' I The time is coming, If it is not already here, when the college which can tett prospective students that it haa the best football coach in tbe troHd wijl be the one who will get the major poytion of the patronage of fhebofi ion and the elect. There was a time when colleges were operated for the benefit of the young men who desired to increase their store of knowledge, but that time is rpaidly passing. Now the name ami fame of the college hangs upon its football coach, its football team and it Is often the ease that the football coach draws twice as lhrge a salary as the professors of t{ie various de partments in that college and in many cases draws a larger salary than the president of tbe institution. Hail to football, monarch of games, king of the college course. Down at Raleigh they have even gone so far as to say that the state fair was killed as dead as a door-nail; so to speak, for next season on ac count of the fact that the University of North Carolina and the State Col ic** events couldn’t agree to meet there during their annual game. We liave read many alleged “in* stories" of football and if they, are, to be believed, the game in many , instances, is used merely as a money ’ making proposition and the old theo ry of “athletics” is not even consider ed. football is a good game, a manlv game. We like it. But footbail should not be allowed to rtile su preme in our colleges, no more than should baseball or tennis or polo or poger playing or crap shooting or any other game. 7 Our colleges are intended for the dissemination of learning. When they fail to do that, when they fail to hold that as the original princi ' Pl<\ these colleges are not fulfilling their djuty to the public, to tbeir pu pils or to themselves. Football is well enough in its place and it should bo kept in that place. Getting Action When Action is Need ed. , Durham County Progress. A durham preacher who has been putting bis heart and soul into the work that he has been doing but who bas been preaching (o a lot of hdte warm and self contented mem bers of his congregation, decided re cently to put the matter right up to them and to see whether they want ed to rouse out of their spiritual and physical Slumber and do some thing or whether they wanted to continue as they were. If they did, he bad made up his mind that another pastor was just what they needed. Look here, you folks.” said the pastor, “I’ve been fighting the devil here for a long while, i’ve been hammering sin and shouting about doing great things for the master and you have been sitting bnck in .your pews and letting me do all the work. You have given me no support j except your sanction of whatijpiave . »ss-JhaL I going to get it? Are you going to do your port and help carry on the work that I am trying to do, or are you going to sit and snooze and al low me to continue to go on as I have been doing? If you are, I’m through.” • That congregation sat up and looked as though they had been subbed with a bolt of lightning. By £ogb they had been awakened out of tbeir sleep and it didn't Uke them many minutes to assure their pastor that they were with him heart and ■pul, brain and brawn and would do their share. If a few other pastors in Durham would adopt the Uctic of that one mentioned above a few more ot the ten tbonsand men, women and young folks in this town who have j their names on the church register .would become more than mere figure heads in the work which is to be and can be done. 1 That pastor is due to go far.
