Next Saturday, Kalamazoo comes to M. A. C. for a championship game. M. A. C. must win this contest and everybody should be out to lend enthusiasm and give life and vim to the players. From present indications, neither Alma nor Olivet will participate in the finals. One of the " B ig F o u r" will also have to drop out. Albion seems to be cer tain of a position. Consequently, the fight will be among M. A. C, Hillsdale and Kalamazoo. We have defeated Hillsdale, now let us add Kazoo to our string and thus make our future secure. Bring along your horns, megaphones and voice boxes and be not backwards about using them. B A S E B A L L. T he first championship game was played with Hillsdale at M. A. C. last Wednesday. Palmer was hit hard and was rather wild after the third inning. H y de pitched a fine game, allowing only three scattered hits. Hillsdale played good ball, but M. A. C. outclassed her at every point.

LOUIS EXPOSITION IS OPEN. At 1 p. m. April 29, President Roosevelt at Washington pressed the golden key which started the machinery at the St. Louis World's Fair and the Universal Exposition of 1904 was declared open by Presi dent D. R. Francis of the Exposi tion Commission. After three years of work and an expenditure of $50,000,000 the ex hibit buildings have been completed and filled with a wonderful collec tion illustrating the industries, arts and sciences of the civilized world. To give one an idea of its extent, it can be compared with the Chicago Exposition. T he St. Louis Fair occupies 1,200 acres, while 633 acres were used at Chicago, 300 at Buffalo and 150 acres at Omaha, or 117 acres less than are used at St. Louis. T he Exposition at St. Louis covers with its buildings 128 acres while (oS acres supplied land for the Chi cago, Buffalo, and Omaha fairs com bined. T he cost was also propor tionately greater at St. Louis and the statement that the .St. Louis Im position is nearly twice as extensive as the one at Chicago and more than eight times as large as the Buffalo Exposition the is no more truth. than While the principal exhibit build ings and most of those belonging to the state and foreign governments were completed on the opening day, many of the exhibits were incom plete and from one to two weeks will be required to get matters straight ened out. in leads increased interest agriculture. A In the Horticultural Building the largest and finest collection of fruit ever placed upon exhibit tables will be shown. This is made possible by improvements in refrigeration and in the use of preservatives for keep ing fruit in jars, as well as on ac count of in this large branch of number of states have from 200 to 1000 barrels in cold storage to be brought out as required to replenish the tables until this year's crop is ready.

