Biology Afoot and Aheld INCE taking charge of the science classes of Columbia Junior College, Mr. Eby has adopted a new plan, much favored by all the pupils concerned. Every two weeks, a field hike has been taken to which two periods a day have been devoted. Each student is supplied with notebook and pencil, to jot down the various plants, birds and anything of scientific nature noticed. Many pleasant hours have been ass ociated with this new plan. In the early spring our first trip found the tiny buds just peeping up front the ground, and awakening from the long winter sleep. A few birds could be seen hopping from branch to branch, but only a few plants showed the welcome promise of spring. Two weeks later what a vast improvement. Nearly all plants were up, buds were bursting 0n the trees and bushes and a few of the tiny early plants were putting forth their blosoms. More birds were seen among which were the robin and blue bird. Insects too, were more numerous, drowsily humming through the air. What an advantage to the science class has been these field trips. We have all read about tlSpring advancing step by step? but never be- fore have we taken particular notice of it, as we have on our class hikes, Every two weeks showed a great change. Fro n1 homely bare fields spring has brought forth grass and flowers to grace the now realized promise. One trip nearly proved disastrous to the crowd, especially the young ladies with the taffetta skirts. Not many specimens were to be found but a very high wind was encountered. Scarcely was it possible to keep our footing and on the most unprotected part of the hill, we could, by letting our coats out behind us, throw ourselves against the wind and almost be taken off our feet. Several trips were taken each one showing the new marvels spring had wrought, which set us to thinking as never before about the wonderful works of nature. It was rather difficult to copy in our notebooks while on a trip, but it seems to have been accomplished. On our last hike special attention was paid to the beautiful orchards bursting into full bloom. The walk alone being invigoratingeso tinged was the air with the odor of bloomlng flowers-made what should rightly be termed a lesson seem only a pleasure trip. M. R. Fot'ty-one

progress in our own national congress have shown that many of our legislators are still willing to sacrifice the best interests not. only of our own nation, but of the world at large, on the altar of party politics. . But what can we do to remedy these defects in our social,.political and eco- noinic life? Surely the solution of these problems is not Within our reach. What recourse is open to us? t Then, too, there are several millions of foreigners within our country who are a constant source of danger to our national institutions. Why do you who are American born, hold our flag as the most sacred of all national emblems while this man who is foreign born would trample it under his feet? Is it be- cause it offers him any less protection than it offers you? Is it because you are able to secure justice under its folds and he is not? Is it because it offers you liberty and condemns him to slavery? No, it is none of these. He has confused it with another national emblem which under the guise of freedom has deceived him and given only cruelty and oppression. Make him understand what our flag is capable of meaning to him and he will love it, and defend it even as. you and I do. Since this danger is perhaps the most imminent just now, here is an opportunity for all who would be a wat chman on the towers of Isreale-a guardian of his nationis honor. How often do we see an educator who becomes so absorbed in his work that he thinks that surely ignorance is the cause of all evil, and education is the remedy for all. The physician believes that crime and disease go hand in hand and that proper sanitation will do the work. The farmer realizing that the world is dependent upon him for food believes that its salvation depends upon his sowing and reaping. The policeman hears of a murder or a robbery and comes to the conclusion that the lives and property of the people are in his hands to care for. And so each with a sense of the sacredness and im- portance of his duty sets about it with greater zeal, and each, while he does not solve the whole problem, contributes an honest share to its solution. Two little boys on a farm were set by their father to the prosaic task of cutting sprouts. It was during the Spanish-American War and by some whim they decided to pretend they were killing Spaniards. They raced about the field bringing down sprouts in great numbers, trying to outdo eachother in this mock heroic enter- prise. And who shall say that the real task was any less worthy than the imaginary one? Of course the kind of position each of us shall occupy will depend largely upon the adequateness of our preparation. But whatever that position may be-even if commonplace we hope through a sense of loyalty to envelop it with heroic interest in the realization that upon its faithful execution depends our part in the solving the great problem be fore us. And if we have the right train- ing, the necessary equipment and the determination to surmount all obstacles we can truly be able to say: iiThe morning comethf, i Francis Nugen Forty a

The Junior Class You cantt surpass Unless it is in number; But still understani On you we plan To waken from your slumber. A weiner roast A jolly good toast Together will combine To make it a picnic, A jolly good picnic Out in the woods sublime. Thursday 4:30 P. M. May 6th. Meet at C. J. C. HE Seniors have had their share of fun this year, but perhaps the most jolly good times of the rnany picniriver when the Juniors were hosts. The enjoyable was the picnic up the es held up the pipe line are familiar to all students who have ever attended C. J. C, So every one can understand the enthusiasm of the Seniors to keep the appointment with the Juniors May 6. A merry gr oup hiked through town, out of the city limits until the pipe line was reached. Then their growing exhilaration reached all limits and a skipping, hopping bunch of dignified Seniors led by the jolly but less dignified Juniors succeeded in reaching the end of the pipe line. But then! The swinging bridge was reached and some of the less steadier headed ones were seen to waver and falter over the water just where the rushing was swiftest. Fortu- nately we all crossed both times without mishap. A few more steps and we were right there on the edge of the wat er. The Junior boys made the fire aided a little by the Seniors bright suggestions. While the coffee was being made an impromptu orchestra was drilled- all playing upon the first thing, be it stick, knife or what not; that their fer- tile imagination could convert into a badly out of tune instrument. This 11e- markable harmony CO was brought to an end by the bolin01 of the coffee and then enjoyment began in earnest Snch eats! Real sugar and cream alei4toasted marshmallows. sandw1ches, Wieners and the Grand Finin the coffee. Then there were pickles, The return was made without mishap and all voted the Juniors generous entertainers. But we will only whisper one word of advice and that is-JlJuniors make an annual affa1r of it? Fox-ty-two
