rather distinct cleavage between TIL
methods as well as the subject matter
OF the first two years and those of the
last two years. At first he called the
lower division the academic college
and the upper the university college,
but later these titles were changer to
Junior and Senior Colleges.
Small Colleges Led to 1t.
DR.. Harper then induced several
small colleges in Illinois and neighbor-
ing states to give up their last two
years OF work and become affiliated
with his university. In 1913 the I'm
iversity of Missouri induced various
struggling church colleges to do like
wise. That same year the Virginia
Association Of Colleges caused SINH
lar results in that State. In 1916 the
Texas Teachers Association classified
the colleges of the State, and several
inadequate institutions found them
selves junior colleges whether they
liked it or not. The various churches
then took up the idea, especially the
Methodist, Baptist, and Presbyterian,
and today they have a thoroughly
trustworthy system Of junior colleges.
Doubtless the most extensive activi-
ties in this field are those carried out
by the University of California. In
1911 this vast university saw that
something must be done to relieve the
pressure upon the central institution,
and it therefore inaugurated the junior
college branches. At first such
branchnes were locally supported, but
in 1919 the State began to support
them. 1t is partly because of these
subdivisions that the University of
California is able to boast of having
more than 10000 students.
The Junior College, an Answer
Dean LANCE of the School of Edu-
cation in that university has stated,
with rather shrewd humor the three
problems connected with this Junior
college movement: % Shall certain
colleges have their heads cut off, and
if so, by whom? (2) Shall the Ameri-
can university college have its legs
cut off, and, if so, where? 90 Shall
the American four-year high school
be stretched, and, if so, how? One
answer to all these questions is Yes
and with such an answer belongs the
Junior College.
1t is generally agreed among edu-
Gators today that Cd the universities
are tending to become graduate
schools; (2) the four-year college is
not maintaining control of the four
year curriculum as in former times;
that is, only the colleges with huge
endowments are holding their own;
(3) the RICH school is turning out
such vast numbers that the universe
ties and four-year colleges are not
able to handle them. In most States
possessing great state universities
the establishment of junior colleges
is looked upon as a genuine relief
from overwhelming floods of lower
classmen. The universities of Cali
fornia and Missouri, for instance,
have established them as means of
elf-defense.

(From Brown Co. JOurnaD
If DR.. l.. A. Fritsche of New Ulm
is elected to the United States senate
in the forthcoming special election, he
will trail steadfastly in the footsteps
of Senator Robert M. La Toilette OF
Wisconsin.
DR.. Fritsche said so in the opening
gun of the campaign held here Thurs
day afteroon, when he and the other
two Farmer Labor candidates for the
senatorial nomination, Magnus John
son and Charles A. Lindbergh partici-
pated in the first of the series of
harmony meetings arranged by the
Farmer-Labor party. Hot weather
and insufficient advertising were
given as causes for the small attend
ance which did not total $50 individ
uals. The Willmar assemblage the
following day did not surpass it.
In his talk at Willmar, DR.. Fritsche
laid emphasis upon his respect foi

as pathetic figure undergoing the
wrongful castigation of the nation fol
five years because he dared to vote
against Americas entry into the
World war.

thought right. He was the only
member of the Senate who stood out
when the great roar of war surged
over the nation. For five years he has
carried that load alone, ar load that
few men could withstand. Finally
he has been vindicated through the
ballot box, because last fall the peo-
pie of Wisconsin showed their faith
in him by sending him back to Con-
gress by an overwhelming vote.
"The progressives of Wisconsin had
their inning last year. Minnesota pro-
gressives, too, had an inning last
year when they sent DIR. Shipstead to
the Senate. Minnesota is going ia

"The outlook for increasing sales

was brighter" said H. NJ. Green, local
Ford dealer. "The present month is
starting out wonderfully"

~onstrating the popularity of the Ford
car than to cite figures recently com
piled which show more clearly than
anything else the tendency of the

"Of the 1O,4S2,0 900 passenger cars
registered in the United States as of
December l, 1922, forty-eight per
cent, or 5000, 1862 were Fords, and of
all automobiles in use on farms Of the

"Then there are the commercial
cars and trucks. These registered as

SWEET POTATO SALES

Sweet potato prices, the wide range
of which in city stores is a puzzle to
consumers, are fuctuating under
rather unusual conditions of supply
and demand, but fail to show any
p~rofteering by retail dealers, accord
ing to reports of a special survey of
the situation that has been made by
the State Bureau of Markets. There
is an ample supply of this vegetable,
ranking among the highest in food
value and popularity of the farm
products available in mid-winter, the
department finds, and the unexpected
trend toward lower prices Is expected
to further increase the demand.
Two grades of sweet potatoes are
the present time. The New Jersey
Sweets recognized in the markets
as the best in quality and uniformity
of grade have as new competitors,
low-priced sweet potatoes from the
States further south, heavy shipments
of which have been made to northern
markets. Many buyers are taking the
cheaper brands and except where
quality is recognized the homegrown
products are selling temporarily at a
disadvantage.

