worth while to himself first, and then
thru himself to society. Its immediate
end is in the individual, to open up
new worlds to him, and the more in
dividuals it touches and the more
deeply it affects them, the larger the
map of life grows both for the indi-
vidual and for society. And man has
reached stage in his history at
which he must have these new spiri-
tual worlds to conquer. He has van
ouished the material realm and is fall
ing into the confusion which always
attends idleness. But that is anoth-
er story and would require another
article.
This is long view of education.
But the distant look may keep the
closeup pointed right. If Emerson
was correct about the wagon and the
star we need star as we'll as a Wag-
on. I think it would be quite as
American to advocate government by
and for the Four Hundred as to fos-
ter the ideal of higher education for
the top four per cent.-The School of

READS SPLENDID
STORY IN CHAPEL

Thursday morning, President c. E.
Allen very impressively read "The
Daguerreotype" written by Mary Null
let. He asked that the students
might apply the lesson to their own
experiences.
The story told of young gentle
man, Oglesby by name. who has fol-
lowed in his fathers steps and had
very little confidence as too often
He believed it to be very inferior to
his own.
After young Oglesby married, Ag-
mes, his wife was taken very ill. Both
the husband and his father went to
her bedside. The young man called
in DR.. Benson, a well-known physi-
clan, in whom he had much confidence
When the physician called he con-
suited DR.. Oglesby regarding her con-
dition. At first DR.. Benson asked
many questions but as the older man
continued he asked fewer and fewer
Finally he seemed to have nothing
more to ask. He was astounded at
the depths of knowledge which the
unassuming Doctor Oglesby had in
critical cases like that Of his young
son, Oglesby's wife. Suddenly anc
with keen intensity the young mar
is made to feel from the Difference
paid to his father by the famous ply
stefan that he is the son Of genius
Up to that moment he had been toe
blind and stupid to realize it.

FIVE POWER TREATY
NOW READY
Naval Experts Worked Sunday Whip.

Shape. Draft of Treaty

i Washington, Jan. S-The five pow
ers treaty for limiting naval arma-
ments constituting the most forward
step in the history of the world to-
wards disarmament is ready for final
approval by the chief delegates in the
conference.
The naval experts after working
most of Sunday, finished their task
by whipping into shape, various pro-
visions which have been agreed on
for the limitation of naval ornaments
it was learned officially.
Now the draft Of the treaty goes
to the principle delegates of the five
great powers for final approval. 1t
will then be proclaimed to the world
in a plenary session which is virtually
certain to be held this week.
While some changes involving ques
tons of policy probably will be made
by the plentipotentiaries, it is not ex-
pected to take long for the treaty to
be finally approved.
The principal terms to be embodied
in the treaty are already fully known
in general. The United States may
bring fortl, another sensational pro-
posal akin to the Root resolution ban
ming poison gas and preventing unre-
stricted submarine warfare which
would prohibit bombing unfortified
cities by air craft.

ATHLETIC COACH
BEGINS HIS WORK

At the beginning OF the winter
quarter we have new member of the
faculty, who is giving his time to the
departments of History and Physical
Education. This new man is Mr.. L.
G. Hurst, who comes to the institu-
ton from Bloomington, Illinois,
where he has taken special courses in
history and allied subjects in Illinois
Wesleyan University and has had
wide experience in athletic coaching,
particularly in basketball.
In 1918 Mr.. Hurst entered the navy
and was, for some time, athletic in
structor in the Great Lakes Naval
Training Station. Last season he was
member Of the State Officials As
sociation of Illinois, and worked near
ly one hundred basketball games in
different parts of the state. He has
coached all branches of athletics, and
during the past three seasons has de-
veloped two championship basketball
teams and one in football.
The coming of Mr.. Hurst will re-
lieve Director Spalding, who must
now, because Of the large enrolment,
devote his time to the teaching of
regular classes in Hygiene and Phys
zeal Education. The outlook for the
basketball season is exceedingly
bright and Mr.. Hurst will no doubt
help to make it success in every
way.
