AN HINDU REVIEW.
Suggestions on Life in India by
M. C Sinha.
FIFTH AND LAST PAPER
. Ia every school and college
there ought lo be a systematic
correlation between different sub
jects and co-operation between
teachers, so that one branch of I
study might be made to help
and illustrate another branch.
For example, the process of forg
ing, brazing and soldering in the
sh ps may be( used to illustrate
the princip'es of physics and
chemistry. The application of
projection and intersection may
be made to illustrate plane and
solid geometry. The exercises
of the machine shop may be
made to illustrate the principles
of friction, heat, electricity, the
that the growing sentiment of
swadeshism and the idea of pat
ronizing one's own countrymen
will more than counteract the
evil effects of government hypno
tism, and the demands tor the
services of the national university
graduates will largely depend
upon the merits of the student
and the teaching imparted.
With the growth cf civilization
and industry the demand for
mining, agricultural, civil, me
chanical, electrical and chemical
engineers is increasing.
Still more recently each one of
these in actual practice has been
subdivided many times as a
necessity has arisen and as special
lines of research and experience
have been opened. Nothing
more forcible invites the youth,
who is blessed with a healthy
body and a clear intellect; noth
ing is more fascinating to the
student than the keen sense of
steam ensrine and compressed air.

can never be popular in India for
the simple reason that the attend

why industrial training has not
been attractive to the youth is to
be accounted for by ihe faulty
methods of teaching, or rather no
teaching. What is wanted now
is tv create enthusiasm and in

students, more thau a technical

willingness to follow tne line of

A large delegation went to Al
bany from this city Friday night
to attend the state inter-collegiate
oratorical'coatest. Between the
orations there were some very in
teresting musical numbers.
Evert L. Jones, of Albany Col
lege, was given first place. His
oration was entitled "The Tri
umph of Principle."
Paul V. Maris, of Pacific Col
lege at Newburg, was awarded
second place, his subject being
"The Patriot of the New Era.'
The third place fell to H. X.
Marcel, ot Willamette University,
Salem, whose oration was entit
led, "The Future Possibilities of
the Northwest. " The idea pre
vails that the general average
was unusually close between the
various orators. OAC received
sixth place on the program and
was represented by John Withy
combe, whose good work was
commended by all. .
The judges on delivery were
Professor L. B. Baldwin, of
Philomath; I. H. Amos, of Poit
land and Harrison G. Piatt, also
of Portland. The judges on
thought and composition were
Professor H. H. Herdman and
Rev. E. L. House, both ofPort-

colleges and universities who
have completed the four-year
course from competing in orator

has made a world of trouble and
discord ! at certain intervals.
Another amendment prescribes
that in the future the program
shall be so arranged that the
speakers will appear in the ordei
of the rotation in colleges. Mc
Minnville will be the next place
of meeting for the oratorical con
test,?? The officers chosen for the
ensuing year are: Mr. Tilbury,
of McMinnville College, presi

treasurer.

secret of America's success in iarr Jal university is nothing short of

they have put educated brains
into the products as well as into
the methods of manufacture.
The national university ought to !
aim at supplying the demand
for trained men in the technology
of every art. The introduction
of engineering features will add
dignity and breadth to the na
tional university; it is essential to
modern education because it is a
a prophet or a seer who has un
consciously sown the seea of
banyan tree, the vigorous growth
of whose roots and branches
would afford shade and shelter
to many a bird that will in future
sing the praises of its first authors
and promulgators.
The name of the national uni
versity in India arouses the
feeling of hope and inspiration.

India has always been famous cupying the dormitories of Har
for her architecture; the builders vard college and who knows to
of Taj Mohol have earned im
mortal fame for exquisite skill
and refined taste. There is no
reason why the national univer
sitv should not produce builders
and architects ot the old calibre
A modern architect must be both
an artist and an engineer. There
is nothing which an artist rqust
not know, and know well. He
must know thoroughly the nature
and limitation of his material s.
He must be able to apply math
ematical analysis to every detail
of his structure. His building
must be both stable and graceful.
This means that he must study
the laws of heat, light, electricity
and transmission of power. A
modern architect should be an
artist, an engineer, and a man
of refinement and culture. No
institution can produce such
architects as the national univer
sity.
Some people seem to doubt,
even today, that the technical
and engineering courses if intro
duced in the university will at
tract students for the reason that
there will be no demand for their
services until their diploma is re
cognized by tne existing govern-
meat.

success and the realization o
his dream, like those of the pro

We, therefore, pray that this
impulse for a united, independent
national life, having sprung out
of tyranny, may serve to deepen,
broaden and fertilize evermore
this great desire for a national
university.
