Monson 't\?££.Jr}: yg Due to the limited amount of space in the last issue of The Con-cordian Professor -Monson's travel letter of June 25. 1930, was con-tinued to this issue. In the part that has gone before the Professor told of a vicious garbage can which was coming straight at him while he was playing anchor for the tent. The weather was in the height of fury as the Professor stood there debating, "I hated to stay and tangle with that garbage can, and I hated the thought of having that pesky can go right through our tent and mess things up." Now go on with the letter and discover how the problem was solved. However, I was spared the effort of making the momentous decision. A split second before I figured I was going to be nix, the can "hit some-thing. What it was I shall never know, for I was too busy to look and I'm never going back. It hit some-thing, anyway, in such a manner as to turn it out of its deadly course and send it careening by our door-way with a clang and a clatter that made me very glad indeed that I was not hurtling along with it. 1 have often dodged collectors, but this is the first collector that has dodged me. The boys in the main tents were having their worries too. Number one was on fairly high ground with good trenches all around it, but number two fared not so well. In the first place it stood below the other tent and got all the water that number one was sending down its way. In the second place the trench-es were inadequate or non-existant so that the water had no place to go but through the door. This it proceeded to do with promptness and dispatch. The boys tried to stem the flood with dirt dams that broke down at once* Then they had to resort to poshing it out with their hands. They might as well have imitated the king who sat at the seashore and commanded the tide to stay back. The water just kept on coming. Everybody wanted rags for mopping and there, were no rags. And then there was the task of holding the tent down. Joe Birkeland, head driv-er and first tuba, was wrestling with the pole in the center with one man hanging to each leg, obviously to save Joe in case Joe failed to save, the tent, while the two end poles presented similar pictures. With everybody giving orders and nobody obeying, the place was a bedlam, and I don't mean kanhende. The Btorm lasted for about 20 min-utes, and I saw more action in those 20 minutes than I ever expect to see again in an hour. But we were lucky.

Hav-ing no cots, we had to have a dry floor to sleep on, so the local people offered us the use of the floor in the pavilion where the concert was to have been held. There was no con-cert, naturally- Everybody in yards and streets were too busy to bother with mere cultural aspects1 of life that night. This morning we managed to pick ourselves together after, a fashion and came here to dry out. Every-thing is now hunkyi-dory and we are all set for the last concert in South Dakota, the last one here at Philip. We had a long drive to get here, and after the meal served us by the local ladies' aid, the boys have decided to rename the town fill-up. • Which goes with. ' Youra truly, Manager.

Crawford Speaks In Chapel December 14 On Books, Education Lewis Crawford of Fargo spoke on "Books and Education" at chapel exercises December 4.

"We are not a reading nation," Mr. Crawford stated, "and haven't enough book lovers to support worthwhile authors." "North Dakota has about 1000* col-lege graduates yearly, yet 50 book-stores can scarcely survive. "College," ho continued, "gives a glossr of cul-ture, but education is a continued pro-cess not to be gotten in youth and forgotten in maturity. "Americans have been too busy making- mone? to become students and scholars, for they are not suffer-ing from a lack of schooling but from an arrested development. It isn't that they can't afford books but that tho desire is either feeble or wholly lacking*' "The wisdom of the ages is ready to speak to all who will listen; but how few are ready to hear, not real-izing that the virtue that comes from reading good books is revealed in what one docs. It is bookar not crowns that make kings."
