T he celeb ratio n of th e seventy-
fifth an n iv ersary of th e estab lish
m ent of th e lan d g ra n t colleges by
Congress has em phasized th e fact
th a t dem ocracy in h ig h er education,
as embodied in the M orrill act in
1862 has had to be defended from
th a t day to th is ag ain st a tta c k s
both from w ith in and w ith o u t th e
ran k s of professional educators.
T his situ atio n was pointed out In
addresses before th e an n u a l confer
ence of a g ric u ltu ra l and home ec
onom ics w orkers a t Oregon S tate
college by C hancellor-E m eritus W.
J. K err, and by C hancellor F re d
erick M. H u n ter.
Dr. K err, who served as presi
d en t of land g ra n t colleges for more
th a n 30 years, in clu d in g 26 years
In Oregon, pointed out th a t th e lan d
g ra n t college act w as first vetoed by
P resid en t B uchanan before being
signed th ree years la te r by P resi
d en t Lincoln. The act established th e
fu n d am en tal p rin cip le th a t h ig h ed
u cation of th is type was to be u n
der sta te control and available to all
qualified persons.
"T h e land g ra n t colleges, when
successful, m eet a two-fold req u ire
m ent w hich is as valid now as when
advocated m any years ago,” said
Dr. K err.
"T h e dual n a tu re of
land g ra n t college education in clu d
es first, tra in in g of th e best p ra c ti
cal value to stu d en ts in p rep arin g
for m ak in g a living, and second, the
best p rep aratio n for life -through
th e acquisition of a liberal educa
tion along w ith th e p ractical tr a in
ing afforded.”
"A fter th e passage of th e M orrill
a c t,” Dr. K err continued, “ th e
troubles of th e land g ra n t college
advocates had ju s t begun. E duca
to rs of th e old tra d itio n a l classical
school have continuously attack ed
th is dem ocratic conception of h ig h
er education. Oregon S tate college
and sim ilar in stitu tio n s have had to
pioneer in estab lish in g and defend
ing th is type of educational w ork.”
T h a t these a tta c k s have co n tin

out by Dr. H u n ter, who referred to

Get Attention.
Washington.—The vast Atlantic
coastal fishing industry, worth hun
dreds of millions of dollars, at last
is to get a share ot the federal gov
ernment’s protective attention.
Commerce and State department
officials, it was learned recently,
are making plans to negotiate im
portant fish treaties with Canada,
Mexico and several additional Latin-
American countries, for the protec
tion of the existing schools of mi
gratory fish in the Atlantic.
On the basis of this treaty it was
learned, congress probably will be
asked to enact some migratory fish
control legislation for interstate as
well as international application.
Proponents of t|ie treaty pointed
out that constitutional limitations
made it impossible for congress to
enact any migratory bird legislation
until the bird treaty with Canada
was negotiated and ratified, but a
Supreme court ruling held that this
treaty made it incumbent upon con
gress to pass legislation to effect
the treaty.
The same system is being fol
lowed in the case of migratory fish.
Most important among the migra
tory fish, from a commercial as
well as sporting point of view, are
the striped bass and the bluefish.
The latter are particularly im
portant, in that they spend most
of their existence either moving
from north to south along the coast
al banks or vice versa.
While some states have highly
protective legislation, others have
little or none.

vice, on the part of one universally
acknowledged to be master, would
seem anom alous did not spiritual un
derstanding discern their inseparable
nature.
According to the ttrst chapter ol
Genesis, man, in the image and like
ness of God, has dominion— even over
ail the earth. This declaration of
tru th , however, rem ains but an ab
stract statem ent until proved by dem.
onstration. In dem onstration it soon
becomes apparent th at the g reater the
service rendered, and the g reater our
understanding of the spiritual nature
of right service, the more scientifi
cally do we prove our spiritual do
minion.
The meaning of service became
elevated and ennobled recently in the
thought of one who, seeking In a
well-known dictionary for a defini
tion of "serv an t,” found amongst
other renderings, "One consecrated to
God.” Because men are growing into
a better understanding of spiritual
values and proportionately relaxing
tbelr tenacious grasp upon m aterial
things, service Is being recognized
more and more as the way to happi
ness and progress.
When on th at well-known occasion,
the Master, girding himself with a
towel, proceeded to perform the hum
ble service of washing the disciples
feet, he set a seal of spirituality on
service which It can never lose. The
tin t thought of m ortal mind under
like circum stances would be one ot
superiority to such an action. Yet
but I'ttle study shows how there sim
ply could not be anything In mortal
thought superior to the spiritual
qualities which m an —as Christ Je
sus understood him— forever reflects
Of our m ortal selves we do nothing.
Man’s tru e being is In God, and Is
manifested In the reflection of the
Godlike qualities of love, kindness,
usefulness, activity, and service, in
short, in these qualities man express
es the divine Principle. The e\pr«?t-

McIntosh, S. D.—Because a group

bison drive, a “buffalo graveyard”
exists near here today which is so
large it recently was mined for ma

Mrs. Joseph E. Waggoner, of Kel-

of Sitting Bull’s famous command,
tells the story of the mass of bones
and traces it to the years 1825 to
1835.
At that time the Cheyenne, hav
ing driven other tribes from the
Dakota region only to be themselves
forced westward by more power
ful tribes, decided on one last hunt.
Accordingly, they scattered and
started driving herds of bison to
ward a high bluff on the Grand riv

When the animals were milling
near the bluff they were driven

Average American Pays
$2.50 a Week for Food
Washington.—The average Ameri- •
ican family spends about §2.50 a ,
week a person for food, accord
ing to a survey by the bureau of
home economics of the Department
of Agriculture. The weekly food
bill ranged from 65 cents to $7 a •
person last year among 20,000 fami
lies surveyed in all parts of the
United States, the bureau reported.
New England families tend to
spend more money for food than
families in. other regions, the sur
vey showed. Southeastern families,
largely because of the number of
negroes, spend the least. Pacific
coast food budgets are more likely
to provide adequate diets than in
other regions of the country, largely
because of lower food costs, the bu
reau said.
Three-fourths of the small city
and village families in New England
spent less than $3.65 per capita
weekly for food during 1936, the sur
vey showed. The bulk of this group
spent between $2.30 and $3.65 a
week. In contrast with New Eng
land, negro families in the small
cities and villages of the Southeast
spend the least for food of any group
covered by the study.
