is
also found on the collins. Gold leaf
was also used on the tombs and monu-
ments of ancient Egypt. The process
Of making gold leaf has thus been
known since the eighth century, B. G
In the eleventh century it seems ia
have attained as high a degree -of
perfection as today. The gold leaf on
some ancient Grecian pottery, indeed,
Is as thin as that now used.

THE ADVANTAGE OF COLLEGE.

The child without training has only
one chance ii 100000 of performing
distinguished service; with element
ary education his chances are multi
piled by four, and with a high school
education training by 81. Finally, a
college education creates an opportun-
ity 500 times stronger than that of the
uneducated worker. All of which is
additional reason why the appeal Of
the Wisconsin Colleges Associated for
an adequate endowment should meet
with a generous response.

IT BEGINS to look as if the
corn belt line had been pushed
north. No finer corn was ever
grown than is being exhibited
by the farmers of the Bayfield,
county region this year. There
was a time years ago when corn
could not be grown successfully
in southern Wisconsin but year
by year the line has been ex-
tended north and we will see
the day when Bayfield, county
can mature corn without fear of
frosts. Bayfield, county has as
long a growing season as south
ern Wisconsin points and as soon
as seed can be obtained from
corn which has become acclimat-
ed then our troubles are over.
The best of all is the fact that
Bayfield, county has never known
a crop failure and when corn
can be matured here it will prove
an attraction to the corn farmer
and then watch prices of land
soar.
