New u. of NJ. Dean
Assumes His Post

Expressing a desire to develop a
system through which business stu
dents will receive large portion of
their training in business establish
ments, R. A. Stevenson, new dean of
the school of business, began his du-
ties at the University of Minnesota
Wednesday.
At the University of Cincinnati,
from which Dean Stevenson comes,
students in the school of commerce
alternate between a months work in
college and month in a selected bust
ness. He said this system could not
be adopted at Minnesota because the
classes in economics contain num-
Der of students who are not training
for business. The new dean declar-
ed, however, that he would. determine
some method by which more training
could be given off the campus at Min
nesota.
Dean Stevenson, who fills the posi-
ton left by Dean George w. Dowrie,
was graduated from the University
of Michigan in 1913. He received
the master of arts degree from the
University of Iowa and the doctor of
philosophy degree from Michigan. He
served on the faculty of the Univers-
ity of Iowa from 1914 until 1920 when
he became chairman of the commerce
department in the college of engin-
eering and commerce at the Univers-
ity of Cincinnati.

HIS CONSCIENCE

A New York lawyer, gazing idly out
of his window, saw the pretty stenog-
rapher across the street sitting in her
employers lap. The lawyer noticed
the lettered name on the window, and
then searched in the telephone book.
Still keeping his eye upon the scene
across the street, he called the gentle
man up. In few moments he saw
him start violently, and take down the
receiver. EYES," said the lawyer
through the phone, 81 should think
you would start"
The victim whisked his arm from
its former position, and began to
stammer something.
EYES," continued the lawyer severe
ly, 81 think you'd better take that arm
away. And while you're about it, as
long as there seem to be plenty of
chairs in the room"
The victim brushed the lady from
his lap rather roughly.
"Who-who the devil is this, any,
way?" he managed to splutter.
81" answered the lawyer, in deep,
impressive tones, "am your con-
science" and then he hung up.-From

COuzens Offers Farm
Free To Profit Maker

| Especial to the New York Times)
The elaborate farm of Senator
James Couzens in the Bloomfield Hills
section has been offered by him free
rent to any man who can operate it
and make it pay profit. The Sena-
tor even offers to pay the taxes on
the 900 acres, but the person rho
takes over the land must be able to
convince the Senator that his plans
are proper for paying purposes. A
young man with experience in farm
ing is preferred.
The Senator would retain for his
personal use his Summer home on the
farm and small acreage. This would
leave about 500 acres of productive
land for any kind Of farming. The
Senator has been unable to make the
farm show profit, but he says this
must not be taken to mean that he is
discouraged about the conditions of
farming. He has never made a seri-
Gus effort to make the farm pay, but
is anxious to learn if it can be made
to produce dividends.
II stand ready to make certain in
vestment for the stocking Of the farm
with sheep and cattle, or whatever is
required" said Senator Couzens. "All
l ask is that the man selected rely on
his own initiative and make his own
living. If he makes money and keeps
up the place and equipment proper
ly he may use it indefinitely"
The farm represents an investment
of several hundred thousand dollars.

come to your bedside in the darkness
and l have knelt here, choking with
emotion, and SO ashamed!
It is feeble atonement, 1 know you
would not understand these things if
l told them to you during your wax
ing hours, yet l must say what am
saying. l must burn sacrificial fires,
alone, here in your bedroom, and make
free confession.
And | have prayed God to strength
en- me in my new resolve. Tomorrow
l will be a real daddy! 1 will chum
with you, and suffer when you suffer
and laugh when you laugh. l will
bite my tongue when impatient words
come. l will keep saying, as if it
were ritual: "He is nothing but a
boy-a little boy!"
l am afraid I have visualized you
as man. Yet as l see you now, son,
crumpled and weary in your cot,
see that you are still a baby. Yes
terday you were in your mothers
arms, your head on her shoulder. I
have asked too much, too much!
Dear boy! Dear little son! A PEN
itent keels at your infant shrine, here
in the moonlight. l kiss the little
fingers, and the damp forehead, and
the yellow curls; and, if it were not
for waking you, l would snatch you
up and crush you to my breast.
Tears came, and heartache, and re-
morse and-I think-a greater,
deeper, love, when you ran through the
library door and wanted to kiss me!

