Due W the Student Drive that was ,-onducteJ this year and the drains on •he purses of the students, an organized was felt 1“ he hardly fair to the undergraduates. However, the work of jhe Red Cross goes on ami must have fi raacial support, especially in its for*, ;£Q work in the Near East at this time. 1 Jhere over a half million human beings ixe looking to the L’nited States ami its emergency organization for their only h(«>e. An appeal is not made so much for the local Jfcd Cross, as it is for the organization. The average layman looks on the Red Cross as an organization of war. liut such is not the ease, sis those in a position w know will testify, as the Ked Cross is the only means possible for ai !e ri.iting much of the suffering of the irorld. At the time of a tlood, earth quake, or tire, the Ked Cross steps to the front and shows itself to be a true friend in need. While the budget Is being cut down year by year, a member ship of ten millions is needed for the approaching fiscal year. The responsi bility of the domestic service of the Red Cross is greater than ever this year. And yet, the foreign budget totals over 13,W0,000. nearly two thirds of which is w go fur-medicinal” relief and hospital supplies for Russia. Another big item, which is the child health service in Eu rope. must be continued. In regard to domestic aid .the amounts set aside are as follows: for distaster relief, $750,000: for emergencies in chapter work $500,- W 0; for service and assistance to the 3,300 Chapters and their brandies $!,- 203,000; for assistance to other organi zations and educational institutions for training Ked Cross nurses and workers; jIJO.WQ for Roll Call assistance fur nished to chapters; and $lOO,OOO for un foreseen contingencies.

This service which the lied Cross renders Is of a wide variety to the men and their families,-and of such a na tare that the government is not author ized to extend. Quoting from a recent rstement, ••Through its Chapters, the American Red Cross is equipped to iind the individual ex-service man, help him in bis problems and diilioulties, provide immediately for his necessities, and open tbdway for him to government compen sation and aid to which he is entitled.” Not only in this way does the Red Cross l«nd its aid to the country, but also by aiding in such things as mine disasters asd other big public calamities. The campaign for State College was held last Sunday, and was very success ful It was thought to be a better plan to wait until later for the canvassing of the students as house party and numerous other diversions were taking place at the time. The canvassing of the students will probably not start until tomorrow, in order to give those who went to the Penn gome a chance to morn. BACT. DEPT.

Horticulture a check for two hundred dollars and the privilege of using his] farm for carrying on research work. j About two years ago the State Leg islature lessened their appropriations f*>r this work, causing the research work to be limited. This citizen, realizing the need of the work, has given the Depart ment two hundred dollars annually for the past two years besides the use of his orchard. TOPIANS OUTLINE PLANS FOR STATE ARBORETUM Landscape Architects Undertake Work on Collection of Penn sylvania Shrubs Tile Toplans. a recognized organisa tion of the students in Landscape Arch itecture, have started upon an endeavor to acquire for the college a new arbor etum and Botanical Garden. Already two definite starts have been made to wards such a venture. First, the Col lege has in mind the creation of an ar boretum of trees indigenous to Penn sylvania, <m the golf links. Second, a collection of shrubs has been planted on ground south-east of the college green-houses which was given them for that project by the college. It is not the Idea of this new pro posal to belittle the work already start ed. but rather to augment it. The ar buretum of Pennsylvania trees is es pecially beneficial to students-in fores try and even a casual inspection of the shrub collection by the green-house will enlighten one upon the necessity of more space and bolter care. Letters endorsing this proposal of the Topians have been received from R. L. Watts, Dean of the School of Agricul ture, Professor 1L G. Bressler, Dr. S. W. Fletcher, and Professor A. W. Cow ell. The propsition is also being taken up with President John M. Thomas who seems to bu heartily in favor of it. It is not supposed that tho Topians should accomplish the creation of the project in one*year, but they do hope that It will start a project that will give to Penn State facilities for proper in struction of Landscape Architecture that will make it second to none. If the project for Penn State becom ing u State University succeeds this will be the logicul place for a Statu Ar boretum. It is proposed that the Thompson Spring land location be made into an arboretum and park, which will mean that State College will have an appropriate entrance, by camouflaging the disposal plant. The one thing that is holding up the proposition is the question of money, but it seems that it is the duty of the college to give the land for the expansion of this depart ment, and to permit them to progress so that it may enter into the scheme of a State University. If this project suc ceeds it will not only benefit Penn Suite but through the results of research work conducted in the arboretum will be beneficial to the whole state.

