SUMMER SCHOOL 1932  
Diplomas a Result of Whittling  
By Dr. Everett Dick  
Director of the Summer Session  
A half century ago the great national pastime was whit- 
tling. Men sat around the stove in the country in solemn  
conclave, discussing the problems of the day like Roman  
senators in the forum of old—and whittled. Many clever little  
trinkets, objects of art, were carved from pieces of wood.  
Log chains were made from match sticks, and many other  
clever things were whittled out. Whole boards were whittled  
away.  
Today there is still opportunity to whittle. In the few  
weeks of summer many teachers have been whittling away.  
Some by using this method have carved out a degree this  
summer. others have departed to their homes with work un- 
finished but with plans to complete the task next summer.  
A pleasant Sabbath school and young people's meetings were  
conducted. A new feature of this year's work was the glee  
club with its recitals. In all our summer family numbered  
about one hundred, since a number were on the campus work- 
ing during the vacation months. The few weeks we were  
together proved very happy ones. With this small group,  
opportunities for friendship and good fellowship are at their  
best and it may well be said that Union College teachers,  
students, and employees form one large family. This is partic- 
ularly true in the summer.  
If you have requirements that must be met come join us  
and whittle them away in an inviting atmosphere on a beauti- 
ful campus in association with teachers and friends who are  
interested in your  success  at the Union College summer  ses- 
sion next summer.  
World Events as the Editor Sees Them  
BEES ARE PRACTICAL  
Give Summer School Class A "Swell"  
Feeling As They Study Them  
BY ALTEN BRINGLE  
Union College is "going practical," and  
this time by offering the course "How  
to Succeed with Bees." The subject not  
only being practical is also very demo- 
cratic,—the bees being no respectors of  
instructor or students. To say the least  
it has given us a very "swell" feeling, and  
that does not necesarily mean proud.  
Wendell Wolfe is so much enthused  
over the possibilities offered in the field  
of bee culture that he is contemplating  
establishing an apiary somewhere in Ten- 
nessee.  
Clyde Bushnell emphatically declares  
that the course has been a life saver  
for him this summer.  
Lilah Beth Hopps is disappointed, as  
she has not as yet experienced the sensa- 
tion of having a bee sting her.  
Our ideal is embodied in our instructor,  
Dr. Dick. His utter calmness and the way  
he ignores the bees when they come sing- 
ing around his head is the goal for each  
student to attain.  
Our time has been spent in study, short  
tests, projects with the bees, learning to  
make frames, sections, becoming familiar  
with beekeeper terms, and tools. Becoming  
familiar with the beekeepers' vocabulary  
has made us confident that we can now  
at least talk with intelligence on the sub- 
ject of bee culture.  
This course is one that is being offered  
next year in the two-year self-supporting  
missionary course.  
OPPORTUNITY AND UNION  
In a  few  weeks school will again  
be ushered in. It seems the whole  
world within the last fw weeks  
has begun to smile again. Depres- 
sion and Pessimism is already a  
passing cloud. Prospects already  
look bright for the coming year.    
Many changes have been made and  
added for the purpose of enriching  
those who desire thorough educa-
tion. Come and add your enthusi- 
asm  and  support to Union's offered  
opportunities when her doors open  
September 12.  

SPIRIT OF UNION  
STILL LINGERS  
Familiar Scenes About Campus  
Are Missing As Few Remain-  
ing Students Work  
HALLS ECHO SILENCE  
Same Old Clock Tells Mournfully in  
Same Old Tone at the Same Old  
Speed Every Day  
FROM THE ENGLISH ROOM  
It's lonesome at our house. They're  
almost all gone, and Union's halls are  
empty.  
The Nebraska wind, fresh from Kansas,  
makes a continuous whisper in the trees  
lining the back of the campus.  
We don't see Lowell Welch coming  
up the back drive to visit the thermometer  
on the pole, and the. power house, nor  
Barky taking a dinner tray down to  
the engine room. Many of the familiar  
little brisk walkers, in green and white,  
coming from the laundry are missing.  
Somebody doesn't whistle any more.  
Below somewhere outdoors two or three  
masculine voices tease each other; shovels  
pick the earth monotonously; a motorcycle  
sputters into life and rattles off.  
A lone woodpecker chirks once or  
twice, a robin sings briefly, three quarrel- 
some sparrows chatter, a pigeon coos  
softly, a lonesome black pooch trots aim- 
lessly up the cinder road.  
No unearthly smells drift up from the  
lower regions. Not even the rats yet  
sneak over head. No piano patiently re- 
peats Mendelssohn's concerto. No type- 
writer clicks professionally.  
No rude class bell screams in our ears  
terrifying us suddenly. The familiar foot- 
steps that go up the hall at certain times  
of the day are not heard. Not a voice  
is in the hall.  
At such a time Mother Union bows  
her head and sighs. For a moment she  
feels heavy and aching yet full of nothing- 
ness. She thinks of her sons and daughters  
over the world, and hurts remembering  
that some have wandered away or have  
been suddenly snuffed cut one leis lit- 
tle candle. For a long time she is silent  
and dull and dubious as to the worth- 
whileness of it all.  
But then the June sun suddenly smiles  
dazzlingly as the Nebraska wind fresh  
from Kansas scoots an Iowa cloud out

Lectures on Music Held Interest For  
Union's Future Teachers  
The periods devoted to the chapel hours  
during the summer-school session have  
been very helpful in presenting useful  
facts for use to teachers in their teaching.  
The outstanding features were a series of  
lectures on music by Professor Stanley  
Ledington, of the college music depart- 
ment. He assimilated the differences of 
the three types of music, also the train- 
ing of the voice, stressing that the voice  
of the grade-school pupil is at its most  
dangerous stage at that period and that  
caution should be made not to strain the  
voice. One of the enjoyable features was  
a period devoted to song selections by  
Mrs. Ledington.  
On one of the occasions President An- 
dreasen spoke. He gave a lesson what  
he concluded a "balanced message. -   He  
presented the question, "What would the  
world be without religion?" Adding, he  
said,  - God is not necessary any more  
to the mind of the world. Educators  
are depending on science. There is no  
restraint to knowledge today. It is very  
dangerous and destroys society. -   Continu- 
ing, he stated, "Men that are not relig-
ionists see conditions social, political, and  
moral, and realize that something is  
wrong. -   In conclusion he said, "There  
is no substitute to replace religion. When  
religion loses power all is lost. God has  
set us with a definite mesage to teach  
men. The message is in the command-
ments and faith in Jesus. With this ac- 
quired, a balanced message will be the  
result."  
Other speakers during the chapel peri- 
ods were Professors Hanhardt, Hilts,  
House, Habenicht, Miss Rees, Mr. Marsh,  
educational secretary of the Central Union  
conference, and Dr. Dick, who presided  
over the summer school.  
SABBATH SCHOOL  
HELD DURING TERM  
Enthusiasm and Full Attendance  
Are Outstanding Features  
In Meetings  
BY ESTHER MILLER  
Union College held her own Sabbath  
school during the summer-school term.  
If popular opinion may be taken for  
positive proof as to whether an enterprise  
is liked or not, there can be no doubt  
but that this venture was again a success,  
at least it was liked very much by those  
who did not happen to be asked to do  
something on the program.  
Although there were fewer in attend- 
ance than the Sabbath school held during  
the winter term had, the enthusiasm and  
and interest shown by those present could  
not be said to be any Jess. The programs  
were varied in nature, and interesting.  
Had you been present the Sabbath Miss  
Culpepper gave the missions talk, as- 
sisted by Mrs. Sofsky who illustrated  
it by a sketch, you would probably have  
listened and watched just as closely as  
those present did.  
The officers chosen for the summer  
were: Jennie Taylor and Carl Specht,  
superintendents; Esther Miller and Clyde  
Bushnell, secretaries; Ada Townsend, pi- 
anist; Alten Bringle, chorister; Ruth John- 
son, organist.  
The membership averaged about eighty,  
with an attendance of approximately one  
hundred each Sabbath.  
If you have never had the opportunity  
of attending a Sabbath school at Old  
Union, why not plan to be present the  
first Sabbath of 1932-33 and see for your- 
self just how interesting it really is.  
Dr. Dick claims that if you let bees  
sting you long enough (and hard enough)  
in time, you will not feel their effects.  
Question? Perhaps the Time is on the  
installment plan.

OFFICE BEING CONSTRUCTED  
The room above the entrance to the  
college building which has been used for  
the Clock Tower  office during the past  
three years is being rebuilt into an of- 
fice for Dean Johnson. Construction and  
painting is now in progress and the room  
will be ready for use soon. The  Clock  
Tower  office is to be moved to fourth  
floor.

APARTMENTS BEING BUILT  
Two apartments are being built in  
the normal building on the north second  
story wing of the building, which are  
to provide living quarters for two fnem- 
hers of the college faculty. Construction  
is almost finished and they will be ready  
for occupation by the opening of school  
this fall.  

