President's Address 
We have come to another joyous year in the history of Union 
College. It has been the experience of some of us to enjoy such ex-
periences a good many times; it is perhaps the first experience to a 
good many here tonight. I am not speaking of these things simply 
to have something to talk about, simply because it is our custom to 
have an opening exercise. But tonight I am going to address you 
upon a topic that I believe is fundamental to the success of Union 
College men and women this year. 
I don't know to what extent you have been following the ten-
dencies that are on in the world. I don't know to what extent you 
appreciate these tendencies. But I want to call your attention to 
them tonight, and to emphasize the relationship that I believe we 
should sustain to them. 
As we enter upon our college life, it is necessary that we get 
some vision of the world's great problems, if we are going to ac-
complish the most and do the best in our work. It is necessary that 
we get a vision of the world's problems that we may not only shape 
our college life and work to accomplish the most, but that our own 
lives may be responsive in meeting the tendencies of the world. 
These tendencies are not simply those that I see; but the world 
recognizes these facts. We find them leaking out in editorials in 
the daily papers, in magazine articles, and on the lecture platform. 
There are great problems in the world, greater than ever existed be-
fore. The opportunities for college men and women are greater as 
these great and trying problems are greater. We read in our daily 
papers articles entitled like these, "A Sick World," "The World in 
Ferment." Thinking men and scholars of today understand that 
there are problems on and they give expression to the conditions. 
But these men, in presenting these great problems, scarcely ever solve 
them, or give us a cue to the situation; they never point out the fun-
damental things that are necessary to change the conditions. 
4 �
The Educational Messenger 
The thing that I want to impress upon your mind is, that the 
men and women that come to an institution like this will have a 
great responsibility in the very near future; in fact, they have a 
very great opportunity now in stemming the tide. And as we 
start, I am anxious that every man and woman here may get a 
vision of the tendencies of the world, and get an inspiration in brac-
ing himself against the conditions of decay and the breaking up of 
civilization. 
But, getting down to the fundamental cause of the condition 
that exists, we may sum it all up by saying that it is in the break-
ing of the two commandments that Christ gave as the great 
commandments of the law—the commandments to "love the Lord 
thy God with all thy heart, . . . . and thy neighbor as thyself." 
Society is grasping to get hold of strength and power for the prin-
cipal purpose of gratifying self. And when that condition exists in 
the world society and civilization are gone. 
I was talking just Monday to the representative in Washington 
from this district. And he directed his conversation to this institu-
tion, and spoke of the uplifting power of a Christian institution such 
as this. Before he became a representative, business duties called 
him to Washington upon different occasions; and his boy became very 
much interested in the museums and art galleries of the city. One 
day he said to his boy: "I have some business to attend to this 
afternoon, and you may spend the afternoon as you please. But 
there is one thing I want you to do: I want you to find that statue 
that is built in memory of the man who made the most money." 
As they were at the supper table that night he asked the boy 
how he had enjoyed the afternoon. And the boy said, "I had a very 
pleasant time, father; but, father, I couldn't find that statue." 
"No, my son, people don't honor the kind of men that spend 
their lives in getting glory and wealth for personal gratification." 
And that is the principle that we want you to get as you start 
in this institution—the principle of service for humanity and to God. 
Then there is another thing that is breaking down society; it is 
the lowering of standards. There is great danger that we let a little 
bit of it come into our lives. The thing that I want to impress up-
on you is the need to determine, each for himself, in the beginning, 
to set his heart and his mind like a flint, that he will not let these 
The Educational Messenger �
5 
breaking down tendencies enter into his heart; but that he will as 
an individual, as a church member, as a citizen, do what he can to 
stem the downward tide. 
There are little indications that show whether or not we are let-
ting these things drift into our life. They come to us in many 
forms. (I hope they are not to be found to any extent in Adventist 
homes, and surely not in our colleges.) Modern dress, modern 
music, modern manners—all these things are indicative as to 
whether we are helping in the downward tendencies of the world. 
And I believe as Christian men and women, and as men and women 
that believe this great truth, that we have a tremendous responsi-
bility to brace ourselves against all these great evil tendencies. 
If you are consecrated and devoted to God you will stand firm 
against these tendencies; and I am sure every blessing will follow 
you. Tonight we are very glad to welcome you to the very best 
that Union has. We welcome you to the inspiration of the lives of 
those who have sat in these seats and walked these isles, and today 
are in the dark places of the earth. And to the old students: It is 
with joy that we have the privilege of mingling again in these 
class-rooms and halls. We welcome you to Union in her expanded 
form. We invite you all to make this year a year of greatest devotion 
and maximum progress for service in a needy cause. 
Cans 
My subject is "Cans." Doubtless you already have some picture 
in your mind concerning cans. Your thoughts may be different 
from mine. To the little boy—and possibly the man—the first men-
tal picture formed upon mention of the word would be of a cur 
racing down the street with a once stately container of Van Camp's 
products fastened to his tail. 
And so to every man the same thought may bring a different 
impression. The lazy person may think only of tin cans as an easy 
way to prepare a meal, but the energetic man substitutes "I" for 
"tin" and makes it "I can." 
Henry Ford said "I can," and he startled the world with his 
famous "tin can," Yes, he even made it possible for the lazy man 
6 �
The Educational Messenger 
to own a "can." In the very evolution of cans, "I cans" were first. 
And these two words should always dominate our action when the 
road is difficult. If Luther in his darkest hours had said, "I 
can't," the Reformation might have been stayed for decades. But 
he said, "I can" and he made the pope tremble on his throne. 
Through the long hard winter at Valley Forge, Washington said, "I 
can, " and because of this won the triumph at Yorktown. The 
motto, "They shall not pass," was the "I can," of a million deter-
mined soldiers. And because of their grim determination they suc-
ceeded. The success of a man is determined by the size of his 
"can."

