At least 75 Indiana girls with comfortable homes will not get to spend Thanksgiving in them. These are the girls who are students jf Western College for Women at Oxford, Ohio. A peculiar regulation of that institution makes Thanksgiving a school holiday and none of the students are expected to go home. On the other hand the day is celebrated with feasting and fun and the students are permitted to invite in as their guests parents or other members of their immediate family. This is an annual event at the school, for which great preparations are made and between 500 and 600 persons annually sit down to turkey and the accompaniments of such a dinner, all of which is prepared by the students themselves. Rensselaer is represented in the student body at Western College for Women by Masses Marjorie Loughridge, Marion Parker and Edith Sawin.

We have a nice, clean burning coal at $4.00 per' ton. —D. E. Grow. ®

Today’s mail brought us a postal card from Miss Nettie Jordan, of Aurora, 111., whoes wonderful work resulted in the building of the new Aurora hospital. The picture on the card is that of the hospital, a beautiful five-Story building. Miss Jordan writes: “This is a crude print of, my pet creation. Had an inspection day last Sunday with a response of nearly ten thousand visitors.” The Republican believes that the ten thousand dollars appropriated for the Jasper county hospital will fall far short of erecting and equipping a hospital commensurate with our needs' and that this amount should be augmented by subscriptions. If an energetic committee of women were chosen they could doubtless raise several thousand dollars from sources well able to give. We do not believe the county should appropriate any more at this time, but to make the building commensurate with the needs and to make it attractive that our city and county will be proud of, at least $40,000 should be spent, and we believe the board appointed some time ago by the county could do nothing better than to select a committee of women and Start them out on a campaign to raise $25,000 or $30,000. This looks big, is big, and will mean hard work, but Rensselaer has turned out a number of men who would help, who should help and whose memories would be he® kindly for all .future years if they would give liberally to the project. Then, although the work is big, we should not underestimate the work of our wonderful women. There are clubs of women here that are doing important service and there are women of rare gifts and talent who could spend the winter months in a search for money .for a hospital and have a report to make on the first of March that would be received with great joy. Let’s not build any half-suffi-cient hospital. Let us have a real one and. then be proud of what we have built.