The situation in the world political,  
economical, :::rd social 1:ori7.or:  
scope of recent months has been one of  
rapid developments. It has been a busy  
summer with many unforeseen incidents  
and unexpected conclusions. At this writ- 
ing optimism  is  spreading throughout the  
world. Factories and other industrial en- 
terprises are giving employment to thous- 
ands. Stock markets are rising, wheat,  
corn, and other farm commodities are on  
the upward trend. At the same time, how- 
ever, a sweep of communism is spreading  
boldly throughout the world. In the  
United States the communists have dis- 
played their banners more than usual,  
even to the very dorsteps of the Capitol.  
In Germany they have caused much con- 
cern with their clashes and near rioting  
with their deadly enemies the Nazis. Other  
egions have felt their thrusts also, es- 
pecially Chile, in South America, and the  
Near East, particularly Manchuria.  
Probably the most colorful focus of in- 
terest were the two party conventions at  
Chicago in June. It seems that the Demo- 
cratic party was the most spectacular of  
the two. The Republican party ratified  
the candidacy of Herbert Hoover upon  
the basis of his own past record. Frank- 
lin Roosevelt, the "liberal" to lead a drive  
designed to recover economic liberty and  
to also gain control of the National Gov- 
ernment at Washington. It appears the  
Republican party ended in confident smug- 
ness, the Democrats with exultation over  
prospects for the fall elections. The big  
issue before both parties was that of pro- 
hibition. The Republicans proposed re- 
submission through a constitutional  
amendment so framed as "to preserve  
the gains already made in dealing with  
the evils inherent in the liquor traffic"  
and to retain Federal control over the  
whole question; the Democrats went in  
solidly for repeal of the eighteenth amend- 
ment, pending such repeal for modifica- 
tion.  
The Lausanne conference, or erstwhile  
reparations conference, ended July 8 un- 
der a blaze of conditional glory. The  
Young Plan is replaced by an obligation  
involving $714,000,000. Briefly, Germany  
agrees in the final settlement to deliver  
to the world bank five per cent redeem- 
able bonds to the amount of the above  
sum. These bonds are not to be negotiat- 
ed for at least three years. If not ne- 
gotiated within fifteen years they are to  
be canceled. The treaty will have no ef- 
fect until the various governments ratify  
it.  
The disarmament conference at Geneva  
has indications of ending in a complete  
failure. From April 22 to June 10 debating  
was carried on as to whether certain  
weapons are defensive in character and  
consequently may be retained, or are pri- 
marily offensive and should be abolished.  
Each delegation defended vigorously the  
weapons suited to the needs of its own   

country, and there was no agreement,  
pt that gz..,  	 ,;-.0 -  
fare must go. Then President Hoover  
gave new life by announcing a plan for  
a reduction by one-third of the armament  
burden of the world, total abolition of  
tanks, bombing planes, mobile guns, and  
chemical warfare. July 7 Great Britain  
made a proposal similar in construction.  
France, Japan, and Germany frankly did  
not like it. The conference has recessed  
for six months.  
The British imperial economic confer- 
ence which is now being held at Ottawa,  
Canada, in collaboration with her com- 
monwealth of nations meets for the pur- 
pose of accelerating the flow of intra- 
empire trade and bringing about a closer 
economic union. Three problems are being  
grappled with: the faciliatation of ex- 
change of products within the British com- 
monwealth of nations, meets for the pur- 
preferential tariffs; the adoption of an  
empire currency; and the simplification of  
customs administration. To date much  
proposing and counter-proposing contin- 
ues with stubborn resistence of Ireland  
and Australia. Much concern is felt in  
the United States as to the outcome and 
the effect it will have on foreign trade.  
Germany with her varied political fac- 
tions, demonstrations, and riots galore  
reached such a disgraceful stage that  
President von Hindenburg issued an emer- 
gency decree declaring martial law in Ber- 
lin and set up a federal dictatorship over  
the entire state of Prussia. Chancellor von  
Papen was made commissioner over the  
state. He immediately proceeded to oust  
the Prussian cabinet, causing great stir.  
Prussia's request for an injunction re- 
straining von Papen's action was refused  
by the German supreme courts. Up to  
date much rioting and tensity exists be- 
tween communists and Hitler's Nazis.  
Troubled waters in various South  
American republics has reached serious  
stages. The state of Sao Paulo in Brazil  
has been surrounded by federal troops  
while revolutionists are trying to make  
armistice negotiations with the President  
of Brazil. Continual unrest still reigns  
in Chile. Bolivia and Paraguay are at  
swords' points over the territory dispute  
of the Chaco region, a dispute of sixty  
years' standing. War fever is at high  
pitch in both countries as troops are be- 
ing assembled. Both countries have de- 
clined arbitration by invitation of the  
United States.  
On July 6, Turkey joined the League  
of Nations, through its National Assem- 
bly. There are now only two countries— 
the United States and Soviet Russia— 
who do not belong.  
By means of a sudden revolution on  
June 26, accomplished without loss of life,  
Siam has slipped into the category of  
constitutional monarchies after a history  
of absolute monarchism.

STUDENTS TAKE  
EXCURSION TRIPS  
Two Tours Taken Prove To Be  
Educational in Many  
Ways  
First Time in History of  Union College  
That Jaunts Are Sponsored by  
College For All Students  
By S. ADELINE SKADSHEIM  
The two field trips taken by the  stu- 
dents  of the summer-school session were  
educational and enjoyable.  
The first afternoon was spent in view- 
ing the relics in the state university  
museum. Objects of special interest were  
an elephant shot by a Nebraska man,  
and the mountings of nearly four hun- 
dred Nebraska birds.  
Some time was spent in the historical  
building seeing the results of archeological  
excavations in Nebraska especially. It is 
interesting to reflect that even now the  
students are walking on ground in which  
is inbedded historical remains.  
Several faculty members donated their  
time and automobiles for the second field  
tour, which included the penitentiary, the  
Star  newspaper offices, and Gooch's flour  
mill.  
It was a peculiar sensation to be locked  
behind four massive steel doors in the  
penitentiary and to  see  the electric chair.  
The group saw the industries, the cells,  
the beautiful paintings made by an in-  
mate, and the commodious new chapel. A  
feeling of relief, however, was  experi- 
enced,  when  outside  the walls again could  
be read the inscription, "Obedience to the  
law is true liberty."  
The speed and efficiency of modern  
newspapers was the impression received  
at the  Star  office. Several of the group  
brought back as souvenirs the  mats  from  
which impressions are made on the type.  
Many interesting facts were observed  
as the students watched the different  
processes in the manufacturing of all  
grades of flour, pancake flour, and macar-  
oni in Gooch's mill. The mill has a capac-  :„.  	 -I.  	 owu..-aau  	 '  
daily. A ton of pancake flour cad be  
mixed at one time. The mathematical 
minds of the group attempted to estimate  
how many pancakes that would represent.  
Everyone felt that the excursions were  
profitable and enjoyable.  
WASHERS KEEP BUSY  
Laundry Workers Take Time Out to  
Send Greetings to Outside World  
BY VERNON DUNN  
I wish I knew  where  the writers of all  
these interesting articles get their inspira-
tion and their vocabularies. If I knew, I  
would surely go there, too, and then per- 
haps I'd have something really interesting  
to tell all you Unionites out over our  ter- 
ritory.  But as it is, I will just have to  
be prosaic and practical, and maybe un- 
interesting, and tell you a bit about our  
laundry this summer.  
Business is fair. Of course, it's not like  
it is during the winter when every one is  
here. The first two weeks after school  
closed were so very different some of the  
girls thought they never would get used  
to the change. But about that time the  
new students came in for summer school  
and relieved the strangeness to a certain  
extent, and then the letters began to drift 
in, and they helped too. And now  we've  
established ourselves in the regular sum- 
mer's routine, and enjoy it, heat and all!  
Perhaps you would like to know who  
is working for us. Well, there is Ivan  
Sutton; he is taking some work In the  
summer school besides his regular work in  
the laundry, and all in all he is as full  
of business and as much In a rush as ever.  
He took a three-hour examination the other  
day right when we were our very busiest,  
and even he admitted that he would much  
rather have been working in the laundry  
than trying to tell all he knew about  
zoology in so short a time.  
Annabell Rumpf and Mildred Priest are

UNION'S STRENGTH STANDS  
Do you know that Union college  
was one out of two colleges in the  
State of Nebraska that was able to  
pay her teaching staff this year? We  
should feel proud to be connected  
with a school whose strength Is  
not as a "house built upon the  
sand." It seems that God has a pur- 
pose for the students of Union. Are  
we going to fail that purpose by  
not attending old Union, to  give  her  
our support  so that she may carry  
on?  

