EDITORIAL With this number "The Messenger" passes into the hands of the new staff. Let it be our aim to continue the work in the same spirit m which - last year's staff commenced it. Our paper is only in its infancy; it is in the critical perioll of its existence. If it can be safely piloted over this period it will live; if not, it will end in a failure.

In order to make this magazine a success we need not only the nnited efforts of the stall', u ot only the encouragement anr1

l;elp of the whole student body, but also the loyal support of all alumni.

We shall glarlly accept literary contributions from graduates.

Especially shonlcl we lik e to sec more alumni perrnnals rcportcrl to th cclitor of "Alumni K otes."

THE D. M. L. C. MESSENGER

TRADE LOYALTY. During the past year complaints have been heard from the business men of New Ulm that the students of this college ordered goods from mail-order houses and thereby did not prove loyal to the local trade.

This is true to but a yery small extent. In some cases it may even be excusable.

One reason, perhaps, why some students have patronized mail-order concerns is because their money supply is so limited that they are lured to send away for their goods because of the "low" prices at which these houses offer their goods. But after considering the ordering and shipping expenses these same supplies are often higher in price than if bought at a local store.

As before stated, the sencli11g away for :supplies existed to hut a very small extent among th e sturlents. But it ought not to exist at all.

For <lo the mail-order houses make present.> to our college?_ Do they contribute to our base ball treasury? Do they visit our concerts and programs?

Do they give their "ad." to the "D. 1\T. L. C. l\fossenger ?" Is it not

the local business man who does us all these favors? Then why practically drain him with requests for favors ancl help when he does not even enjoy our patronage? Is there not reason enough why the students should patronize the business men of New Ulm instead of the mailorder concerns? It is to be hoped thnt there will be no reason for complaint in the ensuing year. The application of the Golden Rule would be proper in this case also.

-H. C. N. A new school year has started.

Some of the new students will find the tasks set before them hard and almost impossible to accomplish.

But let them not despair. Diligent w01k will, to a great extent, rn~ke ¡ n p for lack of talent. If one or the other has had little or no schooling in scme branches he can, in part, make up for that also by rliligent \rork.

The little poem printe<l in the li terary clep:1rtment portrays the right spirit in which to start a yeQr of school work. Altl~ough this poem does not exhiliit g reat poetical genius it still contains some goorl nclvice.

EXCHANGES Up to the present date few exchanges have reached us. Th e publication of a college paper can hardly be expected before the activities of college life hflve progressed for some time. Lack of rnaterin I is nsnally the cause of the late appearance of many college journal~.

It woulrl he a wise id ea to consign topics to scvernl stud ents who wonlrl care to work out an essa:v chning the vacation months.

We hope to see all our old exclrnnges aml many new ones at our. tnbl e this year.

The "Comenian" is our 1nost heartily welcomed exchange. Your editorials are always goocl. Y01ir literary clepnrtment is also generally daunch. The arrangement of your joke departm ent 1s novel.

We app1eciate the religious tone which seems to pervade ,v om whole paper.

Call again; you will always he a welcome guest.

"The Lutheran Normal School Mirror" generally presents a neat outward appearance, an<l, as a rule, one is not disappointed on reading the contents. The commeucemen t num her ron taim several good efforts in poetry. The valedictory exhibits a gootlly amonnt of refl.ec-· tion.

Y om "Extracts from a Speech" contains a good defence for the parochial school.

It is. without doubt, true that many people "clo not know, or want to know, that we (in our parochial schools)

are laying a foundation for this life nJHl the li fe to come."

We hope that th e "Mirror" wiJi be a regular caller at our tablu a~ain. this vear.

The literary rlepartment of "Coilcge Rrc ~zes" is scant in quantity, but the editors redeem them selves hy offering quality. "An Epitonw of Unselfishness" is certainly worthy of study. How t rue is not the statement that "egotism is the monster evil of the world." It is true that \re liYe in. an age in which egoti~m, avarice ancl immorality ~.' e i '1 ful I s·,ying.

