He pointed out that the state al-ready limits the profits on public util-ities. It is not at all impossible, hewent on, that the government may gofurther and apply this regulation gen-rally.Making clear that he did not advo-

ate the plan and thdangers in it, he said some substan-tial .capitalists are coming to believethat after a fixed rate has been paidto capital invested, profits shouldprobably flow back to management, tothe workers .and to the consumers.

CURRENT EVENTSCLUB HOLDS MEETING

AT PERKINS'CAMP

Fredus H. Wilcox Speakson Topic "The Two MostImportant Products ofOur Country" — JudgeLawrence Cuts BirthdayCake.

Monday evening the Current EventsClub met with Dr. R. G. Perkins at hiacamp at Lake Titus. At the close ofa warm day the lake region was re-freshingly cool, and when the almost-full moon rose over Mount Immortelthe scene was perfect for the outing.

Dinner was served at a long table atthe end of the living room. Brancheswith brilliant hued autumn leaves werearranged about the room. The placecards at the table were decorated withsprigs of evergreen. The menu in-cluded grapefruit, pickles, olives, bak-ed horn, escallopped potatoes, cauli-

ice•r, hot rolls, jelly, cold slacream, cake, coffee.

A tall candle centered the cake whichwas placed before Judge E. C. Law-rence and cut by him in honor of his56th birthday.

Fourteen men attended the dinnerand meeting. Dr. A. R. Callander,Delaware, Ohio, was a guest.

President Charles A. Boyd announc-ed that H. H. Lamberto ill be hoste hostat the next meeting October 10, thatthe paper on that occasion will begiven by Dr. Perkins, and that FrankP. Kennedy will lead the discussion ofcurrent events.

Fredus H. Wilcox gave the princi-pal talk and Rev. A. R. Cowdery di-rected the discussion of current events.Under the latter head the following;topics were discussed: "Results ofthe Ottawa Conference," Libe Wash-burn; "Political Upsets in SeveralS t h A i PSouth Am p eral

rican Pvepublics," Arthur E.McClary; "Walker and McKee, co;tracted" D. N. Callander; "The Ger-

"Latest Activities in the BankingWorld," F. P. Kennedy; "An EarlierDepression" Rev. C. A. Boyd.

Mr. Wiicox took for his subject "TheTwo Most Important Products of OurCountry." First he mentioned cornand gave some interesting statistics to

how the tremendous size of this cropnd its importance and value. Then;e listed other important crops and

products of the country."But," he asked, "are there any pro-

ducts far exceeding in value that ofcorn, in fact the value of all the fieldand animal products combined? Wevill all admit that the products of our

schools, the boys and girls being: turn-ed out of our educational institutionsare the most important and are of the

:test value of all those produced inour country."

Mr. Wilcox then went on to discussthe product of the schools. An ex-tract of his address follows:

"That nation is greatest which putsthe child first in its thinking, in itsstatecraft, in its business, in its ideals>f conduct. The nation that has the

highest reg-ard for childhood will leadall others in health, intelligence, mor-ality, efficiency and happiness. It willreach the greatest heights of nationalprosperity, both material and spiritual.The race moves forward through itschildren,

'The curriculum and subject matterour school, today, are planned to

give a maximum development of ma-turing youth resulting in individualswho through life will be able to bud-get time and plan theu- lives, to be ac-tive rather than passive, be workersrather than drones, be possessors ofmany and varied interests, and bebroad in human sympathies.

"But are our schools producing thevery best and highest type of man-hood and womanhood? Are they keep-ing alive the humanistic side tn ourboys and girls, and not letting themforget that, rightly handled, all theproblems of life are human. This ismany times forgotten. In our busyday we have inverted so many things.Our industry expresses itself in termsof profits, instead of use. Our laws—over 90 per cent of them, it is esti-mated—have to do with property.Many of our large churches even, rentor sell their pews, deal in mortgagesand leases, pay large salaries until it

i seem sometimes that they hadforgotten that their real function iswith the human soul. The finalthought and impression of a studentshould be essentially humanistic forthat has to do fundamentally with theaffairs of daily life.

"The schools should at ail times, andpossibly more than they do, emphasizethe ideal to live for loved ones, forpublic duty and the rights of men.
