a sense of duty. may well close by re-
counting an actual incident told me by
the commander OF one OF the destroyers
most actively engaged in the torpepdo
zone. In giving Instructions before they
reached the danger zone as to what each
man was to do in case of emergency he
overlooked a negro helper. This youth
promptly accosted him and said: i
guess, Commander. you have forgotten
me- The commander, meaning to be
facetious, thersupon told him to take the
safe as his responsibility, and in case Of
a torpedo striking the ship to be sure
that the safe was on deck. A very short
while after the emergency came. The
torpedo glanced Off the bow of the de-
stroyer and did no damage. but every
man followed instructions to the letter.
including the negro. When the excite
was was over, sure enough. there was
the safe on deck. It took three men to
get it down again to its proper place"
In the discussion which followed DR..
Keppel was first asked what he would
suggest teachers doing to maintain the
attitude held during the war.
"I have wondered" replied DIR. Keppel.
whether in college administration we
have instructed students to take an
interest in nationwide or worldwide ac-
tivities such as do not take on partisan
aspect. The preparatory schools do bet
ter than the college through their
courses in current events. We have not
given the youngsters credit for capacity
to take an interest in world questions.
1 was struck while in Europe with the
fact that in thinking matters the young
sters are the leaders. This is particu-
larly apparent, because of the tremen-
ious waves of refugees. That. by the
way, causes one of the present phenom-
ena, that the size OF cities Is double
and treble what 1t was before the
war. The Intellectual life is carried on
en- the sidewalks. in cafes. and there
you will fin1 mere youngsters settling
the affairs of nations.
'T would suggest that II Is of vital

movements and should be encouraged to
acquaint themselves with world affairs"
Another speaker suggested that q
strong means of keeping up the morale
Of the nation would be to encourage the
children. and through them their fami-
lies. in the great idea of thrift.
Still third suggested that every ef-
fort should be made to encourage our
American youths to express themselves
clearly. He feels In his college classes,
he said, the lack of the power Of ex-
pressing things clearly. 1t would be a
big advantage IL the boys could become
better messengers to the outside world
of what they have learned in school.
Discussion then turned upon the make
up OF the typical American school in the
large cities, and II was recognized that
some 56 per cent of the children are OF
foreign birth This fact makes the in
culcation OF American ideals at the same
time the more pressing and the more diff
1cult. Perhaps the keenest comment
was from Prof. H. II. Powers, head OF
the bureau of university travel. who In
most engrossing way pied for better
teaching as means OF intoxicating
Ideals, the teaching Of concrete studies
such as geography and history, and In
general a sterner recognition of realities
The formal meeting closed promptly
at 8 40 and then the members broke UT
into little groups and had an old fash
ioned visit. Every one voted that II
had been the most successful occasion
of the kind in long time, and that II
augurs we'll for the splendid programme
for the balance OF the year.
At the November meeting Prof. John
Ersk!ne of Columbia, the head OF the
KHAKI. university overseas, will tell the
story OF this great adventure. The other

The other speakers of the morning
were Hollis X Thayer Of the senior class
and Donald Lawson of the fifth form.
Thayer recited Stephen Valentine Coles
poem on Roosevelt. and Lawson gave a
selection from Gen. Leonard A. Woods
address at the dedication Of Mount
Roosevelt Patriotic songs were sung by
the school. there was the usual flag
salute. and Bishop Remington OF South
Dakota, who took part in the memorial
exercises at Mount Roosevelt, read the
selection for the day from the Bible.
In DR.. Clarke's address he called at

Roosevelt especially appealed to boys
and young men everywhere. He spoke
particularly of Roosevelt's fearlessness.

and his inspiring Americanism. All this

should say that in the light of the war
this is one of the primary facts to be
remembered In connection with the edu-
cation Of youth, that we must not let the
boys forget their capacity for work.
II am reminded in this connection of
the remark of a friend of mine who was
In charge of the ground school of avia-
ton at Princeton. When I asked him
whether he had any trouble about disci-

was that he had to send a man around

that the boys We now are teaching are
brothers of these very same youths, and
just as willing to work II we can get 1t
into their heads that 1t Is worth while
to do 80.
Another great fact, educationally,
from the war is that the American peo-
pie have taught themselves the worth

This Is an impression which We must
build upon. Under no circumstances
must we allow It to be lost. either among

CORNELL UNIVERSITY.

On the first day that the campaign
opened for the Cornell Endowment Fund
alumni and friends Of the university in
nine cities in the northeastern part of
the United States had pledged about
half a million dollars. This represents
one-tenth OF the total fund Of 1000 900
which Is TO be raised in ten days Of
an intensive canvass. 1t Ia pointed out
by those engaged in raising the fund
that II each day averages a proportion
ate amount the goal will be reached.
Cornelrs position in the educational
field has made heavy requirements in
the number of students who have come
20 the institution. Without increased
funds 10 obtain and to retain members
of the teaching staff the trustees foresee
that the institution's opportunities for
service will be severely handicapped.
Cornell. it Is pointed out, has been
noted as a trainer OF teachers. For a
long time its trustees and faculty took
pride in this fact They realized the
service which was being rendered
throughout the country by Cornell men
In the presidential chairs and on the
faculties OF many leading institutions.
But latterly they saw the stars of the
various faculties going elsewhere, largely
because of the higher salaries offered.
Stanford University is a case in point.
The first two presidents OF Stanford were
Comedians, and at least three-fourths
of the faculty was originally drawn
from the Ithaca institution. Nowadays.
however, the trustees OF Cornell are
realizing that the gains by other col
ieges are distinct losses to Cornell. They
say that It is gratifying to know that
Cornell has furnished these teachers,
but tina, the time has come when the
institution must maintain its own forces
In order to attract the best students
and to continue to train local leaders.
The only way TO retain members OF
the faculty against the insistent de-
mands OF other institutions and OF com
mercial enterprises is to make II possible
