CooperTalks At College Opening The thirty-third year o f Cedarville Collect opened Wednesday with the largest attendance in the history , of the institution* More than 200 stu­ dents are enrolled. In S3 much as the College Chapel would not accomodate the students and the crowd attracted by the pres­ ence o f the Republican candidate for Governor, Myers Y . Cooppr, the open­ ing exercises were held in the public school auditorium. The College gym i? Uncompleted and it made it neces­ sary to seek other quarters. The high school students also lmd the pleasure o f hearing Mr, Cooper p.-3 the speaker o f the day. President McChesney presided apd the Rev, R, A . Jamieson read the scripture lesson followed -by prayer by Rev, William JTilford, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, Xenia. A feature o f the exercises was the . mhsic under tha direction o f Dr. John A . Talcott, head o f the Department of Music o f the College, He was assisted by Misses Helen Iliff and Dorothy . Oglesbee, Mrs. Walter Corry, and Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Turnbull. 'Dr, McChesney,introduced Mr. Hqr- ry Silver o f Eaton, Speaker o f the last House o f Representatives, Columbus, and now Deputy State Auditor, who made a few remarks. Mr. Cooper was given a grent ova­ tion following his introduction by Dr. McChesney. He stated that while he might talk about governmental affairs he had no set speech and did not ex­ pect to make a political speech.. His address was largely from the educa­ tional standpoint but at times made his application apply to conditions not only to the state but the nation. ’ i"Know what you want, get the truth of that purpose and carry out your aim,” he admonished the stu­ dents. We can’t all be senators but we can be filled with the idea o f doing the best we cah. Education is the abil­ ity to know how to do that which has fallen to our let to do,” “ The Obligation of citizenship falls heavier in America than in any couht- xy in the world. The Speaker deplored the foot that over fifty per cent o f the population, exercised their rights of citizenship in voting in 1921 and that only twenty per cent in Ohio voted this year, ; “ Citizenship is our greatest obliga­ tion” , he stated. “When the hearts of the people are appealed to in the right manner, then only will there bo bet­ ter government. One in every twelve o f the young people before me will participate in government in future years if the present ratio is.maintain­ ed.” , *‘ Some business men boast that they are not interested in politics and crit­ icise the government, but the need ’ is fo r them to get interested in its functioning and see that conditions are -bettered. “ Usually it takes some crises-to get the pul lie interested in government, such as the World War, A t that per­ iod, everyone laid aside his personal interests to see that those o f the gov­ ernment were maintained. That state o f mind is needed always at all times, "Some people who have no tax re­ ceipts labor under the delusion that they they do not pay tares, whereas 4 the figures show that everyone in the state paid $350 in taxes, on tha aver­ age, fast year. The coat o f govern merit is heavy* ,'.nd the Ohio State government needs a business man at .its helm,” the speaker said. A t this point he quoted figures to show tlie increase in cost o f state government b y comparisons in per1cent. Mr. Cooper stressed the need of all ‘ young people being Interested in state government, and national as wall, mdflM “GOSH, rrs HARD TO CHOOSE THE >AD’* .By A . ft CHAPIN “ There is some complaint o f this be­ ing a fast age, an idea o f which I d° not share,—-it is just a ‘fast age’ for slow people. With all due respect to those who have gone before, I venture the opinion that the boys and girls of present day colleges will go out in the world and make a better reflection on their education than in - past years, since they are better fitted fo r th e , tasks of the world. “ No great work is brought about without hard work and ceasless toil. Dcn’t hurry. Don’t try to begin where t your fathers ended. Begin at the b o t-1 tom. Don’t be easily discouraged and ! a quitter. There is more room at the top than ever before and more reach­ ing the top. You must know how to get there and build with the right preparation.” - API/ERTUSIVG. thg i f fcUt/s i hi e s s COuRvgi AB* HAEfcCHAV] " “ W i l l , h 4 h „ , . . v ' T V V , - *rr y .

