Spring is here again and opens new avenues of thought. The different agen< cies thru which it manifests itself are so many forces drawing the mind away from its penned-up existence out into the freedom and freshness of nature. As the» balmy breezes and gentle showers sweep across the landscape and call forth life in all its various forms, they also seem to in- vite us mortals to step forth from our small inclosures to witness the wonderful works of God. And who can refrain his thoughts from being lifted up on the wings of the breezes and carried along over the hills and valleys. tinctured with green. and into the woods to enjoy the majesty of the endless corridors under the forming leafage? It would almost seem a self—inflicted cruelty to shut out the invigorating influ- ence of Spring by closing our window blinds and trying to goad our thought. on- ward along the beaten paths of books. Surely we shall enjoy these the much better and profit the more by such pursuits if we also lead our mind forth into the avenues Nature invites us to. \Vhen we admit the impressions and suggestions pres- ented to us at first hand by the outside world we shall be able to utilize better the ideas given us through other sources. \Vith this issue of the “Echo” the pres— ent editors finish their labors for the paper. As we take leave we freely acknowledge that the work has been de- ficient in many respects. Our efforts have been directed towards realizing the purpose of a college paper but we admit that much has been left undone. ' However we are grateful to the student body and the alumni for the support they have so willingly given and the considera- tion they have shown us in the work.

A patriot‘-is a man who loves his coun- try and zealously supports and upholds its institutions and interests: 3 man who sacri- fices his own personal comfort for the wel- fare of his native land: a man who guards and defends the liberties of the people: a man who will forget personal fame and glory and give himself to his country,- that it may prosper. He may die in the course of his duty but "he will live in the hearts of his countrymen." He may suffer and he may be persecuted but sometime his actions will be appreciated at their full worth. However. not always does a patriot have to'wait long for public recognition of his services. Somtimes he is respected. hon— ored and loved during his life-time. Such a fortunate patriot was \Villiam Ewart Gladstone. His friends loved him: his enemies feard him : his queen esteemed him. and his nation was grateful to him. the great commoner. His opinions were eager- ly sought for: his advice was gladly .fol— lowed: his judgment was always excellent. and he was famed for his truth and hon- esty. Gladstone? Here was the true English gentleman: the learned scholar: the brave and heroic soldier: the enthusiastic politi— cian: the kind and loving friend and neigh- bor: the powerful and world—famed orator and the God—fearing churchman. Mr. Gladstone was all of this. He loved his friends: he loved his enemies: he loved his queen and country but above all .he loved his God. and to the services of these did he dedicatgliis life. With omitting-patience he fought for the English people- in J’arliament. he work- ed for them as Prime Minister and he con- ducted their money affairs as Chancellor of the Exchequer. Many were the laws ~ that were enacted. the measures that were adopted and the national policies that were framed and executed either by his direct advocacy or by his permission. With his great sympathy for the people. the common people. Mr. Gladstone made many wise laws that were good and benefi- cial. He extended the suffrage, so that all common people of England were represented in elections. He caused many more public schools to be erected thru- out his cotmtry.‘ He gave the Irish peo- ple a much larger and more efficient police force and had their military forces increased. His bill for more Irish representation in Parliament was He reformed the universities of Ireland. lly changing their educational system, he put the schools on a solid basis and made them what they are today. in his 30th year. he made that magnificent fight for the free- dom of Ireland. It will never be forgotten. Altho four score years of age he tow- ered above all his colleagues in ability and power. But this is only a small part of his great work in the House of Commons. For half a century his orations in Parlia- ment wgre the wonder of all England. As Chancellor of the Exchequer. .\lr. Gladstone cleared a debt of fifteen million pounds. There has been no finance-min- ister who has shown such remarkable abil— ity. power and economy as he. But he did not limit his work to the lit— tle sphere of England only. \Vherevcr there was suffering: wherever people need- ed help; wherever sympathy was needed, there. if possible. went \Villiam Glad/stone passed.

