OUR COLLEGIATE ICEMEN

American colleges prepared for the greatest year
in their history. In almost every state of the union
the enrolment figures show marked advances and
records broken.
Yale, Princeton, Wellesley, Union, Pennsylvania,
Vassar and Dartmouth reached the pinnacle oil
their prosperity. II is also true Of many western
colleges,
Fact is that this prosperity for colleges is due
largely to the change in the viewpoint OF our educa-
tional institutions. Many cobwebs have been swept
away.
To-day the college means more than the accepted
understanding of academic reaching. II means a
broader vision Of life and a greater understanding
OF the necessity of the thing worth while.
The college man Of today is TO be found every
where. lie is at the head Of a great banking insti-
tuition, he is a chauffeur, he drives an ice wagon, ne
tlls the soil, he appears in literature and ornaments
the plumbing establishment.
Sometimes the unthinking criticize the college
because its graduates may be found driving a milk

WE WILL BE G~RASSHOPPERs
BY RICHARD LLOYD JOINS

Did YOU ever hear of Doolule?
II some fellow had told your grandfather when
he was boy that in the time Of his grandchildren a
man would take dinner one evening on the cool
summer veranda oyrloOking the broad Atlantic and
at ten O'Clock bid his friends good night saving,
Il am dining with friends on the Pacific Coast to-
morrow evening. must be on my way your
grandfather would have looked upon the predictor
as either a laughable romancer or a pitable fool.
Well-Doolittle did it. And not many people
noticed it. The whole world accepted it as a little
news item Of passing interest. Few even noted
the item and most Of those who did as quickly for
got it.
Lieutenant James H. DOolhtle, u. S. Army avia-
tor, hoped off in his a~eroplane from the broad At
lantic at Pa-io Beach at three minutes past ten
O'Clock Labor Day. At 5:34 the next afternoon
Pacific timel, he stepped out of his sky-boat at
San Diego, Calf, on the Pacific.
Doolittle stopped an hour and seven minutes at
San Antonio, Texas, to take breakfast with his wife
and mother. In actual flying time, he flew from
sea to sea in twenty-one hours and eighteen min
utes.
What would grandfather, as boy, have thought
of that? Nothing more than a passing news item
of the hour now. We have grown accustomed TO
startling events.
Some day some fellow will rise up into the heav-
ems and sail all the way around the world. And
when that day comes, even that will not amaze us.
We once thought it a wonderful thing to talk by
wire across town. Now We talk by wireless across
the continent.
We once thought it was a great thing to 60 from
New York to Buffalo in one day. Now We go from
sea to sea in one day.
You have seen in your school histories pictures
of the little Columbus feet, the Nina, the Pinta and
the Santa Maria, compared to the modern ocean
liner, nearly one-ffh Of a mile long, accommodating
thousands of passengers in the luxury of palatian
grandeur,
You have seen pictures of the little kettle-lik
locomotive, the De Witt Clinon, which was the mar.
vel of 1881 because it acquired the amazing speed
of is miles an hour. You have seen the modern
engine which pulls a palatial Pullman faster than
a mile a minute. Wonderful changes, aren't they
Well
The little air ship that Dooittle lifted above the
storm clouds and sailed by compass was but the
Santa Maria sailing an uncharted sky. A sky where
great ships will follow. 1t was the De Witt Clinton
plotting the path for the up-in-the-air passenger
coach that our children will some day use to meet
a business engagement or to greet a friend at din
ner a few thousand miles away.
All over the skies new lines of passenger ships
will fly. AS Doolittle hoped from sea to sea, we
will hop from shore TO shore.
Soon Asia is but a day away. We take breakfast
in Buenos AyreS tomorrow.

THE POINT OF VIEW

Pessimists find cause for gloom in the present
status OF the rail strike, the coal strike, the tariff
national problems which affect Oregon directly or
indirectly. But an analysis of the pessimist's gloom
reveals the dark clouds mostly in the future-bug-
aboos that are terrifying only in anticipation.
1t is true that the rail srike is being felt in car
shortages and c~urtailed service, but as a matter of
fact it is still far from a national calamity. Some
lines of production have been hard hit, notably pro-
ducers of perishable fruit, but the pinch is localized
at most.
1t is equally true that the coal srike is being felt
in some industrial lines, particularly in the east, but
there are still enormous stocks of coal on hand.
Every day, furthermore, brings the end of the coal
strike nearer, either through the force of public op-
inion or through direct federal intervention.
And as for the prospect Of a highly protective
tariff, it is a debatable matter as to whether or not
this constitutes reasonable grounds for alarm-and
probably will continue to be debatable as long as
party lines exist in the political world.
BY contrast with the p~essinlist, the opimist forms
his conclusions only from the acutal facts of the
present. He looks to the future-but refuses to
worry about it.
Here in Oregon the optimist finds much to his
liking. In the lumber production field he finds that
eighty to ninety per cent Of the mills are busy; new
facilities are being added to existing plants in Bend
and Toledo; new mills are being built throughout
the state, notably in Columbia County at Vernonia
enormous tracts of virgin timber are being exploit
ed, for example, aforementioned timber in Har-
ney and Grant counties and enormous bodies of
spruce and fir in Lincoln and Clatsop counties.
AS an index to general prosperity the optinlist
finds building operations throughout the state in
creasing rather than diminishing. Railroads are
planning and carrying out extensive development
work; new factories are being built and present
plants are being enlarged; the housebuilding pro-
gram is going forward with increased vigor in all
population centers of the state.
The optimist could add to the list indefinitely
quoting specific facts that cannot be disputed. OPP
posed to these facts, the pessimist is forced to deal
in vague generalities. From a molehill of fact he
builds a mountain Of gloom.
1t all depends upon the point of view; granting
this, we prefer the optimist.-OregoH Journal of
Commerce.
