Tlie follow who says all territory west of the Rockies will be cold and rainy throughout the summer may be a pood weather prophet but he is in danger of his life in Portland durinp; the Rose Festival. A Portland resident says that his modest lose garden has suffered from neglect and now has only 12.r varieties t'frpses when he formerly had 189 varieties. Shades of Kajfljjas sunflowers! we would boast the rest of our lifj if we only might possess as many varieties as he lost. WHAT COLLECKS MAY IK). ...At a time when college graduates are going out into active life and high school graduates are considering or anticipating a college career, both parents and students aroTinclined to ponder what colleges do for those who seoji their advantages. Like the hair-lipped, palsied man calfed on for a testimonial at a revival meeting who said "He d near mined me," some people are still inclined to jiolieve that a college education will "ruin" young peo ploj but their number is constantly diminishing, i (True it JtTthat some youngsters are ruined, as far as lieifcg cri gi'Ml'Jxlupnlitc citfzeinv is concerned, when' -l !;" gebj through a college or university. Rut the education is notj responsible the tendency for ruin was already there; tho process of education merely hurried its culmination, Ahcji is usually a fortunate thing for society. ' fflie great niiijoiity of our college graduates emerj;v witji their degrees a credit to themselves, their parents. I'm! their communities. And contrary to the advice of th RoiM' Statesman recently which said, "Forget that you evef went to college," we would urge that the graduate ivnjcmber it constantly but ivmcmhcr it in the . light ol ihiuigetl surrountlings and broader aspects of life. A col li gt graduate shoultl not forget that he ever had higher i'diation but he shoultl remember that his education is a fouiidation, not a tall building. He should remember that lnsj education does not make him of some superior quality thciday he is graduated, but gives him the opportunity and abibly to gain that quality more rapidly through the years thaii would have been po.-sible otherwise. He shoultl re hietnber that his education does not qualify him for a higher wage than anyone else starting in a new job. but thifl it qualifies him for more rapid advancement and quicker approach to a high wage if he rpplies himself, if he hail energy ami ambition and devotion. , Jl'ho world does not owe anything more to the man with h till ege education than to the man who has none, or t" llieman who has been graduated fiom the I'niversity o' J lard Knocks, but it is glad to pay well and pay quickly for ability and accomplishment. If the experience, the training and the vision that a college education offers i t'tiB?.ed, a high quality of ability and a high degree of ac complishment is assured eventually. iUany young people who attend our colleges and uni verjsities will never accomplish anything by virtue of that t:rionco. but it means inuch in later life to those who! make the most of their opportunities. Kvery youngste. j wltp has (he ambit ion to Sn, and who is not prevented by! hoijie demands, can and should grasp the opivrtunitics oui ! sih.'ols afford. .Money is not necessary if the desire U sting enough, as shown by lecords at Kith Oiv;;vn iv iosfitutions wheiv both beys and girls uoik their w . e:r)' after year.

(API The Itrit ieh National Temperance League is making .strenuous efforts to con vert ICuglMi school teachers to its aims. Uecently tho league enter tained the delegates of the National I 'nion of Teachers at an txford breakfast, given, it is worth while noting, in tin- hall of Christ church, which in times past was noted us a heavy-drinking college. Many Oxford notables attended or an nounced their sympathy with the movement. The vice-chancellor, whose of fice is somewhat equivalent to that of the American university presi dent, pointed out (hat drinking has dec n -used enormously in the uni ve rsil y d u ri ng the paM 2 U ycu is. fie ."aid that in his undergraduate days the usual entertainment was the wine party, whereas today ;uieh part ley wa re held only on special occasions, f.s very few stu dents regularly keep wine in their rooms. There was. he said, no rea son for relaxing the prohibition ! campaign on this account. In this he was probably correct, for strict . temperance has not yet in Oxford acquired the lull status of a virtue. The colleges all sell beer, ale and wines to their students on long and easy credits and provide the;;e tl rinks in their halls, und several operate their own breweries. Put at that there has been great improvement, a late seventeenth cent ury chronicler, speaking of Halliol college which is now known as the intellectual leader of Ox ford, said, "There is over against Halllol a horrid, dingy, scandalous Beautiful Draperies Are An Inexpensive Attraction To Any Home YOU will find our stuck of Draperies complete in in every detail, from the daintiest patterns in scrims to the heavy rich silks.