Chapel Talks Proved Helpful I  
SUMMER STUDENTS  
PICNIC ON CAMPUS  
Girls Obtain Their  F,xer(isp in  
Capacity of Spectators at  
Boys' Ball Gams  
By JENNIE TAYLOR  
July 4 is certainly an inspirational sub- 
ject, but there have been so many of  
them that have come and died that my  
inspiration seems to wane as quickly as  
it appeared. Even the Union College  
summer school did not celebrate as a  
body July 4, 1932, but left it open for  
each student or groups of students to seek  
individual pleasure.  
At 4 p. m. Sunday, July 10, a  - round- 
up" for an indoor baseball game appeared  
on the shady campus in front of the col- 
lege building. A few spasmodic games  
of keep-away or dodge-ball were played  
by groups of ambitious girls, but for the  
most part the girls had to be audience  
for the boys' ball game to keep them go- 
ing well.  
At six o'clock a slight interrogation  
of "When do we eat?" caused some dis- 
turbance in the game which was soon  
forgotten in the excitement of a home run.  
Thirty minutes later, however, great ket- 
tles of baked beans, potato salad, deviled  
eggs, and sandwiches began to attract  
much attention near South hall. Ice cold  
watamillions, were at the disposal of all 
who cared to indulge. No one seemed  
to decline.  
The Sabbath school picnickers having  
been "run in" by a rain storm of the  
4th, gathered on the South hall campus  
at 7:30 to have the program they had  
planned. With great satisfaction the sum- 
mer-school students and faculty sat back  
with overloaded stomachs and over- 
crammed brains to enjoy the highly en- 
tertaining program of the Sabbath school  
picnickers.

NEW INDUSTRY ESTABLISHED  
The basement quarters of North hall,  
formerly used by the pecan industry, are  
being made into a bookbindery. This is  
a new industry for Union College and  
will offer another channel for student  
employment. Equipment is being installed,  
and necessary construction is being ra-

PIPER CONDUCTING TOUR  
Pastor J. F. Piper, president of the  
Central Union conference is conducting a  
lecture campaign organizing a movement  
to fight the wet movement on the pro- 
hibition issue. He is trying to organize  
ministers and workers to co-operate in  
spreading the dry movement. He will at- 
tend camp meetings in the Central union 
that are yet to hold their meetings.  

Ceremony Is Solemnized  
Esther House Married to Ben Dupper,  
A Former Union Graduate  
The marriage of Miss Esther House,  
daughter of Professor B. L. House, of  
College View, to Ben Dupper, of LaSalle,  
Colorado, was solemnized at the home  
of the bride, Sunday evening at 8:30  
o'clock.  
The background for the ceremony,  
which was read by the bride's father, 
was formed by a screen of ferns and  
gladiolas, against a white lattice fence.  
Miss Esther Nelson sang  - Because -   pre- 
ceding the entrance of the bridal party.  
Richard Gibson played Mendelssohn's  
Wedding March as the party entered.  
Following this Miss Doris Kirstein sang  
"The Dawn Brought Me Love and You."  
The bride wore white satin trimmed  
with lace, and a veil that fell to the  
floor. Miss Doris Kruse, who served as  
bridesmaid, wore a dress of blue and car- 
ried a corsage of pink and white asters.  
Carl Specht attended Mr. Dupper. Fol- 
lowing the ceremony there was a lawn  
reception.  
Mr. Dupper is a graduate of Union  
College from the class of '29. Mr. and  
Mrs. Dupper will make their home at  
LaSalle, Colorado.  
MILLER-HASSENFLUG  
On the evening of August 1, Miss  
Lucille Miller. of College View, was mar- 
ried to Ben Hassenfiug, of Valley View,  
Texas, at the home of the bride's parents.  
Simple ceremonies were performed. Mr.  
and Mrs. Hassenfiug left imediately for  
Fort Worth, Texas, where the bridegroom  
is to help conduct tent effort meetings.  
After September they will make their  
home at Texarkana, Arkansas, where they  
will teach. Both are graduates of Union  
from the class of '32.

By  RUFUS BAKER  
To one who has ever gone to sum- 
mer school, the hot days of middle July  
have not gone by unnoticed. It was one  
of those hot days while I was sitting  
in the library poring over a regular  
summer-school assignment that I had to  
make use of my bandana. I believe I  
soaked that handkerchief thoroughly.  
At such a moment as this the natural  
thought arises, "Why all the laborious  
effort just to be a teacher? Have I not  
gone over all the work covered by the 
grade student myself? I know all about  
everything."  
Now do we know about "everything"?  
I have only begun the study in educa- 
tional courses and already I value them.  
I think, "Is that what training and edu- 
cation should be and mean to the school 
child?"'  
When I learn, as I have studied, that  
school time and work and play in school 
should be considered as actual living,  
present moment living, it is evident that  
more than mere rehearsal of facts should  
comprise school life for the child. How  
much more, I realize, would I have ap- 
preciated school and got out of school if  
my supervisors had made school  life  and  
not a mere storehouse or grainery for the  
future. The how and  why  is just as es- 
sential as  the what.  
It is the development of and working  
out of the how's and why's that we pur- 
sue such courses as primary methods,  
grammar grade methods, secondary meth- 
ods, and other subjects that are outlined  
for our preparation.  
We as teachers are guides helping the  
ones under our direction to live now,  
and help others to live. We cannot be of  
help to others only so far as we have 
had knowledge and understanding with  
experience ourselves. Although it may  
seem hard at the moment of effort, we  
are more than repaid by being able to  
impart to others.  
After many hours in anxiety trying to  
discover the trouble with a steam engine  
in a plant, the foreman summoned an  
expert. In fifteen minutes the whole plant  
was in motion again.  
"What are the charges?" asked the  
foreman.  
"Fifty dollars and fifty cents," replied  
the expert.  
"I don't mind paying the bill, but why  
and for what is the fifty cents?"  
"Fifty cents for labor and fifty dollars  
for knowing how," answered the expert.  
Knowing how is three-fourths of the  
equipment of a good teacher. It behooves  
each teacher to be "equipped" before  
starting his or her work.

Knowing How is  
Teachers' Asset  
By  MRS.  E.  WENDELL WOLFE  
The mind has a thousand eyes—so  
they say. Maybe when I've reached a  
riper and more mature age, I'll have the  
opportunity to prove, or disprove, theories  
of this nature. Let that be as it may,  
however. The point is this: what is there  
at Union to give stimulation to the thou- 
sand eyes in question?  
On the surface, there seems to be quite  
a colorful panorama. From the time the  
first rainbow tints of morning appear un- 
til the day dies in the West, there is con-
tinual activity on and around the college  
campus. No monotony at Union to bore  
this multitude of eyes!  
There is usually a quite steady stream  
of personalities drifting hither and thither  
—enough to give 'zest to the most epi- 
curean fancy. Considering the fact that  
we all have our individual likes and dis- 
likes and our own personal tastes, there  
is, of necessity, a variety of types, or, I  
should say, a variety of individuals: there  
are the tall and the short, the slender and  
the plump; blondes, brunettes and in-be- 
tweens. And although each personality  
is strikingly different (carbon copy per- 
sonalities seem to be out!) there are  
many qualities common to all.  
Union has the cream of the land within  
her walls. Those who come to her are  
those who are climbing higher on the  
ladder of intellectual attainment and who  
are imbibing knowledge that will prepare  
them for the greater school beyond. Each  
student is being prepared for a life of  
triple service: service for God, for others,  
and for his own greatest happiness.  
The impression I received upon com- 
ing to Union was that her children were  
those of high ideals, of noble purposes,  
of sterling integrity, and of true culture.  
There are a number of callings repre- 
sented among the Unionites. So many  
fields of study and lines of thought are  
open to the students that one may select  
those which most appeal to him and for  
which he is best fitted. Teaching seems to  
take the lead among the lines of endeavor  
and, as we see the moulders of tiny bits  
of humanity receiving the instructions that  
will enable them to go forth to this noble  
work, we realize that  - in the teacher  
sent from God, all true educational work  
finds its center::  
I was impressed, too, with the seeking  
of harmonious development among the  
students at Union. There is opportunity  
for constant growth in a physical, spir- 
itual, and mental way. The high stand- 
ard of the school, the religious activities,  
the social ideals, the facilities for physi- 
cal exercises are silent witnesses of this  
fact.  
Is there need to enlarge upon the splen- 
dors and graces of Union College? Let  
me say, as did the disciples in regard to  
the merits of Jesus: come  and see.  
A Teacher Builds  
Characters from  
Hearts and Minds  
By  PALMER I.I. SCHMIDT  
Teaching is a calling that deals with  
human nature. Next to the parents the  
teacher has the greatest influence on the  
life of a child. The potter takes the clay  
which is crude, simple, easily molded and  
shaped to a certain form and with untiring  
effort makes beautiful vessels whose use 
is of great value to humanity.  
So it is with the mind and life of a  
child. The teacher is the potter who with 
constant care and skill must train and  
direct the plastic mind of the pupil. The  
teacher, then, to a great extent is re- 
sponsible for the minds he is directing  
and guiding. Children are not bad but it  
is a privilege to keep them from develop- 
ing bad habits and to teach them right  
way.  
The child will not always be under his  
parents' or teachers' care. The teacher  
must give to his pupils his best and great- 
est. "The future of the race marches for- 
ward on the feet of children." Upon these  
must rest weighty responsibilities in the  
future. The child of today will be the  
ruler of tomorrow. "The parents and  
teachers are representatives of God. The  
developing of homiest citizens is more im- 
portant than teaching subject-matter."  
Teaching is hard work. It uses up the  
vitality of even the strongest. But in  
what lies the happiness of an individual?  
Is it in idling and squandering his time?  
Is it in useless talk and gossip? Is it in  
watching others and seeing how well they  
perform certain tasks? No, it is the taking  
hold of a certain task and then bending  
toward it every fiber to see it finished  
successfully.  
As a teacher I love children and get  
happiness from associating with them. I  
take pleasure in their work and activities;  
the result is that the children like me. The  
endless questions that the children ask do  
not become annoying to me, but I listen  
to them patiently.  
The greatest inducement in the field of  
teaching is not finances. The opportunity  
of living each day with children; the  
knowledge that I am building citizenship  
and character; the joy of living a life that  
counts in this world and in the world to  
come—these considerations will always  
be the ones that attract me to the teach- 
ing profession.  

