Science and the College

To the Editor Of the Ercnin0 Public Lcdoer'
Sir--From the time universities were
established in Europe. in the thirteenth
century, TO this modern day. the pos
session of a diploma has afforded no
guarantee that it's holder would accept
and consider open. .mindedly the facts
known about the physical universe.
Calico was forced to rctract his state.
ments about the physical universe more
than 100 years after Magcllan's ship
had sailed around the world. and it Is
safe assertion that a goodly proper.
ton Of the contemporary gradun,cs OF
the universities failed to give assent to
his scientific views. Today. sixty years
after the theory Of evolution has been
accepted and utilized by the scientific
world. college graduates can be found
protesting against the dangers OF evolu-
ton. JUST as graduates of Calico : time
were protesting against astronomical
facts and the dangers concealed in their
acceptance.
Despite the tremendous benefits re-
sulting from science. which is merely
organized human knowledge. it is not at
all uncommon to encounter in college
graduates hostility to and fear OF scien-
tific teaching and scientific attitude OF
mind. The amelioration Of living con-
ditions. housing. transportation. COM
municatiOns. prevention Of disease. So
GEOLOGY and the social agencies growing
out Of this branch Of science - out
growths and developments of science
ought TO suffice 10 guarantee fe-long
sympathy in the breast Of every grad
ua,e of every college.
We readily condemn the education
furnished the students in the China of
old-an education that did NOT provide
the open and receptive minds in
changing and for II changing world Can
we afford to be satisfied with education
that permits any proportion Of its grad
yates to enter the world with minds
closed for the unbiased consideration of
scientific facts:

s'Sye SVSs
Toths Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir--Some time prior to the recent
disclosures of the alleged Anglo. nus .
sian pact. q writer found that Lloyd
George was very popular in the United
States. and that this was probably due
to the admiration of Americans for q
good sport. Whether the writer has the
same idea since the recent outgrowing
from Genoa is question.
A man of unrivaled adroitness is
bound to have admiration. but in the
instance of Lloyd George q high price
is paid for the privilege Of observing
and admring his tactics.
Not long ago he produced mem.
orandum from files three years old by
which he proved that he favored mod
Grafton in treating Germany In the
peace treaty. But the fact is that In
order TO retain his grip on his job
month before the Peace Commission met
he went before the English voters de-
manding vote Of confidence. on
platform promising to make Germany
pay England and every other ally conn-
try the full cost of the war. Other
''planks'' of his peace platform we're
equally impracticable and irritating.
This attitude toward the Peace Con-
ference wrecked its hopes OF cstaohsh-
ing the peace of Europe.
The fact that he had not the slight
est idea of being able to redeem these
promises appears by the memorandum
which he now produces. But the prom
ises had been made. and Lloyd George
had to perform at Versailles consist
entity with them. the result being an
other conference at Genoa three years
later.
Europe has suffered many great
wars. but few whose aftermath OF un-
settlement has been SO prolonged. The
British Premier as practical
statesman has survived all the other
politicians OF the war.
To my way of thinking. especially
after the recent Russo German and
alleged Anglo. Russian agreements,
he attitude of France and Belgium and
some Of the smaller states regarding
these performances. the unsettled state
pf Europe. the mutual suspicion and
he obvious jealousy of governments
one toward another three and half
years after the war ended bid fair TO
survive Lloyd George. -

WEBSTER GIRL WEDS
 AFTER GRADUATION
Miss Purcell Receives Nurses Diploma and Wedding Ger
 tifcate In 24 Hours

Mir. and Mrs. George Purcell and family East Main street, left Webster last week Thursday for New York. where they attended two interesting events in which their daughter, Miss Margaret Purcell. was a central figure.
 Miss Purcell graduated from the Nurses Training School of the Pres byterian Hospital that night and the members of the family attended.
 Friday night, Miss Purcell was mar ried in the Madison Avenue. Presby terian church.
 The marriage came as big sur prise to Webster friends of Miss Pur- cell, who were aware of her attend ance at the nurses school and her ap- preaching graduation. but the fact that Cupid has played a part in the course of training was not known.
 Miss Purcell became the bride of Edward Clement Jenks, assistant su- perintendent of the Presbyterian Hos Iital. and the romance that eliminated with the marriage came about through their mutual association in the duties al the hospital.
 Miss Jessie Purcell, sister of the bride. was bridesmaid. A reception rendered to the immediate relatives of the bride and groom followed at the Commissioned Army and Navy Otfi- cers' Club, of which the groom is a member.
 After an extended wedding trip, the couple will make their home at Elm hurst, Long Island.
 Miss Purcell is graduate of Bart lett High school, and widely known in Webster, where she always lived up to the time of her going to New York to train as 8 nurse.

 Under the soils and crops project, pasture management demonstrations are being carried on on the Chapman farm, on the road from South Wood stock to Pomfret. at Alexander Malt lands. Thompson; the Baton farm. Plainfeld; Arthur Day, Killlnely; W ?. Spauldme. Hampton; Thomas Mara. Windham F. O. Chafec. Wood stock; William (. Child. Woodstock. The effect of the treatment of some of these pastures with acid phosphate and lime is already showing up advantage ously Lime and acid phosphate be- ing low-priced materials. the cost is exceedingly small, but since pasture k one of the cheap sources of feed fo1 milk production, these demonstrations point out an economical practice on many of the pastures in Windham county. Another important piece of work that is being carried on under this project Is the crop rotation de monstration on the farm of Louis s. Barstow of Killingly.
 Potato demonstrations have been put it on the farms of Louis Daigle, Putnam; Raymond Wheaton. Putnam Charles E. kempton. Dayville. and William C. Child, Woodstock. Green Mountains are being used in these de- monstrations Certified Vermont, cer- tified Maine. certified Russets from New York, uneertitied Green Noun tains. home grown Green Mountains, are being compared, On the Daigle farm. the production of halves is be- ing compared with the production of smaller sized seed pieces. Potatoes are a cash crop, and the advisability of obtaining answers in regard to the best seed source and proper methods of cultivation are among the items to be considered in the demonstration work. Worth while figures obtained on local farms in Windham county mean a great deal more than guessing that q certain thing Is so, or being guided by figures obtained from a dis tant section.
