A Wise Way To Review a
Real Difficulty
By Bishop

THE. EVENING STORY
(Copyright, 1918, by W. Werner.)
President Harvy Pratt Judson, of the
University of Chicago, has made a vig
orous deliverance recently in favor of
shortening the college courses. He
thinks also that seven grades are quite
sufficient for the preparatory schools.
He insists that as -the courses of study
in preparatory schools and colleges are
now constituted, the student who wishes
to take a professional course after go
ing to college is compelled to wait too
long before he gets his professional ed
ucation. I
In all this contention President Jud- 1
son is right in the main. Many influ
ences have contributed to bring to pass:
in this matter a bad state of things.
' The public high schools, supported;
by state, county, and municipal taxa
tion, conform their courses most justly:
to the needs of the majority of their!
students, and a majority of their stud-1
ents do not intend to go to college at!
all. Whatever education these students;
obtain Is completed with their work in j
the high school. Most naturally these;
high schools undertake to give them asj
much as possible. Moreover the classes!
are larger in these tax-supported high!
schools and the element of personal at- j
tenlton to each pupil in their classes isj
f greatly diminished. The most apt and
the i#ost dull boys must be carried
along mechanically in the same classes,
and the courses which they cover are
curved more towards commerce than to-
» wards culture.
Again, in schools of every sort in
the United States there has prevailed
in recent years a manja for what is
called “raising the standard.” Gram
mar school teachers, high school teach
ers, instructors in medical schools, and
the faculties of law schools, have all
fallen under this spell, and all have de
manded “courses of four years length.”
Students have been sacrificed to steeple
chase races in which the schools have
vied with one another in cramming their
published courses with all sorts of sub
jects. By consequence the unreasonable
raising of courses has taken precedence
of the right rearing of men. An elab
orate system of taxidermy has been
practiced in the schools upon children
and youth, by which they have been
stuffed with a lot of scholastic saw
dust, until they have lost all their men
tal agility as Mark Twain’s famous
frog of Calaveras county lost his power
of Jumping by being filled with buck
shot.
It does not seem altogether wise for
the colleges to pursue the same process
of tunneling their students with all the
academic concoctions which impractical
school-men compound with a view to
making their departments look big in
the annual publications of courses of
study.
But there is one thing the colleges
ca ndo, and which they ought to do
to relieve the difficulty which President
Judson points out; they ought to pursue
steadily the policy of making their
terms fis short as possible (consistently
with good work, of course), and their
vacations as long as possible. Thereby
they woult^ reduce the expenses of a
college course, and give vacations of
such length that young men of limited
means would have time between terms
to make as much money as possible to
meet their college bills. The poorer
young men who attend colleges furnish
the over-whelming majority of the most
successful students, and the way
through college ought to be made as
easy as possible for them. If the acad
emic year could be reduced to seven
and a half months, the reduction of the
be of untold advantage to such young
men. Now the average length of the
college year in American institutions
•is ‘about eight and a half months—
f more than that of the English and
Scottish universities.
| _ But in view of the length of time
boys are required to continue in the
* grammar schools and high schools of
our country before they enter college,
the academic year can not be shortened
unless all needless, absences of students
from class-room work are rigidly prohib
ited. Inter-collegiate games, with all
the absences and distractions incident
to them, must be eliminated from col
lege life, or the terms must be length-
ed, or the amount of instruction given
be idminished. An average of a dozen
games a year is lower than that which
is allowed at most colleges in which
inter-collegiate sports are not prohib
ited. Three days are less than each
game will generally destroy for all pur
poses of study. Thus twelve games take
thirty-six days out of the college year;
and this is more than a month of the
year, which is worse than wasted.
The physical well-being of the stu
dents would not be. impaired by elimi
nating these inter-collegiate games.
Any college can arrange for games
enough on its own campus, and exercise
sufficient ii its own gymnasium to pro-
biskof w. a. candles.

vide most effectively for the bodily
health and development of its students.
Intercollegiate games, even if it were
established that they are entirely whole
some and perfectly free from physical
and moral perils, do nothing for any
students who are not connected with
the teams.