Impressions That  
Union Stimulates  
To the lawyer life's a trial, 
To the poet life's a song; 
To the doctor life's a patient  
That needs treatment right along.  
To the soldier life's a battle, 
To the teacher life's a school;  
Life's a good thing to the grafter.  
It's a failure to the fool.  
To the man upon the engine  
Life's a long and heavy grade;  
It's a gamble to the gambler,  
To the merchant life is trade.  
Life's a picture to the artist,  
To the rascal life's a fraud;  
Life perhaps is but a burden  
To the man beneath the hod;  
Life is lovely to the lover,  
To the player life's a play.  
Life may be a load of trouble  
To the man upon the dray.  
Life is but a long vacation  
To the man who loves his work;  
Life's an everlasting effort  
To shun duty, to the shirk.  
To the earnest Christian worker  
Life's a story ever new; 
Life is what we try to make it— 
Brother, what is life to you?  
—Jeannette James, in New York  Times  
Book Review.  
INCENSE  
If in the morning new when I arise,  
I see not the beauty in the coral skies,  
And have no time to ponder on the blue 
Above . . . with sullen view  
See not the majesty of rolling cloud,  
Hear not the note of lark that sings aloud;  
If I have lain awake the night with care,  
And in the dawning find no comfort there;  
And gaze unmoved on hill and mountain  
peak,  
Symbols of things that to me mutely  
speak;  
But shift the burden of my petulance  
Upon some fellow-man of circumstance;  
God, lift the gloom from off my sullen  
eyes,  
And let me know that here is Paradise!  
—Caroline Converse.  
Christian View  
Offers Recompense  
By  ADA LUCINE WILLIAMS  
Once a man called me and asked me  
if I wanted a job as stenographer in  
that office to take the place of a girl  
who had suddenly left. I was so elated  
over the prospects of having work that I  
took it as an honor to be allowed to go  
there in that office. In fact, if he had  
asked me, I might have paid him to let  
me come. When I told my father what 
the call had been, and began discussing  
it with him, he asked me what the pay  
would be. I was afraid he would ask me  
that, for the man hadn't told me and I  
hadn't asked. My father told me I must  
learn to be businesslike. He was right. 
But I thought I had a good alibi that time.  
I had known the men in that office for a  
few years and had no idea that they'd  
do anything but the right thing about  
paying their stenographers. I expected  
the pay would not be large, but former  
stenographers had evidently lived on it.  
And I was happy to get work. But  
Father was correct, for it was my right  
to inquire as to what I would be given  
for my service.  
It is our right to inquire of God what  
will be our recompense for serving Him.  
Peter asked Jesus and was told that the  
twelve would have the glory of sitting on 
twelve thrones and judging the twelve  
tribes of Israel. Then Jesus, knowing 
that though that answer would satisfy  
Peter then would not satisfy thousands  
of others who come to Him asking the  
same question, said: "And everyone that  
hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sis- 
ters, or father, or mother, or wife, or  
children, or lands,  for my name's sake,  
shall receive an hundred fold . . . "  
and there we gasp. But Jesus has not fin-  
ished. The rest of his sentence is,  	 . . .  
and shall inherit everlasting life."  
That is the pay for entering his service.  
We shall receive an hundredfold for ev- 
erything we have given up.  
Suppose you are digging dandelions  
for Miss Rees at 18 cents an hour and  
some pompous one drives up in a big- 
looking car, steps out, cane in hand, and  
says, "If you'll come do a job for me for  
an hour I'll pay you well." You say,  
"Miss Rees put me to work here and  
I'm making 18 cents an hour. Maybe I  
better stay. -   "Come on," says the pomp- 
ous one, "and I'll pay you a hundred  
times as much. -   Eighteen dollars an hour.  
you gasp. Probably you'd jump up, in  
these days of depression, and say enthusi- 
astically, "I believe I could spare two  
hours, sir."  
That may be a far-fetched analogy, yet  
in these days when there is not only de- 
pression in pocketbooks but depression in  
spirit, Christ, who gave this answer to  
Peter years and years and  years  ago,  
stands appealing to every man and woman  
and child, and asking all to come. He

Roy Gardner is the undisputed champ- 
ion in the consumption of "spices."  
Bill Hanson claims that he likes di- 
versions—cows and accounting.  
Clinton von Pohle seems never to be  
lonesome. Why? He has a dog'  
Geraldine Davis has left North hall,  
to spend her vacation at Borger, Texas.  
According to most recent statistics it  
has been found that Ernest Baker, Ivan  
Sutton, and Haskell Baker have received  
about two-thirds of all the mail that ar- 
rived during summer school.  
Professor Ledington claims he is going  
to take a correspondence course in night  
watching. He is intensely interested in  
putting  - the flash" on things at the right  
time and the exact place.  
If Ponce de Leon had lived long enough  
he would have realized his dream of the  
Fountain of Youth. The environs of  
North hall is a spouting evidence that  
Mr. Leon's dream was not a vain one.  
Clyde Bushnell, Philip Bulgin, and Al- 
ten Bringle are going in for the painful  
and strenuous competition as to who can  
develop the largest swellings from the  
results of bee stings. At date the race has  
been neck to neck.  
Alten Bringle has recently been pro- 
moted as third assistant to the dean, also  
holding down the romantic and prepond- 
erous position as night watchman. Much  
complaint has come from both dorms be- 
cause of his  - singin: in the dark" to keep  
up courage.  
The last few days Ernest Baker has  
been rather sad. No more does one hear  
his peal of laughter echo up and down the  
broad expanse of hall and campus. Sev- 
eral sleuths have been searching frantical- 
ly for the reason, but so far no available  
clues have been found.  
Whether it is that Abe Lincoln is  
leaving, or that he is just that way, he  
has been very "Friendly" this summer.  
Abe says he might teach next year and  
take part of his wages out in "kind" such  
as a cow, and chickens perhaps.  
Professor Nesmith has recently received  
his seniority standing as to his skill in 
being able to run a mower. In fact, he  
has become so expert in this trade that  
it is rumored he would have no difficulty  
in obtaining a barber's license for pro- 
fressional practice.  
According to recent interviews with  
Harry Turner, he is anticipating a heavy  
yield from his tomato project. He can- 
didly admits that it is an experiment. He 
disclaims that they are Ponderosas or  
Mississippi Girls. Perhaps (by rumors  
that have been heard) they will be called  
"Nebraska Girl."  
One day last week Dave Olsen was  
vigoriously attacking the contents of some  
books. This being an extraordinary com- 
mittal of Dave's, the writer investigated  
suspiciously the nature of his sudden turn  
to the printed page. This is what he  
found. "Facing Life," "Messages to Ern- 
est Youth," "The Map of Life," etc.  
After this discovery the writer has given  
him more encouragement.  
It has been long suspicioned as to the  
nature of how Dave'Eichkoff and Ernest  
Baker put in so much time, and where.  
The other day someone casually passed  
by North hall and glimpsed two silent  
shadows beneath the entrance steps. Up- 
on further investigation it was found to  
be the above mentioned persons, luxuri- 
ously resting on an upturned box, waiting  
for it to "get cool" and watching for the  
"boss."  
Haskell Baker has been in solitary con- 
finement for some time now. The writer  
has exhausted his mind in trying to gain  
an audience with him, but as yet has  
not been successful. However, Ernest  
Baker says he has "poison ivy." There  
is evidently mystery surrounding the  
whole matter. Ernie was asked how he  
got it. Giving the inquirer a withering  
look, and with a tight stern twist on his  
mouth, he walked away from him in an  
ungentlemanly strut.  
Ivan Sutton is the busiest man on the  
campus. Not even such efficient men as  
notable Bushnell, Baker and Baker, or  
Bringle can even register in the amount  
of work consumed.  
Clyde Bushnell says he is not in sym- 
pathy with depression and hoarding.  
"Bush" claims, with a firmness of irony,  
that he believes in "circulation."  
Several members of the faculty have  
talked seriously of contending for the  
Wimbleton and Davis Cup matches when  
they are held again.  
"It's a poor joke when some one carries  
away a broken heart."

