A BETTER SPIRIT IN COLLEGE
ATHLETICS.

The time was when many college
athletes felt a sort of immunity from
scholastic requirements; they eonsid-
cred that their athletic prowess was Of
sufficient Importance to make up for
classroom delinquency and general lacl,
Of attention to college studies. These
athletes were toadied to by their EEL
low-students and more or less so by
various members of the faculty, so
that the false notion of substitution of
muscular prowess for mental attain
ments gained ground steadily in the
minds of the athletes. Then came a
reversion to first principles, and the
false god Of athletic prowess was relc-
gated to its proper place in the scheme
of things collegiate. Faculties became
more strict; students got truer per-
spective of the athletic side OF college
life; athletes themselves began to see
the error of their way. Nowadays the
mental SLOUGH in college gets his prop
er position, whether he be an athlete
or not; the man who thinks he can
make Drawn a passing substitute for
brain is out of caste. To-day the ath-
lete who is honored is the athlete who
can and does maintain reasonably
good scholastic standing. A healthier
tone has been introduced into the col
lege world. Athletes are oftentimes
honor students now, rather than the
unusual exception. For instance, we
read that out of six members OF the
senior class Of Dartmouth college se-
Gently elected to Phi Beta Kappa, an
organization whose membership IS
based on scholarship, three were men
who had been more or less prominent
in the athletic life of the institution,
two being so-called "D' men. One can
not help noticing the change in college
standards and to applaud the change
as a vast improvement in ideals and
practical benefits.

One of the chief things said in Ber-
lin in support Of the appointment of
DR.. Otto Ludwig Wiedfeldt as ambas-
sador from Germany TO the United
States is that he is rich enough to
stand the financial drain incident to
such service in the United States. That
sort OF support may be intended as
more or less camouhaged propaganda to
impress upon the allies and the Unit
ed States that Germany is a nation
of poor people. At any rate, the dec
laration will be taken with a grain Of
salt by the people OF the United States.
In a sense, the first ambassador to the
United States from Germany after the
war must prove himself; he win rot
be taken merely for what be Is repre-
sented to be. The American people mad

the diplomatic representatives of Ger

Reports Of family of nine people
living in a single small room, of Two
horses tethered without shelter in the
dooryard, Of two dead horses lying
nearby and of COW that was badly
emaciated-such story coming from
Lyme Center, N. H., just across the
Connecticut river from Vermont
make forcible reminder that the
Starving people of Russia are not
the only ones who ought to come with

ing to relieve suffering. That fam
lily should permit itself to come to such
a stage of want and deprivation with
out making its needs known is some
thing to be wondered at; that such
poverty should continue to. exist in
any community without some good
Samaritan coming along is almost past
comprehension. The story from Lyme
Center is most surprising.

One Of the machine shops at Spriag
field which have been running on light
business during the past two years las
received an order from France, the
first from that source in those Two
years. The order is not large and its
completion win require no more than
the present decreased force Of the shop,
so says the statement Of the company.
However, the receipt of this order may
be taken to indicate gradual resump-
ton of business, When Europe gets

States it is almost sure sign that Tie
industrial and commercial world Is

II the reports from Minnesota be
correct, Congressman Volstead of the
seventh Minnesota district has only
about one-half Of one per cent PLEDGED
delegates to the Republican district
convention to nominate successor 10
himself. But, according to Volstead,
one-half Of one per cent is rather
powerful content and he may not be
dismayed by the outlook.
