Facts and Things

Our treasured landmarks dis
appear in a surprising way; the
thing that was truth last year
is but a fake today. When was
young the village doc said all
ments like the flu. which give
the system such a shock, to
causes plain were due. We sat
in draughts. or wet our feet, and
went to beds OF pain. and called
upon the name of Pete and that
OF Mike in vain. But now the
doc, in sounding terms. another
platform springs. and all our ills
are due to germs, the doggOne
measly things. In fifteen years.
or maybe less. that graft will
look forlorn. and doctors then
| make the guess-will laugh our
germs to scorn. The rules OF
health OF yesteryear look now
like silly fads. and scientists sit
up to jeer the wisdom of our
dads. The doctor of the olden
time had whiskers long and
black; he couldn't hope to earn
a dime unless he had a stack.
But now the doctor with beard
in deep privation squirms the
man with lambrequins is feared,
for they are full of germs. 1t is
a world of piff1e, friends. yet let's
retain our grins; for when one
streak of wisdom ends another
one begins. WALT MASON.

OUR SCHOOL.

We have followed with much
interest the discussion on this
subject as it has appeared in the
columns of "Danskeren.o
From articles relating either
directly or indirectly to this mat
ter, there appears to be an und-
erstanding of the grave situa-
ton our church is facing. These
articles have also indicated that
there are especially two things
which at present demand u at
tention, namely, the transition
we are confronting with respect
to the language question, and
then how we are going to con-
tend with the school problem.
The latter is more important,
because the solution of the form
er Is largely dependent upon IL,
and because our school is the
heart of our synod, and the life
of our church depends upon its
pulsations.
1t is apparent that many OF
our people do not know how
badly we need a new school.
This is because many do not
know the facts relating to the
matter, or else they are blind to
the condition confronting us.
Then again we meet the enron
eous idea that our school should
exist only for the education OF

our ministers, and that II as Such
has quite a liberal course to Of
fer.
The Importance of an eduea-
ton is becoming better recognlz-
ed every day. Our youth are
flocking to colleges and uniyer-
sites. That our students, wheth-
err studying for the ministry or
otherwise, are demanding a full
college course is evidenced from
the numerous instances where
they are leaving our school, be-
cause they are not able to pur-
sue such a course there. We must
meet this demand. We should be
able to offer a full college course
not only TO those studying for
the ministry, but also to those
who are intending to work along
other lines. But it must be kept
in mind, that a UNCONVENTIONAL
college is not less a college be-
cause it is UNCONVENTIONAL. The
requirements for scholarship in
a member Of the faculty, the
equipment for library and labora-
tory, and the need for good build
ingS, are the same for the denom-
national college as for any col
lege. The Distinguishing features
of the denomination college IS
that it includes Christianity in
its working program, not 50 much
in the studies pursued as in its
spirit and atmosphere. We have
heard the idea expressed that
if one only desires a general col
lege course it cannot make a
great deal Of difference where
you 90, since there cannot be
such "A thing as, for example,
Lutheran biology. May be not,
but r there any parents who
would want their children to at
tend a college where their Chris
tian faith would be undermined
by the professor who teaches BIZ
ology.
The thing for our church to
realize-and for every church
denominations that they are
by all conscience and honor
bound TO look after the spiritual
interests Of their young people
in their educational striving
and they are forced to do 50 or
lose the most vigorous and enter
prising Of their youth. Are you
aware of the fact that the col
lege your boy is attending is
largely determining his ideals
and moral conyictionsY 1t is de-
termining in a large measure
whether Christianity is to affect
profoundly and guide him in the
future. This is because the col
lege student is still in the forma-
tive period Of life. His mind is
most open to new impressions.
You say your boy is going to
attend a large institution in ord
er that he may become a more
s successful teacher or bust
nes man. But should we not
lend our ears to Him who asks
what if you gain it all-all-
!, and lose your soulY What
is the profit
We do not like to find fault
with our state universities in re-
gard to this matter, as it has
long been our traditional policy
that church and state should be
separate, because we believe that
every citizen should be free to
worship God in his own way.
Nevertheless, it is apparent that
the spiritual life Of the students
suffers during their stay at these
institutions. w. J. Bryan, in a
