LORADO TAFT, LECTURER AND SCULPTOR, HERE

Will Lecture on “The Beauties in American Life; Large Crowd Expected

INSPIRATIONAL LECTURER

Second Number of Lyceum Course Believed To Be One of Highest

Lorado Taft, one of the great sculptors of the day and popularly known as "The Great American Sculptor," outstanding as a creative artist, nationally known as an author, art critic, and lecturer, will be in McPherson December 13, to give the second number on the Community Lyceum Course. The lecture, "Beauties In American Life" will be given in the city auditorium.

Sculptor Taft's life has been one of great appreciation which he has been able to convey to his audience. Born at Elmwood, Illinois, in 1860 and graduated from the University of Illinois' where his father taught geology, his life has been one great pursuit of beauty in art. As a child he wrote stores and illustrated them but his real interest in sculpture came at the age of thirteen, when he helped a Belgian sculptor repair a collection of casts that were damaged in transit to the university. His work in this was somewhat like fitting a jigsaw puzzle together. He gained a new enthusiasm when clay modeling was discovered.

In 1880, he went to Paris, independently, where he studied art in the Ecole des Beaux Arts for five years. He came back with the idea that any nation in order to develop great art must also develop a pas-sionate appreciation for it. Because of his adherence to this ideal it has often been said that he had done more to inspire a knowledge of art and a love for the beautiful than any other man in America. In January, 1886, he opened a studio in Chicago where he has since resided.

As Instructor in modeling and later as a lecturer he has been connected with the Art Institute of Chicago for thirty-five years. At the University of Chicago he holds the title of Professional Lecturer on the History of Art and is a non-resident professor of art at the University of Illinois.

His first great work was at the Columbian Exposition where he dec-orated the Horticultural Building. This brought him high recognition and a later commission.

The best known of his professional works are: “The Solitude of the Soul," at Chicago: "The Blind" after Maeterlinck's novel of the same name; Sculpture of the Columbus Memorial Fountain, at Washington; “The Fountain of the Great Lakes” at Chicago, The Washington Monument, The Black Hawk Memorial at Oregon, Illinois; The Thatcher Memorial Fountain at Denver, and The Fountain of Time at Chicago.

He has done considerable writing in the field of architecture and art. He had also delivered several thousand lectures. One, the “Process of Architecture," has a record of 1200 evenings.

His lectures are easy and fluent, full of spontaneity, alive with humor, and of the highest educational value. The Chicago Tribune once said of one of his addresses; “After all it was the wit of Lorado Taft that most charmed the audience last evening. From the moment the great sculptor began talking, in his genial, composed way and the first picture was flashed upon the screen, the running fire of comment sparkling with wit . . . Mr. Taft is a great success as a lecturer."

Single admission will be forty cents.

IN SYMPATHY

The students and faculty of McPherson college extend their deepest sympathy to Edith Bechtelhelmer in the death of her father—Pres., Stu-dent Council.

The sun was over two hours high by the time we were ready to strike the trial the first morning. Unfamil-iarity with packing up camp equipment and fitting it on a pack was responsible for most of the delay. Then of course the pack horse had to swell up like a toad so that the cinches would have to be knotted. We soon took that out of him though. He was an old black cayuse which answered to the name of Easter and should have been called Christmas or Judgment Day from his speed. He was fair at picking trial except when he became tired and then he chose the shortest way to the detriment of the pack and our patience.

I took the lead on a red and white pinto called Paint. “Don" (Donald Dresher, McPherson college, ’33). followed on a leggy bay whose cog-nomen was properly Stranger, but who called forth many other expres-sions from his rider and “Pote” (Eldon Kaser, a friend from my home town), wrapped his long legs around the deck of Battleship, a white bronk whose delight was to do everything his rider did not desire.

By groaning I mean the series of sepulchral and long drawn out grunts in which experienced pack animals always Indulge in an effort to entice a green

STUDENTS VOTE DOWN WAR IN PEACE POLL

Fifty Per Cent of Students Taking Poll Would Not Fight

As a part of a peace program that is to be extended to many of the colleges of the state of Kansas, the students at McPherson college took a poll yesterday to voice their attitude toward war.

