It is always easy to anâ€" swer assaults of the kind because they consist of vituperation and not logic and cannot stand up under scrutiny. ‘The record of Uncle Sam in his dul-‘) ings with his southern neighbors,| when examined, usually shows that | any advantage accruing has been muâ€"| tual. _ As Commander Shafroth p\ltl it "we have intervencd, in Latinâ€" America only when the states thrm-! selves have been unable to maintain stable government, a right conceded | by international law."

So Antioch is bot! | a tradition and a vision! | The Antioch Program ANTIOCH COLLEGE HAS WON NEW LIFE President A. E. Morgan Fulfills Dream that Began as J a Boy Everywhere â€" people have _ asked mbout "Antioch." â€" Dr. Charles_ W. Eliot (who brought Harvard from the status of a small local college to worldâ€"wide fame) described Antioch as "the most interesting and perhaps the most important ‘experiment now going on in the whole range of Amerâ€" ‘.e ed‘“l\‘_'?:. pulk 12 c10te Antioch _ college | is at\"/ellow; Springs in the southâ€"western corner of Ohio and so called because of a great unfailing spring of water uo‘ surâ€"charged with the red oxide of fron that it splashes the whole,neighborâ€" hood with a deep orange hue. 1 Antioch always has been and still is completely coâ€"educational. It has, however, discarded conventional methâ€" ods and has struck out on original lines. The new Antioch is the fulfillâ€" ment of a dream of its President Arâ€" thur E. Morgan. Morgan realized the inadequacy of the education of the average American under the convenâ€" tional methods of scheols and colleges and the attempt to supply the kind of education which he, like other men in business and industry, had found lacking in the human product of the existing system with which he had to deal in doing the work of the world. Antioch combines in a sitrigle coâ€" ordinated program of six years, a liberal college education, vocational training. a real apprenticeship to practical life. Required cultural courses present controlling facts, printiples, spirit and methods of study, in nearly all important fields of human interest. The vocational courses help students discover and prepare for their callâ€" ings. They deal with fundamental principles of engineering, business, journalism, home management, eduâ€" cation, and other callings, emphasizâ€" ing administrative ability rather than specialized technique. five weeks, keeps ‘interest keen, deâ€" velops responsibility, initiative, knowlâ€" edge of one‘s powers and of practical life, ind helps to find and to prepare for vocations.

Above all else is the aim to develop stable character and moral industrial features, courses of study, aims and purposes of Antioch.) ° (The next article will deal with the CARELESSNESS IS COSTLY Dishonest Vendors of Petrol in Many Instantes Give Less Than Is Paid for, Says Motor Club "It is «â€"fe to say that a majority| of car owners literally turn their backs upon thefilling station attendâ€" ant who is replenishing the car‘s fuel supply," the statement points out. "In the earlier days of motoring when the r;;smlim- tank was located under the cow! or under the front seat, this was impossible, for the tank filling operaâ€" tion had to be carried on under the éyes of the car owner. Now, virtually zll cars boast of gasoline tanks at the rear. Does Not Know "The conventional practice is to drive up to a pump and order five, ten, or fifteen gallons of gasoline. After placing an order, the driver reâ€" mains.seated, pafing no attention to what is going on behind~him. How does he know that the attendant does not put four, eight or thirteen gallons in the tank? The answer is that he does not know. Filling station atâ€" tendants are aware of this and it is only due to the fact that a majority of them are honest that motordom‘s loss through short measurement is not considerably larger than at presâ€" ent. "Oilâ€"companies and owners of "inâ€" dividual filling stations have given unstinted coâ€"operation to the adthorâ€" ities and to the motor clubs attemptâ€" ing to remedyâ€"the short measurement situation, but the motorist must give his assistance in a similar manner if the evil is to be quickly and effectiveâ€" ly wiped out. ~~~ Manipulate Pumps _ ‘ "In a recent raid staged by city ofâ€" ficials with the coâ€"operation of an affiliated club, sixteen stations serving from 500 to 1,000 customers daily were found to have attendants who were manipulating the pumps in such n way that short measurement of gasoline was»resorted to in order to provide them with easy money, the statement points out. In one case, the raiding party found an attendant who, on three different occasions, pumped less than four gallons into the automobile tank on each five galâ€" lon order. _ | goes with it.
