Modern Knighthood (B3) Miss Louise Vallandigham) Modern knighthood! We wonder it there is such a thing. Knighthood i is the character or dignity of being a knight. In feudal times a knight was a man armored and bearing arms, who was devoted to the maintenance of virtue and to the protection of all in distress. The aim of early knighthood was to make an ideal world. and those who had sworn to lead a blameless life were looked upon as an image of Christ.

But the knights of olden times weakened chivalry or knighthood through their love of adventure and as a result they neglected the duties near at hand for those in dis. tant lands. In the thirteenth century the kings of England and France made crusades into the Holy Land attempting to rescue the sacred sepulchre from the Mohammedans. During the last one, many of the crusaders were killed while men, women and children were led into the -stricken East to their death. But ancient chivalry with its pomp and glory and love of adventure is a thing of the past.

Today we have a modern knighthood whose spirit is truly fulfilled by caring for the weak and the oppressed. In this, the age of progress, we have made rapid advancement in seience and industry, and many humanitarian ideas have been widely accepted. With these alone, we have been content to believe that we know perfect civilization. Above all this. however, can be heard the -ending ery of God's poor.

But the sufferings of these poor are not due entirely to their own faults and mis. fortunes, as so many think, but to the errors and selfishness of their more fortunate fellowmen. Since men are prone to do things in the easiest manner, they think they had better let these conditions alone -allowing Nature to work acording to her will. As man elevates, these method has failed in all history and the sense of wrong which the poor felt, has resulted in revolution. France paid no heed to the ery of her suffering children until anarchy arose against her.

America is now standing in the shoes once worn by France. In the United States, a million or more children--boys and girls far from the edge of maturity--are slaves in the factories. The majority of the workers in the cotton mills are aged from six to sixteen years. Their working hours are from six in the morning to six in the evening. while the night shifts work from six in the evening until six in the morning.

The canneries also employ a great number of children whose ages do not exceed fourteen years. Their wages are but a few cents an hour. Then there is the industry in shrimp picking and oyster shucking. The wages are two cents a pot. The employes are as young as four years.

These industres are but a few of those employing child labor. And this occurs in the land of freedom, justice and fraternity! Between us and destruction is the spirit of chivalry-helping the oppressed. However, modern knighthood must have no pomp an show. The manufacturer of the National cash register, learning that his women employes were working among healthful and eye-trying surroundings, with unnutritious food to sustain their bodies, built a new factory with perfect light, ventilation, sanitary conditions, rest rooms and large dining halls where lunch could be obtained for less than those prepared at home. The grounds surrounding were made beautiful by expert landscape gardners.

They also allowed the women to quit one hour earlier than the men, thus preventing their going home on crowded street cars. All this was done to help the poor and, at the end of the year, the returns showed that the healthful conditions more than paid, financially. Then there was the New York heiress who, during the shirt waist strike several years ago, left Vassar College to aid the girls. During the trials she paid fines for, and salaries to. the strikers, amounting to $90,000.

She also entered the factories as an employe so as to learn more of the girls' hardships. Practicing the strictest economy, she found each week that. at Saturday night she did not have enough to buy her supper. She was convinced that the wages were not sufficient for a simple livlihood. Later, with her Vassar education, she labored among the children of the slums as a diligent instructor until her death, which resulted from an accident.

This is modern knighthood which is the ideal of Christian teaching. It must also be the ideal of educationyoung people must be taught absolute obedience to moral laws. They must also be taught their duty to the world along with its debt to them. In short. the kind of education that is needed is that of unselfishness.

Then the solution of this problem of the poor in distress and children deprived of their rights to a free, unhampered childhood, will not have to be made by the sword. John Ruskin says, "We must turn the courage of youth from the toil of war to the toil of merey; their intellect from the dispute of wordto the discernment of things: and their knighthood front the errantry of adventure to the state and fidelity of a kindly power." When this is done we need have no tear for America's future, (Continued from page one) hand profit $666.46. This I addition to a saving of fifty percent of the cost of oil. R. C.

Ely read the course offered by the agricultural college which is as follows: Five short courses will 1 be given to the farmers and ranchers of New Mexico this winter by the State College of Agriculture and Mechanie Arts. It has been decided to adopt the Colorado plan in offerng these courses, so far as the number of n- structors in the institution permits, which is to give a five-day course along lines of special local interest and value, in such counties as pledge an enrollment of one hundred at the nominal fee of two dollars each for the whole course. With its prescent appropriations the institution cannot spare its instructors for more than five weeks during the college year and it has therefore been found neeessary to limit the number of these county courses to five for this year: and in order to determine which counties shall get the course it has been decided 1 to offer it to the five counties in the state pledging the largest enrollment under the above terms. with a minimum of one hundred. The decision as to which counties shall be selected will be made on January 1.

1914, and the courses will be given during January and February. The large enrollment for a course of this kind which is now being giv-! en in the Mesilla Valley has led the college to adopt this plan for these courses, and it is expected that with the hearty cooperation of the farmers and ranchmen of the state they will be of great value to the agricultural interests. The president of the college, Dr. George E. Ladd, urges the farmers, ranchmen and others in every county of New Mexico to hold meetings and make efforts to get one of the five-day short courses for their county.

The program for these courses will be similar to the following but changes may be made to suit the special needs and interests of each county. Course A FOR MEN AND BOYS First Day 10:00 a. m. Some Benefits of Farmers' Institutes. 11:00 a.