In the student poll two propositions were given the student. One in case our country were attacked and the other in any war which the student considered offensive or defensive. Of the 142 students voting, 50 per cent stated that they would not fight under any conditions, 6 per cent stated that they would enter as a volunteer in a defensive or offensive war. 23 per cent stated that they would take up arms if drafted to prevent an attack upon their country. To 21 per cent the reason for attack was taken as determining their attitude toward war.

It is expected that this poll will be carried out in other colleges of the state to determine the student attitude of Kansas colleges toward war.

The remainder of the program Included the distributing of peace propaganda through the college papers and making the college editor responsible for the supervision of peace information on his college campus. The peace literature will be furnished by the Youth Movement for World Recovery, and other peace organizations.

The objective of this movement is to demonstrate to our government that the student realizes the futility of war and the vigorous attitude that is prevalent among students against militarism.

The poll was taken under the direction of Elmer Staats, editor of the Spectator.

CHOIR SINGS FOR ELKS

Members of the college A Capella Choir hurried back from their Thanksgiving vacations to make their, first public appearance at the Elks Memorial services last Sunday afternoon. The choir sang three numbers.

Warner Nettleton sang a solo accompanied by Bernice Dresher. The memorial address was given by the Rev. T. N. Shellenberger of the Presbyterian church.

horn to lighten the load.

The trail was down river and held close to left cliff of dark red sandstone. Shortly after leaving I took over the packhorse and released my two companions to get some speciments of the sand-hill cranes that we had seen alight on the river. The boys left their horses and crept across the sand towards the stream, taking advantage of the sparse tufts of grass for cover. They were extremely careful to avoid being seen but the sharp eyes of one of the birds spied them out and the whole flock rose, screaming wildly, and filed ponderously out over the cliffs to the south. The boys emptied the maga-zines of their guns in a last effort to bring down one of the slowly flying birds, but the range was too great.

One the way back across the flats two prairie dogs were killed, but they were not in condition for mounting so we discarded them.

In the meantime I had located a huge boulder at the base of a jutting point of the cliff on which the Indians had made many signs and pictures by pecking on the red surface of the sandstone with sharp fragments of quartz and quartzite. At the base of the boulder were several of the discarded tools, their edges battered and blunted from use.

The pictures themselves were of

BORROWING DILEMMA FACING GOVERNMENT

Inflation Serving to Keep Money in Liquid Form, Bohling Says

By Prof. E. R. Bohling

There is an old theory in the field of money that the price level is closely related to the quantity of money. It is quite apparent that our present monetary policy is being influenced by this theory. History verifies the theory at least in those cases where money serves ns the chief medium of exchange or where the monetary system is perfectly elastic to the ups and downs of business.

But in an economic society where credit and credit instruments are used to settle ninety per cent of business transactions, the quantity theory loses much of its significance. The situation is further complicated by the velocity of circulation of money and money substitutes. The amount of credit instruments used as a medium of exchange far exceeds the actual amount of money used in the U. S., so that when the bunk moratorium tied up twenty per cent of our bank deposits, it affected prices more adversely than withdrawal of an equal percentage of actual money.

Present monetary policy seems to be lending itself to all these factors. In the first place, an attempt is being made to increase credit by encouraging banks to lend for sound commercial purposes. Also, provi-(Continued on Page Three)

BULLDOGS CLOSE SEASON BY DEFEATING YORK, 27-0

McPherson Teams Meets Little

Difficulty in Overcoming Visitors

McPherson college closed the football season Thanksgiving day by decisively defeating York college at the McPherson Athletic Park. The final score was McPherson 27, York 0.

After a few minutes of the first quarter the outcome of the game was never in doubt. The Bulldogs advanced the ball on straight football through and around the heavy York line for consistent gains. The entire Bulldog backfield carried the ball in this drive which was featured by good blocking by the lineman. With the ball on the 9 yard line Carpenter went around the right side of the Bulldog line, side stepping two men and went over for the first score. Haun’s attempted place kick hit the goal post, leasing the score 6-0.