Ingmoll, Prea. 461 Fourth Ave., New York City AN APPEAL FOR CAMPAIGN WORKERS In nearly, all the counties of Pennsylvania the work of the Campaign lags and suffers for lack of real workers, canvassers with tact and grit and some acquaintance with those who might make a subscription The plain truth is that the Campaign is in dire need of student canvassers uho are willing and able to do the hard work of securing pledges in their home towns and counties. Students of Penn State, your college needs you for this work during the Christinas vacation. In the words of the Scripture. "The harvtist indeed is plenteous, but the laborers are few," This Campaign is being conducted for your College, A team of student workers is, urgently needed for practically every county. The President and Secretary of every County Club arc hereby asked by Campaign Headquarters tn act as a committee to sign lip 'a team of canvassers for their county, and to report this list to Headquar ters. If not already secured, a list of all students in anv given county can be obtained at the Registrar's Office. Half of those have already been handed out. Here's a fine opportunity for Penn State students to show their |.,y . See the Chairman or Secretary of your County Club now. During the first week in December the Headquarters OiMoe will undertake to give you the necessary training for this work.

The Association is based on the Land- Grant Act of 1562 which provided land for each state in the Union that wished to advance agriculture through a col lege. Each state was given 30,000 acres for .each senator and representative in Congress. The share of Pennsylvania was TSO.OOO acres which was secured by friends of Penn State, then the Farmers' High School, for the present institution. The land was directed to be sold and there was realized $439,186.- 80 which was later turned into long term state bonds, the interest from which is $30,000 a year.

THE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN EDISON STATES VIEWS ON COLLEGE-BRED MEN America’s Inventive Wizard Says College Graduate Objects To Strenuous Work "Modern colleges are not what they should be", stated Thomas A. Edison, America's inventive wizard, in a recent interview which he gave u.Princetoniun reporter at his laboratory in Orange, N. J. "1 do not approve of the present day college graduate, for as a rule the right kind of men don't go to college. Take the average college man. his know ledge of his surroundings and his en vironment is usually Inadequate. What young men need is a broad general un derstanding of every little thing in life, such as would fit them to be able to an swer my questionnaire. “The main objection that I have against a college graduate is that he objects to work, especially if It Is dirty," continued the distinguished scientist. "College is a good place* for the man who wants to work, but unfortunately there are very few of this type nowa days. Yet if a man wants to-succeed, it Is not a necessity that he should get his education at college. I have found out,” continued Mr. Edison, “that*what ever a man is doing during the first six weeks after he gets a job, he will be the same after sixty years and no amount of advice will have any effect whatsoever In changing him. When he is twenty-one years of age. he is set for life and if a dullard then he will continue so through life. The main quality for success in my estimation is ambition with a will for work."

"There may be something in this new art,” you say, "but'l don’t get it; one modern thing looks as queer as the next to me. What’s it all about—what are the new men up to?” is the one American magazine to intelligently explain the mean ing and interpret the trend of the new movements in art and literature. It is the only magazine which publishes side by side the best 'work produced by Americans —the best <work produced abroad the best 'work in traditional styles —the best 'work in the modern manner in fiction, poetry, essays, criticism, and reproductions of the' fine arts. You know that in a few years certain of our contemporaries, whose work is anathema to the present generation, will stand out like giants.. They will be hailed as great artists and geniuses by those who now lack the critical discernment to understand what they are trying to do. The genius of Swift, Milton, Blake, Mohere, Ibsen, Shelley, Poe, Thoreau, Melville, and Whitman, to. mention only a few, went unrecognized, except by the dis criminating minority, in their own generation. Don’t wait for the next generation to sec your contemporaries in perspective, hut enjoy their work now in The Dial, and accord them your appreciation while they are yet alive. In addition to the best work by the new generation, The Dial presents the finest work by established, writers: Joseph Conrad, E. A. Robinson, George Moore, Thomas Hardy, and Anatole France, appearing side by side with Sherwood Anderson, E. E. Cummings, Waldo Frank, Van VVyck Brooks, T. S. Eliot, D. H. Lawrence, and Ezra Pound. The Dial thus offers you the unusual pleasure of comparing and criticizing. READ THE DIAL and Jtnotv the •world of modern art and letters as it is. THE DIAL FOR NOVEMBER contains among other things THE WASTE LAND T. S. Eliot first long poem bv Mr Eliot in several years, the player queen W. B. Yeats —a full length play in prose—fantastic,.humorous, and poetic. AND THE SECOND INSTALMENT OF many marriages Sherwood Anderson —a new novel by the most important and interest ing figure in contemporary American literature. Many Marriages surpasses anything Mr Anderson has previously written, and the first instalment in the October Dial has already created a grear stir in itterary circles. This significant novel will be con eluded in the March issue. OTHER CONTRIBUTORS EZRA POUND PABLO PICASSO DUNCAN GRANT BERTRAND RUSSELL ' ARTHUR SCHNITZLER ON ALL NEWSSTANDS I 1 ~ ! Wow!
