ItUKHltfc It is ini|.-ssible a. make a
pjd Crass drive this year the
-jden!3 <■: Penn State, an opportunity
given to them :•« contribute to
* .Vation.il Red Cross this week. The
-mjalgn is to he munairetl. as usual,
•nroush the uni: system ami the fra-|
and everybody w-.1l bo afforded;
“chance to w his dollar for annual
ffl *mber--hip in this organization.
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. Of the total
budget less than $5U0.000 is allotud for
management in the National organiza-
One of the bit; serviced that the
American Red Cross id rendering to
die country* is itd care of the disabled
OL-service men, of which there were 27,-
07 under government treatment lust
June. 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. UNABLE TO

The executive force of the Bacter-
Wogy Division has been greatly de-
Pltted, and for that reason, according

GENEROUS RESEARCH GIFT !■
RECEIVED BY HORT DEPT;
The real spirit was recent.v shown to-1
wards Penn State when a Pennsylvania!
fruit grower sent the Department of!
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.
TWENTY CO-EPS .SION UP FOR
BOXING AT UNIY. OF ILLINOIS
Twenty women of the University of
Illinois have signed up for boxing. This
is the first organized boxing undertaken
by the women of that university. The
classes wilt be held out doors, unless
weather prohibits, and the coach, Miss
Irene Streed, plans to divide the class
into three groups, one of which will
box while another will be running, ami
the third group will be doing calisthen
ics. “Exercise is the motive back of
the whole idea", says Miss Streed.

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.

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.

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."

<3xCen Up To?
"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.
