Some Data About Earlham College Earlham college has been educating men and women for 75 years. It has developed from a boarding school to a standard college, accredited by the leading standardizing agencies, such as the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, the General Education Board, the North Central Association of Colleges and Sec

ondary Schools, and the departments of educa

tion of the principal states of the Union. It ranks high among the institutions of its

class in the United States. Of 32 members of the faculty, 14 have doctor's degrees which they

received by virtue of their scholastic attain ments. Other members have the master's de gree or the equivalent.

The real test of the college, however, is the quality of the men and women who have received degrees there. In this respect, Earlham holds

an enviable reputation. Its graduates are accepted without question in the technical and pro

fessional schools of the country. Many of them

have won high honors in the leading universities and some are enrolled in their faculties.

The equipment of the college is amply suffi

cient to perform the service of an educational institution for the men and women who are enrolled. Facilities for recreational and physical training are meager. To remedy this, the college is enlisting the co-operation of the residents of Richmond. The importance of an educational institution in a community . cannot be measured in dollars. Its cultural value is immense. But does it not have an unmistakable commercial value also? Many of us are unacquainted with this phase when we try to appraise the value of an educational institutions to the city.

The following statistics from the administrative offices of the college are illuminating in this respect : Attendance for 1921-22 : From Indiana, 378 ;

from 28 other states, 130; total, 508. Members)

of Friends church, 256; 20 other denominations, 252; total, 508. Cost of attendance per student, including board: Room, tuition and laundry, $450. Cost of attendance to Richmond students, including only tuition, $150. Saving to the 150 Richmond and Wayne County students who live in their own homes at $300 a student, $45,000. A careful investigation extending over three years shows that students spend in the business houses of Richmond in addition to the amount paid the college an average per student of $200. The 400 students from out of town spend $80,000. Richmond is the center of American Quakerism largely because Earlham college has been located here for 75 years. Indiana Yearly Meeting meets here annually. The Young Friends Conference meets here annually, attended by delegates from all over the United States. These bring to Richmond annually more than 1,000 people who spend 10 days. One thousand delegates attending gatherings in Richmond held here because of Earlham college being located here spending on an average

of $15. $15,000. j

Six hundred delegates , to the Five lears Meeting spending an average $15. $9,000. Richmond is advertised widely and favorably by Earlham college. Five times as many Richmond young people secure a college education as in a city of equal size in which there is no college. How many families live in Richmond because Earlham college located here? It is not possible to determine. For every 100 families there would be an expenditure of $2,000 per family $200,000.

There's at Least One in Every Office

The establishment of adequate means for the physical training of the students will satisfy a long felt want. The movement deserves the support of our citizens. The institution has amply justified its right of existence. If we can halo develop a department to the point of giving adequate service, we will be showing our good will and appreciation of what the college means to the cityv

TODAY'S TALK

By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can,"

EXPRESSION Expression is the noblest achievement in life. To let the world know who and what you are in all the sincerity and genuineness that you have this alone is fine achievement. But merely to leaf and bud, as the flower, and then wither without giving away beauty or fragrance, this is tragedy. And this is what casts shadows across the world to cloud its blue sky. It is better, by far, to express yourself honestly and be misunderstood than not to express yourself at all. Only those who dare and do live on. You who inspire others must of necessity live an inspiring life, wrapped in an experience of beauty knowing sorrow aswell as happiness. I have great sympathy for the caged heart with a pulsating soul within it longing for the freedom of contact, interchange and peace. For only as we find our own are we able to rest, relax and grow. The wild flower fascinates me. I sit down in the mesh of dead leaves and .rich soil to talk -with a friend so rare. It is a little Bluebell. Its tiny body and royal dress stand out so free and glad. And whether the visitor ever comes or not, it minds not. Content is it to breathe out its beauty fully and then to join its own friends of other summers, and with its withered ashes to give nourishment to Bluebells yet unborn. Expression isn't necessary out .in the big crowd or where many may look on perhaps in criticism but best where the heart may rise and fall in feeling, and just be happy. One of the reasons for the deathlessness of poets is that they live by expression. Dreams woven into deeds and made golden along threaded words. It was Carlyle who once wrote that "a true poet, a man in whose heart resides some effluence of wisdom, some tone of the 'eternal melodies,' is the most precious gift that can be bestowed on a generation." Only the gifted few may be poets in expression. But all of us may be poets in feeling and appreciation. Just keep the windows of your heart house open and the door flown wide so that you may see and walk out into the great outside world, and daily invite it to "come in!"

