Maher Preparatory School
115 S. Thirty-Fourth Street
Philadelphia, Pa.
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."

DR. 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.

COLLEGEVILLE, PENNSYLVANIA
THIS institution concurs fully in the senti
ments of Former Provost Edgar Fahs
Smith as printed on this page. 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.
