A PLEA FOR THE STUDY OF ECONOMICS. To the Editor of T HE R E C O R D: T he writer of this article has at various times inquired of educators why more time is not devoted, in institutions with which they were connected, to the study of economics; and he has always received practi cally the the same answer—that courses of study are so crowded that more time cannot be devoted to this subject. Tnis he believes to be a serious error, on the part of educa tors, as to the importance of the study those w ho are seeking either a general or a technical edu cation. Please allow him space in your columns for a plea, which, while it may appear long for your columns, is yet entirely too short to do jus'.ice to the subject. to T he great Teacher said: " F or what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own sou!?" In this question is the embodiment of the highest wisdom; for it shows the utter insignificance of things temporal when compared with things eternal. But worldly wisdom is confined to things tempo ral and tangible; and, confining the question to this present life, it may be paraphrased ;is follows: " F or what is a man profited, if he harness the the the winds, the waters, and the elements of earth to do his bidding, if another reap the fruit of his labor?" lightning, sunshine, T he ingenuity of man has devised machines and means by which a great part of the drudgery of sup plying his wants is done by the powers of Nature, by which the la bor of production is reduced to the hundredth part of what it was 11 few centuries age. But with all our progress in science and the mechanic art<, there is as large a proportion of the human race—if not a larger—in misery and want as ever before. M en labor as hard, when they have the opportunity, as fofaieriy, for as mean and niggardly a subsistence. At times when they have no oppor tunity—and times are when the "captains of industry" say there is " over-production" their wheels must cease to turn that " con sumption may catch up with produc tion"—men starve while granaries, elevators and other food repositories are bursting with products for which theie freeze while storehouses are rilled to over flowing wi:h their own manufacture. We see the anomaly of want and suffering in the world because those things which allevia'e suffering and want has been made so easy. the production of is no m irket; fabrics of these they and T he labsr of production has been so reduced, that, were the burden equally distributed among men, la bor not to exceed three or four hours a day for each individual would suf fice to supply all our wants. W hy struggle to get the greatest yield from your soil, if the flour and other food trusts must reap all the reward? W hy devise labor-saving machines, if thereby you deprive yourself of the opportunity to supply your own wants, put yourself down lower and lower in the scale of humanity and some "captain of i n d u s t r y" nearer and nearer to the goal of a " billion to do any aire?" W hy struggle thing well, if the doing well make industrial you more and more an aristocracy, to a moneyed slave which compassion— knows no naught but insatiable greed? "Economics is the department of philosophy which has for its object investigation of the causes of the material prosperity." It is also an ait and " a t t e m p t s, in accordance with determined laws, the direction and combination of causes for the production of the highest material prosperity." A nd this prosperity is not that merely of the favored few, but of all mankind, w ho inherit as from Sua! heirs the earth and its attend- t fforces. Economics furnishes problems for the student which are pre-eminent in importance; for, if these questions are not solved, all his other work has been in vain. It is not enough to say that these questions are insolv- able and that we must let the world wag as it wilt; they can be solved, and must be, if we are to escape the destruction which has overwhelmed every great nation remotest antiquity—destruction because of great wealth and its concentration in the hands of the few. P ut these great questions of economics before the student, and give him to under stand that they are for him to solve; that in the right or wrong solution of these problems is the welfare or downfall of the Republic. " H ow shall we effect an equitable distribu tion of labor, and of wealth, the pro- .duct of labor ? This involves all the great and burning questions of poli tical economy, and w ho will say that this study should have a subordinate place in the curriculum of any edu cational institution ? C H A S. H. C H A S E. DR. NORTHROP ON FOOT BALL. A recent newspaper article set forth the ideas on football of Presi dent Cyrus Northrop of the Uni versity of Minnesota, in a letter to Lucian R. Worden of the Milwau kee school board: " At first I regarded football as an evil that could not well be avoided. I have watched the game for sev eral years, and have slowly but surely come