FRATERNITIES
r w. Howe

From 16 to 60 a man is lmportuned
all along the route to belong to ira
ternities. There are great many
more of them outside OF the college
than inside, and the pressure to JOIN
them is equally strong. Most OF them
are positive detriments. None OF them
give the benefits promised, and Few
are simply endurable. All through
life we have to make our choice on
fraternities. Some of them we must
ioin whether we want to or not, but
ninety-nine of them in hundred are
a good thing to keep out of. The dill
ficulty about fraternities is that they
permit too little ruggedness of charac-
fer. permit too much reliance upon
others and obliterate personal respon-
sibility too greatly. They produce clan
nishness and littleness. They prac-
tically efface broad-guageness of char
acter and a fair way OF looking at
things. 1 have joined many OF them'
but / never joined one but what L left
it mighty soon because L found out
that it was not what l wanted, ana
did not do what l thought 1t d1d. "A
person who cannot succeed without
Joining a herd ought to organize ms
own herd. That is what many do. II
YOU organize the fraternity and run
it yourself that is all right, but to pay
an admission fee to get into a crowd
of other peoples subordinates isn't
business. In my younger days there
was a young man who got impressed
with the idea that nobody ever
amounted to anything unless he be-
came a Mason. The idea took such
hold of him that he became a some
what prominent Mason, and his whole
life work expended itself upon it. My
advice to a young man is to learn to
pitch in and fight his battles single
handed. This advice doesn't cost much,
but my observation is the single-hand-
ed fellows are the ones that get there.

finish Scrutator with the same sense
of well being as though they had
completed a good meal and smoked a

Then there is another group to
whom Scrutator is anything but pleas
ing. These, shall we say, have not the
gift of success. Life instead of flow
ing through easy, smooth channels,
is rough and full of rapids. This group,
perhaps larger than the first, finds
it hard to get along. AS life becomes
more complex and trade and industry
better organized they feel keener and
keener the press of the millstones.
Scrutator, the apostle of well being,
seems to them like the tool of relent-
less capitalism. They sense things as
wrong and they resent being told:
"All is WELL"
Scrutator is a great writer and we
enjoy reading him. But he writes for
successful part of the public.

Timber Exhaustion
Is Faced By Nation

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-President
Coolidge today asked for specific
program of timber-saving in opening
the national conference on utiliza-
ton of forest products.
The nation faces timber exhaustion,
the president warned, and the situa-
ton must be met, he insisted, by di-
minishing waste and increasing the
supply
The resources of the nation are a
trust, Mr. Coolidge declared, subject
to use by the present generation, adj
ministered free of monopolies and
from those "who will unwisely per-
NIT them to be dissipated," but there
must be restoration as well as USE
The conference is an outgrowth of
a proposition sponsored by the re-
search section of the forest service at
the request of Carlyle P. Winslow,
director of the United States forest
products labarotory of Madison, Wis.

Pnrn0Se of Education.