In 'eighteen- fifty. while on a much needed vacation in Italy. he was horrified and shocked at the revolting state of af- fairs in Naples. Engaged in civil strife. Italy had apparently forgotten all forms of civilization. Thousands of innocent people were cast into prison: members of the Chamber of Deputies were in exile or arrest. but worse than all was the horrible and abominable condition of the prisons. which were masses of filth and corruption. \Vords cannot describe the monstrous and barbaric .way in which the prisoners were treated. Starving and naked. death was a welcome release to them from it all. After carefully examining the conditions. Gladstone electri- fied the world with his plea for humanity. He spoke of it. wrote about it and as a result the greater nations stepped in. brought-the curse to an end and helped to reunite Italy. Truly his vacation was not spent in vain. Now altho \Villiam (iladstone's name was made famous by his betterment of old laws and making of new ones. still it is as a peacemaker that the grand old man of England will go down into history. Safe— ly. did he guide the ship of state thru four great political crises which threatened to bring calamity to his Fatherland. During the terrible and disastrous war between France and Germany. which ended in the siege of Paris. England under Gladstone's lead kept a complete neutrality and was not in the slightest way involved. In President Grant's administration. the important treaty of \Nashington was negotiated between the United States and England. During the Civil \Nar. she had allowed the conctruc- tion and fitting out of several Confederate cruisers in British ports This aroused the wrath of Uncle Sam and he demanded settlement. Thru the work of \Villiam Gladstone. a settlement was effected. fif- teen million. five hundred thousand dol— lars being paid our government.” As the twentieth century dawned, Eng— land was engaged in a terrible war with South Africa. Thousands of brave soldiers sacrificed their lives on those far away bate tlegrounds. hundreds of homes were made desolate. the honor of a nation was im— perilled and the whole world.was plunged into mourning.’ All this happened two years after the death of \Villiam Gladstone, and all this is what twice during his life time he averted. Twice was England threatened with war with the Boers and both times. with his great diplomacy. did Gladstone effect a treaty with them. ' Now it is seen. that as a statesman and a public worker. he was great. But it is as a man that he was greatest. It is in private. with his friends. that his igniting per— sonality is brought forth best. Always sympathetic. always loving, he could not but be loved by all with whom he came in contact. There was an Old man who used to sweep the street-crossings near the Houses of l’ar— liament. One day he was absent and a missionary. inquiring after him. found him ill in a little attic chamber furnished with only a cot and stool. "You are 1011er here", the missionary said. “has anyone called on you?" "0. yes." replied the sick man. “several persons have called—Air. Gladstone for one. He called and read to me." “Mr. Gladstone called? And what did he read?" “He sat on that stool there and read the Bible to me." At that time Gladstone was at the very height of his suc— cess and glory. a companion of kings. but still here he had been in the bare little attic room, reading the Bible to the poor old man. But that was the real Gladstone; there was the secret to his success. \Vhat he was to his neighbors was clear— ly shown when he lay on his death—bed in London. An old woman came to the me— tropolis on a holiday. \\'lien she heard that Gladstone's condition was very critical. she insisted on going home. "I wanted to be Show less

Announcements have been sent out concern ing the annual business meeting of the Augs— burg Alumni Association to be held in the forenoon of May 8. . The commencement festivals and the alumni meetings ought to bring more people together than they have formerly. The large number of graduates from our school ought to visit their old home at least once every year. It would afford them a pleasant rest from the duties of life. Reminiscences would be retold and old memories lived over again. Besides, the love of their Alma Mater would be revived and as members of the association, we have pledged ourselves "to promote in every proper way the interests of Augsburg Seminary. We need to be reminded of the debt of gratitude and love we owe to the school that nurtured us that we also might consider it a high duty— nay. a privilege—to help in building up the school and making it as much of a home, and if possible a better one. for those who now oc- cupy our places as it was for us. This does not mean that Augsburg needs any booming. It has never employed the blowing of trumpets and coaxing advertisements to win a. standing. Its reputation rests on its history. But we do mean that as nobody ought to know better what Allah-Item“: for than those who have beenheremonobodymttobeuorem inpromotingitswelfinthnnthonhnnni.

