BE frank to the world. Frankness is
the child of honesty and courage. Say
just what you mean to do on every
occasion and take it for granted that
you mean to do just what is right If
friend asks you favor, you should
grant it, if it is reasonable; if it is not,
tell him plainly why you can not. You
will wrong him and wrong yourself by
equiyocation of any kind. Never do
wrong to make a friend or keep one;
the man who requires you to do SO is
dearly purchased, and at sacrifice.
Deal kindly and firmly with all men
and you will find it the policy which
wears the best Above all, do not APP
pear to others what you are not If
you have any fault to find with any
one, tell him, not others, of what you
complain. There is no more danger
Gus experiment than that of undertake
ing to do one thing to mans face and
another to his back We should live,
act and speak out of doors, as the
phrase is, and say and do what we are
willing should be known and read of
all men,

N0RTHLAkD FACILITIES
TAXED BEYOND CAPACITY
College In North Doing Remarkable
Piece of Work With inadequate
Buildings and Equipment.
BY j. D. BROWNELL
President, Northland College.

Northland College, one 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 dlsllnc-
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 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 its facilities are en-
tirely inadequate to meet the demands
made upon it.
Ninety per cent of the students are
entirely self-supporting Three princi-
pal industries managed by the college
the manufacture of concrete block,
commercial printing, and the college
farm and 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 per
manent fund of $4,000 provided for
upkeep and the purchase of books.
The endowment of $105,000 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 $500 is
lower than the wage of ordinary la
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, lis the statement made by one
of the leading educators of the State.

THE ADVANTAGE OF COLLEGE.

The child without training has only
one chance in 10000 of performing
distinguished service; with element
airy education his chances axe multi
piled by four, and with high school
education training by 81. Finally, a
college educa on creates an opportun,
ity 800 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.

Some of MS, as we grow old, become
SO oppressed by the carea nd sorrows
of mature life that we quite forget the
days Of our youth. The pains and
pleasures of childhood seem to trivial
that we fail to realize that "a child's
sorrows are as keen and probably
kcener, than anything we know in
adult life. We forget the exquisite JOY
that a new toy gave MS, and the palpi-
Eating pleasures of visit to town, the
ecslatic delight of day in the woods.
And we forget too, the depth of ang-
uish that came with each disappont-
mcnt.

Madness Of the Moon.

So far as we can gather there is no
foundation for the old belief that the
moon affects the mind and brings about
madness in some people. The idea may
have originated from the word "lun-

moon.

JEWS TO OBSERVE
CHANUKAH FEAST
Rededicaation of Temple at
Jerusalem to Be Recalled
in Synagogues
TWILL BE EIGHT
DAY FESTIVAL

Chanukah the Feast OF Dedication
likewise known as the Feast Of Lights.
will be ushered In by the Jews tOmor-
row evening. The festival lasts for
eight days, and is one Of great Joy and
gladness.
This festival Is in cOmmemoration Of
the recovery OF Jerusalem by Judas
Maccabeus, after the Syrians. who had
decreed that all inhabitants should wor-
ship the Greek gods had held sway for
three years. The Jews then rededicated
the temple on the 25th day Of the Jew
ish month Of Kisley. in the year i6S b.
c., and II is in cOmmemOration OF this
event that the Feast Of Chanukah, or
Dedication, is celebrated today.
The festival lasts for eight days. In
accordance with an old legend which
states that a single cruise OF undeflled
oil found in the temple at the time OF
the rededlcatlon burned for eight days
through the miraculous Intervention Of
God For this reason the kindling OF
the lights in the home and in the
synagogue Is the most distinguishing
feature OF the festival. One candle Is lit
the first day. one the second day, and
so on until eight are kindled on the
last day OF the feast Special prayers
and scriptural readings are recited In
the synagogue, but the holiday is never
theless regarded as a minor one because
there is no injunction against labor on
that day.
In modern times the festival has as
sumed more and more the character OF
chlldren's celebration. a period OF
great JOY. marked by the playing OF
games and the recounting OF the great
deeds Of the Jewish heroes and martyrs
OF the past.