Purpose of Education.
Considerable misconception exists
in the purpose of our educational
system. Some educators think it is
run for their benefit. Athletes look at
it from a physical standpoint. Politi
clans think the system is operated to
develop strong state. Too many pu-
pills conceive the idea that an educa-
tiOnal system is maintained for the
purpose of making them better money
makers, instead of being better able
to serve the world. DR.. Edward A.
Fitzpatrick, dean of Marquette uni
versity graduate school, strikes the
nail on the head when he says:
"The end of all education is sup
posed to be for thing called society,
with a capital letter. he said. 'This
is the notion that existed in China and
other oriental countries thousands of
years ago. All that was to be done
was to make the individual a perfect
brick in the social structure.
All Are By-PrOducts
Gas a matter of fact, a sound So
GEOLOGY and a sound morality point
out clearly that the purpose of the
social inheritance, of schools, play
.,
museums is the development of hui
man personality. We talk about So
ciety and it's needs as if they were
things at which we directly aim in
stead of being mere by-products In
the education of individuals.
1.-THE improvement of conditions, the
increasing social Inheritance, the
making of new inventions, the reduc-
ing of the hours of labor are pr1-
marily in the interest OF the 1ndlv1d-
ual to higher life
DR.. Fitzpatrick declared that edu-
cation was can unacceptable personal
responsibility of parents" He added
that the schools exist merely to help
the parents do the job.
Responsibility on Parents
Fairgrounds and other recreation
al devices exist for the same pur-
pose: they are instruments to help
parents do a better job" he added.
"The education of children is not
primary responsibility of the state,
nor of other social agencies, but OF
the parents.
'The sad thing is that the existence
of these agencies to supplement the
home often is erected into excuses by
parents for shifting their response
bility. We come to think too often of
the school as the sole educational
agency. We must conceive the entire
life of the child as the educational
means. Tt must be an organized life.
One instrumentality must help the
other-school must help playground;
library must help school; museum
n,ust sunnlement all, and the integri-
tv of the individual must be obtained
by the home bringing into 1t these
many influences.
GAS I see it, the responsibility of
the Parent-Teacher association IS one
of the means of migrating all the
community factors in education"

RadicaliSIn.

Speaking of the recent election one
man says at is a triumphant rejec-
ton of Radicalism." Another man,
equally sincere, says: "The election
of Coolidge is a part of a reactionary
movement now sweeping the world"
Both mean what they say. And each is
right.
Twenty years ago the world was
tasting eagerly of liberalism. 1t found
it good. Following a period of trust
organization (the election of McKin-
ley had many of the same phases as
that of Coolidge) corporation batting
became a habit Roosevelt, the iron
hearted Progressive was in the sad
die. "The Wisconsin Idea" was COM
ing into full flower. Bob La Toilette
had ridden to fame on the chariot OF
idol smashing. Tom Johnson had the
street railroads on the run in Cleve-
land. State legislatures were erecting
utility commissions and passing two
cent fare laws. The corporations had
to take their medicine bitter as it
was. And so on through the cycle.
A little later came the rise of the
labor groups. Instead of fearing cor
porate power and wealth the general
public began to fear the encroach-
ments of labor. At it's worst phase
labor became anarchistic, cynical and
brutal. The election of Coolidge is in
part an effort to check labor power
and set labor in it splace.
The American people in no uncer-
tain tones said: eve want Coolidge"
That meant Dawes also. 1t meant the
open shop in labor. 1t meant the en-
couragement of business. 1t meant
within bounds, the assurance toward
invested wealth that things would go
along in an even way and that there
would be no undue interference with
economic life of the country. And that
is exactly what capital wants.
But radicalism, idol smashing, the
seeking of new ideas and new ways,
will go on in the world. Always in
minority, temporarily at times cap
turing the public mind, then losing it,
radicalism will continue. Most people
are radical only insofar as injustice
to themselves is concerned. Once their
own affairs are adjusted they are
quite content to go ahead conserva-
lively even though rank injustice
stalks for others Think it oversee
if this is not so.
There are phases of radicalism,
spurious and otherwise. Some radi-
Gals mean well but are poor econom-
lists. That is what happened to Russia.
1t might have happened here.
And other radicals are of the simon
pure type They think ahead of their
time Fifty, perhaps hundred years,
they throw their vision into the fu-
ture. In 1900 men saw the abolition of
human slavery. They argued hopeless
ly for it, They died in a world well
satisfied with rank injustice. But in
the course of six decades human free
dom came Fifty years ago man
dreamed of world without war. They
died. Wars continued, terminating in
cataclysm Today we think of ways
to abolish war. We are catching up
with our great radicals. 1900 years ago
Jesus talked of love and brotherhood.
Today we are getting glimpse OF
what he meant He died on the cross
but His spirit lives on.

