BEREAS CARE ron STUDENTS
IN ILLNESS

Berea College does far more than
any other institution with which we
are acquainted, in insurins care for
It's students while in Berea. The
Trustees felt that the students come
n us from great distances, and that
many Of their homes were In such
remote places that they could only
receive their mail once or twice q
week; and they have wished that
the parents should feel certain that
The son or daughter at Berea would
have good care.
Accordingly the College has in
vested nearly $4,000 in q flrst-cIass
hospital, and $4,000 more in a spe-
cial building for contagious cases,
like measles. II employs three ply
sicians and two trained nurses. and
small army OF girls In training
for nursing, so that It's students are
far safer than they would be at
home. Tho hospital and College ply
sicians care for all boarding stu
dents when sick, without charge,
except for chronic diseases and sur
gerry and dentistry. In contagious
cases students pay q fee OF 800 to
cover the cost OF fumigating the
room and bedding. The student pa
ticnts pay for medicine and band
ages at cost prices. The students
lodging in the Hospital pay board
for the time they are there at the
same rates as at the boarding halls.
Students who live at their homes
in Berea have medical examination
at the beginning Of each term, like
the boarding students. They do not
have attendance OF the College ply
sicians at their homes. They may,
however, come 10 the hospital for
dollar a day for board and room.
and a dollar a day for medical at
tendance, and have surgery at stu
dents rates.

MADISON COUNTY CENSUS

The men and women appointed TO
serve as enumcrators OF the Four
teenth Dccennial Census are charged
by law with the collection Of all
facts necessary 10 I'LL out properly
the printed census schedules which
each enumeration will carry when
making the house-to-house canvass
Of the territory assigned TO him.
Each enumerator must isitperson-
ally each house in his district and
make his inquiries OF the head or
some other member OF the family
who is competent TO answer the
census question.
The Act OF Congress providing for
the Census gives each enumerator
the right 20 enter every dwelling in
his district for the purpose Of OBJ
tanning the INFORMATION required.
Enumerators will carry with them
at all times their Identification cards
and also their written commissions
from the Government which they
will show whenever required to
do so. They are Instructed 10 be
always courteous and considerable,
but in those rare instances where
information necessary 10 MI out the
questions is denied them, they are
empowered by the law 10 insist on
correct answers. There are legal
penalties for refusing 10 answer the
census questions or wilfully Civ
ing answers that are false.
Each enumerator is prohibited
by law from publishing or commu-
nicating any information obtained
through the census regarding any
individual or his affairs. This OBJ
legation TO secrecy likewise applies
10 all persons connected with the
Census. After the schedules are
all filled out they are sealed up and

Mrs. Jennie Dole Speer, former
Lady Principal Of Berea College, and
mother Of Miss Editha L. Speer, for
years teacher OF Domestic Science
here, departed this life, on Sunday
last, al Asheville, North Carolina.
The remains were brought 10 Berea
for interment. The funeral services
were held at the home Of DR.. w. q.
Best on EstilI street, at 1000 o. m.
OF Tuesday, December 30th. The
exercises were conducted by Prof.
Lcvant Dodge. Appropriate hymns
were rendered by a quartet consist
ing Of Treasurer and Mrs. Osborne.
Mrs. b. w. Hart, and Mr.. George
q. Dick.
Professor Dodge spoke feelingly
Of the character OF the deceased,
referring 10 his own association
with her after she came here, thirty
years ago, TO be what is now called
Dean OF Women. At that time he
himself was Chairman Of the Fac
ulty. Her vivacity and kindly
spirit were emphasized. The tri-
umphant completion Of such life
and the entrance upon its reward
was called q reason for rejoicing
more than for grief. The relatives
from abroad were Mrs. Speer's sis
ter, Miss Dole, Of Asheville, and the
two daughters, Mrs. Lathrop, OF
Dallas. Texas, and Miss Editha
Speer.
Mrs. Speer was born at st. Louis,
Missouri, November 8, 1871, and so
had completed her 18th year. Her
father was Methodist minister.
This led 10 several removals, &C
cording 10 the custom in that de-
nomination. Upon the division in
the church on account Of slavery.
he took the antislavery side and re-
moved TO Indiana. Under such in
fluences the daughter entered into
the family spirit, and Providence
led TO her giving most Of her ma
ture life in labors for a people so
long oppressed. Her married life
lasted only about five years. Being
graduate Of Brookville College,
Indiana, in her widowhood she
worked in that institution, and in
the High School there after the. col
lege sold its property, until her
coming TO Berea. After her term OF
service here, she was in the employ
OF the Woman's Home Missionary
Society OF the NJ. f. Church. In
that capacity she taught at York,
Nebraska, Holly Springs, Mississippi,
and Atlanta, Georgia. But her
browning work was with the Wo-
mans Industrial Home School for
colored. at Ashville, where her sis
ter Miss Dole, has been the Super
intendent ever since its establish
ment, over thirty years ago. For
the past four or five years failing
health has kept her from active
service. But she remained there,
with her sister and daughter, and
her presence has been a constant
benediction. She could feel as
sured of the constant love of the
teachers and pupils in that insti-
tuition. This was evidenced by the
wealth OF beautiful flowers which
they sent here for the funeral.
Mrs. Speer's ancestry was distin-
guished. She was a direct descend
ant OF the famous William Pitt Of
England, her great grandmother be-
ing Mary Pitt.