TUESDAY, MAT 10, 1904. M. A. C AND ORATORICAL CONTEST. H o n. H. R. Pattengill, Editor Moderator- Topics, Lansing, Mich. In the second the con Dear Sir — In the last issue of your paper, in a note concerning the M. A. C . - N o r m al debate, you stated erroneously that the Normal college had won in three preceding contests. As a matter of fact there have been only three contests between the t wo colleges. In the first, the Normal won by the unanimous decision of the judges. test was very close indeed, and while the judge's decision was t wo to one in their favor, men life Prof. Bar bour of that school told me they would not have been at all surprised had the decision come to us. In the third and last contest the decision was unanimously in our favor. To put it tersely, in the three contests nine judge's votes have been cast. these the Normal has received Of five and the M. A. C. four. I think you will agree with me this puts a very different face on the matter of relative standing of the two colleges in debate. M ay I ask that you will make adequate correction in your next issue? This probably seems, and possibly is, a small matter, and yet from our point of view it is not at all a small matter. T wo phases of education are here involved. T he one is old and deeply rooted in the affections of the people. T he other, the newer has had many prejudices to overcome, and is still on trial. While, then, we recognize that each form of education has its especial adaptations, all inci dental evidence tending to show the effectiveness of our form as regards general culture, intelligent interest in the common welfare, and moral development, are especially precious. Such evidence is in part to be found in the record of this college in those inter-collegiate oratorical and de bating contests. I have already ex plained the situation in regard to debating. T he record in the orator ical contests is still more striking. In the last four years (I have not the records for the three previous years just now accessible) we have rank, and once once won highest second rank, on thought and com in fifth. position. Once we tied with Olivet for second rank in the final series. T wo other times we have held third position in the final r a n k i n g; and the four position our worst years has been In the last contest at Adrian our representative, although receiving only third place, was easily first in ease, grace and artistic excellence of delivery, as is demonstrated by the testimony of rival college publications. To sum up tersely, the average of rankings for the four years shows Olivet to stand first and M. A. C. second in a series of nine colleges. have Ail this, too, has been achieved in the face of an inherent prejudice. It will be noticed that our best obtained on been grades thought and composition, where the name of the college does not appear on the manuscript, and the paper is identified by its title alone. T he presumption in the minds of judges (sub-consciously, of course) has uni formly been against the Agricultural college. To put it in other words, wherever there has been room for doubt, the benefit of that doubt has gone to our rivals. Permit me to say that I think this sub-conscious the cultural presumption against value of an Agricultural college course dictated the unnecessary final sentence in your note on our last debating contest, the error in which has provoked unexpectedly this long-drawn-out correction from me. You are not, however, alone in your sub-conscious state of mind. Said, recently, the president of one of our most flourishing state colleges, after twenty- w a l k i ng library: " W h v, thousand-volume what do you do with books? I did not know that an Agricultural col lege had any use for books?" through our think judge I write these things in the hope that they may in some degree help to remove this presumptive handi cap on the efforts of our students in oratorical or other contests. W i th the foregoing showing, w hy should inherently im it a probable that the grasp of thought, the intensity of passion, the fertility and aptness of expression and the dignity and power of delivery at tained by an Agricultural college student should rival those of the stu dents of oth;r colleges; or w hy should he fear that public opinion would condemn him if he should not always give to our rivals the benefit of the doubt? V e ry truly yours, H O W A RD E D W A R D S, Prof. English and M o d. Lang., Mich. Agricultural College. SUPERINTENDENTS' MEET ING. full of good About fifty superintendents met at the Hotel Downey last Thursday and Friday. T he address of Super intendent Kendall, of Indianapolis, things. H i gh was schools everywhere are establishing gymnasiums and instituting manual training. T he power to do is more and more emphasized. T he mere collection of data is no longer con sidered educational. Other topics of interest were discussed. T he " B a- tavia P l a n" was not considered any thing new in Michigan. T he idea that the teacher's business is just as much to show pupils how to study as to hear classes has been accepted for a long time in Michigan, and all good teachers see to it that pupils form correct habits of study. T he teacher in the public schools w ho simply "keeps school" and takes no personal interest in the pupils should be promptly discharged. This does not mean that children are equal mentally or will progress at a uni form rate. William Hawley Smith says that some rats can learn one trick and some another, and that none can learn all tricks equally well. It is much the same with the genus H o m o. A ny fad that claims to put all children in the same hopper and grind them out in such a condition that one cannot be distinguished from another should be carefully in vestigated before it is universally adopted. No doubt there is much room for improvement in our school system, but we do not believe that anything new has been discovered in the Batavia Plan. ,86, ex-super At the election of officers, Supt. E.

Some difficulty was experienced in preventing heating of friction brake and keeping the friction constant until instrument were taken. To overcome this dif ficulty as far as possible a stream of running on the water was kept pulley. T he speed in revolutions per minute was determined by a speed indicator. T he speed de creases with increase of load. T he speed 1170 in data is probably an error as the speed 1168 in preceding trial would indicate. readings of the T he electrical energy or number of Watts input per phase was read on the Wattmeter. T he voltmeter and ammeter were used to read the voltage and current per phase. These readings were necessary to factor, which determine the power input Watts Volts x amperes T he electrodynamometer used for the ammeter in reading the ampere's electric current was limited to 20 amperes. This made it impossible to take readings under full load with the instrument as used.
