COLLEGE FAILURES ARE DUE TO SMOKING President Mackintosh of Wabash College Defends Student Morality.

CRAWFOKDSVJLL.E, InU., Nov. 17. President Mackintosh, of Wabash college, agree substantially with President Francis .1. McConnell of DoPauw university, in his views expressed in defense of the morality of college students in his recent address

delivered at Indianapolis before the Indiana State Association of City and Town Superintendents of Schools. With regard to smoking and drinking, regarded as the two greatest evils which block the straight and narrow path of college students. Dr. Mackintosh says: "It Is undented that lhere is a great deal less drinking in our college than there was twenty years ago. Smoking has probably not Increased in the laBt ten years. Nevertheless there is far too much of It. Probably all the failures in the classroom are due to the habitual use of tobacco more than to any one source. Unquestionably the use of tobacco conduces to the lounging and easy-going spirit." Dr. Mackintosh says that there is ito truth whatever in the contention of Mr. Crane, of Chicago, in his pamphlet issued recently, that college students are more likely to be diss, pated than other young men. "The fact is that the very opposite Is true," ays Dr. Mackintosh.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. Education is not merely going to school. Anybody can say that. But its true. Education raise! to its highest power is, in a general sense, a perfected cosmopolitanism. In this is included a taste for and a certain knowledge of the basic principles of the various phases of art. No culture is complete that does not recognize its own catholicity. No edu

cation is accomplished that does not face toward every point of the intellectual compass. You may hear a person with a choice assortment of college degrees, saying "Oh, I care nothing for art." "Poetry does not interest me." "I do not understand music." "I never go to the theater." "Newspapers? I never read 'em oh.

glance over the headlines. But they're too sensational nothing but murders and scandals and divorces." To reply In the vernacular in the latter instance "is that so!" The truth is that the reason people see nothing in the papers but the "sensations" is because they look for nothing else. Watch them pick up the paper and flip it over. After scanning the headlines to see if there is anything that will hold their ennuied attention,

glancing at the society column, languidly running over the markets and settling down to the sporting page for more or close perusal do they turn to the editorial, to the accounts of the world's happenings, to the bits ot biographical detail of the great and near-great, to the musical and art criticisms, to the resumes of history? Not that you could notice it, to again lapse into the colloquial. That it, the average. There are, naturally, the exceptions, who are that steady clientele, which enables newspapers to present daily to their various publics, tabloid culture, if it might so be put. The reading of a good metropolitan newspaper should be part of the daily routine of each day. "It takes time," you say. "Well take the time," ,says the next person. Everything, as has been said before, when reduced to its last analysis, is found to be based on habit. Living is a mere habit. You can stop it any time you want to. There is a cult that says, "Thou shalt not commit suicide." But suicide is preferable to shame or misery or starvation, or eternal physical pain or incessant mental torture. It is said that it is only the coward who will deliberately bring about his own death. This is sometimes true. It is also sometimes not true. Nothing is absolute only relative. Oftener than not it is superlative bravery. Frequently exalted heroism. Or it may be an act dictated by a diseased

or abnormal mental condition. There is a certain beautiful poem by Paul Dunbar a great lyric poet, one of the greatest among the moderns of

The practical newspaper men, however, do not and have not scorned the school of journalism as a valuable preparation for the genuine thing is evidenced by the will of the late Joseph Pulitzer, the owner of the New York World, who left a million dollars to endow that at Columbia university.
