Search for Boy Loot Twelve
Years Ago.
The aeemlngly vain hope of an aged
father that he may see hla .runaway son
one mora 1 back or a searcn mat is De-
Ing vigorously prosecuted to find Sidney
Samuels, who ran away from his home in
New York twelve years ago and has been
missing since. Although his family lias
foltowad up every clue It has been able to
find It has so far failed to find a trac of
him and all but the old father have about
given up hope.
George Franklin, a brother-ln-'.aw of the
missing man, la a traveling salesman and
while not engaged In selling good he Is
looking out for clues for his absent rela
tive. Ha -has consulted with the chiefs of
police or superintendents of detectives In
practically eyery, important ... city, in .. the
country In his efforts.
If he Is still alive Mr. Samuels Is 28 years
old. He left home 'With a schoolmate who
aftorward returned home and said Sidney
had found work as a coachman In Toronto.
His father went there at once, but could
not find him. Hundreds of supposed clues
have been followed up to no avail.
"The boy waa one of the kind that was
always working." said Mr. Franklin yes
terday. "&nd this causes us to hope that he
Is a successful business man somewhere.
Although his father attends constantly to
his duties as night chief inspector In the
New York customs house, he Is falling fast
and the fear that he may never see his
boy again is beginning to break his health.
This fact is stimulating the family to prose
cute' the search more vigorously."
George Samuels, father of the runaway.
Is 70 years old. He was for many years a
clerk In the New York pbstofflce. Four
years ago he became a customs house In

The crusade against high school fra
ternities now extends from tha Atlantlo
to the Pacific. Wherever th evil exist
determined efforts are being made to
root It out, and It la only a question of
a year or two before the breeder of
cliques and clan will be an unpleasant
memory. In Chicago, where much re
sistance waa shown at the opening of th
school year, what little remains of the
organisation drags a feebl existence In
dark places, eustalnod by boys and girl
who havo yet to learn and appreciate
th fundamental virtues of obedience to
their superiors. In Melrose, Mass., th
school authorities have outlawed th fra
ternltle and have served notice on the
parents of the offending pupils that un
less they obey school rules they will be
dismissed.. The most emphatic of rtcent
declarations against these organizations
come from Superintendent Frank F.
Bunker of th schools of Berkeley, Cal.
The students have been told that unless
the charters of every fraternity and
ororlty In th school Is returned at once
to th national headquarters those who
retained membership would be sum
marily expelled from the schools. In a
lengthy denunciation of the societies,
which have existed In plte of beveral
rulings of the board, Prof. Bunker de
clared that the fraternities not only de
stroyed th unity and harmony of th
chnol, but also aroused a false social feel
ing by the promotion of cliques.
t'JUVERSlTY OF ILLINOIS.
President James Scores the Practice
of Hasina;.
President James Issued an address to the
atudenta of tho University of Illinois, No
vember 4 on the subject of basing. In
which ha ssld:
"There should be no mistake on the part
of the atudent body or the general public
aa to the attitude of the authorities of the
University of Illinois on the subject of
hazing. It Is a rule of the board of trustees
that students found guilty of hazing shall
be dismissed from the university. Since this
rule went Into effect, all students who have
been clearly proven guilty of hazing have
been dismissed.
Hazing is a violation of good manners
and of tho right of individual liberty. It Is
provocative of public disorder. Public opin
ion throughout the state has very properly
set its seal of condemnation .upon It. On
all counts It must be put under the ban
of the university.
In Its milder forms it is a nonsensical
and almost Idiotic form of amusement, un
worthy of the support or favor of any sen
sible university student. It was looked upon
as a comparatively slight offense perhaps
twenty year ago In amall Institutions. It
Is today altogether unworthy of the tradi
tions and reputation of a national Institu
tion such as this has become.
In Its coarser forms hazing Is a vulgar.
brutal, always demoralizing and sometimes
dangerous form of sport, which the univer
sity cannot countenance or tolerate. It na
turally leads to reprisals and may thus be
come a ' Source or serious disorder within
or without the university. In Its worst
forms, which fortunately have not prevailed
here. It may, not inaptly, be compared
with nlght-rldlng, whltecapplngr and other
similar forms of outrageous Interference
with private and public rights.
Surely these are reasons enough not only
lo forbid its existence at the university, but
to use every legitimate means to stamp It
out.
Speaking under the supervision of the
University of Illinois Bureau of Agricultural
Extenalon, experts In every branch of farm
ing are scheduled to give a total of almost
600 talks and addresses throughout the
rUru aisincis or the state during the
coming six months. There is scarcely a
farmers' institute In the state that has not
one or more university men appearing on
Its program, while the stronger institutes
have booked three or four men for their
courses.
The enrollment of students at the Uni
versity of Illinoi up to November 1. 1908,
reached a total of 217 or 6 per cent over the
enrollment for the year of about 6,000 The
largest Increase Is In the graduate school,
which has advanced from lti5 last year to

this fall for the first time a com plot
course In the practical details of mining
engineering.
During th first semester tha students
are given work In excavation, explosives,
blasting and tunneling, which will be fol
lowed by other course In boring and shaft
inking. In the second semester the sub
ject of prospecting, th development and
the exploitation of mines will be studied,
and the students from th senior class will

a combined area of two acres devoted to
Instruction and research. Besides two
lectures rooms' seating & and HOD persona,
respectively and three smaller lecture
room with a capacity of seventy-ffve each,
there are. seven recitation rooms and also
four large laboratories, one for each of th
four college classes. These laboratories
and lecture rooms are all provided with th
most Improved accessories of modern sci

demonstrations. In, addition to the storage
battery rooms and electric and charging
machinery rooms, there are three machine
shops, a special chemical laboratory, a
constant temperature room, a balance room,
an X-ray room, photometric and photo

