AS to the Old Grads.

NATURALLY you cannot expect the
IN grads to accept this new theory
in the very immediate future, but
by 1860, when, DR.. Snedden insists, it
will be adopted by the better schools,
the alumni may fall In line. Then there
will be a better and more altruistic sort
Of PROSECUTING.
Instead of scouting the preparatory
schools for possible inemen or back
field men, the old grads, who always
will do a bit of proselyting, will be
looking about for boys who would be
benefited by physical education given
by the old alma mater. They will seek
undernourished and underdeveloped
youngsters, who need the training sys-
tenn of the college, and they will find
ways of substituting them so that they
can undergo the benefits of the system.
Old grads are that way.
OF course this will be followed by
another investigation of the Carnegie
Foundation, which will be wanting 10
know why this or that college managed
to get so many students who were in
need Of physical development. There

THE good doctor said it. Heroes al
i ways have been a nuisance around
the place, yet there always have
been heroes and probably there always
will be. think that the doctor Is one
of the world greatest optimists land
therefore something Of a hero himselfl
when he predicts that the colleges will
get rid Of their heroes by 1000 A. D:
They had athletic heroes even before
the first olympic games, according to
Homer, and probably before Homer.
Considering the hero in the light Of an
evil, which probably he Is, how, then,
are YOU going to correct an evil which
has existed for more than 5000 years
in the brief space Of time allotted by
DR.. Snedden?
/ suppose that the surest way to dis
courage heroes would be to devise ways
and means to create popular disfavor
against heroes SO that whenever any
person was found guilty Of doing some
thing of heroic nature he would be
treated In the fashion he deserved. It
should be so strong that whenever a
suspected hero appeared on the scene
the whisper would go around, you see
that fellow? I heard that he Is .
hero?" :.
The first move should be to Junk all
medals, CUBS and other trophies, to
abolish block letters and the like, or
perhaps to give every student q cup, q
medal and q block letter. This Sug-
gestion Is for the colleges, of course.
Outside of colleges 1t might be neces-
sary to prohibit all acts Of heroism by
law and to provide penalties for all
those who break the law and insist
upon becoming heroes. The prohibition
of heroes might be difficult to enforce,
but then we are trying so many noble
experiments.

Ford's Garden Edict

Henry Ford made a sweeping statement the other
day when he announced that those Of his employees who
have families, and who do not raise gardens next year,
will be out of jobs in his plants.
1t is characteristic of American freedom that a man
considers it a personal problem whether he buys his car
rots and turnips at the corner grocery store or raises them
ship, IN the edict, people are saying.
However, an analytical study of the situation proves
that Mr.. Ford was acting most wisely. In days of economic
prosperity it isn't necessary to consider the living prob
iems OF ones employees. When depression comes, the
scene changes. An employer who is interested in the
home-efficiency, as well as the shop-efficiency of his men.
will look beyond the walls of his factory. That is what Mr..
Ford has done.
The gardening is an added expense to him. He has
generously offered to provide land for those who do not
have it. He is putting expert advice at the service Of ev-
cry man and woman.
There is another side to the question, too, one that
the automobile manufacturer may not have considered.
There is something in working with the soil that develops
. keener appreciation of simple values in men and women
They come a little closer to the life-giving urge. Their
souls grow along with the lima beans and rambler roses
and radishes.
climb higher and higher in a steel-girded world. Sky
scrapers have shot into the clouds. Aircraft has winged
Its way closer and closer to the stars.
This is as it should be. No one would be foolish
enough to insist that these things should not be. But while
visions soar there is a danger that they may lack the
proper foundation unless men look to the tillage of the
soil again.
1t is an economic necessity that men raise their food
when they are able and have the necessary ground and
time. But it is a spiritual necessity that they get into a
growing mood again, and swing back to a creative urge.