McPherson kicked to York and the Bulldog line held for three downs, forcing York to punt. With the ball in mid-field, Haun dashed off tackle then made a quick cut back eluding the secondary defense, and ran 50 yards for a touchdown. This time Haun’s kick for point was good. With but a few minutes left in the first quarter Coaches Binford and Selves sent in several substitutes who played until the end of the first half.

The first string started at the beginning of the second half and again they gained consistently thru the York line but failed to score in the third quarter. At the start of the fourth quarter with the ball only six yards from the goal line Carpenter tossed a pass to Pauls for the third Bulldog counter. Haun again place kicked for the extra point.

Burress scored the final touchdown following a drive from the center of the field. In this drive Burress cracked the center of the line for 20 yards placing the ball on the 5 yard line. In two more plays he carried the ball across and Haun kicked goal, making the score 27 for Mc-Pherson.

The way to build McPherson College is to patronize college boosters.

"COMES THE DAWN!"

At last—at long last—the way is opening! American college men and women are finding a way to work effectively for world peace. And—they

The Youth Movement for World Recovery explored for months the many things that might be effective to improve world conditions. Also a plan was wanted which would arouse the thoughtful unillusioned voters and near voters of the nation. The plan is now begun and to working. Here's a partial story of the past few weeks:    ___

Paul Harris, with doors opened before him in Kansas and Nebraska through interested students and advisers. spoke fifty-six times in ten days. He touched nineteen colleges and universities. He interpreted the world happenings of today. He answered questions. Then he gathered on each campus the most intelligent and interested students into a small meeting and placed before them the plan for action. He advised against permanent organization immediately; instead, he urged thought and reflection. Then he left, assuring them that he would be their counselor if needed.

The messages are coming in. Scores of requests for material arrive, increasing numbers of requests for advice on definite plans are on our desks. One telegram says:

"Steering council for Nebraska Committee on Peace Action sends greet-

ings.

"Tonight planned meeting of entire Committee November 6. . . . Trying to contact students in every county through that Committee."

A letter from an adult student advisor says:

"I heard Paul Harris the other evening and am quite anxious that we shall do our bit to bring peace pressure. Will you please send me the necessary material . . .? I expect to push these things in the College and in the surrounding country."

A leading student writes:

"Nine schools and presidents wish to cooperate with any peace enterprise that we develop on our campus' . . . from letters received by Chancellor."

And this is what one college professor writes:

"And we are going ahead. The plans to date are: (1)A mass meeting of students tomorrow . . . and preliminary steps toward finding out from the 'folks back home' the names of precinct leaders and congressmen, with the intention of writing the precinct leaders for information about the stand of the congressmen. . . . The students expect to be known to their politicians from the word 'go'. (2) A small committee in the community ... (to get) names of carnest peace advocates in every precinct of the city, preliminary to calling informal voters' meetings in those precincts. . . ."

The plan In Its simplest form to ready. Its variations are innumerable. Do you wish to stay inactive— be only a dilettante who to "interested in peace"? If so, forget this page. Or do you want to be a pioneer in a real American youth push for peace among the nations? Then—your copy of the plan to ready. Write for it. Present it—in a forceful, telling way. And use for your Washington consulting office, your old colleague and Paul’s.—RUTH SARLES of the Youth Movement for World Recovery.

VOCATION HELPS

The student is brought each day to the realization that jobs are getting harder and harder to get. We are living in an era of change when man's efficiency is increased to such an extent less laborers are required. The logical result, it appears, is that more jobs will have to be made through new wants and the opening of new fields of activity. With several million men out of work, when college graduates are filling the breadlines, and all the professions are overcrowded, the student can well consider what the opportunities for new jobs are.

An effort to explain this perplexing problem has been made in a book received at the library, "Book of Opportunities" by Rutherford Platt, which he calls a dictionary of jobs. This timely work considers 3,500 occupations, dealing with the spirit and feeling associated with the job rather than the facts concerning it.

The author in this work believes that there is no rule for getting a job; no formula for being happy in it once you have taken it. It is all luck and light, and the more light the more luck. The new study in the field of vocations is that of personal adjustment to jobs in new fields.