Besides the absences from college,
which they involve, these games lay
financial burdens upon young men of
limited means and upon parents who
are struggling at home to educate their
sons, which ought not to be imposed
upon them. The salaries of the “coach
es.” Which are often larger than the
salaries of the presidents of the col
leges, have to be paid. Railway and
hotel and other expenses must be met.
It is nothing to the purpose to say the
“gate receipts” meet all these demands.
As a matter of fact, the gate receipts
do not in most cases, and if they did,
there are grave objections to setting
young men to playing for gate receipts,
—objections which are abvious to all
right minded people.
Who shall end this evil? The col
lege authorities? Most of them pri
vately admit that intercollegiate games
are evil. The restraints and regula
tions, of which they try to minimize
the bad results of these games, show
how evil clings inseparably to inter
collegiate sports. But most of the
collegiate authorities are afraid to op
pose what they freely confess is in
jurious. There is an unreasonable and
vicious ambition in many of the col
leges to show large enrollments; there
seems to be more concern to exhibit
a great number of students than to do
work of the highest quality. Out of this
race for members on the rolls runs a
race of intellectual runts from these
colleges on graduation days. To get
members collegiate games are supposed
to be a means. Students, therefore, are
sent yelling over the land as advertisers,
as negro boys with placards on their
backs are sent crying through the
streets to advertise certain wares of
low class tradesmen or second rate
shows in the cities.
The young men of limited means, who
desire college education at a cost which
they can meet, can do much to arrest
this evil. Let them refuse to attend in
stitutions at which intercollegiate
games are allowed, and college authori
ties will take notice of the fact.
Parents, who are struggling to edu
cate their sons and practicing hard self-
denials to obtain the necessary funds
for the purpose, can do much to stop
this mania for intercollegiate games.
Let them refuse to patronize institu
tions which are willing that needless
financial burdens shall be Imposed upon
them, and the colleges will put away
speedily these “sports that kill.”
It is of the utmost importance to
the country, and especially to the south,
where most of the young men who use
college advantages well are poor, that
the academic year should be made short
er and the vacation longer. But this
can not be done in a college as long
as a considerable number of the stu
dents in the institution are absent from
college work on an average of mort
than a month during each scholastic
year.
It is time to value intercollegiate
games less and real education more.
Young men who make sport a serious
matter at school will probably make
sport of serious matters in after lifa.
Pamela Carr came out into her yard
holding a small shawl together about
her shoulders. The morning was still
fresh and there was a brisk little breeze
which made a shawl a necessity to an
old woman of something more than three
score years. Pamela had come out to
look at the dandelions. They had blown
over night, and the short, damp grass
was sprinkled with them. If some ple
thoric purse had burst and scattered its
golden contents throughout Pamela’s
yard there could not have been a braver
showing. Pamela sighed as she gazed
about her.
“If they was gold pieces now I’d
soon have my apron full,” she thought.
“And then—and then” she shook her
head, sadly. “But they ain’t gold pieces.
They’re just dandelions.”
She bent her stiff old back and picked
two or three of the perky blossoms.
With worn, knotted fingers she caressed
them gently. They felt like velvet. A
faint smile grew upon her face. She
had something of the same pleasure in
the flower that she had experienced in
her f^r away childhood, when every dan
delion was a prize and a handful of
them a precious hoard.
“Pretty little thing,” she murmured.
“I don’t know but it’s worth while be
ing hungry just to have you ’stid of a
yaller metal that men fight over. I
guess you ain’t ever brought anything
but pleasure into the world. That’s
I something to live for even if you ain’t
more’n a common dandelion.”
A movement, the glint of a tin pan
and the sound of an old voice quavering
\ out a stave from an old song inter-
; rupted her contemplation of the dan
delion. Beyond the fence, with its rank
overgrowth of blackberry vine®, was
i another yard the size of her own, sown
I just as plentifully with yellow disks.
: And there an old woman had appeared
; with knife and pan.
“She’s going to dig her a mess of
! greens.” Pamela thought. “Well, now!