Bcrea's second popularity is that
IL has adopted education as its chief
form of service. This is an aim so
widely undertaken and professed
that it may seem TO require no
mention; but IL we take ourselves
seriously, we shall need to define
education. Thousands Of institu-
tions named educational are simply
going through the motion without
realizing the definition or sgnifl-
canoe OF the word.
To know what we should attempt
as an.educational institution is not
simple or easy. Thus I find in the
last edition Of the Encyclopedia
Britannica under the article "Edu-
cation"
There is not yet general agree
ment as 10 what schools and uni
versities should attempt, or even as
TO the end that should he studied
in education as a whole; nor can
agreement on such points be ex-
pecled while men differ widely as
10 the meaning and purpose of life.
The work of the organization OF the
material means OF education has
largely been accomplished by the
civilized world: that of determining
the true theory Of practice OF the
educational process itself is still in
complete. The problem will never
be absolutely solved, for that would
imply an absolutely best education
irrespective Of conditions. hut its
practical solution may be reached
when true adjustment is made be-
tween the process OF education and
the life for which that education
is intended TO be a preparation"
This we may perhaps take as an
authoritative definition OF success in
education: "A true adjustment be-
tween the process of education and

A sixth popularity has been Be-
rea's selection Of a peculiar field.
Berea is for the Southern Noun
tains. Berea has been conceived as
an educational institution which
should perform a peculiar task of
educational leadership and Develop
ment in region apart and among
a people somewhat different from
the mass Of their fellow Americans.
We need not recount the history Of
our movement or tell again the
story OF those events which divided
our work, cut of our labors for the
colored people by transfer TO an in
dependent institution and so simp-
lifted our own aims. Berea exists,
according TO the first words Of its
charter, ain order 10 promote tho
cause Of Christ" but this general
promotion Of the cause Of Christ Is
made specific by the words that fol-
low: "Primarily by contributing to
the spiritual and material welfare
Of the Mountain region Of the South,
affording TO young people Of char
acter and promise thorough Chris
tian education, elementary, indus
trial, secondary, normal and collegi-
ate, with opportunities for manual
labor as an assistance in self-sup-
port.

ing for the beginner, and produce
actual results, and thus tended TO
improve the teaching process.

Plrase note tnat TINS view OF ed
ucation compels us TO look far be-
yond the classroom and graduation
platform. The true teacher has in
mind all the coming life expert
ences and activity Of his pupil.
Berea's third popularity is that
II aspires 20 give not secular but
Christian education.
Now II, as we have seen, the mean
ing Of education needs 10 be dis
cussed and defined, the same is
true Of Christianity. How often
and how easily Christianity IL
identified with certain conventional
forms Of creed or ritual or outward
observance, and supposed TO be
adopted and followed when there IL
no adoption OF any distinguishing
or fundamental aim.
Christianity TO Berea's founders
and chief supporters has meant the
spirit Of Jesus Christ, which is love
and trust toward the Heavenly
Father, and toward mankind and
the world unselfishness, altruism,
service.
Secular education says, Come 10
the university and you may climb
into higher social circle, and pre-
pare yourself TO get higher salary"
Christian education says, Come to
school and you may learn the Won
der OF Gods universe, and the high
joys Of the spirit, and follow Christ
in bearing the crosses that redeem
the world" To give this viewpoint,
to emplant this motive and desire,
is the great task 10 which Berea has
been dedicated by the efforts of Fee,
Rogers, and Fairclrild, and the gifts
of Garrett Smith, Doctor Pearson
and Charles NJ. Hall. IL is certainly
fitting that every successor should
share the highest vision which, any
founder has enjoyed, and that we
Should rest satisfied in no interme-
date aims. II is not success 10 have
gathered host of students, though
that is a glorious step. 10 is not
success TO have won the attention
and interest Of pupils, although that
is progress on the right road. IL
is not success TO have graduated
large classes, although we are GER
tainly tempted to feel that something
is accomplished when we give out
diplomas TO long rows of strong
young men. II is not success
when our students attain riches
and distinction and honor. IL
is only success when our stu
dents turn from large pay in the
Bluegrass TO smaller fmcluments in
he Mountains, when they stand up
unflinchingly against wrong and
evil. il is only when they enter the
realm Of the ideal, when they see
visions and dream Dreams" and push
along the growth of Gods Kingdom
with sacriflcial enthusiasm.