THE EVIL OF CHILD LAIOI. A nation is composed of individuals. With the character at the individual degraded, the nation is imperiled. The great questions of to- day are those which concern the morality of the people. One of the grave conditions which confronts our Republic at the present time, a problem which has vexed the lovers of human ity for a number of years and the solution of which will greatly exalt the criterion of Ameri- can citizenship, is the subjection of the evil preventing the physical and moral development of young children. Our country has developed into one of the foremost nations of the world; thru our ports is shipped food for the millions of Europe. But in our factories, mines and sweat shops are huddled 700.000 uneducated and immature children. The foreign oppressor ha long ere this been vanquished, the fetters stricken from the black man at home, but the white young slave is still sending up cries of distress mark- ed by distinct note of feebieness. Political freedom we have won, but the problem of how to protect the generation which is to guide the “ship of state” thru the future tempests of time still remains unsolved. It appears almost incredible that the attitude of society towards the child should ever have ‘ been otherwise than tender and considerate. It is almost past belief that in a country where civilization is so far advanced as ours, so proud of its humanity, so hospitable towards good cause, ever should have been negligent in rendering a protecting hand to the future citizen of this Republic. Yet to our great amazement we find that there exist cruel and inhuman practices with regard to children. The beasts are attached to their offspring. The lioness defends her cubs; but it seems that the most advanced of nature's offspring. man. he .,,<.u. Show less

Show morea massacre anko . American institutions. This is a fact as terri- fying as it is terrible. In the South there are six times as many children at work today as there were twenty years ago and each year more are brought in from the fields and hills to live in the degrading atmosphere of the mill towns. ln'other words, the young tellers Iran the age of six years and up to fourteen, who work in factories, mines, and other gainful 0e cupations comprise one sixth of the entire pop- ulation of these United States. This is affect- ing the future of our country, for these workers will not be taught to read and write while they will presently be having the right to vote. The question we have to face is how to save two million future American citizens from physical. mental and moral stultification. Is this host of young Americans not worth saving? Can we as a nation afford to see the best our Republic possesses not properly de~ fended? No! The annals of history are filled with warnings and predictions of historians and philosophers who tell of the deplorable destiny of nations that have failed to protect their growing generations. Great Britain stands as a light-house amidst the rocks of the on-coming storm warning the nations not to come near. She once faced precisely the same conditions as we are facing at the present time. The world was not aware of it. England her- self did not know it until she had to face 28,000 Boer farmers in South Africa. The stories are yet fresh in our minds of how the feeble Eng- lish soldiers were swept off like flies by enteric fever, It was the poorest army that a mighty nation ever sent to the battlefield. 0f the men recruited an average of between 30 and 40 per cent were rejected for physical inferiority. England was face to face with the fact that she had become the mistress of the seas of commerce. the money center of the world and ranked foremost among the nations, yet she found herself hard put to it to meet 28.000 Boer farmers on the field of battle. She cannot to- day meet a first class power on land. This is the price she paid to become the “commercial mistress of the seas." Gone is that splendid race which overwhelmed and bowed to the dust the greatest generals of the world. Gone is that splendid stock which produced a Shakes— peare. and a Milton. and a Gladstone; that pro- duced the greatest statesman of the past. There is not today a single English soldier. statesman or writer that can come up to the arms of the great Englishmen of yesterday. ’l‘helgflshpooplepaldtooeoctlyaprlcowhon shegavoherehfldrsntomahthelnglhhmlfl- ownenthogrmutcofltaminthewofld.