Purpose of Summer School  
There has been much controversy as to the value of summer  
school. It is said that full benefit cannot be received from the courses  
offered because of the continual  cramming  it requires; also that not  
enough time is given to material in classes, etc.  
This seems doubtful, however. It is true that one must cover  
within a period of a few weeks what generally requires a school  
semester to cover. But in summer school the material covered is  
fresh in the mind, and recalled more readily than that studied during  
semesters, where much of the material begins to get foggy because  
of the long period of time in between for recall. As to time given  
to material in classes, this problem is solved by the teachers in or- 
ganizing the material to be taught and all the necessary facts may  
be made clear by this method.  
Much has been said as to the great strain and volume of  
material that must be studied. This fact is true. The purpose of  
summer school is for the benefit of teachers and those who have in  
mind to study where they have no other means to catch up on  
credits or requirements for preparing to teach.  
Within recent years summer school has been gaining in popu- 
larity throughout the United States. Statistics show an increased  
attendance year by year.  
Union college strives to make its summer school a valuable  
and opportune place  fo r her students and teachers. New features are  
being added. This year the new features have been the field trips and  
additions to the curriculum. The educational value and enjoyment  
obtained from these new additions has been expressed by many.  
Why not plan to attend summer school in 1933? Union will give  
you the benefit of Christian and educational aids that is seldom  
offered anywhere else.  
H. G. L.  
World Upheavals  
The development of world affairs within the last three months  
has been one of upheavals and drastic measures in political and  
social lines. Probably at no time in the world's history are conditios  
so confused and problematic. These are the times that test men's  
more and  more  
controversies exist, and there is less and less agreeing upon major  
matters, At the disarmament conference, nations almost came to blows.  
At the Ottawa conference, England's colonies show stubborn re- 
sistance against the mother country. In South America revolutions  
have broken out anew. Bolivia and Paraguay are quarreling over  
boundary disputes. Germany has indications of returning to monarchic  
government, Russia and Japan are menacing the Far East. To add  
to this we may look at the social conditions—riots in India, Germany,  
and the United States. Strife among laboring factions in Illinois, Ohio,  
and Kentucky are again opening their once healed wounds. Then the  
bonus army resistance at the doorsteps of the nation's capitol. All  
of these add to the difficulties that are already overloading the de- 
pressed conditions of the world. It is a time when we need something  
firm to stand or rest our faith upon. We are indeed living in a "perilous  
time" when it seems "men's hearts are failing them." We need strong 
minds and hearts to lead us over into a new era. If we would let a  
Master mind into our problems today perhaps we would have more  
brotherhood, less disagreeing, and more accomplishment. As it is  
now, men shake their heads and groan in lamentation because they  
have "big business" and care nothing for the millions of people who  
must bear the brunt of their disagreeing.  
H. G. L.  
Prohibition Challenge  
Undoubtedly one of the great challenges to the youth of America  
is  the question of prohibition. For the past few years volumes of  
articles have been written pro and con condemning the youth of our  
land, especially the college student, in the quantity and quality of 
liquor he consumes.  •  
The problem was given no teal light, however, until recently  
when the deans of thirteen leading universities were asked, "In your  
opinion do today's students do as much drinking as students in  
1910?" Eight said, "less drinking today," two said, "more drinking  
today," and three were non-committal. Thus it seems that much of  
the accusations have been the result of much advertisement. It must  
be admitted, however, that there is  some  drinking. But there is  less  
than in 1910.  
Probably no question outside of the economic depression is so  
greatly a contested one as the prohibition issue. In a few months its  
case will be decided at the elections. This offers a challenge to the  
youth of our land to answer the accusations that they have been flailed  
with. 
We must not be influenced by high-powered orators, by played- 
up articles in magazines and newspapers, or by the political party we  
favor, who try to deceive people into believing that repeal of the  
Eighteenth amendment will bring back prosperity, England, Canada,  
and Sweden say it has not. Recent statistics from Great Britain reveal  
that fully 40 per cent of the nation's poverty resulted from the use  
of liquor. And Great Britain is  wet.  
Let us be on our guard and fight this issue to the uttermost. We  
youth must uphold our honor. Let us meet our accusers fairly, with  
proof and evidence of soundness that we are not "drinkers," and worse  
than the past generation when liquor was in vogue. We do not  
want liquor. We have lived without it and we can continue to do so.  
Let us fight to keep our nation an example before the world, and  
to make prohibition a success rather than the failure that the wets  
are trying to convince the public it  is.  
H.  G. L.  
Throughout the summer the campus of Union has been taken  
care of in an excellent manner. The lawn and hedges have been  
kept cut and trimmed. The flower beds are blooming in profusion.  
Those who come to Union for the first time will be greeted with one  
of the most beautiful campuses in the Middle West.

Jnalitu  is  
Needed . ' for Humor  
By  EVELYN HOUSE  
There  are,  according to Ruediger and  
Strayer, in the  "Journal of Educational  
Psychology, -  five major factors that de- 
termine the qualities of merit in teachers.  
They  are experience, health, professional  
training, scholarship, and personality.  
Most of our prominent educators empha- 
size personality as one of the traits which  
determine one s success in teaching. The  
Latin verb  - personare, -   from which  - per- 
son and "personality are derived, means  
sound through'' and where does one's  
inner self, his thoughts, his feelings, and  
his will sound in more perfect tones  
than in his glances, his words, and his  
acts?  
The march of history is directed again  
and again by the influence of dominant  
personality. Among those who have had  
great influence in history we might name  
Napoleon, Mohammed, Luther, Charle- 
magne, Washington, Alexander the Great,  
Lincoln, and many others.  
Seldom has death been able to destroy  
the work of great men or women. From  
beyond the grave they have influenced  
coming generations, and following centur- 
ies. To what is this due? Mistaken is  
he who thinks that the duration of their  
influence in the lapse of time is due to  
their ideas or to the institutions they have  
founded. Their most powerful influence  
sprang from their personalities. Man  
makes what impression he produces upon  
his fellowmen through his personality.  
This is true not only of the heroes of  
history; it is true of all mankind of  
small as well as great.  
A strong personality enchants other  
people, without one's being at,:e clearly  
to say why or how. In school life, a root  
of its power sends forth a plainly. visi- 
ble shoot. The child has the teacher  
every day, every hour of the school day,  
before his eyes. If he, the teacher, lets  
the motions of his heart, his thought, and  
his feelings "sound forth" through his  
glances, his words, and his deeds, then  
his personality becomes an educational  
means of priceless value. The child re- 
ceives the impressions that come to him  
from the personality of the teacher, with  
all the susceptibility and with all the  
incapacity to resist with which youth  
surrenders to the feeling of the moment.  
The child's own inner life becomes com- 
pletely dominated by that of the teacher.  
"Great is the responsibility of those who  
take upon themselves the guidance of a  
human soul."  
Two teachers may say the very same  
words upon a subject, one with indif- 
ference, one with a real life, enthusiasm,  
a real personality back of it and what 
a vast difference in its meaning to the  
hearer. One must be absorbed in his sub- 
ject with all his soul if he wishes to  
win for it his pupil's heart.  
Another point that ought to be con- 
sidered is individuality. Presenting a sub- 
ject in one way may have the desired  
effect upon one group of pupils while  
at the same time it might produce an  
entirely different reaction upon another  
child in the same class. Some one has  
aptly said, "Every human being is a  
sample, the only one of his kind." There- 
fore, method and teacher must become  
one; method must be blended with his  
personality.  
The successful teacher attains his ends,  
probably, as much through unconscious  
influence as by conscious effort. This  
unconscious influence is wider in its scope  
and far more far-reaching in its effects,  
if not more immediate in its working upon  
the pupil's coming under its subtle sway  
than all the accompanying visible and  
systematic labor on the part of the  
teacher.  
It is more or less an accepted doctrine  
that in order to get good and durable  
results from the pupils, his work must  
be made interesting to him. The warmer  
the children's interest grows in the sub- 
ject the easier it is for them to forget  
the attitude of body, surroundings and  
the like, the nearer they get toward the  
desired goal set for them. What teacher's  
heart does not fairly thrill when she  
sees her pupils' hands shoot far above  
their heads, as with sparkling eyes they  
press over their seats toward her, eager  
to learn the lesson she is endeavoring to  
teach?  
It has gradually become recognized  
that, after all, one of the most effective  
means of maintaining such interest abides  
in the personality of the teacher. An  
outstanding composite of this personality,  
I believe, is a sense of humor. How much  
more "alive" a mere touch of humor  
can make an otherwise  - dry", uninter- 
esting subject! How happily it can fill  
a bare school room with a cheerful spirit!  
A sense of humor in the personality of  
the teacher is a great controlling factor  
in the discipline of the school. Especially  
on the opening day or the first week of  
school every eye is on the teacher to see  
of  - what stuff she is made." After the  
shyness of novelty has worn off, if not  
sooner, some pupil is very apt to "do  
something just to see what teacher will  
do." If the teacher hestitates she is lost— 
at least for the time being. She must