Experts Study Coal Storage By FREDERIC 4. HASKIN

'After Dinner Tricks

"WASHINGTON, Aug. 4. The protracted coal strike has set experts of the federal government to studying anew the problem of the storage of coal on a large scale. Aside from the expense of extra handling and equipment, there are two major reasons why coal can not be stored successfully. The first is that when exposed to the air, coal gradually loses its combustibility- that is, its burning and heating qualities. The ages produce coal by crushing decayed vegetable matter under great weight and pressure in the depths of the earth, far from atmosphere. When coal is brought to the surface and exposed to the air, nature starts to undo the process and take the elements of combustion away. The second is that, through some chemical or physical action of the air upon coal which has been taken from tH mine, the product generates heat of its own and spontaneous combustion results. This is one of the mysterious forces of nature which has baffled many scientists and engineers. Without the application of any external heat or iuflamatory matter, a pile of coal sometimes will ignite itself and burn with dangerous intenThis phenomenon is encountered most frequently at sea. Steamers must store large supplies of coal in their bunkers. The frequent result

has asked the miPKtJnn-

keep the mines running and store the

coal in piles? The foregoing are the good and sufficient reasons.

These obstacles to coal storage

mean that coal can not be mined until there is a quick market for it. The demand for domestic coal for heating and cooking is fairly steady and can be reckoned upon, so it is possible for mines to keep fairly steady supply of coal moving to retail dealers. But for the great industrial consumers the task is more difficult. Factories have boom periods and slack periods. Their demands for coal vary. The result is that the coal to fill a large order for a mill or a public utility is not taken out of the ground until the coal com

pany nas obtained the order. In boom times when factories are running full blast, the orders come in fast. Then follow feverish efforts to get the coal out. But here another factor enters. It is no use to bring the coal up above ground unless cars are available to take it away. With everybody demanding coal at once, the railroads can not supply cars rapidly enough to take care of all demands. All these circumstances point to the desirability of devising a plan for the storage of coal.

A spanked flapper is a very dismal piece of work, but we doubt if the spanking does any good. There is an old saying that hell holds no fury like a woman scorjied. Certainly it holds no fury like a woman spanked. Spanking will do no good and we doubt if anything will do any good. It looks as though nothing can curb this great flapper evil and the world is going straight to the devil. The trouble is that the wrong people are being spanked. The way to stop the thing, if there is a way, is to spank the parents who let these flappers flap around nights.

out the state has established a system of subaqueous storage. It has been learned that coal can be stored under water. This keeps the air from working its deleterious effects on the coal and also prevents spontaneous combustion. It is a curious fact, however, that a small quantity of water .will not prevent, but stimulates spontaneous combustion. Merely to moisten coal

or have it half covered will set It afire. Many of the bunker fires on ships arise from leaks. To afford proper and safe subaqueous storage, the coal must be wholly submerged. The reason this ha3 not been resorted to more generally is that such a plant is expensive. The Illinois Traction bins are vast concrete lined ba

sins. The handling of the coal is multiplied because it must be mined, hauled to the storage bins, dumped in, flooded. Then when coal from the bins is needed, the water must be par. tially drained off, the coal hoisted tnd transported again to the point of consumption. However, in some cases, the cost of storage is regarded as well spent' in that it provides insurance against suspension due to shortage of production, strikes or interference with distribution. Recent investigations by the bureau of mines reveal that the dangers of spontaneous combustion are not 60 great as they have been considered in the past. The most recent study, made by O. P. Hood, chief mechanical engineer of the bureau, shows that the combustion is caused by the surface heating of the coal. The contact between the oxygen in the air and the inflammable elements in the coal causa the heating which increases to the point of combustion. Mr. Hood noints out that the surface presented

by a ton of coal is tremendous. Each lump presents a surface and so does each powdered grain. The normal coal pile is not so tightly packed as to prevent the passage of the oxygenbearing air through interstices to practically every particle of coal. One Surface Acre Per Ton.

commercial proposition now, for the purpose of making it easier to handle. Compression on a larger scale and into larger blocks is suggested to prevent deterioration due to exposure to the air and to prevent spontaneous combustion. Fine coal or coal dust can be compressed so that a ton can be put in the form of a block a little less than a cubic yard in size. Further, Mr. Hood's investigations

show, the air around stored coal influences combustion. Coal stored in a hot place will deteroriate and ignite more quickly than coal stored In a cool place. This suggests the possibility of the cold storage of coal. Mr. Hood also has found that foreign matter in coal, such as sulphur, will hasten its spontaneous ignition. By screening and careful cleaning of coal intended to be stored, this could he eliminated. His investigations accordingly, have convinced him that proper methods and care can make the storage of coal on a large scale, a feasible enterprise. Figures prepared by the geological survey show that the United States owns in the public domain more than 100,000,000,000 tons of unmined coal. It has been suggested that the government proceed to the mining of this coal and placing it in scientific storage for use in meeting shortages and emergencies in the privately owned coal industry.
