IN r ora Wnlcn HaQ come up aDOuC
the same time as we did from Tripoli,
in charge of the Missionary there.
Believe me, that drive down the noun
tain was a thrilling one, and one
which neither the injured man nor
myself will ever forget. The road
was in many places very rough and
stony; the perfectly good missionary
my rather rash chauffeur insisted on
driving down, though he naively in
formed me before starting that he
was particularly anxious to drive, as
he had never driven down a mountain
before. In places the road was so
steep and the hairpin curves so
sharp that it was difficult for an ex-
perienced chauffeur to negotiate
them; a novice was taking all sorts
of chances. But we finally got down
safely and delivered our passenger at
his home that night.
The country just now is most beau
tiful; the foliage is cut in all it's
glory; the mountain slopes are green
with the growing crops where there is
soil enough for them to grow; and the
glorious pomegranate and wisteria
blossome of scarlet and purple min
gled with the white and pink of the
apricot, orange, and peach certainly
make wonderfully beautiful picture.
This is the season too of the silk
worm-one of the principle industries
of this part of the Lebanon; the null
berry trees have just been stripped of
their leavs, the principle food of the
silk worm, and they are now spinning
their cocoons. We have few-about
25-of the worms in our front parlor
on table at the present time. They
wre brought to us by one of the native
workers, and they have been under
constant observation since their ar
rival about week ago. The worms
are a dirty white color, and about
three inches long. Yhey stay on the
table where they are put (thank good
ness) and have now about all made
their cocoons. It is mighty interest
ing to watch them at work. Almost
every family has lot of them
many thousands-right in the house,
everywhere about the house. Branch
es of mulberry trees are brought in
and the worms swarm on them, feed
ing on the leaves. When the cocoons
are all made, friends and neighbors
gather at the different houses and
make business of separating the
cocoons from the dry branches. U.s.
ually there are refreshments, mostly
liquid, and general good time, as
they estimate good time.
The men Of our teaching staff are
just now preparing the boys for a
field day. It is modelled somewhat
after the plan Of our American field
days. All sorts of contests are be-
ing arranged, including most of the
events usual at such times, such as
running, jumping, relay Cacek OBJ
stacle race, sack race, etc. The boys
are taking a keen interest in it and
some of them are quite proficient.
Prizes are to be given, and the chief
of the relief association, Major Nicol,
is to be here to present them. / usual
ly go down each evening to watch
them practise and encourage them
with suggestions. Well, I have RAM
bled on long enough. Remember me
to all my friends: Will write again.

C0FFMAN SPEAKS
T0SENl0R CLASS

One of the best commencement ad
dresses heard at the State Normal
school in long time was that deliv-
erd by DR.. Lotus D. C. Coffman
Thursday forenoon during the Com
mencement Day exercises. DR.. Coff-
man is president-elect of the Univer-
sity of Minnesota.
He has no fears for the educational
future of normal schools and predicts
that within very few years their ca
pacity will be taxed by young people
seeking admission to the teaching pro-
fession. All signs indicate move
ment toward a condition calling for
a greater average level of intelligence
of the American people and the criti-
cal necessity for it. We are passing
through renaissance of learning.
There are vast numbers of social
problems born of the unrest and up
heaval which are part of the reaction
following the great war that demand
not stupid guesswork but solutions by
intelligent leadership, these solutions
based on facts and accurate investiga-
tion. The first duty in making train
ed leadership is the duty of being in
telligent. Ingorance is a fertile soil
for dangerous doctrine. 1t is particu-
larly difficult to get the American
people to think collectively in advance
of a great crisis or of impending dis
aster.
In the past our democracy has made
progress by policy Of compromise or
by policy Of substitution often re-
sulting in blunders of serious import.
The American people have placed too
much reliance in and have over-valued
the ability of the average citizen. Ex-
pert leadership acquired by thorough
investigation of all the facts has too
often been maligned. A simple cure
for the ills of democracy is an expan-
sion of patriotism to include not only
the duty Of courage in response to a
great crisis, such as war, but the add
ed duty Of acquiring greater intelli-
gence by all the people.
A second duty is the acquisition, or
rather the training, in our education
of the "areas of appreciation Our
imagination needs greater scope. The
concept Of the individual attitude to-
ward self must be set over against the
social attitude or larger vision of
service, what service can be rendered
the state and society is and will be-
come dominating principle.
A third duty imperative and far
reaching is the recognition of our
moral responsibility. If democracy is
to be safe an enlarged view of moral
duty is essential. New varieties Of
sin now parade in the guise of respect
ability. Official and private attitude
toward true and honest service of
society is needed as never before.
The address was full of splendid il
Illustrations of the points made. The
duty and opportunity Of teachers and
schools in producing the conditions
which the speaker declared were ne
cessary in the immediate future was
emphasized in a striking way. The
address was especially good and
should have been heard by more of the
citizens of Valley City.
