Mann's Achievements
Cincinnati Enquirer)

(CncLnau Enquirer
 Dedication of statue to Horace Mann, first President of Antioch College is of the events of a nation wide celebration of his centenary.
 What we now know as the American system of higher education owes much to this intellectual pioneer. His contributions to higher education were far-reaching They to be in the great state universities which nonsectarian co-educa tonal knowing racial barriers foundations for real free thought and free speech.
 In six years of effort at Antioch years filled with petty annoyanceS and heart breaking lack support he profoundly changed the course American higher education.
 So much of what Horace Mann introduced has become commonplace that have little basis of comparison to show him he must have appeared to those of his generation. Now the elective system of contra distinction to classical studies and matheat- cs, are so much an intrinsic part of currcula that they seem always to have been with us.
 Perhaps we rarely envision what the years of Manns activities were like. Culture as we know it now was the possession of very few. It was Manns mission to make it the birhright of any citizen His very success makes it hard for it's possessors to appreciate his achievement.
 The statue unveiled at Antioch is replica of another erected in the statehouse ground Boston Mass. That is in commenoration of the efforts which gained for him the title Father of the American Common School" The Western replica should sym belize his success in making higher education the thing it is today.

Eighteen Years Have Passed
(The Forty and Eighter)

CThe Forty and Eighter)
 Eighteen years have passed since the last shell lrst beyond the Meuse.'
 Armistce Day speakers will be telling us that in la few days. To the phrase brings up clear ricures pictures of heroism sacrifice suffering for ILmerica-pctures of nation united with one de- termination and carrying that determination through t0 victory.
 Does it that to all Americans? There are grown men and who cannot remember November H. 1918. Every year there will be of t1em. For themselves and for the future of the United States they need to feel the meaning of Ar rstice Day feel it.
 Another eighteen years and will be just bunch of old veterans leverage age 62O The country will be in control of men and women who learned about the World War from history books. Will they be marching with on Armistice Day and feeling with about democracy? Will our fallen comrades still be honored and the things for which they gave their lives still secure for America.
 The answer to these questions be in the Sons of The American Legion marching in Armis- tce Day parades this year, and in the Junior Ameri can Legion Auxiliary members taking part in the ceremonies. It can be in Boy Scout troops, Junior Baseball teams and Boys States everywhere that we are at work teaching young Americans to be good Americans
 These youngsters of ours know what Armistice Day means. It is our job to carry so that every American youngster will have that meaning in his heart and so that no matter how many years have passed since the bursting of that Hast shell beyond the Mouse" Americans still will stand in reverence beneath the Stars and Stripes the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of November.

The late pr. Allen Johnson was the first editor ana Dr. Dumas Malone, now of the Harvard Uni VerSlty Press, completed the assignment.