SIMPLEST THING IN THE WORLD

VIM. Wrigley Jr., is one of the big
gest and most successful advertisers
in the world. He was asked to tell
the secret of successful advertising.
Here is his answer: Tell 'em quick.
and tell 'em often. You must have
good product in the first place, and
something that people want, for it IS
easier to row downstream than up.
Explain to folks plainly and sincerely
what you have to sell, do it in as few
words as possible-and keep everlast-
ingly at them. Advertising is pretty
much like running furnace. You've
got to keep on shoveling coal. Once
you stop stocking the fire goes out.
It's strange that some peoples imagln-
alton can't compass this fact"

The Ultimate Consumer is
the Ultimate Taxpayer.

Demagogy says: "Take the taxes
off the poor and put them on the
rich"
President Coolidge says: "You can
not tax a class as a class, for every
body is a taxpayer. The great cor
porations, the banks, the railroads
all the great incomes-do and must
collect their money from the people.
All our food, clothing, shelter and fuel
pay taxes to the government.
Overtax the big industries in charge
of these and you overtax the ultimate
consumer, the common people.
Demagogy knows this perfectly, and
betrays the people by pretending it is
not so.-Selected.

Australian Socialism.

n
Investigators of the socialistic eX-
pertinent in Australia find no such
TTtonia as the MARKHAM disciples are
fond of dreaming of. In an indefinite
and nebulous sort of way the MARKHAM
thinks of socialistic state as place
where no one man benefits more than
another All work for the common
good Government (and there is bound
to be excessive government is admin
istered according to the golden rule.
1t listens good so it must be right.
To all intents and purposes the So
cialists have had their way in Aus
tralia. The workers there are cogs in
a vast political machine dominated by
parlor reds. The standard of living,
general prosperity and individual OPP
portunity are nowhere near as high
as in capitalistic America. Labor des-
potism is costly to operate. There is
no chance for the worker to rise.
And in that last phase lies the worst
of it for the Australian working man.
Regardless of his personal initiative
or genius he has no doors to open. He
must stay where he is.
Our system gives the individual a
chance to rise. Industry here has
greatly benefited because individuals
have set their wits at work to shorten
labor tasks by improving machines.
The direct reward is the chance for
inventive individual. Indirectly, the
whole field of labor benefits.
Remove personal incentive and you
remove the handspring of human ac-
tivity. Comparing individuals with So
cialism the first triumphs by long
odds.

Two Great Men.

We grant much to genius. Genius
can say things and do things common
men cannot say or do. Genius has the
right, God-given perhaps, to be ego
istic.
In Norway years ago, lived two
great men. One, Hendrix Ibsen, was
an idoI-smasher, an inconoclast. He
developed through the phases OF ro-
mantle lyricism in Loves Comedy
to the stern realism and hopelessness
of when We Dead Awaken" He was
the apostle of seeing things as they
are, the stripper of shams, the voice
calling for reality in the world to
rid itself from injustice.
The other man was Bjorne Born
sterne. He was an idealist. All his life
he wore the rose glasses of romance.
His works are models of ethereal beau
ty. The glowing hearth, the true soul,
the happy but simple life the stars at
twilight, the glowing sun over the
fiords at dawn-these things were
exalted in his works. Biornsterne saw
things not as they are but as he
wanted them to be. To read him is to
wander into a golden land of beauty
and illusion.
Because Ibsen despised Bjornsterne
for his sentiment and Bjornsterne de-
cried Ibsen for his materialism, the
great men were lifelong enemies.
But at the close the wounds were
healed and Ibsen wrote his friend of
early days: after all, loved you
best" Then the curtain rolled down
on their lives.
In writing to a friend on the sub
ject of trail-blazing, Ibsen the great
egoist. naively said: 1--WE are the
path-finders, the solitary franc-tireurs
of civilization Far on the outposts
we carry the flag of progress. Solitary
figures, we scale the peaks of destiny.
the great army of mankind marching
on the plains far behind
To us Ibsen was the greater man.
No person can read him without feel
ing the stroke of genius. the deft
touch of the great realist as evil
denced in Rosmersholm or the Dolls
House But we love Bjornsterne. He
gives us that touch of illusion that
makes life sweet, adventurous and
liveable.
