New Point of View
on Education
“Tho college student is not neces-
sarily tho cream of the hand." says
Arthur E. Morgan. President of An-
tioch College. _
”Tho [00,000 college students in
Merlot are representative." he
continues. "of about the top 20 per
cent of tho intelligence and quality
of the country. For every student
in oollogo there are four boys or
girls of.college age. of equal intelli-
gence, who do not go to college."
President Mo an's article is on
tho typo of odor: ion Worked out at
Antioch. which is in Yellow Springs.
Ohio. There the course is six years
long and students spend alternate
periods in college study and in
working for industrial and commer-
cial concerns. The work provides
them with a large part of the money
necessary for their education. and
develops certain traits of character
that th0.c0llt'go believes are fully as
important as a knowledge of Greek.
Latin and n."..i..matics.
"it is rr'n.triml~le.” ‘vrltes Mr.
Morgan. "l‘l'lldl limitations of per-
sonality are ill‘t‘l‘plt'd by students as
final. They l‘iIHl" to us lacking in-
dependenCo :ind self-confidence. and
accept these its ultimate traits of
personality. “'0 have to teach them
that such limitations can be inedi-
fled or removed. These underlying
qualities of pv‘rsonailty are Just as
susceptible of development as is
abilit‘ in mathematics. in chemis-
try. Or in Jnmzuage."
Ifs lists some of the personal
qualities thnt Antioch considers as
important as the subjects Just men-
tioned. They include sound health.
practical Judknio-nf. self-reliance. re-
sponsibility. knowledge of men and
affairs. moral and spiritual incen-
tives. Initi'lllli‘. courage. adaptabil-
ity. persistent e. tm-t. lift-onomic in-
dependence, nnd a knowledge of"
general life and culture outside their
own calling that keeps the students
from being nwr specialized are two
wry important qualities the college
proposes to develop in its matricu-
lates.
“To spend four years at college
learning that the world owes one it
living is not neeersnrily the best
training for a young man or “'0-
man." the president suggests. in em-
phasizing the responsibility educa-
tors should have for training stud-
ents into broad-minded. effective
men and women of affairs.
Antioch requires that students
who are studying the sciencrs shall
also spend it. (ertnin amount of
time on the arts and literature.
Science “unvontrolled by spiritual
motives" writes President. Morgan.
of the present sm-lal trend. “might
build a Frankenstein monster that
would destroy elvillzation."
All in nil not a bad point of view
which proiltuliiy might be adopted
by other American institutions of
higher learning.

The last surviving bank in Shelby.
Montana that contributed of its re-
sources to make the Dempsey- Gib-
bons fight in that Rocky Mountain
cow town a reality. has failed. l'he
heavyweight champion and his man-
ager and hangers on will spend or
invest .iightly the more than a quar-
ter of a million dollars which -iiey
squeezed out of Shelby. but the peo-
ple of Shelby. and other regions; of
Montana. will not be likely to forget
the affair for some time. I-Jvrry
loyal citizen joined the pool of r--
sources, to make it possible to hold
the bout in that small town. in the
hope of putting Shelby on the map.
and now every loyal citizen is in too
pool of losses.

million or half million purses. rl-mn
lie is to meet the man from the
Argentine. Fi'rpo. and after that he
must meet the black man. ll trry
Wiiir. from the New Orleans witnrii.
A llridgcport man of the somewhat
hazy profession of "matchmaker"
has an ambition to arrange this lat-
ter bent for Bridgeport. He says the
only thing required now is the -.-l.c-
tion of the governor. relative to
staging the bent in Bridgeport.
it does not appear what part the
governor is to have in this affair, The
statute establishing a state athletic
commission gives to this body "sole,
direction. management. control of
and Jurisdiction over all boxing ex-
hibitions or wrestling bouts to he
conducted. held or given within til;-
state." and the ('nnl'lllrlsihli “m'iv .21
its discretion issue and at its pleas-
ure revoke any permit." The uu-
thorily which the governor has as
executnc is expresrly delegated to
the athletic commission.
If the ambitious "matchmaker"
would arrange the bout here. he
would first be required to file with
the commission a bond sufficient to
cover the 5 per e: at. that which the
Strto woulo gel item the grate re—
eeipts. and in the case of such a
tout. the loud would be in the
neighborhood of 850.000.
Boxing is a legitimate sport in
Conneetirut. and any legitimate
bout may be held here under the
conditions laid down. But Bridge-
port docs not need any heavyweight
high financing orgy to put it on the
map. and if the bout is to be pro-
moted. it will interert Bridgeport-
ers purely as a flstic proposition.
and not as a business proposition.
The, champion and his hangers on
may be counted on to-domlnate the
financing. and since Bridgeport is no
Shelby. it remains to be seen just
how much the local "matchmaker"
will consider the affair for this city.

