CUTTEN, President Colgate University. OT for centuries has there been such an upheaval in education as in the last twenty-fiv- e years. We are putting more emphasis now upon the boy and less upon the subject. Boys work harder in college now than they ever did, despite the observations of alumni who feel that college is easier now than when they were students. Occasionally, it is true, a loafer gets into college, but he usually doesnt fctay long. The principal object of the modern college is to make a mans education worth something to him. The educational program today is not only changed, but is better. We are trying to analyze things and see where we are. For one We we have are to the student. learned that profit by thing, analyzing his college work a student needs intellect, and we have tried to measure Then we are trying to analyze the intellect of applicants for admission. We have learned that discipline does not necessarily the curriculum. come from study ; that a man is not good merely because he had been working at something. We have been applying business methods, you might almost say, to our courses; estimating what their cost is to us, and whether there is sufficient profit in on educational sense to justify them The third thing we are trying to analyze is the faculty. This is the hardest of all, because the analysis must be made by the faculty itself. A surprising thing in this connection is that I often find the older men keenest for the change, and most willing to put themselves out almost to any extent to further the cause of better education. It has often been said that the main interest in college among alumni is inspired by athletics. Athletics provide a rallying point for loyalty and enthusiasm which nothing else can do, but a college has a right to expect from its alumni, interest in, intelligent criticism of, and loyalty to, its educational program. tt&ALATZMT' Street, at the North End of Boston A Collection of Psalm Tunes In two three and four part from the most Celebrated Authors; fitted to all Capital measures and approved by the best Masters In Boston, New England To which are added some Hymns and Anthems; tha greater Part of them never before printed In America Set in score by Joslab Flagg, engraved hv Paul Re- f BY ELMO SCOTT WATSON through th night rod Paul Revere, And (O through tha night went hi err of alarm To (very Middlesex village and farm, A ery of defiance and not of fear, A vole In the darkneee, a knock at the door.

LTHOUGU Longfellow was writing In a figurative sense when he predicted that The people will waken and listen to hear . . (he midnight message of Paul Revere, It Is literally true that every year Paul Revere rides again. For April 19 Is Patriots Day, and In two states, Maine and Massachusetts It Is observed as a holiday In Boston crowds gather In North Square and Elliott Square to see two riders, impersonating Paul Revere and William Dawes, start on their ride through the Middlesex towns to Concord and the citizens of those towns greet them with patriotic exercises. Although Paul Revere seems destined to go down Into history as a "midnight rider and as such will always be remembered by Americans, the, fact Is that he had many other accomplishments which probably would have made him famous even had he not made his spectacular Journey on horsebnik. But how many Americans know what these accomplishments were, or, for that matter, know much more about him than the Ideas gleaned from Longfellow's poem? In the first place his name was not really Revere at all. tie was the son of a Frenchman named A polios Rlvore who Anglicized It to Paul Revere when he came o America to learn the goldsmiths trade. The elder Revere married Deborah Hlchborn, a Boston girl In 1704. On January 1, 1735, Deborah celebrated the New Tear by presenting A polios with a son. Perhaps neither father nor mother realized that this one of their twelve children was destined to become such a famous man. Young Paul learned his fathers trade and eventually became one of the best designers and mechanics In gold and silversmithing. Today some of the most highly-prizepossessions of New England families are old silver cups, spoons, mugs, tankards, pitchers aud other various articles hearing beautiful patterns which were designed and made by Paul Revere. Not content with his eminence In this profes Sion, Paul turned his hand to other activities. Some one has said he wa t,he original do it now man, for he never permitted himself to get into a rut. He tackled many tasks and finished them all." For lustatue, In 1770 he turned to soldiering and as second lieutenant took part in the expedition against the French at Crown Point. His trade as a gold and sNversmith led him to experiment In copperplate engravings and without the benefit of instruction he soon became the fore most engraver In America. In fact, Revere may projwly be termed the father of American cartooning, for his first production as an engraver was an allegorical representation of the d Church Facing Crisis in Shift of Population in the Great Cities By REV. W. W. PICKETT vere. Although Longfellow made his ride to Concord famous, the fact Is that he had previously taken others which were more remarkable and fully as important as that one, even though they were not so spectacular. He was selected by the Committee of Correspondence to carry the news of the Boston Tea Party to New York and Philadelphia and, leaving Boston on December 17, he reached Philadelphia the day after Christmas. Uls next ride was to carry a message in regard to the Boston Port Bill, which became a law on March 1, 1774. On this occasion he broke all horseback records to Philadelphia, reaching there in less than six days. But one Stamp Act dispute.

We are facing an emergency and a crisis. So long as American society was dominantly rural, Christianity was a dominant influence. But with the movement of population to the large cities, the church failed to maintain its civic and social influence, and the city is pagan, with spots of Christianity. Now there is a movement equally as important toward the suburbs, which will transform the entire texture of city life. Is this generation of the church going to fail to capture the suburbs as the generation of our fathers failed to capture the city? Millions are moving out to territory where there are no churches. The problem that we must decide is whether these great sections of the metropolitan area shall The suburbs must have the help grow up as Christian or of the established institutions of the city, and unless we take steps to win the suburban areas we will be faced with a steady diminution of the churchs power in the city. Advertising Belittles Piety; Church Not Mutual Society for Benefit of Good Dont drag your private experiences into the limelight of your religion, for that is to be as the hypocrites are. Ilypociisy is the besetting sin of religious folk. Personal religion is the one commodity in life about which it may be said it does not pay to advertise. Religion, like science or art, ha its technique which is mastered by those who really desire the end in view. The man who seeks righteousness must be willing to undergo the training essential to his vocation. Christ emphasizes the necessity of almsgiving, prayer and fasting as exercises essential to religion.
