We need fraternal a world-citizenship; the sort of free-love in patriotism that un fortunately sometimes bears the name of "internationalism." We cannot and we would not destroy the spirit of na tionality. Old provincialisms, old prej udices, aggravated national individual ism must be subordinated to a large, generous recognition of the fact that nations must live together in a world family. "World power or downfall" as a national slogan must give way to some such sentiment as "World brotherhood or barbarism."

After the war we will see, I verily believe, democracy marching behind the Great Teacher, cherishing as its shibboleth the high est moral ideals and the profoundest spiritual teachings of the race. the What can our Morrill Act Colleges and Universities do? First of all, the colleges must appreciate length, the breadth, the height, the depth of the democratic movement. We must not merely sympathize with the aims of democracy, we must deliberately choose to serve the complete democ racy. The major contribution of the college to thejdemocracy is the expert on whom reliance must be placed for the leadership which is imperative in an efficient democracy. The expert must be a real democrat. His obli gation is to the great society, not to any small or exclusive group of so ciety; or if he work with such a group, always as the ambassador of the mass, the protagonist of the common weal. I believe that as institutions we owe it to ourselves, to our constituency, to our country, to organize in thorough going fashion an effort interpret this war and its consequences to our people.

TACKLES FARM DRAINAGE. septic One of the war activities of the ex tension division that is new and at tracting tremendous interest over the state is that of farm drainage. 0. E. Robey, '13, extensionist in household engineering, whose previous work has been the installation of lighting and sanitary conveniences, tanks and water systems in farm homes, has been given the farm drainage task, and is flooded with requests for h i s. time from all parts of Michigan.

With such vast areas of fertile Michi gan soil in waste land because it was '•under water" the importance of land drainage as a food production move was very evident. through the For the work lack of funds thus far is being carried on along demon stration lines only, Mr. Robey having begun field work early in the summer. Plots are selected about ten acres in size and along main roads where they will be most valuable as demonstration plots and where the ad vertising of their success will be the traveled 6 THE M. A. C.