To Make Thyself E-$c. ent 
GEORGE GIBBS 
To the new student entering school there are many perplexing 
problems to be met, and on the proper solving of these problems 
hinges the success or failure of that student. Not the least among 
these problems is that of the efficient use of his or her time. To the 
Christian, who recognizes God as the giver of every gift of life, time 
is presented as one of the greatest of these gifts. Recognizing this 
as a gift of God, we must, if we would develop that unity with God 
which is the essential aim of all true education, also recognize our 
duty to fill each moment full of distance run. The mill can never 
grind again with water which is past; and for this reason engineers 
are constantly attempting to utilize every drop of that water in use-
ful work. The hours that we spend in work or recreation are gone 
forever. As the engineer tries to utilize the water, so we should 
try to make efficient use of our time. I imagine I hear some one 
say: "But am I not making full use of my time if I am occupied all 
of the time?" It may be that you are, but I doubt it. A couple of 
examples may make my point clear. 
A certain transfer line recently stated that they had been able 
to handle twenty per cent more work without running their trucks 
any farther since employing a man whose duty it is to see that 
every truck is not only kept busy, but that it is doing something 
useful. Before him is a chart of the city and a list of the work to 
be done. He sees that time is not wasted on the long empty hauls, 
and that every trip is made to count. They do not pay this man to 
handle any goods for them; but they can afford to pay him as much 
as several truck drivers, because he makes efficient the time of 
others. 
In every railroad office will be found a man whose duty it is to 
utilize to the fullest extent the time not only of the men, but also 
of the rolling stock and trackage of that line. He is known as a 
"dispatcher." In his mind that company becomes a great machine; 
and on the full utilization of each unit of that machine the success 
of the whole depends. 
Railroads and other large corporations, then, work with a 
definite plan; and without such a plan it would be impossible for 
8 �
The Educational Messenger 
them to reach any degree of success. It is just as important that 
students have a definite plan —a blue print, if you please—not only 
for their lives, but for the school year. And it is just as necessary 
that at the beginning of each day they have a program for that day. 
This program may be written or only mental, depending on the 
student. I would not eliminate games, sports, and other forms of 
recreation; but I would have each duty of the day assigned a definite 
time for its accomplishment. Do not think that because it some-
times may be impossible to carry out your plan exactly that the plan 
has necessarily been a failure. Does the teacher who makes out 
lesson plans think that they have been a failure because the inter-
est of some student has led to the bringing in of additonal material? 
Hardly; but she is a more efficient teacher for having had such a 
plan to work by. I do not care that your plan should be elaborate, 
or go into too many details; but it should be so arranged that things 
to be done may be done without wasting time between them in need-
less running from building to building or from library to study room 
"Waste not time, for time is the stuff life is made of." 
The Call from Nebraska 
ELVERA SWANSON 
The call went forth, "Come over into Nebraska and help us." 
Swiftly it sped eastward. From Iowa came an answer; and now 
Professor George Bowers, recently of Oak Park Academy, is fill-
ing a needy place in the science department of Union. 
But the call went on. In Illinois, at the Broadview Theological 
Seminary, it was heard echoing and re-echoing. Miss Lois Car-
michael, head of the English department there, responded, and is 
now teaching Latin and German to Union's students. 
But still the call sped on, ever eastward, for Union's need was 
great. Two more heard and answered. Dr. M. E. Olson, who 
comes to us from the South Lancaster Junior College, where he 
was president, has greatly strengthened our English department. 
Miss Rees, also of South Lancaster, is mothering the girls of North 
Hall. 
One more answered this call. Perhaps he was the first to hear 
it, for he comes from Nebraska. Professor E. D. Kirk, who was

