              on friday morning dr harvey w wiley made his annual address to the students and town people in the university chapel the atten dance was a manifestation of the interest taken in dr wiley's talks and the chapel was crowded to the doors the subject was public health our greatest national as set in beginning dr wiley spoke of the red tape surrounding the chil dren of the present age and the re striction of the human unit in al most every trade due to this same red tape the children are not given a fair chance and in their early days receive in most cases too much attention wrongly direct ed it is true that children cannot choose their parents and hence mar riage should be restricted the same as the right to vote people who are either mentally or physically de ficient should be barred from mat rimony again children are handicapped by a false system of nutrition and are given so-called baby foods which are hearty enough for grown people their mental nutrition is partly false too what good does it do to teach a child so much foreign geography and similar in consequential subjects when the time could be spent so much more profitably in teaching them the ad vantages of pure air proper venti lation of houses — especially bed rooms proper nourishment and other principles of hygiene and san itation the so-called cooking schools should teach the girls how to boil eggs and potatoes and to bake bread rather than to make cake fudge and ice cream half of the nutriment in the food we get now a-days is lost in the kitchen due to improper cooking and the high prices prevalent now are due to this unskilled cooking the average man is poor and these high prices affect him materially it would be just as easy to decrease his living expenses as to increase his wages in the same proportion this could be done if the food for which he spends most of his money were cooked to the most economical ad vantage the cities are crowded with the poorer class and the efficiency of these human units would be great ly increased if the country were used for production and the city only as a place for exchange the congestion of the cities should be relieved and then

spirit filled with wisdom and the grace of god was upon him the uncertain condition of the weather may have been partly to blame but the drown hall auditor ium presented anything but a really representative lehigh gathering mr johnson however tactfully took advantage of this fact and in a purely informal conversational manner presented his views and discussed the various divisions of his subject continually during the hour one was brought closely into touch with the personality of the speaker his convictions his sincerity and his unbounded faith the meeting was called promptly at eleven o'clock after singing three stanzas from abide with me mr solly the leader read the scripture lesson choosing the text chosen by mr johnson and mr otto led in prayer a second hymn and mr solly presented the speaker mr johnson spoke as a teacher might have spoken to an excep tionally large sunday school class he appeared to address a group of men in whom he was and had al ways been personally interested ; a group with whom he could be only informal and a group of which he was nothing more than the individ ual who for the time being as it were held the floor starting with a recent trip in which he had passed in succession many of our great new england colleges and universities the speak er outlined our vast heritage along educational lines franklin watts stevenson and the associations which these names always imply called forth some impression of the enormity of the legacy of science and invention with which the youth of our day is blessed the great ness of the field of christianity with its nineteen centuries of teach ers and apparently proven truths was next considered whereupon mr johnson showed how readily things material the facts of science for example

game many remarks were heard concerning the absence of any rough playing by either team in the light of the wonderful stand against princeton and the ag gressive work against ursinus there was not a little disappointment over one defect in particular in the home team's playing — the weakness of the line time after time geig the garnet's giant fullback tore through tackle for 6 and 8-yard gains be ing stopped finally by the secondary defense however at the critical periods when six yards more meant a touchdown the line was impen etrable and the quakers attack was repulsed and held for downs
