McKenna picked ran 35 yards for the second touch down. Time of play, one minute. Hillsdale never held for downs and never made the desired 5 yards in the first half. Boone was the only Hillsdale player who made any gains at ail and he made 10 yards in two plays. This was the only time that Hillsdale made 5 yards in three downs. football made McKenna made the third touch down b y h u r d l i n g t h e l i n e; the fourth was secured on a quarterback kick, Doty and Bell falling on the ball hehind the line.

Albion has been working to defeat M. A. C. ever since the opening of the season. H er professors have been making speeches to that effect. M. A.

T he address was very inter esting. Dr. Lane showed that a tinge of uncertainty was always nec essary to give interest to any phase of life. It is the element of uncer tainty that makes hope possible, and without hope the human life would be reduced to its lowest form, in fact without it man could not exist.

T h ey will undoubtedly result in much good providing suitable instructors can be secured. One thing is certain, a good teacher cannot be retained for board, room and washing. Salar ies must go up. A lamentable thing about these schools is that no provision has yet been made for teaching the elements of agriculture. that one-third of our Bailey says live by the plow, and the people other two-thirds they follow that noble occupation. A g riculture is the oldest art, but the newest science. Its possibilities in Michigan have not been exhausted by one-half. W h at a glorious thing it would be if the rising generation could be given a desire to investigate this art from a scientific standpoint. Let the teacher of science in these training schools be a young man who knows not only science, but also its application to the farm, live stock, the dairy and fruit culture. Pres. Snyder advocated this very strongly in an address before the last year, and Schoolmasters' Club it is now up to the state authorities to act. GENERAL TEACHERS' MEETING. interest. At Several years a go Pres. Snyder inaugurated a scheme by which the entire teaching force should meet at stated times to discuss topics of gen eral these meetings some one department was to give an address indicating the nature of the work, methods of presentation and general aim. At the meeting last Tuesday evening, Prof. W. O. Hed- rick of the department of history and economics gave a thorough discus sion of the subjects of historv, civics and political economy. He stated that at the present time historical perspective is seldom considered at It is presumed that the M. A. C. student ra« already attained it. T he ends in view are mental discipline and a clear, comprehensive under standing of the forces and institu tions amongst which we live. T he general scheme followed to develop this insight into present day civiliza T HE M. A. C. RECORD. tion is to trace its lines of growth the peoples of Western through Europe and America. It is assumed that modern history is of more im portance to the student than ancient". Hence English history is given first, then nineteenth history, European history in the Sophomore year, early European in the Junior, and United States Constitutional history in the Senior year. century T he German method is largely used in presentation. Records of Congress and of the constitutional and state conventions, presidential messages, state papers, contempor ary newspapers and private corre spondence—-all well arranged for studying purposes are everywhere at the student's disposal. Reference books are numerous and recitations upon these are required the same as upon the textbook. that arise Following Political science is taught for two terms, one term to juniors and one to seniors. T he dictum of proceed ing from the part to the whole, from the particular to the genera!, has no place in teaching civics. T he stu dent has heard of the doings of Con gress and the President and in these he is interested and feels at home. Hence, the student begins not with the highest forms of government like international relations, nor with the lowest type like the school dis trict, but with something interme diate. T he nature, history and ten dencies of our governmental institu tions are first considered; then the problems in managing these institutions, such as the duties of representatives, the extension of the suffrage and the functions of our political parties. this study of the outward parts of society, the nature of civil society itself is investigated. T he relation of gov ernments to such society, the powers of society and the functional charac ter of government are considered. senior economy elective. Its pedagogical psesenta- tion has been greatly affected by t wo economic movements — t he great money question and that of trusts and monopolies. T he lecture sys tem is used in this connection to some extent. To be scientifically correct one should enter the study of economics through the phenome non of price. All practical ques tions are a matter of price, tariff labor problems, money, questions, them trusts and monopolies pivot selves It furnishes a measure of all the efforts and sacrifices which have entered into the production of a commodity or service. invariably upon Poli'.ical price. is a T he bond of harmony in all the subjects of this department is the development in the student of "social consciousness." Society is an organ ism within which the man or woman has some function. No true explan ation of suffrage, of taxation, of legal penalties, of military service, or of compulsory education is possible without the organic conception of society. T he sense of relationship among those who form this organism is "social consciousness."

Miss Light left on Friday and wrote on her card that she would return at 10 a. m. Monday. M r. Light, w ho is a dentist, had been ill for some time, was very nerv ous and seemed times mentally unbalanced. He probably insane Sunday became violently night and at some time that night fatally wounded M r s.

Letters indicate that the whole affair was carefully considered and all de tails arranged some days in advance. to be at natured all the Miss Light was well and favor ably known to everybody at the College. She was a young woman of excellent character, had a very sunny disposition, was genial and time. On good account of these traits of character and the fact that she always tried to lend a helping hand and was kind, she was one of the most popular girls in College. She was a member of the Feronian Society and leaves behind her a host of friends to mourn her departure. H er untimely death is especially sad.