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL FARM.
Institution Which Should Be Added
to the Public School System.
If fresh country air and freedom are
good for little children. Bays the Crafts
man, how much more Important are the
healthy country Influences and activities
for those of larger growth boys and girls
who now spend their Idle summer hours In
the streets getting1 Into all sorts of mis
chief and not Infrequently learning to bo
criminals because there Is nothing else at
tractive within their view. If a great city
like New York or Chicago would add a
thorough farm Industrial school plan to
the already well ITOnflged school system
the moral anJ. .Intellectual gain would be
so great aa 'o fully Justify the proportion
ate additional expense. There never was
a time when It was more needed, and Its
effect would bo felt In a,! parts of our so
cial life.
We cannot expect- the foreign countries
Iways to supply the energy for the farm,
as they are so largely doing now, or can
we get the best agricultural results with
out putting a larger percentage of our best
native ability Into If. I believe there Is no
channel by which the country can be sup
plied, and the congestion of the cities re
lieved, so potent with regard to results as
this system of Industrial farm schools
would be. Furthermore, the fact that the
farm Is the best place to train people for
real life and work Is amply proved by the
large number of country-bred boys and
girls who find their way to the cities and
dominate In business and In the affairs of
city life.
GREAT OPPORTUNITIES.
Secretary Root's Advice to College
Htndcnts.
"You are now standing on the threshold
of great opportunities," writes Secretary
Root In l.slie's Weekly. "In all ages
never were so many avenues to success
open to the young man of power. Intellect,
and force of character. In all the coun
tries of the earth there Is not one In which
these personal characteristics are in such
demand as In this peaceful, orderly America
of ours. You are not to be mere store
houses of dry learning, all covered with
dust, but you are to learn to be men.
Boundless possibilities are yours. You will
either fall or attain the brightest success.
It is not ao much what you learn aa what
you become. Now la the time for character
forming. You are to be great and successful
or failures In life. You have now that
which all the world envies youth. It
now rests with you to commute that with
capacity for happiness and power to work
well, and my best wlehes go with you."
Boyle College.
Whilo a majority of the students of
Boyles college are from Omaha and the
Immediate vicinity, there are many from a
distance. A young woman arrived a few
days since from the sunny southland, her
home being on a cotton plsntation at
Friars Point. Miss. A few days later a
young ma arrived ' from Church's Ferry,
N. D. The town of Church's Ferry Is not
far from the Canadian line. The student
passed through St. Paul, Mjnneupolls and
Bloux City, preferring Boyles college to
th Institutions In any of the three towns.
These two pupils represent geographical
extremes from which the college gets pu
pils, and Is suggestive in showing that
Omaha Is well advertised by the college
literature.
As in all educational institutions, a great
many student of Boyles college pay their
own expenses. Two former students have
recently returned to school who have been
earning money to complete the work. One
of them wa employed on a fruit farm at
Rifle, Colo.
Another young man alio ha been work
ing hi way through school has Just closed
a season of professional base bail, playing
forty game during the season. He thinks
his education will be of benefit, even If he
goes into the professional ranks of th
big leagues, where he hopes to be In a
few more year.
Business education is taking on a new
meaning among farmers. The Idea has been
prevalent that when a young man left the
farm to take a business course, he was
forever done with the farm. With im
proved methods and better development of
resources It is necessary that one know
something of bookkeeping and business
form In order to Insure greater success.
There was a time when what a farmer
had toft at th end of th year represented
his profits nothing left, no profits. Now a
mm
r
knowledge of bookkeeping places the farm
and farmer on a business basis and he
knows "where he's at" any time. Business
college education will save a young farmer
from making onesided contracts or invest
ing in a carload of lightning rods that he
does not want.
Three young men went out from Boyles
college this week to take stenographic
positions at division points along the
Union Pacific, one at Grand Island, one
at La'ramte and one at Rawlins. The two
In Wyoming are to get J65 per month and
the one at Grand Island $00.
COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY.
Feat a res of the Annual Report of the
President.
The annual report of President Nicholas
Murray Butler to the board of trustees of
Columbia university allows that although
the amount of money received in gifts by
the university during tho years 1007-08 Is
lens by more than I2&0.000 than the preceding
year the operations of the university were
conducted without any appreciable defi
ciency and without a further addition to the
debt. By practicing the most rigid economy.
according U Dr. Butler, the financial condi
tion of Columbia has been brought into a
more satisfactory state than has been the
case In a dozen or more yearj.
Thu. endowment of the university In real
estate. Including the property owned and
occupied for educational purposes or held
for Investment, Is placed at 33.78l,621.51.
against which there is outstanding debt
of $3,489,166.40. Of this amount the fee
from students will provide $1,045,730.41.' and
the remainder is made up from rents. In
terest and miscellaneous aources. There
was a net gain of 521 students In 1907-0S
over the preceding year.
A summary of the total gifts received
during the year shows that they amount?, I
to $1,077,933 87, while the gifts in 1904-07
totaled $1,300,590.80. During the seven years
1901-08 Columbia haa received gifts amount
ing to $10.28t),29U.G8.
President Butler makes an appeal fur
the erection and completion of a number
of new buildings, whose total cost will bu
nearly $2,000,000. He says that the need for
these buildings Is Imperative and that they
must be erected within a very short time
If the university continues to grow in the
same ratio that has marked Its development
In the last ten years.