do something and do it quickly that  
it almost takes away the breath from  
the insurgent. I he teacher s response need  
not necessarily be harsh. Many times, a  
little, quick, sharp sarcasm that will make  
the school laugh with the teacher at the  
offender is one of the most potent weap- 
ons she can use. She (the teacher) must  
be sharp enough and quick enough so  
chat the pupils laugh  with  her and not  at  
her or she loses, It not infrequently hap- 
pens, at least in my experiences, that 
boys have a bad cough" and this  
cough,' for some reason, has the most  
peculiar or unnatural sound. A skillful  
teacher may make some humorous re- 
,nark and may perhaps offer some cough  
medicine or cough drops and many times  
remarkably quick cures of the  - distress- 
ing pulmonary affections take place.  
it a pupil persists in writing notes,  
many times an hour or so of continuous  
writing is very effective. (Of course, as  
no two children are alike, they must be  
controlled accordingly. The teacher who  
studies her pupils can usually tell what  
is the best way to secure the desired re- 
suelt.) It seems to me that sharp, short  
checks  - work -   better in dealing with boys  
than with girls. A boy rarely bears ill  
will toward a teacher for giving him  
his just deserts, while a girls sense of  
justice seems much less keen and she  
may sometimes bear a long grudge for  
a punishment that was eminently fair and  
just. I believe Greenwood's words are  
quite true. He says,  	 a great deal of  
care can be used to advantage in pun- 
ishing girls, as they are very sensitive  
to ridicule, and a reprimand that will  
only make a boy grin sheepishly will 
often move a girl to tears and a long  
period of sulks."  
After one has won the first few trials  
of strength, things will usually settle  
down to a comfortable calm, broken oc- 
casionally, of course, by ,Sporadic out- 
breaks. These will occur even under the 
best of management; they are almost ne- 
cessary incidents of school life, which  
only prove that the school is made up of  
live, active youngsters.  
I have known teachers who seem to  
think that their shcool is to work as  
a noiseless machine, and who take upon  
themselves the dignity of a stern judge.  
They do not enjoy an outburst of hilarity.  
In fact, I believe that the very thought  
of it would almost make their  - hair stand  
on end." But what evil can result from a  
refreshing outburst of joyous hilarity once  
in a while? Weimer has said, "Whoever  
possesses this jewel (humor) in his cas- 
ket, hides a rich treasure of love. For  
genuine humor is inseparable from love."  
It seems nothing less than cruelty or  
torment to demand long sustained effort,  
on the part of the child, be the subject  
agreeable or disagreeable, entertaining or  
tiresome. This, I believe, will gradually  
weigh down the child's soul "as if a pon- 
derous mountain were piled upon it." He  
becomes shy and timid, and is absorbed  
in silent, half conscious hatred of every- 
thing that is called school or that has any  
connection with school. I believe that  
when a happy thought or remark comes  
to the teacher's mind, she should not  
be afraid to express it, for it is likely  
to draw a refreshing laugh from the  
children. A child, by nature, needs a  
short period or relaxation after each  
period of hard mental labor. A sensible  
driver does not alow his horse to pull  
a heavy load for hours without rest. He  
knows that a few minutes of rest can be  
easily made up by the refreshed animal.  
So we may let the children, when we  
think it necessary, "recover their breath"  
in the midst of their school work. They  
will make good the loss of time by more  
diligent work. A short pause now and  
then often proves a great relief; after 
the strain of close attention "a little  
humor now and then is relished by the  
best of men." Not only does a hearty  
laugh help the pupils; it has a refreshing  
effect upon the teacher herself.  
The fact that school is not all play  
does not make it true that it cannot be  
made enjoyable. It does not need to be a  
prison house; the teacher can, if she  
wills, "breath" life, growth, and happiness  
into her school room.  
In my conception, the teacher with- 
out a sense of humor in her personality  
is merely what we might term, an "ani- 
mated machine" and not truly the charac- 
ter that the word "teacher" is meant to  
imply.

Did you ever NOTICE  
how very odd  
OTHER people are?  
1'or instance, WHY  
do they never, never  
admit a fault? If  
they LOSE a game.  
they say they  
wouldn't have, had  
it not been for  
somebody ELSE, or  
they say. "Well, I  
thought—" and then 
they ALIBI some MORE.  
I don't s'pose I  
ever do that.  
Do YOU?  
But DI,D you  
ever notice how OTHER  
people can act  
SNOBBISH? Once I  
saw a fellow, at a party  
where partners were  
being miscellaneously  
got, almost AUDIBLY  
turn up his snobbish  
nose when he saw  
whom HIS partner was to  
be. And once at a  
march I saw a girl  
do just as BAD.  
But I never do that.  
DO YOU?  
Another queer thing  
about OTHER people is the  
way they can be so  
IMPOLITE. I know some  
people who always do  
some annoying thing  
like chewing GUM in your  
face, kicking your chair  
in WORSHIP, drumming on  
the table, and especially  
WHISPERING and LAUGHING  
in CHURCH. That is  
the worst. And once  
I saw a girl snicker  
after some one had  
passed and SAY  
something to somebody  
else. I just couldn't  
do THAT. could YOU?  
And these UNDEPENDABLE  
people simply astonish me. It  
It would be fun to have  
some one tell you 
she'd meet you at  
a CERTAIN time, and  
have her really be  
there THEN. I can't 
think of a soul that does  
that, though. They  
all say, "Oh, I'm  
sorry I was late—  
I'm SO busy!" I'd  
hate to have  
people think they  
couldn't depend  
on me. Wouldn't YOU?  
People who are always  
sick AMUSE me. They  
have had more PAINS  
and OPERATIONS than  
any one in the wide world,  
probably. And they talk  
so FAST telling  
you about what they  
HAVE that you don't  
have a chance to  
tell THEM what you have.  
And you always have to  
excuse their INDIFFERENCE  
or TEMPERS because  
they were TIRED and  
NERVOUS. I don't  
understand that. Do YOU?  
Other oddities I find  
among people are their  
dispositions to get JEALOUS  
of some one else's ability;  
the way they GOSSIP; and  
FAULTFINDING. Why, I know  
that one day Dorothy Perkins  
spent TWO HOURS telling  
me all she knew about  
the girls next door and  
her ROOMMATE. It wouldn't  
be so bad just telling  
little stories you  
had heard about people  
if you didn't just sit  
and PICK out their SINS.  
I'm sure I always  
have a very GENEROUS  
attitude toward  
people. I want them  
to be happy and 
think as they WISH. I  
like them just as they  
are. But I can't  
UNDERSTAND the way some  
people's BRAINS work.

