RUBBISH

Spontaneous Combustion is a
fire that starts itself. 1t has
been discovered that cotton
waste, oily rags, and certain
other things, if left to them
selves, will grow hotter and
hotter and finally burst into
flame. So remember that if
you don't burn your rubbish it
may suddenly start to burn all
by itself and perhaps in the
middle of the night.

President Hodgdon of Valparaiso
at Valparaiso, Indiana, has
resigned giving as a reason that the
school has become a hotbed of bolshe-
vism and communism, and all his eff
forts to bring a change have failed.
This school has 1000 students and
$50 teachers, and the condition report
ed by the retiring official furnishes
subject for very serious reflection.
"The stream of propaganda" says
DIR. Hodgdon, "can be traced to the
very heart of the federal government,
so firmly are its protagonists in
trenched. There has been fostered by
faculty and outsiders, bolshevism,
communism, and other cults, the prac-
tice of which is destructive to Ameri-
can ideals and principles. Unsigned
letters have come to my desk, warning
me against the principle 1 have
preached, namely, loyalty to Ameri-
canism and American industrial life as
the basis of American citizenship. l
have been visited by so-called reds
ana 1orelgn-Dorn members OF organ
izations claiming to be backedS by
strong influences. 1t is possible that
much of the unrest of college life to-
day is due to these destructive in
fluences, aimed to destroy the basic
principles upon which this govern
ment is founded"
1t may be that the state of affairs
at Valparaiso is exceptional, but it
serves as a warning to other centers
of learning throughout the country,
Trustees and directing boards of
such institutions cannot keep too
watchful an eye on what il transpir-
ing in the classrooms. 1t was only q
short time ago that the University Of
Pennsylvania purged itself Of the no.
