Professor Of
History at Colby
Speaker at Lions

Carl j. Weber, instructor in the de-
partment of history at Colby College
was the very interesting speaker at
the regular weekly luncheon and meet
ing of the local Lions Club held in the
private dining room Of the Elmwood
Hotel last evening.
The text of Mr.. Weber's talk was in
substance What Excuse Has One for
travelling Abroad?" As an excuse for
his recent tour of Europe he said that
teachers, more perhaps than others,
are apt to get into ruts. This for the
reason that their contacts are. as n
whole, different in nature from those
Oh the average business or professional
man. Inc latter are continually meet
ing men In the course of their careers
VINO are richer in the ordinary expert
ences of life, men Of more mature
minds men from whom they derive
much that is wise and useful. On the
othershand, the teacher daily goes into
a classroom filled with an q YER chang
ing stream of young blood, of imma-
ture minds; youthful intellects to
whom the older ideas and PHILOSOPHERS
might appear as startling revelations.
II was, he said, very easy for a teach
er to deliver the same old lectures for
years, for the reason that the student
would seldom question it.
therefore, he observed travel with
the numerous changes which it makes
possible, and Offering as it does oppor-
tunity to study conditions of life ut
terry unlike our own, is always good
and beneficial to the teacher. One
might travel north, south, east or west
| over our United States, finding every
where the same customs and habits
| that prevailed at home. In Europe
everything is different. People there
seem to be afraid of change, and one
has an opportunity to study something
different and make comparisons His
tory. he said, was written over prac-
tically every inch of ground in Eu-
| rope, everything was old. and quoting
Washington Irving, he said: 1T long
to tread in the footsteps of antiquity
Mr.. Weber remarked that in Rome
he stood on the very spot ESQ, at least,
his guide said) where Mark Anthony
delivered his famous Grafton.
He pointed out America as the place
of opportunity. contrasting it sharply
against Europe.
Mr. Weber said that he got much
| from his tour of the various countries
which he visited. but wouldn't care to
any consideration.
The speakers talk was interspersed
| with apt passages OF verse and snap.
| by epigrams that made an immediate
hit with his hearers, and when his
| talk was concluded he was greeted
| with a hearty burst of applause.

the matter. About two hundred
complaints she thought was approx
mately the number received.
A few more witnesses were heard,
when the floor was given to George
r. Grant. legal counsel for the tele-
phone company, who sketched a
brief outline of the case, and what
it meant to the subscribers and
company. He then introduced Wal

were marked as exhibits.
The hearing will be continued at
$50 o'clock this morning.
