The want of belief is a defect which ought to be Sw ' concealed where it cannot be overcome.—Swift WHY WOMEN EXCEL MEN AT COLLEGE Since co-education has become general in the col leges and universities of the country, the young wo men show a superiority over their brothers who are on the same equality and enjoying the advantages and opportunities of every facility afforded by the institutions. Recently at Harvard, where a series of intelligence tests were given to 107 students and 87 girl undergraduates at Radcliffe, the girls wop a ranking 4.5 per cent higher than the college men. These figures have been made public by members of the faculty in charge of the test. Dr. A. A. Robuck, of Harvard, stated that the av erage intelligence of girls in colleges was higher than that of the men. He attributed this condition to a more careful process of selection on the part of the-parents, sending girls to college, while many men "go to college merely because it is the thing.” There is much in that presumption on the part of the pro fessor. So many young men enter college without a' serious thought of the future and what it has in store for them. They are unprepared and without the proper consideration of the importance and re sponsibility resting upon them for their future, With many of them it is merely a frolic and when the time hns come for them to be prepared for the struggles of life, they are without training or foundation to meet nnd overcome the obstacles which we all must experience during life. When collego days have end ed the trials of real life commence and if we have not prepared ourselves failure is bound to be our fate. The girl who enters college does so with n determi nation to succeed and fit herself for some profession or business and when she has ended her college days she has gained something from the training and edu cation received which will fit her for a useful nnd successful life. Applying herself and devoting her energies to secure that which has been provided for her, little escapes her efforts to store away in the cells of her brain that which Is an asset for her fu ture success and the making of a capable and stable business or professional woman. - The difference between the woman and the man is clear. The Harvard professor diagnre-cs the caso correctly; investigation in practically all cases will prove his analysis to be sound, sane and authorative- ly stated. IMPROVED HIGHWAYS COMMUNITY BUILDERS The vhluo of improved highways cannot be over cstimnted in the development and growth of com munities through which they traverse. Here aro sev eral pithy arguments in favor of increased highway improvement which are taken from an exchange published in Colorado. It says: The highway is not simply a road. It is n*t simply a surface. It is the assurance of the civilising influence of better communication between section!. It is a silent, but persistent factor for the re duction of living costs. It is an humble, but powerful foe of ignorance for the reason that it makes easily accessible our . splendid system of public schools to the people of rural districts. It is a safeguard of our food supply. It is a -norantee to the public against the prostrating influence of industrial uphevai and interrup tion to distribution therefrom. It is the popular open air theatre of enjoy ment of the family. It is the textbook of nature to our people. It is the connecting link between the .home and the factory. It is the call to open air; the great pyhsician who makes no charge for his services. The people who are opposed to good roads oppose them for the same reason that some peo ple oppose our great - public school Bystem— they are not informed. Highway development has done more to Increase the value of farm lands than any other Improvement. In fact it has brought the markets of the country to the door of the farmers. Good roads and automo biles are the life of commercial and agricultural in dustries and to these two agencies this country owes, in a great measure, its wonderful growth and de velopment during the past few years. Paved highways and public schools are the great est assets a country can have. With this condition comes prosperity; satisfaction to all and better cit izenship. Build better highways, public schools and churches and the rest of good things in life are bound to come. } friend, who again .commented upon field free from weevils but swarms' ‘ hfs untidy appearance. camo from other farms and ‘•What does it matter?” waa -the day* the stalks were nlye wit replY.