A LITTLE BOY

Listen, son: / am saying this to
you, as you lie asleep, one little paw
crumbled under your cheek and the
blond curls stickily wet on your damp
forehead. have stolen into your
room alone. Just few minutes ago,
as l sat reading my paper in the libr-
airy, hot, sitting wave of remorse
swept over me. l could not resist it..
Guiltily 1 came to your bedside.
These are the things l was think
ing, son: l had been cross to you.
1 scolded you as you were dressing for
school because you gave your face
merely a dab with a towel. took
you to task for not cleaning your
shoes. 1 called out angerily when l
found you had thrown some of your
things on the floor.
At breakfast l found fault, too.
You spilled things. You gulped down
your food. You put your elbows on
the table. You spread butter too
thick on your bread. And as you start
ed off to play and l made for my
train, you turned and waved little
hand and called, Goodbye, Daddy!"
and 1 frowned, and said in reply,
Hold your shoulders back!"
Then it began all over again in the
late afternoon. AS came up the hill
raod 1 spied you, down on your knees
playing marbles. There were holes
in your stockings. l Inundated you
before your boy friends by making
you march ahead Of me back to the
house. Stockings were expensive
and if you had to buy them you would
be more careful! Imagine that, son,
from a father! 1t was such stupid,
silly logic.
Do you remember, later, when l
was reading in the library, how you
came in, softly, timidly, with a sort
of hurt, hunted look in your eyes :?
When l glanced up over my paper,
impatiently at the interruption, you
hestitated at the door.
"What is it that you want?" l
snapped.
You said nothing, but ran across,
in one tempestuous plunge, and threw
your arms around my neck and kissed
me, again and again, and your small
arms frightened with an affection that
God had set blooming in your heart
and which ever neglect could not with
err. And then you were gone, patter-
ing up the stairs.
Well, son, it was shortly afterwards
that my paper slipped from my hands
and terrible, sickening fear came
over me. Suddenly l saw myself as
1 really was, in all my horrible sell
fishness, and l felt sick at heart.
What had habit been doing to me :?
The habit of complaining, of finding
fault, of reprimanding-all of these
were my rewards to you for being a
boy. 1t was that / did not love you;
it was that 1 expected so much of
youth. 1t was measuring you by Me
yardstick and my own years.
And there was so much that was
good, and fine, and true in your char
acter. You did not deserve my treat
ment of you, son. The little heart of
you was as big as the dawn itself ov-
er the wide hills. All this was shown
by your spontaneous impulse to rush
in and kiss me goodnight. Nothing

NOTHING TO Do

Thank goodness there are not many
towns left that are absolutely devoid
of community spirit. It's only now
and then that one will find place
so dead that it doesn't at least have
a factional fight or political SQUAD
BILE, or a school board tussle, or some
thing that will indicate life
But there are too many that do not
cultivate civic pride. Too often the
inhabitants state that there is moth
ing around which civic pride can be
developed. They say that they have
no means, no parks, no pretty drives
and streets, no beautiful buildings.
To those let it be here stated that
flower beds cost very little. A street
is just what people make it. A coat
of paint could easily raise the stand
ards of the street scenes.
It's the smaller things that are so
often overlooked. And those are the
very things that keep communities
dragging in the mud. Those are the
things that have made nationally
known cities out of obscure hamlets.
Those are the things that put down
the rebellion wages by the knockers,
misers and GROWERS. A town that
never has anything to do in a public
way is on the road to the cemetery.
Any citizen who will not do thing
for his town is digging the grave.
A man who curses the town fur
nishes the coffin.