Dandelion greens! They’d taste mighty

JOHN D/S PASTOR
IS CHARGED WITH
BE A TING FA THER
TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Sept. 15.—Four
members of the Hanley family late to
day were subpoenaed to appear before
the grand jury here Monday mqrning to
tell of the alleged assault made upon
Calvin Hanley, of Middleton, by his
son, President E. A. Hanley, of Frank
lin college. Those summoned were
President Hanley’s mother, his sister,
a brother, Oakley Hanley, and the lat
ter’s wife.
President Hanley tonight arrived
here from Indianapolis, where today he
issued a rtatement admitting that he
had switched and. spanked 1 his father.
H'; is a guest of the Rev. C. R. Par
ker, a member of the executive board
of Franklin college. The Rev. Mr. Par
ker, in a brief statement, said the ex
ecutive board had full confidence in Dr.
Hanley and that no hasty action would
be taken on the case.
Calvin Hanley was resting easy to
night and his physician said he did not
consider his condition serious.
Dr. Hanley is one of the leading edu
cators of Indiana and a former Bap
tist minister. At one time he was pas
tor of the John D. Hockefefellfr church
in Cleveland.
Dr. Hanley and his father were recon
ciled tonight when the son motored to
his father’s home. In the presence of
all the members of the family, the two
embraced and asked mutual forgiveness.
According to a friend who witnessed
the meeting, the father declared that he
had been spoiled by being allowed to
dictate to other members of his family.
Dr. Hanley later returned to Terre
Haute and departed on a late train for
Franklin.

I is I haven’t got the pork. And then
1 don’t know as I could eat ’em after
all my bothering. I don’t seem to have
no appetite lately. When your heart
is too full your stomach is apt to go
empty. I notice. Well, well, well!”
She watched the other old woman
j furtively. It would not do to let Ara-
1 minta Peck see ^her watching. Ara-
! minta apparently did not notice her,
i though there was scarce a stone’s
| throw between them. They had not spok-
| en in forty years. Yet all that time
' they had lived side by side on the same
street. The enmity which had sprung
up from one violent, youthful quarrel
had lasted well. It seemed likely to
outlast the old women themselves. Pa
mela was proud, but years had worn
down her resentment and she no longer
regarded Araminta as the woman she
had quarreled with and hated, but as
the one thing left that had accompanied
her out of the past. She had lost all
that she had started out with—friends,
relatives, husband, daughter—and she
was now alone in the world. She had
outlived all her contemporaries save
Araminta. And yet because they had
once vowed never to speak again they
did not speak.
“And we never will,” Pamela thought.
“Sometimes I feel just like giving in,
but I dassen’t, not knowing how she’d
take it. I’m pretty old for grudges
now-—pretty old. And pretty lonesome.”
Sighing again, she turned and entered
her house.
It was a tiny house which had
grown decrepit from neglect. Pamela
had come to it as a bride and had never
lived elsewhere. All her joys, sorrows,
hopes, had been experienced within these
four humble walls. Her child had been
born there; had been married there; her
husband’s body had been borne to its
grave over the low threshold. She had
seen youth pass and old age flower as
the lilacs outside the window. And now
she was waiting the last event of all.
The room she entered was poor and
bare. One by one things had given out
and been tucked out of sight. They
had not been replaced. There was no
money. The house itself was not hers.
Long ago it had been mortgaged and
the mortgage had been foreclosed. But
because the man who owned the mort
gage was rich enough to indulge in a
careless kindness now and then he had
let the old woman stay on, thinking, per
haps, it would not be for long. Pamela,
however, was a woman of the old race,
built for wear. She felt herself that
she might live on for a long time unless
the old stove -asphyxiated her or she
starved.
Yes, there was an actual possibility that
she might starve. She had very little
money, and she realized that it might
have to do her for years, perhaps. And
then there was her burying to look out
for. SJie would not accept charity. A
good rruyiy things had died out in Pamela
—things like her old resentment against
Araminta Peck, but her pride was still
big and strong.