The need of to<1fl.Y is the 1mselfish man, a man of ,.,·horn tl:e mithor of the above rnentionerl essay says, "The un se lfish man i:=; the bone ancl sinew of the nation; 1rl,en others seek to gratify their own selfiFh ambition, he devotes his life to the welfare of his t'e 11 owrn en."

"The Blnck ancl Re<l," Watertown, Wis., always presents a to1 ial, "Be King of Your Words," staunch editorial column. The ecli'I'he is well ·worthy of perusal. \niter closes with the sentence, "Xow f ' at om· con versation ia fraught \rith serious consequencc·s let us not he babblers, but be rnon: careful of bow i1ncl ll'hat we say nnd win res pect for ourselves an cl good starnling 1rith our fellowmen."'

Know the true value of time ; watch, seize, and enjoy every moment of it. No idleness, no laziness, no procrastination; never put off till tomorrow what yon can do today.

-Lord Chesterfield.

Thero are moments in life, when the heart is so full of emotion, That if by ehanc0 it be shaken, or into its rlepths like a pebble Drops ~ome careless wonl, it overflows, and its secret, Spilt on the ground like water, can rerer be gathorer1 together.

If you wish a thing to be well done, yon must do it yourself, yon must not leave it to others.

book or piece of literature it should be read again with a view t ow at'ds memorizing the most important parts. A book that contains no teachings, no thoughts worthv of bei11g committed to rnemor:v by reading the book again. is not worth reading at all.

Jn reading one often meets a word or a phrase which is eithPr entirely unknown to on e or the meaning of w hi ch cann ot be r ecalled to min d. Th en it should be looked un. One should make nse of those rnPans of gamm g lrn ow lcdgP which are placed at hi s d isnosal. Jn the course of tim e the same word may 1urn up again. Maybe it has already bren forg·otten . Then it should be look ed np for a second time.

"Repetitio est mater studoriim: ." says tbe Roman.

Th e av erage person rr ads too much . One good book. r ead wilh care and study and with pencil and notebook in hand. will be of more vnlue to the reader than ten books read in a hurried and carelPf's W''". John Rusk in says, "If you read ten nages of a good book let1 cr by ldter, that is 1o Ray. with real accuracy, you are fore\•ermore. in some measure. an educated person . '' A good book read in this way will then be of real value to the reader. He will then be able to make its contents an essential part of his life. And as to th e value of "the friends on the shelf" \Villiam Ewart Gladstone says, ''Books are d elightful so ci ety.

Value them much. Encl ea vor to turn thrm to irnod accoun~. a nd pra" r<'nollect this. that the education of 1he minrl is not rrierely a stora{)'r of goods in 1he mind. The

purpose for whi ch a man li,·es j the improv ement of the m an himself, so that he mav go out of this world having. in his great sphere or hi s small on e. don e some liitl good to his fell ow-creatures. rn1rl labored a little to diminish the .. i 11 and 1h<~ sorrow that are in the world.''

Tn reading. as well as in all ;{ other unclertaking-. on e shonld tl ~­ vofo hi s undivid<>d attention to it.

What is worth doin g at all j . worth doin g well. One can n it read everything; it is fool islrn e... to attemp t it. Th erefore on ~ should only r<'ad as much as r-::u1 be read thoroughly. If one .i:e1.1a • more it will never be ben eficial . but it may prove very detri mental.

OBEDIENCE. ThP prime duty of a soldie1' 1o oh('Y 1he orders of his superiors. The reasons for some co.mmand may not be evident to hi m: the order may be entirely contrary to what he de ems best. But h is to raise no quPstion. As lmtg: as he can do so with a cl ear co nscience he is 1o obev: and. without off<'r.ing any objections. he obeys. Th e genrral issuing tlw . co mmand may be erring. 'l'J• . 1, mis1ake ma v be a costly nrnl 11 fatal one· but then it is the general who has to bear the blmne if 1he a!tack or th e campaign is Jo.I·.

The soldier merelv obeys ordc1'S. The student. · sirnil~rly. J'nu.'I lrarn to obey his teachers. Ont' often hears a student I"maJ'k that he will not obey a certain. rnl • beeause he ran · ~ee absolut ely lilt . reason for 1t.