graduated from Union last year, has charge of the oratory depart-
ment this year. 
The students of Union welcome the new members of the 
faculty and join with them in making this year Union's best.

The Educational Messenger 
(The Canton School 
V. M. HANSEN 
The ancient and historical city of Canton, with its two million 
inhabitants, is beautifully situated on the banks of the Pearl river, 
approximately ninety miles by railroad from the English seaport, 
Hong Kong. 
In this ancient city, whose old wall, historical gates, and 
weather-beaten temples, are gradually disappearing and going 
down under the improvements of western civilization, our work 
has been steadily advancing. 
The Lord in a signal manner has blessed the pioneer workers 
in this field, who labored for years under hard and trying circum-
stances. Today, we can see the results everywhere of the seed 
that was sown in those early days. 
As the writer spent most of his time in school work while in 
the Orient, a brief history will be given of the boys' school in 
Canton, and what it is accomplishing as a small unit in the spread 
of the gospel. 
This school began as a day school in the fall of 1903, with a 
total enrollment of ten boys, under the supervision and leadership 
of Elder J. N. Anderson, in response to a call from a few Chinese 
for school work. A Chinese teacher was secured, who was paid 
a salary of four dollars a month—approximately two dollars in 
American money. 
The studies taught at first were of the simplest kind, reading, 
arithmetic, writing, etc. A small Chinese house was rented, and 
for furniture, crude benches, chairs and tables were made. 
Elder J. N. Anderson was in charge of the school for a period 
of six years, being assisted part of that time by Brother E. H. 
Wilbor. Later Brother J. P. Anderson had charge. The school 
The Educational Messenger �

