In central Japan, nestles Lake Chuzenji, and above It the sacred mountain Nantat ,San rears its bare crest. Once It was the dwelling place of a pacific Buddhist hermit saint. Pilgrims from all parts of Japan climb Its steep slopes. They are dressed in white robes, carry staffs and rosaries In hand, and chant a Buddhist prayer as they climb. An avenue of scarlet lacquer "torli," or gateways, guides the pllgrlui to the <<hrine on -the,summit Near the peak Is a bare patch of rock, overhanging a steep precipice. On this rock is a heap of swords, daggers and other weapons, rusted with age. In ancient times a man who had committed a deed of blood made a pilgrimage to Xantai San «ndf offered up his weapon in expiation (if his crime. To the Samurai, the warrior, his Henry I swort* was "*s »>ost prized possession, and the murderer who sacrificed his precious sword gave up in atonement what he valued more thanjiis own This heap of ancient sword blades, daggers and other Weapons can be seen on Nantai San It present, a Mttic of feudal times. ! .

WHAT COLLEGE • ! ?T IS the style now for parents who * can afford it and for many who cannot to send their sons to college their daughters, too, not infrequently, though this custom is not so universal. It Is a good style provided the child has normal brains and a willingness to work at whatever he undertakes to do. it Is pretty nearly useless to send anyone to college who does not like to study or who Is at least not willing to take a good try at It whether he likes It or not. Gregory has a boy who has Jut finished high school,.* boy who seems of average intelligence and who Is willing to work his brains if he must Gregory wants know v.-hero to send him, of course expecting me to say that the Institution with which I am connected Is the only one worth mentioning There are those who think that the Eastern college give* a man better training, greater prestige, wider opportunity for culture than does the Western or Middle Western. I "have seen good deal of the colleges of the country from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico and from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans, and I have worked with graduates from most of these Institutions. and I cannot see that Massachusetts has anything on Oregon. It Is largely a matter of point of view. You will find as large a proportion of "boohs," I believe, in Maine as In the Mississippi valley. Usually, after putting the facts before him as Intelligently as I could, Td let the boy choose. Tradition, personal preference, count a good deal la getting a young person easily and successfully oriented. Initial enthusiasm is worth a good deal. All things being equal It is wisest for a boy to go to college where his father did If, fortunately. his -father has enjoyed that privilege. Vhe small college requires somewhat less readjustment on the part of the •tudent on leaving hlgli school; It ifffers less opportunity for contact with students in different currlculums and with different professional ambitions and prospects. It is.^erhaps. better adapted to the shy sensitive boy who will lack the courage and the Initiative to fight his way through a crowd. The problem of coeducation I think need not Influence the choice one way or another.