Statue to Denict  
Youth  of Lincoln  
America's newest memorial to Abraham  
Lincoln, a heroic bronze statue of the  
martyred president, in which he is de- 
picted as a Hoosier youth of 21, is to be  
dedicated this autumn with fitting cere- 
monies at Fort. Wayne, Indiana.  
The statue, which was executed by  
Paul Manship, celebrated New York  
sculptor, has been planned to serve as  
an inspiration to the youth of the na- 
tion, signifying the simple virtues by  
which Lincoln arose from humble birth  
to the highest office in the land. It is be- 
ing erected on the plaza of the Lincoln  
National Life Insurance company's build- 
ing.  
Manship's conception of Lincoln pre- 
sents the young frontiersman leaning easi- 
ly against an oak stump, symbolic of his  
sturdy background. A true American  
hound dog, such as the boy Lincoln al- 
ways had for company in his pilgrimages  
through the woods, is resting its nose  
against Lincoln's knee; the familiar rail- 
spliting axe is in the foreground; and in  
Lincoln's hand is a book such as he fre- 
quently carried with him. On each face  
of the pedestal is to be a group of figures  
in medallion form, representing some of  
the characteristics with which Lincoln's  
name is always associated—patriotism,  
justice, charity, and fortitude. The figure  
of Lincoln stands 12 feet, 4 inches, in  
height; and with the pedestral and base  
the statue will arise 24 feet above the  
sidewalk.  
When Mr. Manship was commissioned  
four years ago to produce an outstanding  
creation of art which would be one of the  
foremost monuments in the world, he was  
asked to depict Lincoln as a Hoosier  
youth in view of the fact that the statue  
is to stand in the same state where Lin- 
coln spent 14 formative years of his  
life—from the age of 7 to 21.  
Realizing that no protographs of Lin- 
coln at that age existed, the sculptor  
sought the co-operation of Dr. Louis A.  
Warren, director of the Lincoln National  
Life foundation and Amerca's foremost  
authority on Lincoln's parentage and  
childhood. Manship and Warren searched  
all the known sources of information on  
the genealogy of the Lincoln and Flanks  
families, and made a special tour of the  
Indiana and Kentucky country in which  
the boy was reared. The Ohio river and  
reminders of the old ferryboat days and  
glimpses of the Kentucky homestead ex- 
cited the sculptor's imagination. A visit to  
the grave of Nancy Hanks near Lincoln  
City, Indiana, provided added stimulus,  
And so he retired to his studio and went  
to work on plaster models of the statue.  
"The desire to represent the young Lin- 
coln as a dreamer and a poet," Manship  
said, "rather than as the railsplitter was  
uppermost in my mind. These qualities  
were selected as being most important in  
view of the greatness of Lincoln's greater  
accomplishments and without which the  
idealism and clarity of his future would  
never have been possible.  
"Everyone has heard or read the stor- 
ies of Lincoln's youthful physical prowess  
and so we have depicted Lincoln as the  
Brawny youth that he was. The axe  
tells the story of his railsplitting days.  
The book symbolizes his intellectual fac- 
ulties; and the dog reminds us of his ex- 
ceptional love for animals as well as the  
greater feeling of human sympathy and  
protectiveness. His clothes I decided to  
make represent Linsey-Woolsey home- 
made shirt, buckskin trousers, and boots."  
Mr. Manship divided his time on the  
statue between his studios in New York  
and Paris and when the plaster model  
was finally completed, he personally su- 
pervised the bronze casting which was  
done in Brussels.

Ye Astronomer  
On August 31, many hundreds of peo- 
ple will be flocking into New England  
and Canada, for the purpose of seeing  
the eclipse of the sun for only a dura-
tion of a  few  seconds. On that day the  
moon will cast its shadow band across  
this territory as the sun is blotted out 
totally for almost a hundred seconds.  
The eclipse will occur about 3:30 P. M.,  
eastern standard time in Maine. Broad- 
casting stations plan to give moment by  
moment details as they occur during the  
short time.  
The totality will make it dark enough  
so that the brighter planets and stars  
will appear. The easiest stars to pick  
up will, be Arcturus, high up south of  
the zenith, and Regulus, about ten degrees  
to the right of the sun and a little lower.  
Jupiter will be on the same side of the  
sun but only four degrees from him and 
should be very conspicuous. Mercury will  
be about eight degrees west of Regulus.  
Almost equally bright in Venus, but it  
will be low on the horizon and unob- 
servable.  
Total eclipses are a rare occurance in  
any one locality. No total eclipse will  
occur again in New England until Octo- 
ber, 1959.  
The planet Saturn can now be observed  
in the southeastern horizon.  
Note the increased numbers of meteors  
that flash across the sky these August  
nights. During the middle of August they  
will appear more numerous than usual.  
After the moon goes down about mid- 
night, watch the sky for these brilliant  
spectacles, as they can be seen more  
easily at this time of night.

The center of interest for the next few  
months will be focused on the elections  
in November. It seems that the prohibition  
issue is not the major problem that is  
to be confronted at the elections as most  
everyone believes. It has mostly to do  
with tariff and foreign relations, and the  
attitude on the economic situation in Eur- 
ope, especially the reparation plan. The  
economic platform will therefore be the  
deciding issue as to whether the United  
States will be under llemocratics -br

Education Creates  
Larger Vision of  
Needs to World  
By  MRS.  E.  BENTON  
My education means a store of useful  
knowledge, a better means of making a  
living, a larger vision of the world's  
need and the part I am to perform in  
answering this need a group of friends  
that encircles the world, an increased  
happiness in this life and increased desire  
for the better life to come.  
A store of useful knowledge? Yes. My  
history has helped me to understand the  
past as a basis for the present-day in- 
stitutions. I have been able to see God's  
guiding hand in the affairs of men. And  
from my English I have gathered gems 
from great minds, have learned the funda- 
mentals of rhetoric and grammar so that  
in a measure I can convey my thoughts  
more intelligently, and have learned some  
of the principles that make the relating  
of these thoughts more concrete and in- 
teresting. The study of the sciences and 
the Bible has opened up to me the won- 
ders of creation and has given me a great- 
er desire to be perfect even as God, the  
Creator, is perfect. My mathematics, of  
course, is very useful in the everyday cal- 
culations of life. Especially in this time of  
depression is it necessary. Then my  
classes in education have given me some  
of the principles that a good teacher  
must have. This brings me to my next  
point.  
My education means a better way of  
making a living. All this store of useful  
knowledge together with some of the prin- 
ciples of good teaching has fitted me for  
a profession that I would have been un-
able to follow without my education. The  
reason that I consider the profession of  
teaching superior to that of milk maid and  
farm girl is that it brings greater financial  
returns (that is, if the depression doesn't  
last always) as well as greater social  
and aesthetic returns. And I really prefer  
the molding of children's characters to  
molding the character of cows and horses.  
I have received a glimpse of the world's  
great need, How many millions of people  
there are who need to be taught how to  
keep their bodies clean, how to eat what  
the body needs, how to care for the sick,  
how to come to God who gives them  
life! But the task is so great! What is  
the use of my trying? My education has  
given me the inspiration, not to bury my  
talents, but to go and gain other talents.  
Many of my schoolmates have gone to all  
parts of the world to put their talents into  
use, and thus I have a circle of friends  
that reaches almost around the world— 
all over the United States, in China,  
Japan, India, Africa, South America,  
Spain, and the island of Jamaica.  
All of this has brought me increased

Have you ever observed persons and  
noticed how they smiled? Does it ever  
impress you how much is revealed in  
a smile? Many times we can form our  
opinion in a minute of a person by the  
way he smiles. Have you ever met any- 
one who smiles on both sides of his or  
her face? Does your heart feel better to  
see people smile? Of course every one's  
does. But now I'm going to relate a story  
I observed.  
Once there was a farmer living in a  
valley along - a river. He had the most  
fertile land and ideal conditions that could  
be desired anywhere. Year after year he  
added more comforts to his home and  
farm equipment. Then one year, in Au- 
gust, when the corn was in tassel, grain  
in shock, and potatoes were ready to  
harvest, heavy rains set in and flooded 
his land, carrying away and destroying  
his crops. Yet he smiled on both sides  
of his face. But this was not all. Black- 
leg spread among his cattle and almost  
all of them died; great expense was in- 
volved in destroying the disease. But  
still he smiled. Then came the next year.  
It failed to rain. The days were hot.  
Crops began to burn up. Weeks went  
by and no rain fell. Then hordes of  
grasshoppers took what was left of the  
crops. A mortgage had to be made on  
the farm to keep the livestock in feed.  
And now you ask what did he do then?  
Well, he still smiled.  
CHRISTIAN VIEW OFFERS  
RECOMPENSE  
(Continued from page two)  
doesn't even wait for them to ask what  
price His service. He begs them to come  
for their reward. Think of that. A Christ  
who is perfect—the Creator of us and all  
our universe—stands begging us to come.  
And what do we have to leave when we  
come? Nothing much. At least nothing  
that will compare.  
But what if we didn't receive a hundred  
fold? What if our only reward were sat- 
isfaction? Would it be worth while? Sup- 
pose that you are just an ordinary no- 
body on the street. If there's anything  
you dearly love to do it's to go to a  
good show. Somehow you happen to  
get acquainted with President Andreasen  
and decide to go to college. One day you  
go back down town and drop in a show.  
President Andreasen happens to see  