She sat down in her rocking chair by
the window and rocked softly, cuddling
her dandelion greens she was gathering
for dandelion blossoms. She was thinking
about Araminta and the dandelion greens
she was gathering for her dinner. Pame
la wonderful dully about her own dinner:
There was tea and a little bread; no but-
rer, no milk.
“But pshaw, what’s the difference? I
don’t care for eating anyway.”
An automobile burred and honked up
the street and came to a stop before her
door. A man leaped out, ran up to Pa
mela’s door and knocked boldly. Pamela
hurried and opened the door.
“Good morning, Mrs. Carr,” said the
man. “I’m sorry to trouble you so early
in the morning. My name is Whitney
and I have bought this place of Mr. Van
Arsdale. I want to take possession at
once, and * I’ve come to see how long it
will be before you can vacate the prem
ises.”

He was young and his face was hard
although Pamela stared at him as if he
had struck ner.
“You want me to go away?” she asked,
dully.
“Yes, ma’am—soon as you can. I’ve got
a tenant ready to come in the first of the
month. And I’ll need some time before
that to make a few repairs.”
Pamela stood holding to her posies, her
old face white and drawn. Three times
she tried before any words would come.
“Why, I’ll go,” she faltered. “I’ll go,
“We wouldn’t fight much at our ages.”
of course.” She looked about the room
at the few remaining treasures, looked
ae she might have looked at her coffined
dead.
“All right, then. That’s all I want to
know. Will three or four days be long
enough for you?”
Pamela bowed her head. He lifted his
hat and turning ran back to his smart
roadster. Pamela shut the door and
fell back into a chair. The dandelions
slipped from her hands. She had
fainted.
She came to herself slowly with a
terrible realization of the threatening
calamity. She sat up and rubbed her
head. A voice seemed to cry to her
from every corner of her room: “You
must go! You must go!” And Pa
mela cried back, despairingly: “I’ve got
to go!”
So far was she out of her senses that
she did not consider how far that cry
carried. She did not dream that Ara
minta Peck could hear it as she prodded
after a particularly succulent dandelion
close to the fence—that Araminta, hav
ing heard it, left her dandelions and,
running round the fence, peered in at
the window, and that, seeing what there
was to see, she left the window and
went to the door.
Her entrance produced a shock that
startled everything but astonishment
out of Pamela’s head.
“Araminta Peck!” she exclaimed.
Aramita, vigorous and nimble still,
rushed to her and seized her hands.
“Pamela, let bygones be bygones,” she
said. "Come over and eat dandelion
greens with me. I’ve dug enough to
feed a regiment, and I hate to throw
’em away. We’ve et dandelion greens
together a good many times. There
ain’t any reason why:,.we shouldn’t eat
’em together again. Is there, Pamela?
Eh?”
“I don’t know as there is, Araminta.
I ain’t been mad at you this long
while.”
Araminta was shrewd and she knew
whom she had to deal with.
“Put on your shawl, Pamela, if
you’ve got your morning’s work done,
and come and earn your greens by
helping look ’em over. I guess we’ll
find something to talk about, consider
ing we’ve been saving ^ip our gab for
forty years.” j
She chuckled merrily. She had al
ways been noted for her gay spirits.
Cleverly she got Pamela out of one
house into the other. And over the
greens she gradually probed Pamela’s
confidence.
“I saw that automobile,” Araminta
said. ‘But, land, I never suspected
what that fellow was up to. Of course,
you don’t mind going, Pamela. ’Tain’t
been safe this good while for you to
live alone, or me either. I’ve been con
sidering taking in a lodger just for com
pany. If you ain’t settled on any other
place to go, Pamela, why don’t you bunk
in here with n^? I’ve got two empty
rooms that’ll hold all your things, and 4
guess”—she laughed—“that we wouldn’t
fight much at our ages. If we do,
you're the biggest.”
Across the pan of greens Pamela held
out a shaking old hand. Tears were
running down her cheeks.
“Araminta Peck, God bless you!” she
sobbed.