STUDENTS SEEK WRONG KIND OF JOBS

Here is something for college students, who are worrying about jobs, to think about: Walter V. Bingham, director of the Personnel Research Federation in Now York, believes that unemployment among college-trained people is not so much due to the scarcity of jobs as to the fact that such people seek the wrong kind of jobs. He says:

"It is getting fashionable to assert that there are now altogether too many high school graduates and college-trained men; that the professions of medicine, teaching, engineering and law are crowded; that there is a large over-supply of skilled tradesmen, and that there are few careers open to musicians, artists, writers and so on down the list.

"Sweeping remarks of this sort reveal at once a growing concern and an ignorance of facts about the changes that have been taking place in the distribution of occupational opportunities. There are shortages today in certain lines of specialization. Physicians, trained social workers, stylists, nurses, hair dressers, interior decorators, beauty specialists, coppersmiths and skilled laundry operatives are in demand.

"There need be no surplus of occupational talents if the changing trends of opportunity are understood, proper training is provided and young people are helped to plan their preparation for callings that will most probably be in demand."

It is the old problem of vocational choice and vocational guidance, but present conditions make it apparent that more than ever before most these problems be considered of paramount importance by educational in-stitutions.

U. S. SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS R. 0. T. C.

High Court Refuses to Review Appeal From Maryland State Court

Washington, (CNS)—Refusing to review an appeal from a tower court decision, the United States Supreme Court this week had thus upheld the right of the University of Maryland to require its students to enroll for compulsory military training courses.

The Supreme Court's ruling marked the end of the long battle which Ennis H. Coale, once ousted from the university for his refusal to join the R. O. T. C., had waged to force university officials to re-admit him as a "conscientious objector."

Just what effect the ruling would have on the project suit of two youths, who were forced to leave the University of California at Los Angeles after having declined to enroll for military training, was conjectural due to the many logal technicalities involved. In the Maryland case, it was pointed out. the Supreme court refused to review a Court of Appeals decision, upholding the constitutionality of a state law which requires compulsory military training at the university, but it was not known what precedent. If any. would be established with relation to the proposed California suit.

BOHLING ON INFLATION

(Continued from Page One)

sion is being made to open many banks that have been closed several months.

In the third place, the actual amount of money in existence has been increased by the government's policy of purchasing its own securities and the more recent policy of buying gold at a high figure.

It would seem then that the price level should be advancing rapidly since an attack is being made from every angle that affects prices. Where then is the catch to the proposition?

It appears that we have taken more normal periods in our economic life for the verification of our theory. We perhaps have even chosen periods of prosperity when a natural increase in business was accompanied by an elastic monetary and credit structure, but when it comes to forcing an artificial condition not justified by economic laws we run into difficulties.

The velocity of circulation of money and its substitutes increased materially last spring when the first fear of inflation swept the country. People bought forward. Then the idea died down. This was an artificial stimulus and it will take larger and larger doses of inflation to force forward buying in the future.

The amount of money put out by central banks has reached a new high since the depression hit us, but this condition has been accompanied by a new high in bank deposits. Whenever the price of government bonds begins to sag the Federal Reserve Banks begin buying bonds. This is another artificial condition. It is apparent here that the people who sell the proceeds in the bank rather than in circulation. People who are aware of the danger of inflation prefer having their wealth in liquid form so as to be ready to hedge when the time comes.

Those in command of our monetary policy at the present time find themselves between two fires. First, there is the demand for a higher price level. Second, there is the necessity for vast borrowing operations to finance many proposed projects. People do not care to lend on fixed obligations such as bonds where a doubling of the price level means a cutting in two of the real income. Neither do people desire to lend if there is the possibility of being repaid with fiat money. The German government repaid its bond-holders with paper money and later redeemed the paper with gold marks at the rate of one trillion is one.

As the price of gold advances, government bonds hare been declining even in the face of heavy purchases of such bonds by the central banks.

If the point is reached where peo-ple refuse to loan to like government, the next step might easily be resort to the printing presses. The entire national debt could bo paid with a few dollars worth of engraved paper. Of course, inflation of this extreme a nature would sweep prices skyward. Up to now mild inflation has not seriously impaired our chances of returning to gold, but once we cut away from gold entirely, there is no limit to which depreciation might, go.