A New Years
Greeting
By Emory J. Haynes

THINK of an Egyptian pyra-
mid-the Sphinx, for in
stance, that stone forged
head of a man. 1t stolidly stares
out Of slghtless eyes over the
wastes of sand. Now think of a
big town clock in the forehead of
that hard face. The hour hand
has been wagging around and yet
around for all these centuries.
And now it marks the beginning
of another New Year. Does the
stony face smile? No. Do the
granite lips move to bid us. of
this aye, a Happy New Year? No.
If we speak up to the broken ears
do they hear? Never.
0Such a senseless, heartless thing
is time. 1t knows us not nor cares
for us. 1t has no eyes to see us.
whether we be Greeks. Egyptians
or Yankees. As well might be the
countless grains of the desert
sands, we and the generations
gone before us. Our laughter and
our tears are alike to time. If we
living beings carve a clock on its
brows; if we renew its wheels as
they wear out if we wind it day
by day and appoint u children
to keep it going after Us; if we
make its iron tongue strike the
hours on a bell, it YET is nothing
to the sphinx of Old Time. We
only are the living ones. Time
is not alive. And if there were no
living ear of man or beast on the
vast Sahara there would be no
sound of the striking clock.
IN We speak in error of the New
Years coming. 1t is we living
souls who come and 90. Time
never comes. never goes; is not
new. not Old. Time is a fetish,
an imaginary thing. Man is all,
in fact, since the soulless beasts
take NJ note of time, and Gods
measure is Eternity.
UWhat we do on New Years day
lis W tdhe uOlt u Ouf GAlSlcICS.
Away back of us are multitudes
of human lives tc whom we real
ize our relation. We say back of
us. Why not say before us? For
they are the procession that
passed this way. Are We the head
of the column. or is it they who
have gone before? In either view
we are all one. 1t Is Humanity
that is passing 0ver the earth.
The Sphinx is nothing since it has
NJ soul to see US pass, or to hear
us as we pause and o $ Il caps
in the air before him in a New
Years festival.
dT Instead of the pyramid let us
Hook up to a Father. How differ
n the thought! Eyes has He
and He sees us; ears, and He
hears our thankful acclaims.
Hands has He. which extend
themselves to sustain us, to help
the toddling children, to upbear
the aged. For a thousand years
in thy sight are bur as yesterday
when il is passed, and as a watch
in the night
gV We think today of brotherhood.
Sc are conscious alike of u
',,rta1itv and our immortality.
Life seems sweet and We are glad
So. lac seems all en-
bracing, all conquering, for we
have survived so many trials and
vet + living.
I'm vain does one seek to put it
u II words, this mighty shout of men
into the faces of the aged stars
and to the sunrise "A Happy New
Year" 1t is a day of tinkling
bells and music with dancing feet.

DUN PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
Secret to Prevailing Prayer.
l.. Men Ought Always to Pray ". ~.
Prayer is absolutely necessary to the
spiritual life. 1t is to the spiritual life
what breathing is to the physical life.
Men ought to pray under every variety
of circumStance-in times of sorrow
and burdens for strength to endure +;
in times of joy and success for grace
to behave Alright. Prayer ought to be
persisted in ever when the answer is
not Immediately seen. God does hear
and answer prayer even when we do
not understand the mysteries of delay.
H.. The Urgent Prayer of a Widow
wv. 2-S).
The picture here is of a helpless
widow who was being cheated ont Of
her property rights, coming to a god
less judge for redress. Her only
means of getting help was to prove the
justice OF her claim by her persist
ence. Even this did not gain access to
his heart, for he feared not God nor
regarded men. He complied with her
request in order to get rid of her.
The point here is not that God is like
this unjust judge and can be leased
into compliance, but rather that if
such action can be secured on the part
of a goddess judge by persistence, how
much surer will be the help of God
TO those who cry unto Him day and
night.
, The helpless widow pictures the
church in this age suffering the de-
privation of her rights. 1t is not the
church praying for vengeance upon
her enemies. but suing for the pos
session of her rights by virtue of her
covenant relation in Christ. The in
heritance of the church will be actual
lied at the coming of Christ. This
is why the truth concerning the COM
ing of Christ is so vital to Christian
ity. and why such disastrous conse-
auences follow the loss of the Blessed
Hope.
The apparent delay in the vindica-
tion of the church may dishearten
some and cause others to mock III
Peter 3:4). Jesus question should be
a solemn warning against allowing
the apparent delay of the coming of
the Lord to crowd out our praying.
Though many may give up we should
be assured that genuine faith will
abide, and that the divine promise con-
corning the coming of Christ shall be
fulfilled. We can be sure of God.