A mile up the valley lived a neighbor.  
During those two years he also passed  
through the same experiences. His face  
began to wear hard lines. One side of  
his mouth drooped a bit with a faulty  
sneer. He tried to lay the blame of un- 
fortunate conditions on "capitalists" on  
the "president" the "stock market," etc.  
Then he sold his livestock. Prices were  
low, yet he complained of having to pay  
high prices for his purchases. In general 
he thought "the world, weather, people,  
and all undesirable things had it in for  
him, or didn't give him a break, or what  
was the use." The sneer became more 
worse. 
cruel and bitter as conditions became  
Then he gave up farming. He looked  
for a job. He couldn't find any and he  
became a member of the great army of  
drifters and roamers about the country.  
He has never been heard of again as a  
citizen of the community.  
The man that smiled on both sides of  
his face when all looked forlorn and  
hopeless, hung on and on to his meagre  
and exhausted means. Today he still  
smiles, although a little tired, but because  
of the habit of it during prosperous times  
it still hangs on and won't be erased.  
Thus we have the two personalities,  
optimism and pessimism. And the old  
proverb which even to this day may be  
applied fittingly: "We laugh with both  
sides of our faces, but most of us can  
sneer with only one," may be practiced.  
you drop out after while and he has a  
little chat with you.  
You say, "Why, there's nothing wrong  
in a good, clean show. It's never hurt  
me yet. But if you don't want me to go  
—well, what'll you give me to quit?"  
The president says, "I won't give you  
anything. But you'll have something bet- 
ter than I can give you if when you feel  
like going you think of something else  
to do that is less selfish. Suppose you try  
playing tennis every time you feel like  
taking in a good show? Tennis builds you  
up.. Do your 'good' shows strengthen  
either your muscles or your thinking  
ability?"  
So the next time you feel like seeing  
a show you put on your tennis shoes in- 
stead. And when you come in with a  
blister on one hand, a sunburned nose,  
and stiff legs, you think, "Whew, I'm  
tired." Nobody gets up in chapel and  
praises you as a hero or offers you five  
dollars for the victory. But inside you   

feel that you've grown at least in your  
sell-respect and you feel that you're going  
to be able to be somebody atter all.  
besides the return of a hundred told,  
and besides the satisfaction that warms  
your heart, there is the rest of that sen-  
tence,  	 . . . and shall inherit everlast-  
ing life. -  
x ou read big headlines in newspapers  
telling you that So-and-So was killed in  
an accident. "My, that's awful," you say.  
the next week you are driving along at  
a good speed and something happens.  
Your car turns over and maybe you don't  
get hurt. In that instant perhaps you ex-
pect it is the end of you. but the next  
moment you are crawling out of the  
wreckage thankful to be alive. A month  
later when you read other glaring head-
lines you don't say, "My, that s awful."  
You sit numb, holding on to lite as tight  
as you can. You love life even at its  
worst. You wouldn't miss out on it for  
anything. And there stands Christ offer- 
ing you life, and you aren't thinking. You  
brush past thoughtlessly. Yet He stands  
offering  everlasting.  lite, in return for your  
loving Him and following Him.  
To most of us, being a Christian doesn't  
make us give up much. In the days of  
Paul it meant scorn and humiliation worse  
than any of us have an idea of. Back  
farther in the days of Moses it meant to  
him giving up the best earth could offer  
him. He gave up good food, a good  
house. He gave up good clothes in Phara- 
oh's palace to go out in the heat of the  
desert, the desolation of the wilderness  
with a quarreling, accusing mob of slaves.  
And he considered that better than what  
he had.  
Let us look forward with Moses and  
David and Paul. With Moses, let us es- 
teem the reproach of Christ greater than  
the riches of Egypt. With David, let us  
look forward to the satisfaction of being  
made in Christ's likeness and having his  
righteousness. With Paul, let us count  
the hardship and humiliation that may  
come to us some day but for a day and  
not worthy to be compared with the glory  
of Christ's eternity.  
I admire Paul for what he says in  
Phil. 3:13, 14:  	 . . . but this one thing  
I do, forgetting those things which are be- 
hind, and reaching forth unto those things  
which are before, I press toward the  
mark for the prize of the high calling of  
God in Christ Jesus." It takes courage  
to forget. We too must learn to put be- 
hind our discouragements and our fail-
ures, to take on Christ's strength, and to  
press forward. Remember that Christ  
says: "Behold, I stand at the door, and  
knock; if any man hear my voice, and  
open the door, I will come in to him, and  
will sup with him, and he with me. To  
him that overcometh will I grant to sit  
with me in my throne, even as I also  
overcame, and am set down with my  
Father in his throne. -  
And now, let us recall these points:  
We have the right to ask what our  
recompense will be.  
Christ offers to pay us an hundred  
fold for whatever we have given up.  
Our mind's satisfaction for doing  
right is worth the cost of doing it.  
Eternal life and all its opportunities  
is God's gift for our services.  
He is standing at the door knock- 
ing.

still with us, and we appreciate their  
faithful work. They say they like it here,  
but they often speak with a certain wist- 
fulness of some vacation plans for later  
in  the  summer, and we shall be glad, with  
them, when they can enjoy two weeks of  
rest and change.  
Nell Beem worked for a while after  
school closed, but her folk sent for her  
to come home; so she left about the mid- 
dle of June. Since then Esther Siebenlist  
has taken her place. Miss Siebenlist, a  
graduate of Enterprise academy, plans to  
be in college this fall.  
And this completes our list. We like  
our work this summer. We like to be near 
old Union, and it is with great interest  
that we watch from our center the things  
happening in the distance. We wonder  
many times what the twelfth of Septem- 
ber will bring to us—how many, and who  
they will be, and if this one or that one  
will be back. But when you come, new  
and old, be assured that a welcome awaits  
you at the Union College laundry.

"Of course it pays!" And she smiles  
sof tly, remembering loyal sons and daugh-

working here and there in the world.  
Union's halls are  not  empty. Listen!  
We hear echoes of Christian students.  
Some one across the hall throws a cheery  
"Buenas mananas!" Whispers of every- 
thing that was meet in still, dark halls.  
The Spirit of Union fills the air. Mother

W hat Does it 1  
to be a Teacher  
BY  G.  CORINNE BRENTON  
Church school teaching,—Ah, there  
you have the worst paid, and the best  
rewarded of all the vocations. There is  
call for work, responsibility and leader- 
ship, thoroughness and thought, self-con- 
trol and self-denial.  
The first school was established in the  
Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve were  
the pupils and nature presented living  
lessons to them. God was the teacher and  
they received instruction through direct  
communion with him. All living things,  
God's glory in the heavens,  the  mysteries  
of light and sound, of day and night, and  
many other interesting things, were  stu- 
died.  It was God's purpose for the en- 
tire world to establish schools like the  
one he had given—where the words and  
works of God should be studied. The  
prophets followed by establishing schools  
to provide for the mental and spiritual  
welfare of the youth. The results of true  
education can be seen in the lives of men  
like Joseph, Daniel, Moses, and Elisha,  
who stood in the world as representatives  
of God.  
The responsibility of establishing  
schools rests upon our churches of today  
and upon the church school teacher the  
responsibility of leading the pupils in the  
paths of right and establishing the right 
principals in them, so that when they  
grow into manhood and womanhood they  
will have a foundation that will not be  
easily shaken.  
"The true teacher is not satisfied with  
second rate work. He is not satisfied with 
directing his students to a standard lower  
than the highest which it is possible for  
them to obtain. He cannot be content  
with imparting to them only technical  
knowledge. It is his ambition to inspire  
them with principals of truth, obedience,  
obedience, honor, integrity, and purity  
principals that will make them a posi- 
tive force for the stability and uplifting  
of  society."—Education,  p. 29.  
What a responsibility is laid on the  
shoulders of the church-school teacher.  
Can she shift that responsibility to some- 
one else? No, it is hers and it behooves  
each teacher to carry that responsibility  
to the very best of her ability. She must  
be naturally enthusiastic and put her  
whole heart and soul into her work. She  
must be a leader of her flock, not a  
driver; for to lead is Christ-like and to  
drive is unchristian. The difference  
between the teacher who is a Christian  
and one who is not, is not a difference  
of doctrinal or ritual or verbal profes- 
sion. It is a difference in tone, temper- 
and spirit.  
The character of the teacher is the  
greatest moving power. What she is and  
the spirit she establishes will govern or  
misgovern her pupils. If she cannot con- 
trol herself, she cannot control her pupils.  
If she is not a quiet or an active power  
for good she cannot make of her school  
what she otherwise would. The teacher  
can gain the respect of her pupils in  
no other way than revealing in her own  
character the principals which she seeks  
to teach them.  
The teacher's influence cannot end at  
the schoolroom door. It must go with the  
child and uplift and support him, as will  
that of a worthy mother. The teacher's  
example and precept must work quietly  
and steadily through all the child's wak- 
ing hours whether spent in work or play,  
whether in school, home, or elsewhere.  
She must enlarge her spirit to include the  
interests and aims of all persons whom  
her life in any way affects. She is looked  
to as an example and is expected to  
be a leader not only in the school, but  
in the church and the community. She  
should enter the work of the Missionary  
Volunteer society, Sabbath school, and  
helping in whatever way she can and  
other organizations of the church with  
real enthusiasm.  
How important it is for the church- 
school teacher to be faithful in carrying  
her responsibilities, looking to Christ as  
her teacher and guide; she will then exert  
an influence that will not cease to extend 
and strengthen until time shall end.  
Then really what does it mean to be  
a church school teacher? It means work  
perhaps teaching each day and on Sab- 
bath, too; responsibility and leadership in  
the school, church and community; self- 
sacrifice,-working for small wages, (but  
that should be a secondary matter and  
we should not worry if we don't receive  
our check); self-control; thoroughness;  
thought; enthusiasm in her work such that  
it will be contagious to the pupils; in- 
tegrity; courtesy; and evenness of disposi-
tion—all essential qualifications.  
Church school teacher, put your whole  
soul into the work, and duty will become  
a delight and sacrifice a pleasure.