If of the "blame by actmg Mntras :v ;to the rule? The blame and r esp o11sibility rest on the trainer oJ tbe rule. Th e student 's uuty .Like th e soldier's, is to ob ey.

Ou occa ion ally hears the _remark that <I C'er t ain- lesson is too diffii·nl1. 1 b;J i the teacher does not knu-w Jww to assiim lessons. and th~1 i.hPrefor e the lesson will not he .·1.wlic<l But it is for the teaPh er t.o assign the lesson , and not for thr student. The teacher, a::; ~1 l'llle. knows what is best for hi. pupil. . The student should htclv th e lesson to the best of his ability, a nd then. if he finds that it w a. jmpossible fo r him to rnash•r i1. ll should tell the tea cher 11rn t th e assigl'.l ed lesson \Vas too ttiffi1•ult. Th en th e student has 1lnn11 hi. duty. and if th e l esson i. 11ot I a rne.d. the blam e. as in milita l'Y I ifP rests on the teacher.

Tu a similar v'l' ay the members Af 111.e I0w1~ 1· classes should obey thr unnei· r·lass m emb ers . . --When a rul e is enacted hv the collegiates one ~\ftea hears a ''prep.'' remark that fl r-. h onld like to see wheth er th!• coll egiatrs will b e able to llitlke 11)1.D c5hey it.

And, besid es, the members of the preparatory classes. should rememb er that they intend: some day, to' be collcgiates. also;. that th ey will. some day, have. to i1rnist on order. And here the old maxim , that h e who n ever learned to obey will n ever know how to· command, will Y<'rify itself. If a '' p1·ep. '' thinks h r is being: wronged he shonl<l. if it is possible. obey the order, and then make eomplaint to 1he propei· authority_ That stubborn spirit wh ich occasionally shows ih;elf among stud ents ag-ainst tlwir t<~a.chrrs, or among the members of th e student body is but a form of anarchy. F01: what is the motto of the anarchist? Is it not. "I want t o· be ruler mysrlf?" and is it not 1he aim of anarehv to disobey aml to destroy ev<>ry form of government. to do away with highe1· authorities? Besidf's it should be remembered that the obedience 1owards teachf'rR and superiors is: included in the Fourth Commandment, and that, to a certain extent. the same respect is clue to 1eachers and superiors as is due~ to parents or guardians.

THE D. M. L. C. MESSENCER

Your cartoons are interesting.

"Gates Index," (Neligh, Nebr.) is a new exchange. Your literary column has quantity and vari ety.

The attempts at poetry are quite successful. Glad .to find that your exchange coluinn has opened. Let us hear from you again.

"The Comenian," (Bethleh em.

Pa.), has again very good literary articles. Your paper is not in its infancv as ours is. You certainly have learned how to get the laeg·est amount of quality into the spa ~ e your leaflet a llovvs you.

Th e instruction we get through y011r r- rier will surely aid ns. ·we are sorry vou do not 1ake more nride in your ex change department. Surely w e could lenrn from 1he critics and the acknovYlrdgments of one who has traV<.'rsed for so manv years th e path we have now barelv had a glimpse at.

The "Alma Ma!er" has an at1rae1ive cover and. generallv. a well balanced literary cl.Ppartment. Your ''Hit or l\fiss'' dcpartmen t is well sni cecl. The cnts are neat and attra ctive.

The October number of "College Breezes," (St. Pe' er, l\Iinn. ), opens with an attempt at poetry: a "Medita1 ion" on aut~ mnn breezes. Sorry we have no 0

interpreter to translate t.he fiJ,'st two articles.'

The November number CYJ.len with "The Apostle of LibeTty _ La Fayette-which tries to -peu our 0vPs to the patriotic and incere charac !er of La F ayette. that he may be acknowledged sec~ on cl onlv to Washington in tlrn hearts of the American peopl .

But we find onlv one paragraph of the sketch mentioning his Cfl 1·eer in A1n erica. You ·should havti proven it with definite rxample .

