How many problems in life are as easy as "rolling off from a log" when we know how to tackle them! Mere wo have been worrying and planning as to how the student body, as a whole, eoukl be made to feel an interest in (he College Settle ment. Now Dr. Sherman comes and proposes a rlan which is simplicity itself and which is sure to be successful if the students see its full meaning. Tt is a 'fickle Scheme.' ' No more and no less than that each student should give just slive cents to this noble work. Could we think of anything more simple more easily done than this? The one difficulty that has overshad owed all others since this work began, lias been that the student body as a whole has not come in touch with it. Now we all know that no one will be very much in touch with any enterprise unless he is personally interested in it. "Bvory student in the university will not go down and take part in the College Settle ment work, so the question has been how 'to bring the work to the students. The Ipla'n suggested seems to be a most happy One in this respect. We do not think that there is a student in the university who would not give this small sum to so noble a work. Every person who puts even this small amount into the work, will if he gives it in the right spirit, foci 'interested. And if people are interested 'there will be no question about the reflex action. A great many people 'have a queer con ception of anything that is labeled Hinr ity." They think of it in general inn sort of a "sack of flour" or "old suit of clothes" way. Now t his idea is. if rightly fostered, a good one so far as it goo Rut here is an opportunity for u- to ttikc a hand in a work not alone to teed tin hungry body, but also the -hungry mi'"' We have the privilege of taking Imrt111 one of the grandest works that humanity knows that of raising our fellow men to a higher plane morally, intcllcetniiHy and spiritualty. All hail the "nuke' scheme" and let every organ'rfition in school as well as every individual briiuc this matter into prominenee and action. While the TLesperian regrets that tin Maxwell elub was unable toscttlMt11 difficulties, it is ready 'lo commend tin 'Chancellor for his tiimety "request llij" !t!ho meetings of the club !be temp n-arily suspended. The affairs of the clublia" reached that point where neither faction would concede anything. Both faction demanded everything. Then was no common ground where these extremis could meet. When the club reconvene it is to be hoped that the judgment of tlij 'Cooler heads will prevail. That the d" will once more become an organr"1011 for forensic training; not a band for 1" purpose of testing "scrapping" ability'
