• J. G. MEYER, Ph.U. Dfiin School of Education The ultimate test of how much and what kind of education a man has is to be found in the type of hfe he lives in private and in pubhc. A man is not educated in any direction unless his conduct-controls have been vitally affected. One has not really learned a fact, a truth, a prmciple, a law, or any other learn- able thing unless he believes it to the extent of allow- ing it to change his attitudes, ideals, points-of-view, or daily living. If through daily experience an in- dividual becomes convinced of the worth of certain desirable traits or qualities of citizenship in a country or in the Kingdom of God, he may be said really to know such traits and qualities. J. G. Meyer - - - ii S s» Ever our educational systems are growing and branching out into new and greater fields of service. One of the most encouraging phases of this growth today is that which deals with adult education. This movement emphasizes the need for wider intel- lectual activity after school and college davs are over. The mcreasing mterest in this problem was shown last year when the first international conference of Adult Education convened in England. Our own American Association in its fifth annual meeting also had a most constructive program. We must organize our various educational agencies to develop in all classes of people an interest in greater intellectual, social, and spiritual development throughout life. Then, and only then, will our educational system be functioning so as to meet the full need. Alick a. Doner ALICE A. DONER, A.M. Dealt of Woini-ii Education Pjjc Tucii t

V Fortv-two years ago the present campus of Man- chester College was a virgin forest. To provide building sites and campus space for a new institution the larger oaks and, from selected areas, the smaller growths and bramble thickets were cleared away. The most promising saplings of the remaining woods were spared and pruned. These have grown into the beautiful grove that shades the present campus. Timbers cut from the better oaks of the original tract were builded into Bumgardner Hall, the first erected. Later as needs required, other buildings, some more spacious than the first, were added and adjacent lands acquired. These grounds now well improved and buildings adequately equipped consti- tute the physical plant of our splendid institution. L. D. Ikenberr ' i [.. 1). IKENBERRY, A.M., LL.D.

Science ♦ - : f S - - ♦ II Whatever our definition of personality or how- ever much we may disagree with another ' s definition of It, we will agree that a teacher ' s personality e.Kcrcises a decisive influence. How shall we explain the greatness of such teachers as Agassiz? It was due not to knowledge so vast, nor to methods so greatl) ' superior, but to personality; for as diamond cuts diamond, so one personality affects another. What influences the student most? What penetrates the deepest recesses of his life and works lasting changes there? There can be but one answer--the personality of his teacher. And at the very center of the Christian ' s life is the Personality of the Master Teacher. Edward Kintner FUW ' ARU KINTNER, A.M. Si I ' tf tiry of tat ' ut y Biological Science I ' t ' f c lufiity
