The message of the distinguished ex-Provost of the University of Pennsyhania, Dr. Edgar Fahs Smith, to young men and women, is no less inspiring to teachers. John F. Maher, the Principal of tho Maher Preparatory and Tutoring School, says it gives him renewed courage. It couples tho profound learning of Kendall, Jackson, Kranth and their contemporaries with tho vast expanso of the learning of today. Dr. Maher received the degree of B. S., M. S. and LL. B. from the University of Pennsylvania. As an undergraduate ho won not only the respect but tho admiration of his instructors. His entiro life has been that of an educator, and his success is proved by the uniform success of his pupils in tho University of Pennsylvania and other institutions. Doctor Maher was frequently mentioned as a candidate for a Professorship In tho University and was Examiner for the Supreme Court in Latin by appointment of the faculty of tho University Law School. ..... ,., The principles laid down by Doctor Smith are identical with those which havo guided Doctor Maher as an educator. One of the watchwords of the school is: "Think for yourself; don't memorize."

EDGAR FAHS SMITH Ex-Provost of the University f Pennsylvania and connected with that institution for forty-four years as instructor and adviser, Sends This Message Through the Public Ledger to young men and women seeking a school to prepare for life's work. Tho Public Ledger, through numerous channels, is striving to assist nil young people desirous of entering upon a college career. Its aims are deserving of the gratitude of every one directly or indirectly affected. To the boys and girls who read the Public Ledger let me say that such an opportunity is not to be lightly regarded, and as the writer is familiar with college life and all that is embraced therein, he ventures to express himself briefly on tho subje'et. There is not tho slightest doubt but that the young man or woman, coming out of a high school of first grade, possesses a good foundation for tho work of life. In the days when high schools were in their infancy, or even before they existed, there were many young men with meager training who boldly entered the schools of medicine, or law, or theology, or engaged In business and succeeded. So successful were they that, not infre quently, they were cited as examples of tho usclessness of a college course before entering upon the serious duties of life. Take as an example, from among the very distinguished men of our city, Joseph Leidy, the eminent scientist, whose name was favorably known to the greatest European savants before he had attained the age of thirty. His knowledge in several of the sciences was astounding, yet he himself advocated the broadest fundamental training for all who Intended entering upon the career of physician or investigator in medical science. Another equally striking example wa3 tho late John G. Johnson famous throughout this country as a most astute lawyer. It may bo advanced that these men were unusual and exceptions to the generality of the youth of the land who seek to go forward In the professions and business. Representatives might also bo drawn from the finnncial and industrial world, but all these no matter in what lines they succeeded were, in their youthful days, individuals of purpose, possessing unconquerable determination and a genuine interest in the work which claimed their nttention. Coming, then, to the real object of theso linos, viz.: Shall the boy and girl graduato of tho high school seek for further learning by embarking on a college career? tho writer would answer: If they arc alive to the fact that life is a most serious thing and that it behooves them to take advantage of every BORDENTOWN Military Institute PURPOSE: The individual development of a boy's character and scholarshipfor the work of the world in college, scientific school, business or national service. INSTRUCTION) Small classes, individual attention. Each boy is taught how to study. SCHOOL LIFE: High standard of social and moral student life. Supervised athletics, wholesome food, carefully regulated daily program of work and recreation and drill produce sound bodies, capable minds and cheerful dispositions. For catalogue address Col. T. D. LANDON, Drawer C-19, Bordentown, N. J. opportunity to improve themselves, then by all means go to college. Going to college means much and it means little. Today there is such a vast field opened up to the young collegian that if he be in real earnest ho must almost tremble in contemplation of the great and glorious things which he will meet In literature, in the economic, political and social sciences, in history, ancient and modern, and in tho histories of those lands and peoples with whom we have only recontly been brought into closer relations: think, too, of the natural and physical sciences, the problems of engineering, architecture nnd art. The college opens tho doors to these broad fields and surelyhumnnizes one in a most remarkablo way. It is not only the fact that after graduation one is ready to earn a living, but in this collegiate training there come also the power to think and a spiritual uplift which are better than all else. But all these grand opportunities will remain as a terra incognita if tho persons to whom they are presented prove unre sponsivo and indifferent, because of lack of earnest purpose and because of devotion to nonessentials. If thoso who look college-ward really mean to acquire that for which tho college stands, namely, education, then go to college, even if the going means a, sacrifice, if the way through college must be made by one's own individual efforts. Education Is desired. Get it. Pay the penalty. It is worth all tho effort expended for it, But sad, indeed, is the picture presented by tho young collegian who gains admission by "aids," by "crlb3,'' advances by the same methods from year to year, and passes the finals in a similar dishonest way. Vastly beltr would it have been for him had ho turned nwny from college doors and given himself to the humdrum of life with a mental horizon far from that which every normal indivldunl should desire for himself. As tho writer ponders on the opportunities offered to young collegians of th6 present he is filled with real envy. He would love to live over again his own college days. While ho worked hard then, ho would work harder now. But don't think of college unless it is with an honest, sincere purpose to profit from its opportunities. EDGAR FAHS SMITH.

For fifty years -Uranus College has employed all the means at her command in helping students to the full measure of their intellectual, moral and physical inheritance. In the present-day dilemma in which edu cation an essentially broadening process, is contending with training an essentially nar rowing process, Ursinus College takes the position that education should come first and training afterward.. ' To this end, the College confines itself to the collegiate task, undertaking only the four years of' college work in the liberal arts and the pure sciences, and conferring upon its students only the academic degrees representative of this grade of atudy. On this foundation, it encourages its graduates to train for life work in the best university professional and technical schools in the country. Within its chosen field, Ursinus College employs high standards, well tested curricula, professional teaching and adequate equipment for the common purpose of furnishing to the world fully informed and well-disciplined minds controlled by enlightened wills and working in healthy, efficient bodies. To tho extent that our youth have visions of these ideals and aims they will continue to seek admission to Ursinus College, and to the extent that our citizens feel the need of this kind of social product they will support Ursinus College.
