Gov. Allen Demands Fair Deal for Farmer

The farmers of this county should not fail to
hear Gov. Henry j. Allen of Kansas who speaks
at the Richmond chautauqua on Aug. %, for
Gov. Allen has always been consistent advocate
of policies which were calculated to protect the
farmer against predatory assaults.
Gov. Allen is the author of the industrial
court law of Kansas, which was enacted when
the nation was confronted by great disaster,
resulting from the cessation of the production of
coal through the strike of the United Mine
Workers of America Gov. Allen believed that
no organized body of men, either capitalists or
laborers, should have it in their power to jeop-
ardize the very life of the nation by interfering
with the production of those commodities which
are vital to the comfort, health and general well
fare of the country. So far as Kansas is con-
Icerned, a solution of the difficulties between
labor and capital has been found in the indus
trial court law
Gov. Allen probably will deal with this and
allied subjects in his address here, and all citi
zens, both women and men, who desire to keep
themselves informed on the progress of events
should hear this interesting address.

moran training. Concerning the first l am
able to speak with accuracy and quote from
my annual report OF October of the present
year:
Returning graduates frequently remark
that the students do not appear to be as
robust or physically well developed dur
ing an earlier time. The frequency tables
of the height and weight of entering fresh
man classes from 1890 to the present time
give the following results The average
height of the entering classes from 1890 to
1895, inclusive, was and 65-100 feet; there
was a slight falling off during the five years
ending with 1900 but a steady gain since
that time. The five classes 1916 to 1920, in
elusive, average slightly over and 74-l0o
feet while the class of 1928 showed an aver
age height Of nearly and 77-100 feet. The
mean weight of the entering class for the six
years 1890 to 1896 was 13472 pounds With
an insignificant falling off during the next
five years. the average weight increased to
140.15 pounds for the classes 1915 to 1920,
inclusive, and to 141.12 pounds for the class
of 1928"
Whether this physical advance has been
secured at the sacrifice Of the intellectual is,
OF course, the main question. Williams still
adheres to the humanistic programme of
studies. The intellectual outlook is wider
than formerly. For many years Greek has
not been required, and it is possible for
matics and they are introduced to the prob
lens Of the day. This seems to the classical
student an intellectual loss hardly balanced
by the gain in interest With this view !

when, as in many places. the doors are

must exercise Judgment with care lest We
fall into the error of identifying change
with degeneration. Formerly the emphasis
was largely placed on aecurate registration
of facts and a nice understanding Of words
and symbols. To-day the emphasis Is on
their Interpretation and use. In other
words the student Of to-day is different but
not necessarily inferior. Most of them
know less Latin and Greek but more modern
language To the group Of hard working
ambitious students of former times have been
added many others, for it Is now the thing

college usually came from homes with
libraries and music and cultural background
The college to-day does not represent any
single class. It is a cross section of our
entire American life. Undoubtedly the col
lege Is less literary than when it belonged
to a single class or trained men for only
three or four callings. "The quiet and still
air of delightful studies" no longer describes
the eager and "husting" life of the college
student.
But while the students have lost in some
directions they have gained in others. The
student of to-day is more ambitious than the
student Of the last generation and does
harder work even though the work be of
different kind. He takes just as high rank
i'm his classes as did the student of fifty years
ago. though the range of subjects in which
he is Interested is quite different. In any
good college one can see the lights burning
till after midn ght in many q laboratory, and
students taking field trips in geology or
botany or engineering which occupy half
day or even a whole day The students in
scientific courses work far harder than their
fathers did before them, because the courses
are far more interesting and far more vitally
related to life, The students Of to-day are of
"a more vigorous type, physically and in.
tellectually than in any preceding genera
;ion even though certain cultural values we
often miss.
The publications issued by the students are
ADLER than those of fifty years ago. their
dramatic productions are much finer. their
athletic sports are cleaner. and the college
songs of to-day are vastly superior to the
drinking songs or the senseless ditties cur
rent in the last generation.
The growth Of wealth in this country has
not appreciably affected the situation. There
are a few g'ided youths concentrated in
few colleges, but nine-tenths of the college
students are in modest circumstances-hard
working. open minded steady in purpose and
improving their opportunities. We have no

Is the American college student of to-