at this time was moved to a better location and changed from a 
day school to a boarding school. But even this location seemed 
very unsatisfactory because of unsanitary conditions. It was while 
working here that Brother J. P. Anderson had the smallpox. The 
school was again moved, but this place was found no better, and 
so it was finally moved away from the filth of the city, about two 
miles into the country, where we now have a large two-story brick 
building, able to accommodate about seventy-five students in the 
home. The architecture of the building is entirely foreign, and 
most of the boys attending seem to be quite elated with the privilege 
of living in a foreign building. This is, of course, to be expected 
when you consider the homes some of them come from—homes that 
we wouldn't think of using for barns. 
Most of the buildings in the country are made of a peculiar 
kind of clay suitable for that purpose. The majority of the homes 
have only few rooms, a dirt floor, a back and front entrance, and 
a small window or two. Here may be found as many as three 
generations striving to exist. In their homes (amongst the poorer 
classes especially) , their livestock are privileged characters and 
triay roam from kitchen to bedroom if they choose. So it will be 
oeadily understood how some of the boys must feel who come to 
the school. 
The school is now supported by a strong faculty of four Chinese 
and two foreign teachers. The general subjects taught are as fol-
lows : Bible, mathematics, history, geography, chemistry, Chinese 
grammar, English, botany, drawing and carpentry. Considering 
Bible the most important of all the studies, Prof. H. B. Parker, 
principal of the school, has charge of this department. Bible is 
taught by Chinese teachers in the lower grades, but in the upper 
grades foreigners are forced to do the teaching. Do not form the 
opinion from the above statement that there are no Chinese Bible 
students, for real Bible students can be found, though they are 
few in number at present. 
Being preceptor, the writer was brought in close contact with 
the boys at all times, and so had a splendid opportunity of studying 
the character of each. Of special interest in Chinese school life is 
the evening study period. Here, when forty boys get together and 
study out loud, raising their voices to so high a pitch that they 
may be heard two miles away, one is led to ask the question, "How 
14 �
The Educational Messenger 
are they able to study with all this noise?" Put the question to 
them and they will tell you without an exception that they could 
not get their lessons without studying them out loud. It seems to 
be born in them tc acquire their education by this method. The 
writer was much annoyed at first, but soon grew accustomed to it. 
School life there is very similar to school life in America. 
There ore some differences that might be well to mention. For in-
stance, the management, generally speaking, has an easy time in 
the case of discipline, especially if the young men who come have 
no bad haoits, like smoking, etc. Courtship is almost, if not wholly, 
an unheard of thing in the Orient. The parents take it upon them-
selves to choose their children's life partners for them. The chil-
dren seldom have any say in the matter. This is more true of the 
girls than of the boys. This ancient custom is gradually disappear-
ing and today, in the port cities especially, do we see young men 
and young women who are granted the privilege of choosing for 
themselves. 
It will be very interesting to note some of the work that is 
being done by the youog people's society. There is a well organized 
society in the school, with every member an active worker. Many 
of them have the real missionary spirit that should be seen in every 
school. Some of their goals are : Reading the Bible through as 
outlined in the Bible year, observing the morning watch, taking 
the reading course as prescribed for young people, setting their 
goal at $30 (half of this to be raised by the young ladies, the other 
half by the young men.) 
A true missionary spirit may be seen in the following incident: 
Certain members of the society came to the faculty and asked per-
mission to use the offering they had given in helping members of 
the church who were in need. This request was granted and im-
mediately they bought a large quilt in a second-hand store. New 
cloth was secured and when completed no one would have known 
but that it was a new quilt. This was presented to a poor family 
who were unable to make ends meet. Five dollars was also given 
them to help financially. The man is a ricksha driver and many 
days is unable to make enough to pay for his rice, not mentioning 
the many other expenses he must have. Two garments were made 
by members of the society and presented to an old lady. Sabbath 
afternoon all the students form bands and go to neighboring vil-

