Fifth Of C~ollegiates
Attend Grant Schools

WASHINGTON. - (1 - Approx
mately one-fifth Of the resident col
lege students in the country arc at
tending land grant colleges, figures
collected by the bureau of cdnca-
tion show.
The SO land grant colleges report
ed a total of 142.779 resident stu
dents in 1926, of which 1881 were
undergraduate men students.
Before the war engineering and
agriculture were chosen by a large
majority Of the men. Present n
rollments, however, show only 43
per cent in those branches.
Since agricultural economic con-
ditions at the time Of college en-
trance are often a determining fac
tor, the report says, ii IA expected
IN the future that enrollments. which
were affected by the war and the de-
preston in 1921, will again Be sta
bilized and fewer students will be
lost to agriculture.

CHURCH OUGHT TO TURN ON
THE LIGHT
The method of the Church ought to be
that of turning on the light Chris
tianity is hght-the indispensable pre-
requisite for getting anything done
Christian churches themselves are not
called upon to do everything that is to
be done for the making of the world bet
ter, but it is surely their business to get
the light of publicity to shining. Sidney
and Beatrice Webb have said that
measurement and publicity are the in
dispensable necessities for the accomplish
ment of social reform. They were speak,
ing especially of industrial progress in the
use Of these terms, but the terms can be
given a wider application. The Church
has standards for the measurement Of
conditions in the lives of human beings
She has channels of publicity 1t is her
business, think, to keep away from all
methods which can not be proclaimed
from the housetops. She should have
nothing to do with any transactions
about which she has to enter into bar
gain, or even an agreement which will IN
any way seal her lips.
SUPPLANT AUTHORITY By
INFLUENCE
President Eliot, of Harvard, used to say
that one problem in a democracy is to
suppIant authority by influence. He was
not speaking OF government itself but
more especially Of family life and Of
church life This nation would have a
right to resent any attempt on the part
of the Roman Catholic Church or OF the
Methodist Episcopal Church, to exert
authority in a political campaign, but
what earthly reason can there be against
any organizations, or individuals, at
tempt to exert influence? influence has
to do with reasons, with honesty In
handling facts, with moral character.
ARE CHURCHES LIMITED?
AS long as we have a democracy st al
We must have, increasingly, government
by discussion. Are churches stopped
from taking part in any kind Of discus
sion which affects the public welfare juSt
because they are churches? What would
we think of church, which had unusual
means Of getting possession Of pertinent
facts If it keeps still in campaign In
which information about those facts
might be decisive? If on the basis Of it's
information the Church began to order
fits members to vote thus and so, eXerting
its eccles, astical authority, that would DO
an entirely different matter.
# I may speak Of my own denomina-
ton, the Methodist Episcopal, may re-
mark that there are about 10000 Metho-
dist preachers scattered ali over the
country whose day-by-day task enables

even II the League is not Official, the
adequate reply is that we would better
stick to realities, and ask as to the signs
that they are attempting anything else.
The notable discovery that the attempt
OF the FundamentaliSts to control public
education IN the name Of theological
standards gives a hint of what rampant
Professionalism would do If let loose with
political power has to meet the facts that
it has been the churches themselves that
have limited such political activities as
these on the part of factions in them
selves Before political Fundamentalism
could capture legislatures it would have
to capture the controlling ecclesiastical
bodies of the denominations themselves
and every time that it has been attempted
It has failed. So far as organizational
activity goes, whether through official or
unofficial channels, the churches have
shown signal restraint in dealing with
evils that might possibly have been
reached directly by political action.
LEAGUE GIVES FULL ACCOUNTING
Practically all soc!ally-minded organi-
zations-using the term in the best sense
try to get governments to act for their
causes rs long as this is done in the
open with accountings to the public OF
the expenditures involved and without re-
lance upon any form OF threat, I don't
see how there can be any other method
human nature being what 1t is, which
will take the place OF getting hold Of
legislators personally and seeing that
they at least understand what is proposed.
Stin Go not think that the Church
itself, In any official way, ought to make
use Of any methods that bear too close
resemblance to lobbying even in the most
innocent forms. One reason is that when
q representative of q church deals with
an individual legislator there is too likely
TO be an implied obligation toward the
legislator who has needed the church's
At least the legislator is
likely to feel that way, and the church.
man. IN all innocence, is likely to feel So
the more likely the more innocent he is.
For out of gratitude and goodness OF
heart a churchman may be tempted to
think the legislator is better than he is,
and to commend him for q political
which is simply not his.

Your Baby and Mine
Regulating Baby's Feeding.
ny MYRTLE MEYER El.DRED.

Mrs. M. writes MY baby Is 6 weeks
old and has gained nearly three pounds.
Is he gaining too fast? How can get
him on a three hour schedule? He cries
unless I nurse him, sometimes every
half hour. He sleeps well at night, but
only about an hour in the daytime.
Should young baby be allowed to cry?
When should put him In short
clothes? Is laxative necessary and
when shall I begin orange juice?"
Answer--The baby's gain has been
tremendous and your method OF nurs-
ing is all wrong. am sure your baby
would be far less peevish II fed only
once in four hours, and that means
absolutely on those hours and not a
minute sooner. The thing to do Is to
start that way and stick to 1t. If baby
is irritable between feelings give a
drink Of water There Is direct con-
nection between his ability to sleep well
at night without frequent nurslngs)
and his irritation in the daytime, when
fed so frequently.
The modern baby wears a dress that
is from 20 to 20 inches. long from birth
and this Is short" at 4 months with
out any effort on the part of the mother
He doesn't need a laxative II he has

II can reduce, but my problem is
how to stay reduced. I drink glass