It is most unfortunate that most people think of value and price as being synonymous. Inflation is supposed to help the farmer by raising the price level. The price of farm produce is out of line because of maladjustments within the industry and not because of monetary conditions. An inflation extreme enough to raise the general price level will leave the farmer exactly where he now is. In

After working here we hurried on down the valley and pitched camp close to the rim rock where a spring trickled down the cliff through myriads of mosses and ferns. Here was water for ourselves and our horses.

Across from camp a life-size picture of a bear had been painted on the white cliff with black oxide and it showed up plainly in the evening light. Many years ago the Indians left offerings of food and tools at its feet.

We prepared the evening meal under a canopy of stars while the horses crunched in the darkness around us, the owls hooted and nighthawks screamed. A coyote howled out an eerie good night and we lay down on the hard earth to sleep under the protection of the Indian God. "The Black Bear."

HOME ECONOMICS CLASSES VISIT BUSINESS PLACES

The home economics department of McPherson college under the supervision of Miss Helen McIlrath has been making some tours of the down town stores to study kitchen equipment, floor equipment, and other problems of home economics.

The Foods class visited Peterson's hardware store to study kitchen equipment. There they found the things used in an average kitchen. They also studied the prices. Wolf's plumbing shop was also visited.

The Household Management class made a visit to Green's Electric store to study electric appliances. Other visits have been made to new houses under construction in the city by the House Planning class.

There is a heroic innocence, as well as a heroic courage.

McPHERSON PLACES THREE ON ALL-CONFERENCE TEAM

Hayes, Wiggins, and Carpenter on Official All-Conference Team

THREE ON SECOND TEAM

Other Sports Writers Give Recognition to Other Members of Team

At the close of each season various sports writers over the state pick their all star selections for the various leagues. Here, are a few of the ones that were picked at the close of the past season. Several McPherson men were named on the various teams with all of the first eleven named in one way or another:

Parke Carroll, sports writer for the Kansas City Journal-Post, has selected three McPherson college football players for the mythical All-Kansas conference team. Pauls was placed at end, Hayes at tackle and Binford at quarterback, Lobdell. Kansas Wesleyan, was placed as the other end, Daugherty. Ottawa, as tackle. Baer, Kansas Wesleyan and Pike, Baker, guards, Walters, Ottawa, center. Knapper, Ottawa (captain), and Robinson, Kansas Wesleyan, halfbacks, and Armstrong. Ottawa, fullback.

Three McPherson men were given berths on the second all-conference team. Wiggins, McPherson, and Pott, Ottawa, were the second team ends. Hards, Kansas Wesleyan, and Halye, Ottawa, tackles; Youngquist, Bethany, and Hampton, Kansas Wesleyan, guards; Haskins, Baker, center; Albright, Baker, quarterback; Carpenter, McPherson, and Hartley. Bethany, halfbacks and Burress, McPherson, fullback.

Honorable mention was given to Wine, McPherson, tackle; Minear. McPherson, center: Haun, McPherson, halfback: Farrow. Bethany, end, Hollister. Baker, tackle; Wheat, Baker, guard; Snyder. Kansas Wesleyan. center; Anderson. Baker, fullback; Elder. Ottawa, halfback; Myers. Bethany, fullback; and Inslee. Kansas Wesleyan, fullback.

In commenting upon his selection. Carroll said: "Binford of McPherson wan almost a unanimous choice for quarter and Armstrong left his rivals far behind in the balloting for fullback. Pauls of McPherson and Lobdell of Kansas Wesleyan were ends as good as the conference has seen in several years. The same tribute can be paid to Wiggins of McPherson and Pott of Ottawa, the first team pair being chosen after a vote so close that a neutral observer who had seen them play was asked to cast the deciding ballot."

On the official all state team Wiggins was placed at end on the second team selection. Carpenter was given a halfback position on the third team. Besides these, Pauls, Hayes, Vasques, and Burress were given honorable mention in the all state selections.

According to dope, M. C. has one of the best teams in the United States. How's this for dope (dope is what all sport fans like to play with).