As soon as the young men finish their training and are cap-
able of carrying responsibilities they are sent out into the field. 
Calls are coming from all parts of the field for workers and the 
demand is so great that it is impossible to answer all the calls. 
Workers are needed everywhere. The boys' school at Canton is 
endeavoring to do its little part in this great movement of sending 
the gospel to a dying world. 
A Trip Through the Region of 
Former Head Hunters 
J. J. STRAHLE, '16 
By invitation of the Philippine Union Conference committee 
I accompanied Elder Hay and Brother and Sister Sevrens on an 
inspection tour through the mountain provinces of North Luzon, 
in view of establishing a mission among the non-Christian tribes: 
Early one morning in April we started from Baguio, the 
"health resort" of the Philippines. We took with us two horses 
and four cargadors (carriers of packs) to carry our baggage. The 
trail was very narrow, there being only room, enough for one per-
son to walk. A misstep would have meant to have been hurled 
over a cliff thousands of feet. As we were climbing constantly, 
we began to reach dense growths of live oak and ferns of all 
varieties. 
The people through the mountains are kind but rather timid 
with strangers. We soon learned that our cargadors would oily 
go from one town to another. Neither bribes nor threats could 
move them. Each town seemed to be afraid of each other for 
fear the other might take a few of their heads. The pet phrase 
usually was "This is the end." 
From Benguet we entered into the Ifugao country. Here we 
passed along a beautiful trail, through open pine groves, as beau-
tiful as though purposely cleared. Later on in the day we began 
to climb a steep trail so narrow that we seemed to be walking on 
a plank suspended over a deep abyss. A heavy thunder storm 
caught us before we reached the rest house, which was on the

very top of the mountain. After we arrived, the keeper soon had 
a hot fire in the fire-place and prepared food. We spent the evening 
wrapped in blankets, Indian fashion, while our clothes were dry-
ing. From the rest house the trail led through a wealth of flowers 
—orchids of many kinds, huge air plants, and tree-like begonias 
of several different species. It was the most enjoyable morning 
we had spent. We now began to meet many of the Ifugao people, 
who are very different from their neighbors, the Benguets. The 
men are slender but very straight. The gee-string is the only 
article of clothing they wear, with the exception of a bag which 
hangs over one hip. In this is carried a brass pipe, a wallet of 
tobacco, and a lime tube for use in chewing the betel nut. White 
Mt. Polis, highest 
point on the island 
of Luzon. J. J. 
Strahle with moun-
tain pony and carga-
dors carrying packs. 
buttons are arranged very neatly on the apron of the gee-string. 
At noon we got the first glimpse of the world-famed rice 
terraces. The terraces are built on the sides of the mountains. 
Sometimes there are several hundred of them from the valley to 
the top of the mountain. When a child is born a new terrace is 
built. Each terrace is built of stone, and they vary from five to 
ten feet in height, and the width is according to the contour of 
the mountain. We could look up valley after valley which branched 
off from the main valley and see the terraces, all green, towering 
up into the clouds which hovered over the mountains. Their sys-
tem of irrigating is wonderful as the water is brought from the 
high mountains, a distance of thirty miles. It is a feat of engineer-
ing equal to civilized people.

From Ifugao we went westward into the Bontoc province. 
At this place we witnessed a community feast. The people had 
been dancing eight days for rain and on this final grand wind-up 
expected to get the needed showers, but it was all in vain. We 
saw how the rice was cooked with blood of wild pigs. One basket 
of rice was set near a door-way for an offering to the spirit Anito. 
We traveled north, leaving Bontos in the background, and 
soon entered the renowned country of "head hunters," the Kalinga 
Province. 
We were royally received by the governor, who made us feel 
very comfortable. We told him what we were doing, and he was 
glad to hear it. He said : "If you go to Balbalan and see Chief 
Puyao, the president, who is known among his own people as the 
`King of the Kalingas' and win his favor the prospects may be 
good." The day of our arrival we sent a runner with a message 
to Chief Puyao telling him that American missionaries were wait-
ing for him. In the meantime, we visited with the people, treated 
the sick, and held meetings in the evenings. They entertained us 
with some weird singing and dancing to the tune of a ganza, which 
is a round pan-like affair. One hand hits the ganza with a sliding 
motion, the other hand immediately being placed on the ganza to 
stop the vibration. They sang a song of welcome. Brother Hay 
answered with an Ilocano hymn. Then he preached to them about 
our Father and of Jesus, and told them that we had come to teach 
them, for we were all brothers, although they did not know we 
had a common Father. 
On the morning of the third day we were notified of Chief 
Puyao's arrival. He was very pleasant and able to speak Ilocano, 
so through Brother Hay we had a good visit. That evening we 
were called to the council chamber, where Chief Puyao presided 
over ten councilmen. We were ushered to the front to sit with 
Chief Puyao. He then called on us to speak. We told them that 
we had brought a message from God, and explained the different 
points of truth. Chief Puyao then made a speech which brought 
tears to our eyes. "You have a message which rings true. Your 
words are not like the words of men of other missions who have 
been here. Before we did not know that Jesus is coming again." 
He pointed to a lantern on the table, "This is a little light, but we 
want you to come and teach us so we may have a great light. We 
. �

