TIVE SPEAKS ON EDU
CATION,
CIVILIZATION
J. K. Riley, a representative of
Linfield college,
McMinnville,
spoke before the student body
last Wednesday May 4, on the
subject, “Education and Civiliza-
tion.”
Mr. Riley stated that people
should go to small colleges for
a time unless possessing unusual
capacities for leadership. He said
that small colleges have plently
of courses to offer, and that only
so many subjects could be taken
the first year or so anywhere.
He was of the opinion that the
government should be placed in
the hands of really intelligent and
honest leaders and that this prob
lem was in the hands of the ris-
ing generation.
Mr. Riley was the last speaker
of the year and received his due
applause at the conclusion of
his talk.

believes in the will of the majority.