"The Vision" is very patheti c- an1l worthy of mention. Your eLlitori11 ls in both numbers arr meager.

VV<• are glad to see you amon g OLll' ex changes.

The October issu e of" Luth Pi'fLll Normal School l\Iirror." (.'ion,Falls, S. D.~ nresents nothi ng li tera ry and the editorial dt-> pa r tment offers mostly mrnmm ·rmrnts. Why not try some 01·igi11al work that would be of interest to 1he students of your i-;cltool 1rnd 1o th eir welfare as wc11 a tn 1he interest of those who l' Rtl your pamphlet? You are wrlr·om e to appear again.

"Tempe Norn~al Stud1!nt,'~ ('Tempe. Arizona). also favo:r 1 with an exchange. Your papee. ns it seems. is not meant to br H Ji erary one. but it offers som~ in1erestinO' news of our Soutlnre. 1.

ADAPTABILITY. "The one who makes a succrss is he ·who knows how to adapt himself to his circumstances, instead of eternally warring with his environment.'' 'l'his is true not only in business and in a profession, but also in the life of every college student. For who are the ones that "make good ?" Ts it those who are eontinnall.r "knocking" and . "kicking?"Not by any means. Th e su cces;;ful student is he who is content with his surroundings. "·ho adapts himself to his eit·cumsta ncrs, and who busi es himself with his stnd1es.

Life in a college cannot be r egulated to suit the wants of the individual student. It is impossi~ ble. In coll ege on e iie e(l not .expect to enjoy the privileges of home. \Vhy thrn shonlcl a student continually be dissatisfied \Yith each and every rrgulation of th e college ? Nobody can clo his work

in a . satisfactory way with 6 011 tilmous 4iscontent and dis$ati<d'.ac tion in his mind.

Does such a student tbink h will have b etter times after gn1clu ating? Let us hope that lie will not be disappointed. .A11 alulll nus, and by no means One ho! iug a poor position, recentl y r marked, '' 'rhere is a bsoln:tttly comparison bt>tween the lite of teacher and the cTcligh tfatl carrfree life of a student. why complain ? \Ve sl11;1l1 • o day. perlrnps. he comptilletl 11djust ourselYrs to i1.w11y t im worse ci1·cn111sta nces.

wmHli11gs fiat will give each lad that shac1e of character that he will bear to the grave.

The rou11try-lad has virgin nature in all her simplicity for his teacher.

She instrnds him in a nmltitude of branches,. making him a veritable perambulating cyclopedia of facts.

For instance, what is there that he r1oes not know about the animals in his locnlity their habits, and characteristics? vVe will not find him asking such a question as a l ity lad once asked !1is. fath:r when l'e saw a. jack-rabbit m his store, "Say, rlar1, where Ju:s the chicken its wings?" Or to give an example from the other sex. A dapper young lady from the city was tripping tlnouo-h a shady country lane one bright May morning, i~haling t~e balmy perfumes with which the air was filled, when an odor with which she was unfamiliar came in contact with her delicate nostrils.

"O thou hale and jolly tiller of the snil ! what is the aonrce of that invigorating cologne which has so completely diffused itself in the balmy atmo?phere?" she asks of a

farmer whom she meets. ".Bless you, my ga l," ej ac ul ated t 1rnt bmly rustic his sid es shaki ng with laughter, "that comes from a

skm1k."

Bnt it is not in mental cleveloprnent a lone that the country-lad excels, but, as wa~ before hinted at, in gooll qualities of chai·acter of which his pen:everanre is one of the most won;lerful. Tile claily labors which he rnu 0>t p:> rform week in an cl wePk out, tea C' h him a persereran re which will bear him triumphantly through all the ea1'r;s ancl adversiti es of life, cares aml achersities which so often eause ambitions youths to despair who · laC'k this marrow whi r h on ly true rn n of nature r an µo ssess.

