4 THE OZARK WESLEYAN COLLEGE BULLETIN the fine spirit of cooperation on the part of the pastors of these churches. Indeed all the pastors with whom we have had to do have been most loyal' to the college and we thank them most heartily for thus helping us to bear the responsibilities of our im- portant service. Wheat Ifiieids The Vice President visited the wheat fields in southwestern Kansas, where the college has more than four hundred acres in wheat, the week of July 9th. He is very glad to report that the yield in western Kansas is better than he had expected and the college will receive a good income from the lands owned in Morton and Stevens counties, Kansas. The crops on our farms in Missouri also promise a good return and While this editorial is being written the thrashing outfits are busy on the farms owned by the college. The estimate made by the Budget Committee as to income from farms this year will be more than realized we believe at this writing and we hope increasingly to find our land holdings a source of increasing revenue to college funds.

We want all our people to know the hymn and appreciate that the words used embody the aspirations of all those connected with the life ofthe college. Ozark Wesleyan College is a Christian institution, justifying its existence only because it surrounds the student with Christian atmosphere while the student is absorbing the el- ements of knowledge in science, liter- ature and history. While the curric- ulum of Ozark Wesleyan College is the same as that of every other college institution the fact that Christian men and women give instruction in the ap- proved courses helps the studentto have a proper appreciation of the spiritual and ethical background which must support all knowledge and the fathers and mothers who send their boys and girls to Ozark Wesleyan College can rest assured that the very best influences will surround their children while at Ozark Wesleyan College.

6 THE' OZARK WESLEYAN COLLEGE BULLETIN will spend the month of August in preparation for the work of the acad- emic year. 1 This is a pictorial Issue We are running in this issue a number of cuts of the college build- ings and scenes and the stranger who has never visited Carthage will be able to get some idea of the very fine buildingin which the college is doing its work. . College Print Shop For the past several years the Col- lege Print Shop has been housed in a building adjoining the boys dormitory on the campus but it is now ,being moved into the basement of the col- lege-building where a fine space has been excavated and concrete flooring set. The print shop under Mr. J. L. McKeehen'is becoming an important department of college service. Six youngmen are being kept busy dur- ingitheir spare hours out of school under Foreman McKeehen. This de- partment not only supplies work for thesestudents but enables the college to do its printing more expeditiously and economically than under other circumstances. p- .An Epociai Proposal g up From the standpoint of humanity and civilization all waris an assult up- on the stability of human society and should be surpressed in the common interest. The government of the Unit- ,ed States desires to see the institu- tion of war abolished and stands ready to conclude with the French, British, Italian, German, and Japanese gov- ernments a single multilateral treaty open to subsequent adherence by any and all other governments, binding the parties thereto not to restort to war with one another. These words are taken from the Kellogg proposal to the government of France last February. Here .is a clear-cut, unambiguous, and uncondi- tional offer on the part of the govern- ment of the United States tojoin with the government of France in tender- ing to the civilized nations of the earth a treaty outlawing the institution of war. Qualifying adjectives and reser- vations are conspicuous by their ab- sence from this proposal. The Uuited States government makes a bona fide offer so simple, so far-reaching, and fundamental that it deserves the ap- plause and support of peace lovers and people of good A will throughout the world. r The Kellogg proposal is notia pro- posal to abritrate. It simply proposes to outlaw the institution of war. It does not attempt to distinguish be- tweenwars of aggression and wars of defense. As Mr. Ponson by tersely put it in aspeech before the British Parliament: The myth of aggression keeps the war game going. As a matter of fact the only valid defini- tion of an aggressor nation is: An aggressor nation is the nation you are at war with. Every nation partici- pating in the World War insisted and still insists that it was a fighting war of defense. To outlaw only one kind of war would be as absurd as it would have been to outlaw aggressive duel- ing instead if dueling itself. Mr. Kellogg's note recognizes that war in and of itself is barbarous and should be illegalized by nations of peace-loving people. It says in effect that even if diplomacy, conciliation, arbitration, and judicial procedure all fail, the covenant-making nations shall not attempt to settle any inter- national disputes by force of arms. Nothing will advance the efficacy of the method of arbritration of interna- tional disputes as will the absolute re- nuciation of the institution of war.