If your small son asks you to
bring him a book from the library.
you will not take him Arthur
Train's "His Children‘s Children"
(Scribner) under the impression. on
the strength of the title, that it
might be. interesting to a ten-year-
old. and find upon opening it that
it is a most sophisticated story of
the mental and 'moral decline of an
American family who had been left
with a superahundanee of money
and no responsibilities. 'You may
find this entertaining. but the small
son would much prefer "The Bur-
gess Flower Book for Children." by
Thornton Burgess. (Little. Brown).
It is a Peter Rabbit book. in which
Peter takes the lead and pilots the
boys and girls through iields and
dells telling them interesting stories
of the plants and flowers they come
upon. There are more than n. hun-
dred illustrations—”plain and col-
ored—so even little four-year-olds
who haven't learned to read can
identify the flowers they find. and
for the older children there is an
appendix of botanical information.
Aside from this the volume lays no
claim of being a botanical tonic.
Not only the children but also those
who read it to them will enjoy it.

H. 0. Wells' "Men Like Gods."
Macmillan published it early in ;the

opportunity to secure it you have a
pleasure in store for you. It is the
story of a party of Earthlings who
were suddenly projected into Uto-
pia. Their own astonishment was
quite equalled by that of tho Uto-
pians whose planet had not known
such creatures since their last “Act?
of Confusion." some three hundred
generations ago. “There. estab-

New Enghnd Suspect.
Some of the members of congre-
from the West. notably Senator Ill-
ram Johnson of California. are re-
ported to be much disturbed over
what they are pleased to (all the
supremacy of New England in the
councils 'of the republic. W'hat ap-
pears to have brought this menace
to the point herwe it could be for-
mulated is the advancement of Cal-
vin Coolidge of Massachusetts to the
presidency. That is the straw that
laid the restlem camel low.
The charge brought agdinst New
England of having a bunch of its
men in positions of power-ts true.
Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts is
President of the United States. Mr.
Gillette of Massachusetts is Speaker
of the House of Representatives
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts is
chairman of the Committee on For-
eign Relations. Senator Brande-gee
of Connecticut will soon be chairman
of the Judiciary Committee. Sens-
tor McLean'of Connecticut is chair.
man of the Committee on Banking.
Chief Justice Taft is a resident of
the city of New Haven. There are
other New Enklandcrs , occupying
important positions in the two hous-
es of congress but these mentioned
are men of real power in the three
‘branches of government. the execu-
tive. legislative and Judiciary. There
has been no conspiracy about this.
of course. since all but Mr. Coolidge
and Mr. Taft reached their positions
thrOugh the seniority rule just as
many another member from the west
has profited by it. It has been New
England's habit to keep useful men
in office. It has no patent on the
practice. The west is at liberty to
do the same thing as it did in the
case of Major McKinley and Uncle
Joe Cannon. to mention but two of
a very large number of able men.
' What is ther about us here in New
England that In Johnson and other
intellectually merit this reputation
unless it is that we are too old to be
caught with the political gun that is
peddled out in more loosely settled
communities elsewhere? Yes. we
have a conservative temperament.
but that twat because we are afraid
to try experiments or even to endure
with patience the experiments un-
dertaken in other sections of the
country. New England views all ex-
periments in the light of a long and
honorable experience which has
made it the land of steady habits and
profound faith .in the wisdom of the
Fathers. Perhaps the trouble is
that: the ‘Hl John-ens don't scare us
to death. We have seen quite a num-
ber of bold crunders and emotional
reformers take a trick at the wheel
and run ashore on their little ships
‘cf imaginary state. and we. take
amusement 'ln new ventures. If the
west dislikes New England so much.
we wish their people would stop
blocking traffic on our streets with
their tri mmotor arm—New Haves.»
