The question of the Bible in pub lic schools is never settled. While the national Woman's Christian Tem perance Union is celebrating its prog ress in placing Bible study in the schools, the recently organized Sci ence League, composed of leading scientists, is launching a campaign to combat the efforts of opponents of the theory of evolution to prevent instruction on that subject in public schools and colleges. One of the aims of the organiza tion by the president of the Science League, is to "Keep evolution in me;have found g0 far and beeause we ! schools and the Book or Uenesis it is the best , we shall out." Some of the members dis- i. find.M. H. B. in Daily Cali-1 agree; they Deheve that 11 Doth sides fornjan are given a chance the truth, pre sumably the theory of evolution, will hold its own. The liberal views of these members of the league who advocate instruc tion both in the Bible and the theory of evolution are surely the more de sirable. But there is doubt of the wisdom time for the date,, for the meeting for something that will take us "from the fireside." Sometimes we talk about what we are doing; sometimes we are silent. And the result is that the family has every reason to say, "We never see Willie and Mary now that they've gone to college." The conviction that we are indif ferent and thoughtless and selfish is helped by authors who went to col lege ten years ago and who now feel it their duty to tell the world about the evils of modern college life and the need for the "old-fashioned home." Ministers find it part of their business to tell mothers why their children "neglect" them, and persons who have never gone to col lege think that stability and domes tic peace will prevail if we will only work eight hours a day. The fact is that no one has con sidered how much time college ac tually takes and no one our fam ilies last of all will deny our right to the pleasures we may get from as sociation with various groups (which must meet) and the enjoyment of parties we will soon grow tired of. If the "Why Go Home" contest would serve to convince these people that students still talk and think about home, it would have done much to add to the peace of both the young and the less young. The essay would show that often the attention put upon college by a student is the result of a desire to please those who are sending mm. ne is inspired 10 strive for the success his father may have won; college is the first step. She may be gratifying her mother) by a social and intellectual success college is the present means. And through it all runs the same respect, the same affection for home that young people ever have had. The family is th efirst to hear of col lege triumphs and the first to hear us complain bout defeats. Instead of questioning our loyalty to home traditions, we need their faith in our ability to succeed in college and their understanding that we are people be sides being their children. We go home because it is the best place we THE RADICAL UNDERGRADS Alumni frequently disturb them selves over the so-called "radical j trend of some Dartmouth undergrad-: uates.

Contrary to the usual statement that most of the important inventions and discoveries have been made, are recent announcement printed in the daily press. A university professor has perfect ed a device for spraying clouds with electrified sand from aircraft and so dispelling them that there is no dan ger to the aviator from that source. A German alchemist announces will be the "young tuals" and the "old conservatives. The "young intellectuals" of today. 1 are the old conservatives 01 w- j morrow. There is a permanence in the whole scheme which is lost sight : of, until one forcibly recalls the facts. Many a father tells his son, 1 when he returns home imbued with j the crusading spirit, that it is only a j "stage." He knows, because the im- minent contact with the spirit ol youth recalls his own radical days. The Dartmouth believes that radi calism is good for the College; for what does radicalism mean, if not a desire to get at the root of things? It is this spirit of curiosity, the de sire to know the fundamentals, that j s so often misconstrued. The un-i that he has. a nrocess for converting mercury into cold, although the j dergraduates of today are curious. amount of gold yielded by a given quantity of mercury is yet so small that the process is not profitable. A Swedish steamer enroute from New York to Hamburg recently used an anti-rolling device with such suc cess that a usual roll of sixteen de grees was cut to six degrees. An Italian announces on the basis of apparently authentic tests that he has a device for the control of torpe dos by radio that is immune to inter ference. This invention will proba bly make private wireless messages possible, be points out. There are yet many inventions to be made. Any professor of science or professional man can name a half dozen problems that require better solutions. The field of research for college graduates is broad. And Ne braska must secure an increase of the physical plant of the University if its research workers are to be on equal terms with others. The College Press "WHY CO HOME?" There is so much said about stu dents forgetting borne in their sel fish interest in education an essay contest sponsored by our critics might be suggested the title being "Why Go Home?" The answers would undoubtedly include the familiar "I go borne to change my clothes before going some place else, I go borne when every other place shuts down," "I go borne to save board bills," many frivolous answers adopted t support the pop ular tradition that be in college is to be lost to mother and dad. Of course our studies take time and we most go to the library a few eights in the week. We cannot go home for lunch because there are friends we may see only at the noon boor. Ia the erenirg we sometimes drift in for dinner and to wait till That is why so much attention is paid to the appearance of radical speakers at Dartmouth. Attention to such speakers is in no way an ac ceptance of their ideas. Rather it is curiosity, the same curiosity which has attracted the attention of stu dents in all countries and at all times to speakers who voice opinions con trary to those of the majority. Un dergraduates without the instinct of curiosity would be a sorry lot. The outside world need not worry over a frank expression of curiosity in a desire to learn. The application of any radical ideas garnered in col lege will be difficult enough, with out ending those ideas by squelching process. The Dartmouth. Notices Iota Sigma Pi.
