THIRD ADDRESS ON INDIVIDUAL WORTH
SHAILER MATHEWS DISCUSSES RELATION TO JESUS.
Apparent Inconsistencies in Bible Explained—Considers Christ's Answers Remarkable.
Dean Shailer Mathews gave the third of his series of talks on "The Teachings of Jesus," yesterday afternoon in the chapel. His subject was "The Teaching of Jesus as to the Worth of the Individual."
"The civilization of the time of the Jewish kingdom dealt with individuals or citizens only as he was a part of a great people. But on the other hand, Jesus said that each individual was great if he would trust in Jehovah. There are very few instances of real individuality of the citizens in the Bible, except in the seventeenth Song of Solomon, where it refers somewhat to the individual in the words, 'they shall all be the sons of God.'
"Jesus did not live in a remote period and in an out of the way place, but in the center of the Eastern civilization. The United States is more like this period of Roman history than like England in the sixteenth century.
"One of the providential things is that we must take the concise teachings of Jesus instead of abstract instances. The Bible seems to show inconsistences in the Master's teachings, but it must be remembered that he was an occasional speaker and not a constant writer. His answers to questions thrust at him at any time by friends or enemies are remarkable."
Dean Mathews gives the fourth of his series this afternoon at 4:30 o'clock in the chapel on "Teaching of Jesus as to Wealth."
R. JOHNSON ASSAULTED
Alumnus Badly Beaten by an Irate Father.
Ralph Johnson, '08, whose former home was at Cottonwood Falls, and who is now teaching school at Orchard, a district close to Boise City, Idaho, recently was assaulted by the irate father of some of his pupils, according to the newspapers of that city. Johnson had reported to the county superintendent the absence of the man's children from school and for so donig the father chose to waylay and beat him. When Johnson was about to defend himself a half dozen other men stepped up and his assailant threatened to kill him if he resisted.
Johnson has written relatives that he has no intention of giving up the school and that he is doing everything possible to land the gang in jail. The newspapers of Boise City indicate that the community is aroused and that a wholesale prosecution of residents in the school district may follow.

A school for forest rangers, to consist of a two-year course, winters being spent at the university, and summers in practical work on the state reserves, or in lumbering operations, in the field, may be started in Wisconsin. The proposed school would occupy a unique position, for, outside of the Pennsylvania Ranger School, and those established by the Federal forest service in connection with some of the Far Western institutions, no attempt has been made to meet this demand for expert foresters.

POWER OF NEWS STORY.
More Influence Than Editorial Says Dean Mathews.
"The man who shapes the newspaper, story has more influence than does the editorial writer today, for the latter follows rather than creates public opinion. Let me write the headlines if I am to create public opinion by the newspaper," said Dean Shailer Mathews, in his address on "The Teacher and Public Opinion" in his lecture Saturday afternoon to the teachers attending the high school conference.
"The analogy between teaching and the work of the newspaper may be continued further if the teacher accepts the law of the advertising man that his success comes from making people want something in addition to what they already possess," said Dean Mathews. "If the teacher is a contagious idealist he can not only create a want in his pupils for larger truth but can do much in helping them to supply this want."
"With the teacher moreover, the personal opinion is of great importance because with children it often takes precedence over the statements of parents. The handling of the material taught is as important as the analogous treatment of news in the paper, because the impression made upon the pupil is the valuable element of the instruction.
"Another way in which teachers may create public opinion is to make one nationality out of many. The school is the great agency that is creating a common attitude of mind that shall be truly American. Teachers should look upon themselves as coordinate with editors, preachers and all who are creating the greater tomorrow that is to be."