I only wish that-I might be able to' travel fo r the same fare. How far. is it, you' m^y ask ? Well it is a distance that must be measur­ ed in terms of five figures. What was its traveling route? Aftbr leaving New York City and a journey across the Atlantic, it disembarked fpr a train journey across Europe to Brin­ disi^ Italy. From here it had a boat ride across the Mediterranean to Port Said and thence a train ticket to Sh.ellal, 'Egypt. Here ' &again board­ ed a boat forW ad ia Hala, the Sudan. It started a dusty desert ride of 500 miles _from this place to Khartum, Sudan. It was then carried across the city and placed upon a Nile Steamer for a twenty days journey to Gam- belia, Abyssinia. A native Yimbo, then put it on his head and crossed on foot forty miles o f mountainous country between that point and its final destination. How was all this done for two cents? That I cannot answer and the. reader must solve it for himself. / How did I get here? I came over somewhat the same rpute as did the Cedarville Herald with the exception that instead o f being carried on the head o f .a Yimbo, I rode astride the bony structure o f an Abyssinian mule After twenty-four hours ride'astride one o f those noble beasts, I must say that I have more respect for such an animal than- ever before. ‘ They are Sure-footedness personified and’ are often able to pass over places which are most impossible fo r .’travel by the upright Genus o f Homo. ed in by the people o f the country. When we arose from the table we ' found that we had dined exactly three hours. I happened to be seated be­ tween the Governor and his wife and as all the food started at that comer of the table, the duty Tell to my lot to set the pattern in quantity and man­ ner o f food taken. I was glad o f this position when we came to the green pepper course seasoned with red pep­ pers and red pepper, As one passes up the White Nile and the Sobat rivers an excellent op­ portunity is given to watch the na­ tive life which abounds along the shores during that twenty day jour­ ney.

Several things attracted my interest in this part of the world. I shall name -but a few. I Rave been teaching in the college in Assuit, Egypt, and during our sum­ mer- vacations we have three months for travel. This trip permitted the visitatio^ o f all o f our United Presby­ terian Mission Stations in Abyssinia and the Sudan with the exception o f Addia Ababa. We have been permit­ ted to do a little hunting. It has per­ mitted a study o f the habits and life of certain African tribes and Ethiop ions of which the world does not have a very large knowledge. The country o f Abyssinia is a con­ tinual succession o f mountain ranges shrouded in the distance by a purple mist. The climate, though we are only about five degrees above the Equator is quite cool at this time of the year, even to such an extent as to require heavy woolen clothes. The thermometer seldom registers higher than 70' degrees. This we found to be quite,a contrast to the 120 degree temperature which we left in Egypt on the 20th of May. This tempera­ ture, by the way, was in the shade but there is very little shade when the temperature rerords that high a level. The senic beauty o f the country re­ minds me very much o f the Lake Ge­ neva region in Switzerland, through which we traveled last summer. What about the people o f this country? They are still governed by the old Mosiac Law, “An eye fo r an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.” Their ruling Queen and Prince Regent Has Tafari are supposed to be directly de­ scended from King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. A creditor is fasten ed to the body o f his debtor and they move about together until the debtor is able to raise the necessary sum. A criminal is punished by the amputa­ tion of his right hand and his left foot. The overage wage is a tamone per day. (A tamone is equivalent to Their agricul* one piece, yon would not have' enough to’ flag a Pennsylvania hand car. Various kinds o f game abound in great numbers. Hippopotami and crocodiles are seen in abundance on the white Nile: Tiang and gazelle are found in herds near the mouth o f the Sobat. Water buck and bush buck are found on the shores o f thq Baro river. Baboons and monkeys o f all varieties are found inhabiting the trees through this part o f Abyssinia. During our stay at Doleig Hill we had some good hunting. I was suc­ cessful in bagging quite a number o f Wild ducks and geese which are found jn great numbers on ponds nearby, I also shot a couple o f' gazelle, a bus-, tard, and a 600.pound bull tiang. My prize, specimen was a lion -which I kil­ led with a .305 soft nosed high power­ ed rifle. It required a chase o f some two hours duration. It measured nine feet and four inches in length. I t was the first lion that had been killed near there since 1914 when Mr. Tidrick of the American Mission was killed by a lion which he had injured. No doubt you wish that I had not received the Herald in Abyssinia for then you would have been relieved o f this rending.