do not want the Catholic religion, for we have watched their works 
in the low-lands. We want you to come and teach us." 
We told them that we could not promise anything definite but 
would report to our committee at Manila and that we believed 
something would be done for them. Chief Puyao then answered 
and said : "If you will come, we will give you all the land you want, 
get hard wood from the forests to build a mission home for the 
family that the mission will send, build a school and a dormitory." 
All this was to be done free by the Kalingas. 
We were indeed thankful for such a wonderful opening, and 
pray that God will soon supply the workers and means to bring 
the message to these non-Christian tribes of North Luzon.

The house was beautifully decorated with ferns and tea roses. 
The couple stood against a bank of ferns, and a Union College 
pennant banner hung significantly over all. 
Mrs. Chapman is the daughter of Professor G. B. White. She 
attended the summer session at Union this year, and was also a stu-
dent during the 1917-18 term. She has won for herself a host of

Should Old Acquaintance Be Forgot? 
It is always a great privilege and inspiration to belong to a 
world-wide organization. The members of such an organization 
may well have a just pride in their membership, and will always 
feel encouraged and strengthened to know that many others like 
themselves are working for the accomplishment of the same goal. 
Every alumnus of old Union is truly a member of a world-wide 
organization, for Union's faithful alumni may be found in every 
part of the world. This was brought to my attention in a striking 
manner during our recent visit to the western coast. We met those 
with whom we had become acquainted at Union in nearly every 
place at which we stopped. 
Stepping onto the camp ground at Los Angeles one Sabbath 
afternoon, we met nearly a hundred Union alumni and former stu-
dents and friends. And wherever we meet these former students, 
we find that they are still interested in their Alma Mater and her 
work, and are giving their lives in self-sacrificing and efficient 
service for their Master. 
Among the many whom we met at Los Angeles were Prof. 
W. W. Ruble and Mr. W. D. Leech, of the class of '19. Professor 
Ruble has been Missionary Volunteer secretary of the Pacific Union 
Conference for the past year, and is now educational secretary as 
well. Mr. Leech is the science teacher at the Southern Junior Col-
lege at Ooltewah, Tenn. Dr. W. W. Worster, '11, is one of the in-
structors in our medical college at the White Memorial Hospital. 
At Loma Linda we found Drs. Donaldson and Herzer, who are 
professors of physiology and bacteriology at the medical school. 
We also found Mrs. A. C. Christensen and Miss Blanche Noble, '13. 
Professor Christensen is taking his second year of medicine, and 
Miss Noble is beginning the study of medicine this year. There 
The Educational Messenger �
23 
were also fifteen more Unionites in the large freshman class in 
medicine. Most of these were with us last year. 
At Berkeley we renewed acquaintances with Prof. W. G. Wirth, 
'11, for the past three years head of the Bible department at Pacific 
Union College, and with Professor and Mrs. R. 0. Hare, '10 and 
'13, who have served as principal and music teacher at Lodi Aca-
demy for the past two years. They are now studying to make 
themselves yet more efficient as laborers in Christ's vineyard. 
At Mountain View we visited with Mr. E. J. Smith, '15, who 
is in the book department of the Pacific Press. Miss Faye Felter, 
'19, is in the editorial department of the Press, and Professor Ren-
nings, who was our art instructor for two years, is doing the illus-
trating for the Signs of the Times Magazine and other literature 
published by the press. 
And thus it was that at every place we stopped we found those 
whose hearts were bound to old Union by bonds of friendship and 
admiration. May we all strive to honor the name and uphold the 
ideals of our Alma Mater, and dedicate our lives to the fulfillment 
of Union's great purpose—the giving of the message of uplift and 
life to a waiting world. �

