A DYING SPORT
"Soon the sweat drops will turn to tear drops," reads a numerous necourt of fraternity life in the back pages of the 1927 Jaylawker. How true! Some freshman men who, only two weeks ago, were "sworned" into some various fraternities are, beginning to feel the sting of the padle this week.
The fraternity that is most avid in its rushing is often the most ardent in its beating. The freshman is now able to see through the veer of artificiality that coated rush week and can perceive the fraternity as it really is after regularity of life, has rendered tranquil the organization.
He sees, that the last vestige of the greatest of all former college sports—paddling—are still kept alive in the sinacity of the fraternity home.
Ten years ago padding was one of the most noticeable features of college life. Today, many non-fraternity students do not even know that the "alimine" exists. Universities have banned it. Pan-Hellenic councils have fought it. Individual groups have begun to eliminate the roughest house from the college program.
The result - paddling is fast doing out. The boy who is now in grade school may never experience it. Like pirate wars and bull fights, paddling will soon be a matter of past history. At any rate, let us hope so.

TOO MANY LINDBERGHS
Goodness grenulous, Van, how could you?
TOO MANY LINDBERGHS
When Charles Lindbergh climbed into the Spirit of St. Louis in New York and, three sandwishers later, climbed out in Paris, he started something that world public opinion seems unable to stop. Lindbergh was successful. He deserved to succeed because he is exceedingly capable and he made broadly and adequate preparations for his flight. But even Colonel Lindbergh himself admits that chance plays a large part in such flights—that, in the present state of aviation, there is necessarily a great risk involved.
Since so many lives have been lost in ocean flying public opinion has gradually brought dangerous ocean flights into disfavor. Many projected flights have been abandoned, partly because of this trend of public opinion and partly because the part that is played by chance has been made so impressive by the many places that have vanished into the ocean.
Lindbergh's flight and those following it were valuable because of the interest they aroused in flying which will surely hasten its development. Now, however, little can be gained by such flights and much can be lost by further accidents. It is better to develop planes and motors in the comparative safety of land flying.
One journalism cub, asked about his typing ability and the system he useh, replied, "Lindbergh system; find it and land."
LOOK INTO THE OLD CORNERS
Do you know your University?
This is not meant entirely for freshmen, for they have yet four years to learn about things on the "Hill." But how many seniors know what the fourth floor of the library
is like? Do you know that several classes are held there daily, and that it is not merely space under the roof? A book bidding industry is situated on the campus, and a carpentry shop where many fine cabinets are made is right here in our midst. Do you know that the extension division in Fraser halls sends out lecturers travelling Biwaiwen, movie films, literature and all kinds of material to talks to schools and people all over the state? Again, do you know you University?
"This old school" is not such a dry place if you will investigate a little. Look around a trifle. Then when you go home you will not be completely bewildered when someone says, "I see that they have added more nice racks to the fine collection on display in the Stenner-Thayer museum."
Editorial of the Day
HURDLES ARE NOT LOSING
CHURCHES ARE NOT LOSING
The Protection churches of the
United States are not losing in
massicard, the other hard shell they
are repiting.
This is the answer of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America to the recently published and stricting statement that "the total yearly love wouldapproach about half a million."
The Carroll statement of July 30, accepted throughout the country as authoritative caused a storm of discussion as to the cause of the decease in church membership. Friends of the church rushed forward in defense but were handcased by the apparent lack of data to contour the point. Enemies of the church and critics and cynes were not slave about discussing the reason for the back-calling. Now, however, Dr. Charles S. Macfarland, secretary of the Federal Council, provides a direct answer to the Carroll statement.
Doctor Macardain goes to the federal congress reports to prove his case. And by them, and other statistical collections, he shows that the 25 loading Protestant denominations—in America have actually ranged almost 80 percent in the last score of years. "The fact is," Doctor Macardain says, "that the net result for all Protestant denominations has been a gain in membership considerably excess of the growth in population." That is, the percentage of increase in the membership of the churches is greater than the percentage of gain in the population of the country. The 25 principal Protestant denominations in the United States had a growth in total membership from 18,762,948 in 1900 to 23,638,587 in 1916 and to 27-460,476 in 1926.
To quote from Doctor Macfarland's reply:
"There was never a time in the history of the country when so many people belonged to the churches, never, a time when a larger percentage of the population were church members. In the face of the cold fires, how ludicrous is the doleful imbecile, recently heard in many quarters: "How long can Protestantism stand such losses?"
*From 1965 to 1916, in 25 principal Protestant denominations, the net gain in membership was 4,873,654. From 1916 to 1926 the net gain was 3,827,873. This is a gain of 8,703,527 during the last twenty years. In addition to making up all their losses from death, removal and other causes, the churches have made a net increase in membership of 45.4 percent in twenty years.
"During these same twenty years, the increase in population of the country was 38.5. The churches, in other words, gained in membership much faster than the population."
