There is very little compromise or middle ground.

T he second class will include nearly all college students. football As is the objectionable feature to some, so is it one of the attractive features to others; and because this element is so often the theme of written dis cussion upon the subject, is the real significance of the game much ob scured. the danger element in Football is- urged is the logical evolution of the forces that have been at work in college life for the past two dec If, in objection to the game, ades. it that players are often seriously injured, it can likewise be the demands made by urged that the institutions upon educational students often mental capacity of prove harmful and the occasional nervous breakdown of a student shows the reasonableness of the lat times are as ter statement. they are, strenuous in every aspect and the need for reform in methods of mental is probably as great as is the need for reform in It methods of physical cannot be truthfully said that foot ball represents an extreme which has nothing to correspond with it on the mental side of college life. training. training T he the As regards the individual player, the game has many redeeming qual It trains the eye in quickness, ities. teaches one to restrain temper trying circumstances and to under work in harmony with others. It is also an aid to memory. No numb skull can play the highest quality of football. But beyond all this there is a more important consideration* T he game affords an opportunity for the expression of what may be the social emotion, a very termed important in college life of the present day.

T he only way intercol legiate contests can be successful is for each one to show a real interest in them. T he plea made at M. A.

T he Michigan School Modera tor in commenting on the work says: " This is a new line of study, there being, so far as is known, but one other course in any American college that so fully discusses rural prob lems from the social point of view. It would seem as if such a course should be found in all the agricul tural colleges, as well as in the uni versities, normal schools and thelog- ical seminaries. '92-'94. Geo. Baker has been Senator of nominated Twelfth District. as State in '95. Guy L. Stewart is in charge of agricultural interests in the office of Industrial A g e nt Baltimore & Ohio R. R., with headquarters at this Baltimore. He has succeeded two localizing about summer thousand acres of apple orchards, all in large tracts. He is also instru mental in encouraging farmers along the B. & O. line to produce crops adapted the soil. As a result, trees have been set fifty under his direction. T he fruit from one of the large orchards is to have a decided innovation in the handling. T wo large automobile wagons to carry 1600 lbs. each have been con to thousand tracted for and will convey the fruit to the railroad, nine miles distant.

On Friday morning, October 17, a party of delegates from the Y o u ng Christian Association, W o m e n 's accompanied by Mrs. Haner, left the college for Ypsilanti to attend the state convention of the associa tion. After a very pleasant trip by way of Ann Arbor and the electric line, we arrived in Ypsilanti about T he one o'clock in the afternoon. entertainment that committee of place had everything pleasantly arranged, and we were assigned rooms and boarding places without delay. T he first meeting we attended was a college conference led by Miss Simms, our own state secre tary. It would be impossible to tell about the many good things we re ceived, or of all the meetings we attended. Each day three sessions the morning, after were held, in noon and evening, and each one was an inspiration in itself. T he most prominent speaker of the convention was Miss E m ma Silver, a missionary in Shanghai, China.- This is M;SS Silver's first visit to the United States since going to China, seven years ago. She is a woman of remarkable strength and beauty of character, refined, gentle, and womanly in every sense of the word. T he brightness of her conse crated life shines from her face, and that hers just to see her is to know the master, but is no lip service for one of daily kind acts and purity.

An illustration was given of a piece of apparatus used to show, as nearly as possible, the actual conditions of affairs going on in the tissue—par ticularly that of leaves—during the lowering of the temperature to and below the freezing point. It was shown that, as freezing goes on in a leaf, minute crystals of ice are formed in the intercelluar spaces; the water to form these crystals being extracted is or forced from the living cells ad frozen joining. W h en a plant the cells have lost water. W h en a frozen plant is thawed rapidly, the intercelluar spaces become rilled with the water, and this gives the leaf appear translucent "water-logged ance which it usually has after being thawed. If, however, the thawing be done very slowly, the cells may be capable of re-absorbing the water as fast as it is formed from the melt ing ice, and if so, there will be little or tissue.