Promises 
Promises are queer things, much queerer than people think. They 
seem so very abstract, when really they are quite concrete. The 
old darky, when given a free lecture on broken promises, said, "De 
trouble wid dem promises, boss, is dat dey ain't made out ob de right 
stuff." That is the unfortunate thing about promises—they break 
altogether too easily. And that isn't the worst of it either. When 
they once break, the pieces refuse to fit together again, and there 
isn't a glue on the market yet that will mend them. The American 
Boy says: "If you have your choice between breaking a promise and 
breaking a leg, break the leg," which is just another way of saying 
that nothing is more disastrous than a broken promise. In order to 
keep your self-respect you must keep your promises. The best way 
to do that is to make no promises that you do not expect to keep, and 
none you will probably forget. If you make a promise, put forth 
every possible effort to keep it. If you do not, you are the loser. 
There happens to be a student in our college of whom it has been 
said, "If he said he would, it is as good as done." Now, that 
student is popular in a true sense— "worth his weight in gold," we 
say. Let's begin to manufacture unbreakable promises. �

Faculty Reception 
The annual reception given by the 
Union College faculty was held in the 
College chapel Saturday evening, Sept-
ember 18, at 8 o'clock. 
As the students approached the re-
ceiving line, they were introduced to 
the president of the school by Miss 
Nola Beardsley and Mr. Benton Wil-
cox. The time was spent in getting 
acquainted, until the line of students 
encircled the chapel. By this time 
there were few who were fortunate 
enough to have escaped with less than 
a dozen new names, aching hands, and 
befogged brains. 
Professor Taylor was chosen as "the 
only one who could read the progam." 
President Morrison was first called 
upon to speak. The rest of the pro-
gram consisted of a piano solo by Miss 
Ethel Threlkeld; a speech of welcome 
to the new students by Miss Volga 
Jacobson, who represented the girls, 
and one by Mr. Schacht, who represen-
ted the boys; a response by Mr. Varner 
Anderson in behalf of the new stu-
dents; and a violin solo by Professor 
Engel.

MRS. EXE. "I don't believe that 
music-teacher can make anything out 
of Katherine's voice." 
MR. EXE. "You're mistaken. He's 
made over a hundred dollars out of it 
already."

To a Five-dollar Bill 
Crinkle, crinkle, little bill; 
Goodness gracious, you look ill! 
Are you losing all your power? 
You seem weaker hour by hour. 
"Now that prices are so high. 
I'm so tired that I could die. 
I just circulate all day; 
No one dares put me away. 
"When the evening board is set 
With the fruits of father's sweat, 
My small voice is hushed and still—
I am in the butcher's till. 
"And no matter where I go, 
People disregard me so; 
I don't seem to count for much 
'Mongst the profiteers and such." 
Bill, take heart, your luck may 
change, 
I'll admit the times are strange. 
Though you're weak I love you still—
Crinkle, crinkle, little bill.

From Our Exchanges 
The ideal can only be reached by plodding faithfully along the 
road of small duties. -- Young People. 
If we go round and round, thinking the same thoughts, doing 
just the same things the same way, just turning round and round in 
our places, we are going to get smaller and evaporate. 
—Student Idea. 
Men must fill positions because they themselves are capable, and 
not through heriditary honor. �
—Blackstonian. 
Do not go through life with handicaps that may be removed. 
Do not shorten your life, reduce your earning capacity and capacity 
for enjoying life, by neglecting your bodily condition. 
—Medical Evangelist. 
The visions we have today are an index to what we shall accom- 
plish tomorrow. �
—Studonian. 
The cultivation of the mastery of the tongue, the correct and 
forceful use of words, leads a man on, step by step, to success. 
—Student Movement.