In this progressive axe and in this glorious country. there are. if the truth is fully told. at least two millionchiMren who are bending their backs to the tukmalter. And why this state of conditions? Have we not enough laborers? If so, we had better supply the thousands of idle workers with something to do. No! Not so. But because the parents are poor, the money which should be used to build up the home is given to the protubernnt trai- tor of legitimate and lawful business. he. that stands behind the saloon bar. and because the captains of industry find it more profitable to coin the gold from the blood of children than to employ matured labor. The natives of darkest Africa and inaccess- ible Australia do not inflict upon their children the burdens of premature labor. Here in thls land with our vaunted civilization we condemn children to destruction by bending them over the coal-breakers, breathing black coal dust. huddling them in glass factories, breathing dust of glass, herding them in tobacco factor- ies, inhaling the deadly nicotine, when they ought to be running about in the exuberant spirits of youth. or at school developing their minds. Are we as civilized as we fancy? Or is it because our moral indignation has not yet been aroused that we tolerate this labor? Democracy. government “by the people, of the people. and for the people" we shudder and tremble as we view that idiotic anarchistic and degraded host of future Ame-rt can citizens who have become antisocial in their instincts and fairly launched on a career of crime because they have been deprived of sunshine in their youth.

In the month of March three occasions took plans at our institution which may properly be termed annual events altho they are not established as such by any rules. The Idun Library Association and the Augsburg Band each gave a concert, and the third event was the Free Church Book Concern Oratorical Con- test. The annual concert of the Idun Library As- sociation was held on the evening of St. Pat~ rick‘s Day, March 17th. It was a success both as to the program and as to attendance. The main feature of the program was an address by Ex-Mayor James-Gray. We have all been de- lighted to partake of the fresh and savory “Salad Course" of the “Journal's” Editorial De- partment and now in having the pleasure of seeing and hearing the despenser of this popu- lar dish. we felt at once that we had an old friend among us. His address proved that in speeclrmaking he is the same interesting and witty man as when he modestly signs his J. G. to an article in the "Journal". Quoting from Luke 10, the story of Jesus in the home of Martha and Mary. he took these two sisters as types of two classes of people in the world. He stated that the American - people is a restless and uneasy people who “the trouble about many things" and hence mhle Martha. Some years ago the nation was in throes about the money question. Then the complaint was that we had too much mon~ Cy. Lately we were on the verge of a crisis because there was too little money. Recently therewastrolfluelnsoertsinsectioasbout whether the people should govern the constitu- tion or the constitution, the people. Then there are troubles about the honesty of our government while the fact is that the gov— ernment is honest to the same degree as we ourselves are honest. Much mirth was evoked at the expem of the people who are so ex- ceedingly worried about their health. their an- cestors and the like. Again some take great troubles about getting the best bargains—even bargains in religion. The speaker advocated a harmonious lite devoid of unnecessary cares and improper anxieties. In closing he paid a beautiful tribute to seminaries and other higher institutions of learning characterizing them as rest stations along the busy highway of life “where music takes the place of the clatter of cars, where libraries are made to rise in place of ware houses and where competition of ideas occurs instead of competition of merchandise. Prof. Pettersen spoke in support of a resolu- tion adopted by prominent Norwegians at a meeting in Chicago defining the donations which countrymen in America ought to present to mother Norway at her centennial celebra- tion in 1914. The speaker had been present at the. Chicago meeting and the plan suggested by him had been adopted and framed into the be fore named resolution, This plan advocated the erection of a building in Christianis for the use of “Normannaforbundet” and the gathering of a fund for the suppression of Tuberculosis in Norway. Miss Hulda Strand at the piano and Mr. Philip Foldoe on the clarinet together with the Glee Club held down the musical part of the program with good credit to each of them. The Glee Club has added some excellent pieces to their repertoire lately'and their singing at this occasion was exceptionally good. 0n the evening of March 25th the Augsburg Band gava a concert. The program rendered at that occasion consisted exclusively of mu- sic. Those who assisted on the program were Miss Ragna Sverdrup and Miss Pauline Vetle son, who favored us with a piano duet, playing a selection from Mozart; the Augsburg Glee Club, and Mr. D. J. Hawley oi the Morgan G. A._ R. Drum Corps. Hr. Hawiey was a drummer in the Civil War where he gsvé the signals to the “Boys in Blue" and he still delights in play- ing the call to arms and other calls which be- came so familiar to him in those days.

