\ PRACTICAL MAN NEEDED.

The regents of the New Mexico
university will meet next Monday to
elect Il president. The Journal doesn't
know who will be chosen, but the
choice should be a man of broad edu-
cational ideas and Of recognized ex-
ecutye ability. lie need not be a
great scholar. Few great scholars are
good executives. Nature places limits
upon what is possible for one man to
achieve,
Whether the man selected shall be
from among the residents of New
Mexico or from the outside is, in itself,
wholly immaterial. The one problem
to be solved should be how to get the
best man possible for the work to be
done, What man will be able to get
students and hold them? He can
only hold them by providing the kind
of educational courses that will ap-
peal TO the young men and young
women of New Mexico.
But even here he will be limited
by the amount of expense that the
state can. or will, afford to incur
There must be. first of all, i good
educational foundation laid. Some
,h,re are who still hold that such
foundation is only possible through
courses of study in which the Greek
and Latin languages play an import
ant part. Dean West of Princeton
university, in a recent address, urged
the study of the classics as one means
of maintaining the gold standard Of
education" lie is right.
But a far better knowledge of the
classics, as We generally understand
the term, may be had by studying
having the average student put in the
bulk of this time trying to master
dead languages certain to be dead TO
him within few years after he quits
school, unless h makes teaching them
his vocation. The Latin ana the Greek
authors are alive, vivid. educational,
cultural when read for the literature
and not for the mechanics Of the IAN
guage in which they were originally
written.
Yale and Princeton no longer re-
quire these languages for entrance,
and since the war they have even
been dropped from the colleges of
oxford university.
II. G. Wells. in his recent pam
phlet on 1.-THE Elements of Recon-
struction," says his idea of education
today should embrace
PHILOSOPHY; the history of the
world from its problematical begin
ninps to the present; the story that
physical science has to teach--eth-
rology and archaeology anatomy, en-
bryology. biology; these. together with
the social sciences that necessarily
spring out of historical and biological
teaching. constitute and alone can
constitute the liberal education which
must be the substance o. a nation $
culture"
But along with these things. essen
tial to an educational backbone, the
modern boy and girl insist upon learn
ing something in college that will as
sist in earning bread and butter
Bread and butter must be taken into
consideration, If any school of higher
learning is to succeed in state like
New Mexico.

Base Ball at the Fair.

There has been considerable agi-
tation for some good base ball for
the fair this year. In the early part
OF the season, when preparing the
program it was not thought possible
that many good teams would organ
lie this year. But so many Of the
boys arrived home from the war, and
a good many of them were ball play
ers,. they quickly got together and
organized teams, and some good ones
have been organized around here.
We believe that several good games
could be arranged for fair week that
would please goodly proportion Of
the crowds, practically every day.
DEBORAH has one of the best teams in
years, and there are several other
good ones that will make up a fine
exhibition. BY all means let's have
some base ball. -.

LOGSDON BUYS TWO FARMS.
Well Known Cattle Breeder Buys
Frank Jewell and John Stortz
Farms.

| Last Saturday the Frank Jewell
farm that was sold to w. r. Perty,
Of Oelwein for some 100000, a
couple of weeks ago, was sold to
John Logsdon, of Allamakee county.
He paid $4,000 for it, which made
a profit to Perry of $4,000. The
farm went at $215 an acre. We I'M
derstand Mr.. Logsdon turned in a
quarter section in the Dakotas on
the deal so he figured the Jewell
farm cost him about $500 an acre.
This quarter section was secured by
Mr.. Logsdon about a year ago for
two blooded cows, valued at $3.50
per head. The Jewell farm has 800
acres. @.,
The other farm Mr.. Logsdon
bought on Monday was the John
Stortz farm, formerly the Jimmy
Headington place four miles north
of DEBORAH on the Burr Oak road.
1t consists of 319 acres and brought
$3.50 an acre. Chas. Gottelman is
farming the place now.
We understand the Jewell farm
was put back on the market again.
If it is not sold again soon there is
a possibility that Mr.. Logsdon will
bring up some of his blooded milk
ing Shorthorns to the farm. He has
200 head of these cattle, besides Po-
land China hogs, Shropshire sheep,
registered Percheron horses, and last
but not least white collie dogs. He
has one of the finest modern farms
in the state. He and his brother
Leonard have been operating 666
acres in, Allamakee. They sold the
farm last week at Sis, 900, but
since then Mr.. Logsdon took back
400 acres, where his big stock farm
is located.
Logsdon is one of the big farmers
of the state, and his yearly transact
ions mount into the thousands. "

We believe that they would find easy
pickings, but they changed their
mind, we guess, after an inning, or
two. Jack Hruska, the we'll known
ex-leaguer was behind the bat for
Lawler and Martin was in the box.
They say he is some pitcher too,
when he is right. But Sunday must
have been his off day, as DEBORAH

poked the ball whenever they pleas
ed, with three baggers and home
runs thrown in for good measure
1t was 'Decorah's game from the
start and the score IL to 4 until the
first half Of the ninth, when Ander-
son, Decorah's slab artist, weakened
and Lawler slipped four more runs
across. Anderson has been pitching
all the games so far this season, and
has delivered the goods. The team
needs another pitcher or two, to re-
lieve each other, and with this. de-
tense bolstered up, it will take a