to the conclusion that the game is on the whole desirable, though not lacking some features that are to be regretted.' " No doubt football is a danger ous game when played by untrained persons, whose physical condition is not what it should be, but it is not ordinarily dangerous for those whose physical condition has been exam ined by a competent physician and pronounced good and w ho have been trained to play the game as it ought to be played. "I may add that football certainly does not improve the scholarship of those devoted to it, and on the whole is not, I think, helpful to the gen eral scholarship of the institution, meaning by scholarship proficiency in the regular studies. I may add further that the practice of betting on the results is very demoralizing. " B ut the game promotes a very earnest college and school spirit by kindling general enthusiasm and by binding the hearts of all in an insti tution together by a strong common In the next desire for one thing. place, it is a grand training for the men engaged in it. "Self-possession, courage, prompt ness, strict obedience, temperance, alertness, quick perception, manly resolution and vigor are all cultivat ed, and doubtless many good quali ties which I have not specifically named. T he training received by the team at the hands of a good coach is quite equal to that received in many classrooms, involv ing, as it does, the essence of mathe matical correctness and combina tions. intellectual " Football is here an d I think it will stay. My object is not to pre vent it and in general to cultivate a sense of honor which will never per mit one team to forget, rough as the game may seem, that they, the team, must be gentlemen." THE NEW CALENDAR. T he annual M. A. C. calendar is It is thought that the about done. calendar for 1903 will prove to be fully as satisfactory as have been those of previous years. T he gen eral arrangement of this year's cal endar has been in charge of Miss A. A. Earl, w ho has spent a consider able amount of time in making a worthy product. T he 1903 calendar will consist of six pages of heavy paper, 9x12 inches, with a front and back cover tne same size. T he front cover will show a fl jwer design with cuts of deer and cows. T he rest of the pages will show groups of various buildings and cam pus scenes. Tv:o months will ap pear on a p a g e , t he Sundays and calendar days of the M. A. C. year appearing in red ink, the rest of the p3ge appearing in black. T he method of distribution this year will be practically the same as for previous years. Michigan alum ni other than those resident in Lan sing and at M. A. C. will receive calendars as well as members of the faculty, each dormitory room and each senior. All parents of students at the College will also receive cal endars. Fencing is becoming very popu lar among the universities.

W a r d, '90, in Grand Rapids D e cember 29. Mr. Ward's health had been fail ing for some years, and last summer he was granted a year's leave of ab sence to study bacteriology and rest in Europe. He entered the University of Zu rich in Switzerland last September, but after a short time was compelled to relinquish his studies and place himself under the care of a physician. Medical aid failed to give him relief and early in December he returned to his home in Grand Rapids, arriv ing there just ten days before his death. As a student in College Mr. W a rd was an exceedingly exemplary one. He was orderly, unassuming and serious. T i me and opportunity were always valuable to him, and many a young man will, on hearing of his death, recall the many admonitions he gave them regarding the serious ness of life. He was a prominent member of the Olympic Society, and did much to improve and en large the society's usefulness. He was buried not far from the farm home, where he was born, near Ada, in Kent county. T he College was represented at the funeral by Mr. Gunson. T HE M. A. C. RECORD. THE M. A. C. RECORD.

On plots 7 and S only two quarts of oats per acre were In the balance of the orchard used. oats, one bushel per acre, were sown with eight quarts of crimson clover. Together with these the follow ing varieties of cowpeas were also sown in the College orchard: Clay, Whippoorwill, Wonderful, R ed Ripper, Black, N ew E r a, and Vel vet Beans. during T he season was unfavorable for the experiment, it being very wet and cold and the results were unsat isfactory. Usually the months of August and September we have dry, hot weather, which is beneficial to the growth and devel opment of peas and beans. T he cowpeas that were sown broad cast germinated slowly and made a weak spindling growth only about inches high. T h ey were not six thick enough to make a covering of any value and as a nitrogenous fer tilizer it was not sufficient to repay the cost of seed, labor, etc. Those sown in drills were thicker in. the row but did not cover as much ground and were not as beneficial as the ones broadcasted.