“Pshaw!” mumbled Araminta
But her hand clasp was very warm.

MEXICAN SITUATION GROWS
WORSE.
Tonight’s papers tell us that a great
many" Americans in Mexico have been
grossly maltreated, abused—raivished
and murdered lately, and the governor
of Texas is publishing some very
straight Talk on this subject. If the
restless and dissatisfied people of this
country can push the United States into
war it is surely going to be done, ere
“many moons shall wax and wane.”
Then we shall pay dearly for this rest
less and dissatisfied conduct and rash
ness.
War is a very dreadful thing to think
about, but it is especially horrible to
get into. If we get into a war with
Mexico, the border states will have
the brunt to bear, as to raids and pil
lage.
We will not, within a century, recover
from the losses that fell upon the
southern states in the fateful sixties.
Other people may muster up a war
spirit, and want *to fight some other
nation but here is one aged citizen that
has had enough. I hope to be delivered
from war.
Governor CJolquitt, of Texas, says
his state has nine hundred miles of hor
de rlines with Mexico, and there are
perhaps three times that distance with
border lines i of New Mexico, California
and other adjoining states. All that
country must be patrolled and picketed.
It will be hot work and dangerous, and
encumbered with guerillas and desperate
cut-throats. I can give no estimate as
to the business losses, but I am sure
there will be enormous expense—terri
ble waste'and uncertain results.
ANOTHER SIGN OP THE MILITARY
MILLENNIUM IN OUR LAND.
The reunion at Gettysburg, fifty
years from the time of the battle, was
one good indication of the growing har
mony between the north and south, and
the coming reunion of the G. A. R. at
Chattanooga, Tenn., which begins on
the 15th of tli© present month, will
mark another long step forward in the
same direction.
The Chattanoogans are preparing *or
a great time, and I have no doubt but
it will be a most pleasing event to the
citizens as well as the visitors. There
are so many battlefields around that
historic place*, with Lookout Mountain,
Miosion Ridge and Chickamauga in
close proximity, that five days will
barely suffice to give the army veter
ans full opportunity to visit and exam
ine the monuments of which there are
many, and full of interest to both the
blue and the gray. As it is the first
federal Grand Army reunion to be held
in any southern state, the outlook is
promising for a gala time. I hope
there will nothing occur to mar the
harmony of the gathering. In the com
ing days when all the actors are in
dust and nobody left to say, “I was
here,” or “My regiment was over
there,” there will be great satisfaction
in the thought that the Grand Army
could meet in its annual reunion and
everybody feel that it was good to be
there. '
I well remember those gloomy Sep
tember days in 1863, when the battle
of Chickamauga was on, and the rail
road trains were filled with wounded
soldiers and prisoners of war. I little
expected that I ever should be really
glad that Federal troops could be in
vited and entertained so near me. But
the joys of peace are great and glo
rious.
HOW THE PARMER PAYS THE
PIPER.
I did not understand until lately how
Liverpool cotton buyers could put it
over the poor southern cotton raiser.
When he brings hi^bale of cotton to the
weigher’s platform, ten cents is taken
off, and the farmer pays it—not the
buyer. The law now declares that the
owner must be sure to have his cotton
bale packed in first class order or $1
is deducted for failure to make
the ginner do his duty. When it gets
to Liverpool all charges must be paid
by the cotton before the Liverpool buy
er will buy it. Then he takes off 6
per cent of the bale’s weight for some
reason best known to himself.
Thirty pounds of lint cotton is de
ducted from every 500-pound bale in
Liverpool. If it weighs more, more
is deducted. If cotton sells at 12
cents per pound, there is $3.60 deducted
from the amount the bale sells for.
Therefore, the American buyer pays
just that much less than the cotton will
sell for in Liverpool, and the cotton pro
ducer has all the loss. If he sells it
at 12 cents in Cartersville, he is obliged
to pay for bagging and ties out of that
selling price, pay for ginning and pack
ing. He gets nothing for hauling to
market, then he pays 10 cents for weigh
ing, and lastly, he ismulcted $3.60 by
Liverpool buyers as soon as it gets
across the Atlantic ocean.