Closelv hiio g;ecl to his perf'ererance are his kindness to all and pa ssi r e subordination to hi s eld ers : the first bec·oming knit into fl esh ancl bhor1 hi' his Jaily companionship with hi 2 dnmb fri encl s whom his parents have taught him erer to treat kindly; wh il e it is from the parent;;: themselves that th e hitter trait is "a nserl to take root in him , for he is almost constantlv nncler their eye;:. It is his passhe snbordination that characterizes th e country-lac] in la ter life-e1·er rea dy to yiel<l wh en he sees he is wrong, and slow to flVera ge perrnnal in·s ults.

But, on t11e other hancl, it must not be supposed that om· young ru~tie is 11 ll pnssivcness and timiclity, for nature has al so planted in him fearles sness combined with honesty, a fearlessness which does not counteract his other qualities, yet one that will some day serve as an antito,in against the germs of corruption, those ge rms that stand out . as the greatest evil that has infected our land at the present day.

a

anniversary of the famou s Indian Massacre of 1862. The cit,· of X ew Ulm was settled and laid 'ou t by a company of men that came fr om Chicago. 'l'hey had united fo r the purpose of purcha sing a suitable tract of land and to build a town where every German la borer co11 ld have a home. These people were all Germans, and therefore, they called them>el ves the "(.J erman Land Company." The comp any had sent out an agen t to find a suitable place for a town-site. H e soon returned and d eclared that he had found what they looked for.

In 1854 about twentv-nine of thi s company left Chi cago to go to the pl ace which the agent had found and to ta.ke possession of it. They first went to St. P aul and fr om there io Le Sueur. They were anxious to get this place because the site which was ch o8en for the town, 11·as not far from there. As soon as they arrived at L e S ueur, they at once went to the place which 11:as chosen.

When they saw it, not. one was pleased with it and they returned to Le Sueur. From t here they wen t to Traverse. At TraYer se fo ur of the company left to look for a place. They went to different parts of the country, finding a few settlers here and . there, who helped the four w.eary·: seekers in eYery way .. they coul d. Sometimes they were so tired and hungry that they could hardly carry themselves, but still they pushed on till they had found what they greatly wanted. They went back to the rest of the company and informed them of the place. The next morning everybody was anxi ous to get started. After days of hard travel they r eached the place. Nobody objected to the .site. Th_e first thing they did was

to ta ke posPession of 'the place, ancl then they surveyed it so that they roul<l stai t in building houses. 'l'J is was in the year 1855. 'l'he letters had not been t r01 1bled very much by the Indians tmljl now, but they were soon to fi nd out what it meant t o have Inflian;- for t 11ei r neig hb ors.

Method 'l11jlJ secret of getting through

"·ork is rnctho<1. That is why sorne people can do a vast amount o.f work within a comparatiYely-:short time. T11at · is why ,. some· persons ae<:ompli:::h almost nothing, altho1.1g~ they work harcl all day. Our school has been criticised for its curriculmn: Too many Btuclies ,in too short a period of time. It is true, our course is a difficult one, but it offers to a student the opportunity to learn· method. Order, it has bee'n said, is God's first l ~w. , It should also be each student's .. Erilploy . a certain b1et!10d of preparing for your studies; plan out your work daily; do it faithfully. · Do not let ~·om· work accumulate upon your hancls.

A ' good plan is to "Work out; at the Leginning of your study' time, a program of what you intend to t1o during a certain perioJ of time.

Then, if at all possible, completr t!rnt work. Do not lea Ye it unfi nished. It is not work that kills, bnt arrears of work. If mu have time to do a .. p'iece of wo1:k now, do it, and if it is fiye weeks ahearl of time.

Do not wait till the last minntr.

You c1o not know what work yon mny get to do in "the meanti;.ne. \York 1 •ut off is work put on heavy " interest.

How often do we not hear t 11e remark, "I always wanted to do that, bnt 1wver thought of it when I had tirne." · Sn<:h a renmrk shows a lack of method. It shows that stuJent docs, not keep a cl9se account of his duties; in ot!1er won1s he has not vet learned order. "Sufficient unto "the clay is the evil thereof." Then why l{eap the evils, the duties of a number of preceding ' days unto one clay? Arrange your time, be methodical in your work;
