when there are no shade trees, when
streets are dusty or muddy and un-
paved, where there Is an unfinished ap-
pearance about everything. II is not
so many years since a large number
OF the towns and villages OF Indiana
had an unkempt, untrimmed look. Seen
from trains In passing. they looked un-
inviting As matter Of fact. the res
idents had other things TO think OF
than beauty. They were building their
homes. making their living by arduous
labor, sending their children to school
and sacrificing many desirable things
for the sake OF the necessities. This
Is the history OF all towns.
The conditions are different now. In

homes, handsome lawns, paved and
shaded streets. substantial business
houses. attractive public buildings, In
cluding libraries, and a general air OF
prosperity distinguish them. The same
people live there who we're there at

beauty and luxury could be added TO

THE NEW COMMISSIONER OF
INDIAN AFFAIRS

The appointment of Honorable
Charles II. Burke, of South Dakota,
as Commissioner of Indian Affairs, is
one which will be source of graft
fication to all friends of the indian
dian.
Mr.. Burke is native of New York
State, but removed to South Dakota
while a very young man. He comes
into offi:e with a frst-hand knowl-
edge of the people with whom he has
to deal, gained partly from living in
close proximity to the Sioux reserva-
tions. and in the city which has one
Of the large non-reservation schools,
and also from having served seven
terms in Congress, most Of the time
as a member the House Committee
on Indian Affairs. and part of the
time as its Chairman. During these
years he made himself known as a
friend Of the Indians in the Legislative
questions that arose. In 1921 he
made vigorous fight to protect the
Oklahoma Indians from wholesale
graft in connection with probate and
other matters, and in other instances
he has made a firm stand on the side
Of justice.

Lieutenant-G Governor Thruston Bal
lard and President Emeritus VIM.
Goodell Frost gave the principal ad-
dresses on Saturday at the laying
of the cornerstone of the Sunshine
Ballard Cabin" the gift Of Lieuten-
ant-Governor and Mrs. Ballard. The
new building is being erected as an
annex to the Log House to increase
the facilities for teaching weaving
and other fireside industries. The
Lieutenant Governor spoke in part
as follows:
when my wife and I visited
Egypt a few years ago, we saw great
ruins covering hundreds of acres, and
I began to wonder why Egypt, hav-
ing once had so much, had gone
down leaving nothing but ruins. AS
we continued our journey, the
ruins of the ancient Babylon and the
broken columns which betrayed the
former grandeur of Greece and Rome
caught our attention. | will tell you
my opinion why these old cities and
civilizations had their rise and fall.
II you will study their history, you
will find that they began as a work
ing people and worked their way un-
til they became great; then they
brought in slaves from the surround
ing nations and ceased to work, hir-
ing other men TO be their farmers
and their soldiers. Consequently.
when the barbarians came down upon
them, they had no one to defend them
or to till their farms.
I think the fundamental principle
in life is work. II you want health
in the body or the mind or the spirit,
you must work. II We do not work,
our people will degenerate. think
that it is a most impressive fact
that every boy and girl in this col
lege must work. As long as this Is
the keynote of this Institution, IL
must be successful. When we saw
that this was Berea's program, we
wanted to help in this great work.
We have struggled, in our early life,
and since God has given it into our
power TO be able to help others, I
can heartily say that this is the
proudest moment Of my life when l
feel that I can do something to help

A noted French scientist, Madam
Curie, is now visiting in the United
States. Her chief distinction was
the discovery Of radium some years
ago. Since she has been in this
country she has received sixty de-
grees of various kinds from colleges,
universities, medical associations, and
scientific bodies. AS a scientist, she
is Industrious and painstaking. The
discovery of radium has had impor-
tant consequences. II is used in the
treatment Of cancer. This substance
is found in very small quantities, as
yet, and the state of New York last
year paid quarter of million dollars
for a grain Of it.

Laying of Cornerstone of Sunshine Ballard Cabin

these boys and girls in Berea in their
struggles for success.
An address on the Significance of
Fireside Industries s'swas made by
President-Emeritus Frost, who was
introduced by his successor, Presi-
dent Hutchins, as "The Dreamer who
had seen his dreams come true"
DIR. Frost spoke as follows:
THE building in which we rejoice
today has three values-poetical, ed
ucational, moral.
Next to religion the greatest
source of poetry is the love Of wo-
man, and until less than a hundred
years ago every woman was largely
occupied and educated by spinning and
weaving. We see all the heroines of
our imagination from the Colonial
danes back to the wife of Hector
bearing the distaff as scepter and
engaged at the loom. In modern
times the distaff has been superseded
by the spinning wheel, but it has not
ben forgotten.
Looking back to the first heroine
of all our literature, we see Penelope,
the wife Of Ulysses, sustaining her
heart by occupation in weaving while
her hero is gone to the wars. Who
that has read the parting of Hector
and Andromache, or that cherishes a
miniature of the grandmother whose
body was hurled fifty years ago,
would consent to have the processes
of the fireside industries disappear :?
So much for poetic value.
"And the cultural value of these
processes which have done so much
to mould and develop the womanhood
which we love has the endorsement
of the best educational theory.
Education is the drawing out Of
the powers and the will and the soul
of the pupil. It is effected in many
ways The catechism, the lecture,
the laboratory, the question and
answers of the class room are all
good. But there Is distinct and
necessary form of education which
consists in causing a pupil to under
take a project, and to create some-
thing which shall show in permanent
form his painstaking and his skill.

A disturbed condition of affairs ap-
parently exists in Portugal. Either
a revolution is already under way or
is likely to break out. There is a
good deal of Democratic spirit in
that little country, whose government
has been far from ideal for many

on the parent state from Brazil, nef