The cotton buyer holds the price down
in this country and then adds six-tenths
of a cent on every 10 cents worth of
cotton sold in Liverpool. Of course cot
ton buyers are in the business for the
money profit on the cotton, but the
burden falls on the man who raises the
cotton every time.
Don’t it make you tired?

Painting Bought for
Lifty-Six Cents May
Be Worth $200,000
(By Associated Press.)
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept.
15.—A paintisg which recently sold for
56 cents is on its way to the national
gallery of London from Melbourne, Aus
tralia, today, for confirmation of the
owner’s belief that it is worth $200,000
or more. Experts in Melbourne, says a
cablegram from there, have declared it a
genuine Rubens.
The canvas, known as “Thisby and
Pyramus,” now is the property of Dr. A.
J. Summers, of Australia, who purchas
ed it from a Melbourne vender recently
for $250. The vender said he had paid
56 cents for it.
When a woman suffering from some form of feminine
disorder is told that an operation is necessary, it of course
frightens her.
The very thought of the hospital operating table and the
surgeon’s knifij strikes terror to her heart, and no wonder.
It is,quite true that some of these troubles may reach a stage
where an operation is the only resource, but thousands of
women have avoiacd the necessity of an operation by taking
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. This fact is
attested by the grateful letters they write to us after their
health has been restored.
These Two Women Prove Our Claim.

great-granddaughter, ’ little Virginia

died August 30, in Unadilla, at the age
of ninety. He was well known in south
Georgia and much loved for his kind
ness, thoughtfulness and cheerful dis
position.
Cary, Maine.—“ I feel it a duty I
owe to all suffering' women to tell
what Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound did for me. One year ago
I found myself a terrible sufferer.
I had pains in both sides and such a
soreness 1 could scarcely staighten
up at times. My back ached, I had
no appetite and was so nervous I
could not sleep, then I would be so
tired mornings that I could scarcely
get around. It seemed almost im
possible to move or do a bit of work
and I thought I never would be any
better until I submitted to an opera
tion. I commenced taking Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and
soon felt like a new woman. I had
no pains, slept well, had good appe
tite and was fat and could do almost
all my own work for a family of
four. I shall always feel that I owe
my good health to your medicine.”
—Mrs. Haywabd Sowers, Cary, Me.
Charlotte, N. C—’“I was in bad
health for two years, with pains in
both sides and was very nervous. If
I even lifted a chair it would cause
a hemorrhage. I had a growth which
the doctor said was a tumor and I
never would get well unless X had
an operation. A friend advise^ me
to take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegeta
ble Compound, and I gladly say that
I am now enjoying fine health and
am the mother of a nice baby girl.
You can use this letter to help other
suffering women.”—Mrs. Rosa Sims,
16 Wyona St., Charlotte, N. C.
Now answer this question if you can. Why should a wo
man submit to a surgical operation without first giving Lydia
E Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound a trial ? You know that

Girls! Try it! Your hair gets
soft, fluffy and luxuriant
at once.
If you care for heavy hair, that
glistens with beauty and is radiant
with life; has an Incomparable softness
and Is fluffy and lustrous, try Danderlne.
Just one application doubles the beau
ty of your hair, besides it immediately
dissolves every particle of dandruff; you
canruot have nice, heavy, healthy hair
if you have dandruff This destructive
scurf robs the hair of its lustre, its
strength and its very life, and if not
overcome it produces a feverishness
and itching of the scalp; the hair roots
famish, loosen and die; then the hair
falls out fast.
If your hair has been neglected and
is thin, faded, dry, scraggy or too
oily, get a 25-cent bottle of Knowlton’s
Danderine at any drug store or toilet
counter; apply a little as directed and
ten minutes after you will say this was
the best investment you ever made.
We sincerely believe, regardless of
everything else advertised, that if you
desire soft, lustrous, beautiful hair and
lots of it—no dandruff—no Itching
scalp and no more falling hair—you
must use Knowlton’s Danderine. If
eventually^why not now?
