Success of Victory Loan Assured

E ACH of the four Liberty Loans lG was oversubscribed, and the success of the Victory Loan is well assured. Secretary of the Treasury Carter Glass announces that no over subscriptions of the forthcoming Loan of four and a half billion dollars will be accepted, but the full amount named is needed and must be raised.
 A cheering indication is the eager ness of people in many parts of the country to anticipate their subscrip- tions. In several towns or sub divisions of units in Alabama entire allotments have been spoken for.
 Jefferson county's quota of not quite seven million dollars should be sub- scribed by the middle of the week. The organization is perfect. The pa triotic spirit is aroused, and Birming- ham is flush with money. Under these conditions the goal should be easy to reach.

CLASSICAL EDUCATION

the bitterness in the cry "si 1eunesse saLvait"'
 But there is more readily tangible side to the immediate problem, well presented by Dean Cooley in his dis quisition printed in the Evening sun Aside from the greater loss is the iVlsi- ble, present-day weakness. Dean Cooley is himself an engineer and scientist, graduate of Annapolis, a veteran or the Spanish war, a man of affairs, ana now head of the Colleges of Engineer ing and Architecture at the University of Michigan. Hence his defense of the classics in education is not open to the charge of partiality to his own faculty.
 Speaking of the practical weakness of narrow technical training, Dean Cooley records:
 "One large employer Of engineers complained that college engineers now adays were unsatisfactory. that while they knew special engineering things extremely well. they did not know any thing else; that what employers needed were young men of parts, those who could take part in activities not of a strictly technical character; that more than all else the world today needed engineers of imagination and vision to see beyond the walls built up around them in college"
 The larger prizes of contentment and i real achievement will always go to the men and women of the larger vision. whatever the fad of the moment may be

It is one of the most joyous days of the whole year, rivalling Christmas in this respect, but it is one of solemn rejoicing, but coming after the self-denials of Lent and at the beginning of spring it seems naturally a time of hope.
 An erroneous transaction of the Latin word pascha from the wrong Greek word, caused Irenaeus, Tertullian, and some or the other fathers of the church, who were ignorant of Hebrew. to connect it witt the sufferings of the Lord; but St. Au- gustine, noticing the false etymology' showed that it was caused by a similarity of sound, and gave the correct derivation.
 
 The name is still kept in France, where they call Easter ''Paques; in ltaIy "Pasqua," and in Spain, "Pascua. The Hebrew name for the Passover was "Pesach''-"he passed oyer, in memory of the great deliverance, when the de- stroying angel passed over the houses or the children of Israel in Egypt when ne smote the Egyptians" The Passover was a joyous festival for the Jews, just as IS Easter a joyous celebration amongst the Christians.
 Without at all striving to introduce con- troyersial theology into the observance oi it. but merely to connect the Passover and Easter. I call attention to the act that in the old Hebrew days the Passover, or Pascbal Lamb. as it was called, was sac rificed to save the people rom ue"'i And so the old Passover merely pecolneH under the new dispensation Easter, sym oolizing Christ as the Lamp or uou, "no E tr-n,,rh IIis sacrifice made it possible for ou otpers to escape from sin and death.
