each to meet it's peculiar requirements,
but both conforming, in general, TO the
principles of self-education.
Will the college of the future be
teaching institution only? In recent
years there has been great development
of research activities in practically all
of the larger and more prosperous in
stitutions. and these activities have
been challenged.
"Glorification of research at the ex-
pense of teaching is one OF the chief
besetting sins of the American college
and university" said DR.. Hamilton Holt,
president of Rollins College. There
would be no complaint Of the modern
fetish for research if every large insti-
tuition had a great research man and
great teacher at each end of the faculty
circle, with a second great research
man and a second great teacher next
to them. and so on until the average
and mediocre teacher Is reached at the
bottom of the arc. But this is not the
case. The research whip hangs over
the profeSsors-eSpeciaily the younger
ones. Research is glorif1ed; teaching is
sacrificed"
Hibben Doesn't See Separation.
But DR.. Hibben doesn't see this sep
aration between a great research man
and a great teacher He feels that
research is an indispensable aid to
great teaching. THE research pursuits
Of a teacher enable him to grow in
knowledge and in enthusiasm for his
subject, and these have an effect on
his students. 1t is not dificult task
for teacher to give life to knowledge
when that knowledge comes to him as
something newly discovered to the
world of scholars"
Another side of the university picture
is that presented by DR.. Abraham Flex-
ner in his recently established Institute
Of Advanced StudNes-a university with
out rules, without athletics and extra
curricular activities, designed as CEN
ter of learning, rather than a means of
training
What impression the impact Of these
times will make on these various ideas
Of university life and organization, it
Is impossible to do more than guess at,
Of course. The huge endowments,
many of them tied by dead hands to
certain purposes. assure certain modi-
cum of permanency. But the extraor-
dinary phenomenon Of 10000 900 stu
dents in college cannot be expected to
follow standardized paths, or to express
itself in fixed forms. The college Of
the future will be many types of COL
lege, undoubtedly, as new ideas are de-
veloped and old ideas are temolded to
new conditions.

" DUCATION Is a major industry

professions of the June COM
IL mencements are reminding us.
Indeed, some high : handed
critics class much of 1t as a mass
production industry. The capital in
yestment. receipts and output OF the
more prosperous universities rival In
volume the totals Of big business.
Harvard with an endowment OF more
than SlO8 OO0, COO and an annual budget
exceeding $13,0000OO. and Columbia,
with more than 100000 endowment
and a budget that tops $l2,O0000o, are
examples OF an industry that even in
1882 finds 1t necessary to operate full
time in order to meet the demand OF
customers. Neither OF the institutions
named has cut salaries, and each Is
ending the year with an output, meas
ured in numbers of graduates, as large
as any in It's history. President William
Allan Nelson recently said OF Smith

New York University entitled the main

Democracy and New Age.
The world passed into new age with
new age born in greater agony or in .
more difficult environment for healthy
and normal growth. What we make OF
it as democracy is of vital concern
not only to ourselves but to the whole
world
So far as my part is concerned, many
paths In life are closed to me. Much
that I would like to do I cannot. But
have tried to bring more closely to-
getheI the people Of the Empire. the
English-speaking peoples. and to further
our interests abroad. I have had my
failures, I know; but In these years, with
few precedents to guide us, to have no
failure Is to have attempted nothing
Let me make 1t quite clear that I
am not asking any one to launch yet
another organization. Far from It.
The message that have tried to give
you is threefold one:
First, for fresh response to national
service: for greater spirit Of unselfish
and adventurous helpfulness in tbs
midst Of problems which our ablest men
find difficult to unravel
The second point is that the oppor-
tunity for service Is at our door-in our
own village. In our own town.
And my third and last point is this:
That depression and apathy are the
devils own; thev are not English. 20
awav with them!
Many great audiences have filled this
hall MANY great causes have been
pleaded from this platform But never,
am confident. has there been such a
catherine Of both young and old eager
to help T. the service OF their fellow
men. Lei us make ourselves fit for

Adams Named To
District Board
By Supervisors

BY an unusual vote of two to
three, the county board of super
visors yesterday afternoon named
Burleigh Adams, BraWley real es-
tate man, representative from di-
vision No. to the board of direc-
tors of the Imperial Irrigation
district.
Adams appointment yesterday
afternoon came Unexpectedly, and
went through only after heated op-
position by A. Y. Preble and
Romeo Smith, who cast dissenting
votes when Henry Jackson, Dave
Vencill and w. j. Best voted to
appoint the BraWley man.
Previously, Smith had moved to
postpone the appointment until
April 19. His motion was seconded
by Preble, but these two were over
ruled by the same majority which
named Adams to the irrigation dis
trict board.
During the course of the discus
sion of various candidates who had
been named as prospective ap-
rointeeS, Preble pointed out that
property, and is not paying any
county taxes. When the matter
of appointment came up Dave
Vencill was appointed chairman
pro tenn, and Henry jackson, as
supervisor from the north end dis
triet moved for appointment Of
Adams. His motion was seconded
by Best, and Vcncill joined the two
when the motion came to a vote.
Other business transacted by the
supervisors yesterday afternoon was
of a routine nature. Bids for
county printing were rejected, and
the clerk directed to advertise for
new bids
The clerk also was directed to
advertise for bids on a road grader
for district No. 2.
The appointment Of an irriga
ton district director was a sur
prise. Although the appointment
had been scheduled for this session
of the supervisors, it was the gen.
eral impression, even about district
headquarters. that the matter
would be put off until the next
meeting.
The supervisors had planned to
adjourn at noon yesterday, but
found unfinished business so
urgent they carried their ses-
sion on.

NOTED OUTDOOR
AUTHORITY IS
VALLEY VISITOR

Capt. Frank Winch interna-
tionally known big game hunter,
authority on American outdoor life
and biographer Of Buffalo Bill, who
addressed The chamber of COM
merce this noon, will be heard over
KXO tonight in a talk on sports
manship.
Captain Winch, who as writer
and lecturer has dedicated his life
to promotion of outdoor life and
protection of animal life, has had
a notable career as a lecturer and
writer and at present is making a
l0000-mile tour throughout the
country, addressing various organ
izations in person and over the
radio.
He is manager of the Gilmore
bureau of sports, which distributes
information on the great outdoors
to millions of tourists annually.
As sponsor of the migratory bird
bill, which obtained an appropria-
ton Of $8,00O0O0 to save wild ducks
from extinction, Captain Winch
performed a vital service for. every
state in the union and of no little
Importance to Imperial VALLEY
which is the feeding ground for
thousands of these birds annually
The captain is active in over a
score of organizations dedicated to
outdoor sports and animal life con-
SerVation, has travelled throughout
the United States, Canada and the
British Isles, and his work has been
highly praised by press and educa-
tional organizations.
Public consciousness has been
aroused to the economic value OF
our wild life and natural resources
throughout the nation Captain
Winch stated today. ITO the Pa
cific coast, the last frontier of our
really great primitive areas, the
subject is one of AIMING interest.
OutdoorSmen spend millions of
dollars a year, they are just real
izing that the coast is the place to
spend that money. The Gilmore
bureau Of sports during 1881 booked
nearly two million travel miles on
the Pacific coast and with our con-
facts throughout the nation we
hope to assist in bringing a mil
lion tourists to the coast in 1882
