Mankind Improving Both Morally and Physically

By Dr. WOODS HUTCHINSON

IT is now, generally admitted that the normal physical individual' is most likely to be the normal moral individual and that, therefore, society’s chief dangers lie among her abnormal members.

There are fewer of them than there used to be, although we - are uncovering more of them and shall uncover still more before we begin to uncover less. HUMANITY IS NOT DEGENERATING; IT IS IMPROVING. CHEST

ME ASUREM EN T S AND WEIGHT HAVE BEEN FOUND TO BE THE MOST SIGNIFICANT SIGNS, AND THEY INDICATE A BETTERMENT. As a matter of fact, the modern, civilized human being is the best human being from every standpoint that the world ever has known, not only mentally and morally, but physically. • PERHAPS I SHALL SEEM TO BE SAYING A STARTLING THING WHEN I DECLARE THAT ANY AVERAGE REGIMENT IN THE PRESENT EUROPEAN WAR COULD LICK TWICE ITS WEIGHT IN AVERAGE MEN FROM THE REGIMENTS OF CAESAR’S ARMIES.

Football Situation a Disgrace to American Colleges

By Dr. CHARLES A. RICHMOND,

President oi Union College

THE football .situation at most colleges is disgraceful. Fathers and mothers allow their sons to be exploited in the arena for profit, like circus performers or vaudeville actors. ACADEMIES ARE SCRAPED EOF ATHLETIC M ATE RIAL, AND 1XI) IF EMENTS OF ALL KINDS ARE OFFERED TO PROMISING \TIILETES. Tlie big eastern schools spend upward of one hundred aiid fifty thousand dollars a year on football alone. The big teams spend seven or eight days of their time away from their studies when they are out of town and vastly more time in practice and lectures on football. THE STADIUM OBSESSION IS PERFECTLY DISREPUTABLE. AT YALE, FOR INSTANCE, HALF A MILLION DOLLARS ARE INVESTED IN A STADIUM WHICH IS USED TO ITS CAPACITY AT ONLY ONE GAME IN THE YEAR. IN ORDER TO MAKE IT PAY THEY MUST KEEP UP THE PROFESSIONAL STANDARD.

Peace at Any Price Makes a Cowardly Nation

By Rev. SAMUEL SCHULMAN,

Rabbi of Temple Beth-El, New York

TIIL country’s military defenses should be efficient. There are greater evils than war. For instance, a nation’s readiness to save its skin by . surrendering avhat it holds to„ bq true and right. A PEACE AT ANY PRICE POLICY MAKES A CRAVEN AND COWARDLY NATION. Peace can be had for the asking. It will come when righteousness is established in the world. It will come as a crown to the harvest of civilization. But if peace is the exclusive motive it will tend to- degenerate. It is very hard to agr-ce with the peace at any price men, who seem to think that all that is necessary to bring about this Utopian idea is to preach peace nnd make no show of resisting evil. ON THE OTHER HAND, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO AGRIEE WITH THOSE EXTREMISTS WHO CONTEND THAT WE SHOULD EQUIP OURSELVES TO BE ABLE TO VIE WITH THE OTHER GREAT MILITARY POWERS.

Northern Indiana Body to Gather April 1, 2 and 3. WILL BE LAST CONFERENCE Resolutions Adopted at the Convention Held Last Fall Favored the . , •• . . , . , : O' Division of State Into Six or Seven Districts.

South Bend. —As a result of the expansion of educational work in Indiana it is probable that the annual meeting of the Northern Indiana Teachers’ association, to be held in South Bend April 1, 2 and 3, will be the last conference of that body. Resolutions adopted at last fall’s convention of the state association at Indianapolis favored the division of the state into six or seven districts This means that the territory embracing the Northern Indiana association will probably be divided into two or three bodies. W. A. Denny, chairman of the executive committee, has announced definite plans for the program of speaking. Rabbi Wise of New York is, certain to appear. The committee was unable to engage Col. George W. Goetlials, governor general of the Panama Canal Zone, as a speaker.

First Educational School. Winamac. - Arrangements have been made by- which Van Buren township, Pulaski county, will have a vocational agricultural school, plans for which were completed at a meeting at Star City of school officials and patrons with Z.

His contract calls for two evening classes each week for tfin weeks for men and boys more than seventeen years old, and from May 1 to September 1 he will devote-his < ntife time to the agricultural work in Van Buren township: His work through the summer will consist of practical farm demonstrations in soils, horticulture, live stock and poultry. Two-thirds of his salary Will be paid by the state. The offer is the result of the six years of work Mr. Ogle has done in tlie community and the spirit shown by the citizens.

Muncie. —Muncie is in the grip of the grip. Physicians are treating hundreds of cases, while hundreds of other victims are treating themselves. The disease, seems to be peculiarly contagious, and there are instances where the malady has run through an entire family. It is also severe, being characterized by a heavy cold, chills, fever, headache, backache and sometimes pains akin to those of rheumatism. Not all these symptoms are present in every case. The disease is severest for a period of about three days, and then begins gradually to diminish, running its course in about ten days if it is properly treated.

U.S.DEMANDS APOLOGY

W. O. JENKINS’, CONSULAR AGENT, BEATEN BY MEXICANS. Report Received by the State Department Says American Narrowly Escaped Being Executed.

Washington, Feb. 19— How W. O. Jenkins, consular agent of the United State at Puebla, Mexico, was confronted by a firing squad of Carranza troops who were about to execute him when he was saved by the timely arrival of an officer, is revealed in a long report just received by the state department. Details of the affair became known during the day, together with the fact that strong representations on the subject, as yet unanswered, were promptly made to General Carranza. The United States government not only protested against the discourteous treatment of an American consular agent but demanded the punishment of those who had threatened him. Air. Jenkins,.who has extensive property interests in Mexico, was first arrested when the Zapata forces were in control of the city. When the Carranza forces subsequently entered a sergeant and several Carranza soldiers claimed that there had been firing from his House: Later he was released, only to be rearrested, the report said, clubbed with pistols and taken to barracks, where he was stood up for execution. Just in time a Carranza officer rode by and when Jenkins protested that he was an American consular agent the officer ordered that he be taken before General Obregon. While the latter released Jenkins and apologized for the conduct of his subordinates, the state department pursued the matter with a request for the punishment of the guilty.
