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
