THE hell in which so many persons are suffering is the fact that they are going through the world WITHOUT REALIZING THEMSELVES, WITHOUT HAVING “FOUND THEIR JOB.” They have developed nothing—no significance, no personality. They have no philosophy on which to lean, not to mention a religion. This leads to DEEP ROOTED DISCONTENT, A FEVERISH DESPAIR, of which examples are not lacking in all walks of life, from the woman of leisure who rushes to the bridge table to the working girl who seeks the public fiance hall. Onlv there is more excuse for the working girl. She lives in a civilization which denies her the outlet of a natural craving—which fails to provide her with interesting and healthful amusements.- * * * ONE OF THE MOST HOPEFUL SIGNS OF THIS AGE IS THE CHANGE VtEMICH IS TAKING PLACE IN UNIVERSITY LIFE. THE ATTITUDE OF THE UNDERGRADUATE TOWARD THE SERIOUS AND VITAL PROBLEMS OF CITY, STATE AND NATION IS VERY DIFFERENT FROM WHAT IT WAS IN MY DAY. THE UNIVERSITIES, AS MIGHT BE EXPECTED, ARE IN THE FOREFRONT OF THE MOVEMENT OF WHICH I HAVE SPOKEN. IN MY STATE AS WELL AS IN OTHER STATES THEY HAVE BEEN AN INVALUABLE AID IN THE BETTERMENT OF POLITICAL CONDITIONS. EVERY DAY THEY ARE TENDING MORE AND MORE TO BECOME THE CENfERS OF TRANSFORMATION.

Save Time For Industrial Training by Omitting Nonessential Studies

AS A GENERAL RULE, IT IS THE FARMER BOY WHO IS TAKING THE HONORS AT OUR COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES. BE CAUSE ON THE FARM THE CROPS ENGAGE THE ATTENTION DURING THE SUMMER AND THE FARM CHORES ARE UNUSUALLY HEAVY ON SATURDAYS IS NO REASON WHY SCHOOLS SHOULD NOT CONTINUE ON SATURDAYS AND DURING THE SUMMER IN CITIES, TOWNS AND VILLAGES. AGAIN, TIME CAN BE SAVED FOR INDUS TRIAL TRAINING BY OMITTING FROM THE COURSE OF STUDY MUCH THAT IS NONESSENTIAL AND BY TRAINING OUR TEACHERS IN EF FICIENCY. THE TEACHING OF HABITS OF THRIFT AND INDUSTRY, AS HAS BEEN DEMONSTRATED AGAIN AND AGAIN, SO QUICKENS AND STRENGTHENS THE INTELLECT AS TO ENABLE THE LEARNER TO MAKE MUCH GREATER PROGRESS IN A GIVEN TIME. r » *► A great improvement could, be made by IXSTALUIXG AX IXDUSFIJAL PF.AX I IX L\ I*. 11A (Of XT R \ SC lIOOL, purchasing at t a twenty acre trmt near- the school, building the teacher a home upon Ur- ’r.i aryl employing the teacher the year around that he might train tli • farm boys to make repairs to machinery and demonstrate the best methods in agriculture and horticulture.

New System of Currency Will Save Us From Repetition of 1907 Panic

By LESLIE M. SHAW,

THE ONLY ELEMENT OF ELASTICITY IN THE NEW CURRENCY LAW IS THAT WHICH PERMITS THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD TO LOWER THE RESERVE REQUIREMENT, AND THAT IS NOT AUTOMATIC ELASTICITY. IT IS OFFICIAL RELIEF MADE NECESSARY BY THE WANT OF ELASTICITY. IT WILL SAVE US FROM A REPETITION OF 1907. : »s at k Whether the new sv-lem will succeed in XG OUR CREDIT SYSTEM IS PROBLEMATICAL and will depend largely on the wisdom of the hoard. In other countries when a hill of is sold on six tv or ninety days’ time the seller makes lvis draft upon the purchaser, who, after examining the goods, accepts. Then when the seller indorses this acceptance there is created a piece of paper affording the best bank asset known to man. ' * M, IF WISELY DIRECTED AND ENCOURAGED THE NEW SYSTEM SHOULD AFFORD THOSE ENGAGED IN COMMERCE—I USE THE WORD IN ITS BROADEST SENSE—FACILITIES FOR REALIZING UPON CREDDITS GROWING OUT OF COMMERCE APPROXIMATING THOSE ENJOYED BY THEIR COMPETITORS IN OTHER COUNTRIES.

SACRIFICE SEELY TO KEEP OFFICERS

Cabinet Members Fear Disruption if Marshall Quits. WAR SECRETARY MUST GO Great Brltain’3 Premier Will- Make Statement Today Giving Latest Ulster Situation—Belfast Remains Quiet.

London, March 27.—The British government s situation has become more critical. The crisis is fast approaching. LLvery indication points to the sarcriflee of Colonel Seely, secretary of state for war, to prevent Field Marshal Sir John French, chtef of the imperial general staff, and Sir John Spencer Ewart, adjutant general, from resigning from the army council. Both officials resigned. The resignations caused Premier Asquith to abandon his plan to make a further statement to parliament, and a cabinet meeting was called hurriedly. Every effort was made to induce Field Mar shal French and the adjotant general to withdraw their resignations. Both men resigned because they were joint signers with Colonel Seely to the two repudiated paragraphs of instructions to General Gough. They refused to withdraw their resignations unless Colonel Seely was removed. Fearful that the defection of its virtual head would cause the disruption of the army, Premier Asquith is believed to have decided to cast aside Colonel Seely, and it is said he again has resigned. Positive knowledge of what has happened will not be known until Premier Asquith makes a statement to parliament. French Makes Statement. At midnight Field Marshall French authorized the statement that his resignation had neither been accepted nor withdrawn. According to the best information the conference at the war office of dfl the principal commanding generals of the army was called to enable Generals French and Ewart to explain I that their resignation was a personal matter arising solely from the fact that they signed the Gough memoran- : dum which the government had since repudiated, and chey urged that all the other officers should remain at their posts. Then followed interviews with the ministers and an audience with the j king, with a view to inducing them to i reconsideV their action. But both Gen- ! oral French and General Ewart remained firm in their decision that it would be impossible for them to retain their posts while Colonel Seely remained secretary for war. They j were willing, however, to withdraw , their resignations if Colonel Seely was removed. Must Abandon Seely. Faced by this ultimatum and the I knowledge that a strong feeling against Colonel Seely existed among a large section of the radical support- | ers of the government, the prime minister seems to have arrived at the conclusion that he must abandon Colonel Seely. The difficulty in rearranging the ministry has caused the delay in Mr. Asquith’s statement. There has been talk of appointing John Burns, who is now president of the local government board, secretary for war, and a report has also been current of an exchange of portfolios between Lewis Harcourt and Colonel Seely. It is generally believed, however, ! that it will be found that Colonel Seely j has again resigned and that his resignation has been accepted; that Lewis Harcourt has been chosen to replace and that Lord fflnmett, under secretary for the colonies, will be promoted to colonial secretary. Belfast Remains Quiet In Ireland no change has occurred. Belfast remains qu*at, and, although it is asserted that the officers at the Ourragh camp are determined to resign because of the repudiation of i Colonel Seely’s by the gov- | eminent, no actual resignations, so far as is, known, have occurred. A new crisis confronted Premier Asquith when Field Marshal French, virtual head of the British army, resigned. Other leading officers of the army were also expected to hand in their papers as a direct outcome of the repudiation of the guarantee given to army officers in Ireland. Although was generally conceded that Premier Asquith had regained the upper hand in parliament, the government is by no means altogether out of trouble.
