There are three types of college citi zens: the dishonest, destructive citizen who breaks the law; the narrow, hypocritical citizen who lives by the law, but takes advantage of every loop-hole to satisfy her selfish whims; the upright, clear-visioned citizen wno not only observes the law, but who ap preciates the spirit back of it. It doesn't take a brilliant mind to disobey a rule, or to find the loop holes through which the true meamng of tne rule may be violated, but it does take an understanding, far seeing mind to appreciate and live in accor dance witn Uie spirit that underlies it. The same holds true in regard to pledges. Here and there about the campus one can hear criticisms con- cermng our Student Seit-Government pledges. What is this or that condi tion stressed? Why is it worded in this or that manner? Again, these are not the things that count. Mere words are inadequate to put over an idea as big as Student Self-Govern ment. Do you understand i^s motive ? Can you fall in line and carry-on the spirit that called it into being? Then it will become the easy and natural thing to uphold to rules of your asso ciation. Georges Carpentier, heavyweight champion boxer of Europe, was knock ed out by Siki, a Senegalese, in the sixth round of what v/as to have been a twenty-round bout. Henry Ford ordered all his indus tries to reopen at midnight (October /th) following a movement of large supplies of coal to Detroit. The Fora plants have been closed five days. The city of Philadelphia has decided to celebrate the one hundredth and fif tieth anniversary of American Inde pendence in the form of an intema- jonal exposition. The centennial of American Independence is a glamour and memory of 18Y6, a tradition in every American home. Every Amer ican citizen should lend support to this exposition and it is probable that Ger many and Great Britain will also aid in this undertaking. AS TIME PASSES. That people are waking up to the necessity of educating our city oft'i- cials-of-tomorrow, in the matter oi civic duties, is evidenced by the fact that in one place a junior police force has been formed. It is of boys from twelve to fourteen and they are allowed at the regular meetings of of ficial policemen. A few years from now these juniors will be directing traffic and taking our numbers quite as efficiently as our present “cops". The New York Department of Education is realizing the importance of finding the proper method of teach ing the basic facts of our national story. It is necessary to consider the immature minds of the masses who, for the most part, never go beyond the seventh or eighth grade. This majority craves romance and worships heroes rather than statistical tables, there fore the emphasis is placed on Paul Revere, Pocahontas and the voyages of Columbus.' The Department is working for instruction of the children in more fundamental facts. water and ice, the sugar we eat and the pies and cakes we enjoy represent coal. And this precious article is causing trouble today; see if you can’t look into the matter and help. POST NO BILLS! says New York in certain parts of the city. This is another evidence of the elevating and beautifying tendency we notice lately. Did You Know This? Enough gasolene is being wasted every year in this country to run a Ford 1,440,000,000 miles, the equiva lent of more than seven round trips between the earth and sun.

He spoke of his pleasure in going over the buildings and in specting the rooms. Upon the t'reshmen. Dr. Rondthaler with a few well chosen but inspiring words, im pressed the importance of conforming in every way to the standards and ideals of Salem.