As a whole the concert was a success; all who took part in program performed their parts well, and there was also a good attend- ance. The Band has had its difficulties to con— tend with but nevertheless, under the skillful leadership of Professor Urseth, it has made splendid progress, and the concert this year was one of the best ever given. on Monday evening, March 30th the annual Free Church Book Concern Oratorical Contest was held in our chapel. 'This is the fourth year the Book Concern has given the prizes for such a contest and we do not believe that there are any reasons for the Book Concern to regret having done so as there have been great improvements each year. All the students in the college and prepara- tory departments are eligible to these contests and the five best orations will be delivered in the final race for the prizes. Those who competed for the honors this year were: E, G. Larson, who won first prize. $10, on his oration, “The Evil of Child Labor"; Victor B. Rossing who captured second prize, $7, on his oration, “Man of the World”; K. G. Nelson who was awarded third prize. $5, on his oration. “Blessings of Immigration"; Jos- eph Haug, who spoke on “True Character“, and Henry Quanbeck whose subject was “A True Education.” The judges on thought and com- position were Lars Lillehei, Thorwaid Nelson and Prof. Frank Nelson; those on delivery were Rev. Paul, Rev. Seashore and Rev. Holter. The musical part of the program consisted of a number of songs by the choir from St. Olaf Congregation, Vocal Solo by Miss Millie Rye and Vocal Solo by H. Oscar Hanson. BASKETBALL. Basketball is played at our school mostly for the purpose of creating interest in gymnasium work; and it is a medium of good exercise. As a result the attendance in the gymnasium has been better this year than before. Very few basketball games have been played with outside teams up to this time. This year it was decided to make a trial and play a num- ber of games with other colleges. Our inten- tions were not to make sure of victory, but rather to use the game as a means of friendly —..___-————-——-'~ association Therefore we endeavored to tale victorysnddefsstuswellbalancedmnnd notgotoextrsnesinsnywsywhatsoeverhw pened. And what is the use of making capital of victory or' defeat? We‘ haven‘t put much stress on that. The team has pisde six games. Won four and lost two. ' The first game played was with Y. M. C. A. on Angsburg’s floor Dec. 7. ’01. The heavy vis- iting team thought they had it their own way when they saw Angsburg's small forwards. but the score shows 44—29 in favor of Augsburg. The second game was played on St. Olaf. floor. Jan. 18, ’08. Augsburg scored the first three baskets. St. Olaf had the advantage in their own gymnasium. The basketball court extended to the wall on one side. The wall was battered to good effect for the home team, while it puzzled the visitors. St. Olaf 37. Augsburg 22. The team was well satisfied with the trip to Northfield. Hemline Cadets played here Feb. 13th. They were sure in basket shooting, but lacked in- team work. Augsburg 60, Hamline 10. Augsburg met defeat at the hands of Y. M. C. A. on their floor Jan 30th. Very few visit- ing teams can win a game on their floor be- cause it is very long and narrow. They were determined on victory and they got it altho they had to work hard. 34—23 in favor of Y. M. C. A. Gustavus Adonphus appeared Feb. 28. They played a good and clean game from start to finish. However. they were defeated 55—49. We didn‘t succeed in getting a return game with them on their floor. The last game played was a return game with St. Olaf, March 3 in our gymnasium. St. Olaf had an hour’s practise before the game- started and got somewhat acquainted with the: floor. The floor is a little slippery as mostly all other gymnasium floors in Minneapolis are, but that didn't seem to handicap the visitors very much. Our team had the advantage here as the other team formerly had on their own floor. Augsburg worked hard and speedy the first half and made baskets in fast succession. By the score of 32—9 Augsburg could take things easier the second half without much danger of loosing. St. Olaf played a strong game and they were accurate in shooting baskets. Many fouls were made on both sides. St. Olaf‘s coach Mr. Noakes acted as referee and C. Myhre of our school acted as umpire. Augsburg 44. St. Olaf 32. T. R. Show less