The nth characteristic of our in
stitution has been the eagerness Of
its promoters 10 advance what may
be called Applied Christianity. We
have not been uninterested in the
theories OF religion or scholarly re-
search in the history Of Christian
lily, but we have been anxious 10
apply the ten commandments and
the golden rule in emancipating
slavery, prohibiting liquor, discour-
aging secret societies and caste
and self-indulgence, and reforming
the world according 10 the expand.

organization that serves these aims,
that a succession OF devoted workers
have given their hearts and lives.
And it is 10 these aims that every
dollar of our endowments and
every brick Of our buildings has
been given. And il is 10 these pur-
poses that we must adapt all our
forces. plans and regulations. When
this view is taken, and when these
aims are understood and embraced,
a great many subordinate questions
will suggest their own settlement.

Let US now take time together TO
consider first some Of the liabilf-

aims, and then some opportunities
for realizing them more triumph

One liability toward the perver-
sion Of these aims is the tendency
toward increase in expenses and
changes Of the standard Of living,
which will gradually but surely ex-
clude those who are belated and
disadvantaged. II is very difficult
TO maintain standards Of living in
our homes that will not separate US
in our own feelings, and still more
in the feelings Of our pupils, from
real sympathy with the mountain
community and the mountain home.

resources seems to have o demori-
lizing effect. In proportion as in
situations grow wealthy they grow

Closely connected with this Chris
tian aim is our fourth peculiarity-
purpose TO provide an educational
opportunity and impulse for the
disadvantaged and the poor.
As we educators look into the
world of action and forecast the
future careers of our students, we
must be socioligists and analyze the
society in which they are TO per-
form their part. There are many
types and strata Of society.
We recognize at once the urban or
city type of society and the rural
or country type. In each of these
types there are the varied layers
or strata-an upper crust, as it has
been frequently called, the middle
layer, and lower crust resting on
the pan bottom Of proverty, ineffl-
cheney and distress.
Now in America there has been a
surprising increase Of the upper
crust of society. II the upper crust
comprises two percent Of the popu-
lation, that would mean when the
country had ten millions of inhabit-
ants, 100000 people, and when the
population had increased TO one
hundred millions, il would mean
two million Of the upper crust. OF
course many families in the upper
crust are continually falling into
decay and dropping out while others
come forward TO take their places.
A great function of educational in
situations has been 10 assist people
from the lower strata to climb into
this upper crust. This is the prac-
teal program and exhortation of a
large amount of educational prop
ofanda. "You son of the black
smith or farmer. go TO college
and you may become a lawyer or
llnancier."
A more patriotic, a more sociologic,
more Christian view, is TO provide
education whereby those who can
not be in the upper crust shall still
lead lives of honor, usefulness, and
satisfaction. In fact, Christ seems
to have proclaimed scorn of the up
per crust. "A mans life CONSISTENT
which he possesseth." Here comes in
the great ideal Of most educational
reforms beginning with John Fred
erie 0berlin and coming down
to our own Horace Mann. There
shall be education for the far
mer and the blacksmith and
their households. Their Preside
shall have its newspaper and its

 Cotter is better known in the news paper world as Pat O'Cotter, which is the name he has used for the last twenty years in his writing. For Frank J. Cotter has alread made name for himself in newspaper and in magazine circles. His journalistic career has been romantic and varied. He broke into the newspaper game with the well-known Dave King on the Morning Olympian at Olympia Wash. Later he worked on the Ia coma Ledger. Then the wanderlust gripped him and took him to China, where he wrote for some time on the China Mail at Shanghai, and later at Hong Kong When he came back to America he got the gold fever and joined in the rush to Alaska where he made and lost several good stacks in the placer mining game before he returned to his first love, the news paper game, and hung his hat up in the office of the Fairbanks News, in Fairbanks, Alaska. He worked in | Alaska as a newspaper man for al most a dozen years During his stay in Alaska he wrote many stories and poems. The most noted of these are 'Tales of the Tanana," a book of short stories, and the Rhymes of a Roughneck," volume of Alaskan verse.
 He left Alaska early this year with the idea of beating it to the South Seas and finally to South Africa. It was on this trip aboard the s. s. | Sonoma that MT. James Bryson, who was on his way to Australia to pro- ! ject series of agencies for Univer- sal, convinced MT. Cotter that he | should join forces with the outfit, and so it was that MT.
