GRANT AND LEE
VS..
DEMOSTHENES

The Grant and Lee societies OF
the Foundation schools challenged
the Dcmosthencs Society OF the
Vocational schools TO basketball
game last Monday. The Demos
themes accepted the challenge and
one Of the most interesting games
yet played this season was the re-
suit.
The girls of each department,
thus represented. were out and con-
tributed their part TO the spirit OF
the occasion by yelling for the So
ciety of their department. We are
sure we voice the sentiment OF
each society when we say that the
players appreciated the sympathy
of the girls very much.
The Demo9thcnes boys, full Of the
characteristic Vocational pep,
started into the game as though
they knew that they were going to
win. The Grant and Lee boys put
up a brave fight, but they were
lust a bit to small for the big De-
mosthcnes men, and so the latter
carried off the victory with score
of 80 TO II. who could lose with
the girls Of the Vocational yelling
for them? Rah! Rail- Vocational.

THE GAINS FROM EDUCATION

To judge the value OF education
solely by money is narrow way
TO look at it, Still il is all many
people consider. And even judged
by that test education abundanuy
makes good. d.
Figures Of the earnings Of college
students at various periods after
graduation show average salaries
or other compensation very much
above what these with less school
ing get. One Of the most interesting
tests Of the practical returns Of edu-
cation made a few years ago by pe0-
pie who not only fguratively but ac-
tually came from Missouri, namely,
lay the University OF Missouri. II
was study of returns Of individ-
ual farmers in Johnson County,
Missouri. made with a thorough
ness that was very convincing. II
related only TO farmers, a class some
members OF which were formerly
rather skeptical concerning the
value Of education.
A survey of $50 farms was made
in this investigation. and Of these
farmers. 55i had had only a dis
trict school education, while i02
had more then that.
II was found that the better edu-
Gated farmers operated 80 percent
more land, and owned four-tlfths of
the lanG they cultivated. Only
three-iifths of the land operated by
the poorly educated farmers was
owned by them. The educated far
mers earned seveniy-one percent
more clear income and kept one
sixth more stock.
The amount of time a young per-
son spends in education for any
calling is only a small part OF his
life. II can do one of two things
One kind of education will give him
exceptional skill in some one call
ing, which will be rewarded
promptly by exceptional pay. And
the other kind Of education will
give him a general development OF
his faculties, enabling him TO think
more clearly, broadly, and cOmpre-

BEREA Y. M. c. A.

A very interesting and enthusi-
astic meeting Of the Y. NJ. C. A. was
held in the Upper Chapel last Sun
day night After the devotional
part of the meeting the President
introduced Mr.. Franklin, who gave
a spirited and inspiring address on
THE Big Three" that is the three
epochal events in a mans life. He
used rs a text Prov. g. . 6.
The first great choice in mans
life is the choice of religion. After
eliminating other religions, the
speaker showed that the only wise
choice was TO choose the religion OF
Jesus Christ, and as true follower
of Him to play well the part for
which God had placed him in the
world. Only thru fitting ones self
into Gods program can one be
truly happy.
The second great choice is the
choice Of ones life work. To
rightly choose, a man must seek the
direction Of God, and do the task
that the Divine Father has assigned
TO him. Be faithful TO the task, do
the bidding Of God, not question
ing what is accomplished. Avoid
the tragedy of misspent life by
acknowledging God" and allowing
Him n direct thy path"
The third great choice-the choice
of a companion thru life-the
speaker stated that he would omit
on account of lack of time and ex-
perience.
After the address the quartet
sang Peace, Sweet Peace.
A large number were, present and
a great interest was shown. The
invitation is extended to all young
men of the Institution who do not
attend religious service in some
other place at this hour. Come next
Sunday evening at 6:i5. Rev. Carl
+. VOgel will lead the meeting.

BOYS LAY OUT DRAINAGE SYSTEM

Professor Baird took three of his
boys of the Agricultural Engineer
ing Glass on a surveying trip, some
few days ago, and I considered my
self very fortunate in being one OF
those boys TO get this interesting
trip.
We left Berea, bright and early,
and arrived at the farm, about 1890
am, all feeling fine for the task
before us.
The farm contains ais acres Of the
best bluegrass land, and is located
in Jessamine County, on the Har-
rodsburg pike, ten miles from Lex
ington. and is owned by Mr.. Earring,
we'll known miller Of Richmond.
Our work was to lay out a drain
age system TO drain a swamp OF
several acres of fine land which was
to be tiled. The first thing TO do
was TO determine whether the out
let was lower than the intake, and
how much. II was found that there
was plenty of fall. Then we began TO
lay out the system. We had not
been at work very long when good
news came, Dinner is ready"
We drove out TO the farm house
for dinner, and we found this home
10 he an old Colonial Mansion. Mr..
Earring was very glad TO tell us Of
its history.
This house was first owned by
Col. Meade, who was a great ad-
mirer of Lafayette, and, hearing that
Lafayette was TO visit Lexington. he
had a room of this house built TO
entertain him and seven other
famous royal guests. II was built
octagonal shape. Col. Meade went
to Lexington for Lafayette and the
other royal men, and while he was
gone the workmen fell out over who
was to be boss and left the job in
complete. The news reached Col.
Meade and the great reception was
called Off.
The next man to own this old
estate was Mr.. Steele, the father-in-
law of Earring. Mr.. Steele was a
very wealthy bluegrass farmer.
Mr.. Earring is doing a great deal
in repairing this old mansion and
putting improvements on the farm.
He took great pride in showing us
the many things that he is doing
TO improve the farm.
The dinner was an ideal country
dinner, and we regretted very much
that we could not stay for supper.
We returned TO our work and
worked very hard to complete ii
before dark. We completed it and
returned TO Richmond for supper.
We got home at nine o'clock, very
tired but very thankful to have had
such an interesting trip.
