The news from the war front this
morning and today, while not as opti?
mistic aa all of us would have it.
Is not as black and as discouraging
as Pro-tier ma oh and worshipers of
the German efficiency would have the
people believe. The British and
French have not been crushed and de- j
moralised. The front line forces haw
been driven back a distance of eight
to twelve miles, but they have fallen!
back fighting and the losses inflicted'
Upon the thickly massed Herman
troops have been frightful and unpre?
cedented. The british and French
are st.il fighting ohotlnatoly on the

advance has been slowed down If not
entirely checked. The Allies have not
been crushed, they have not been
thrown into a panic, fhe road to Par

and British armies have not been
separated and the unit." of action of
the great army destroyed. The Anglo

Dr. H. N. Snyder, President of
Wofford College, addressed the pupils
of Int Boys' nnd QVhV High School*
this morning, the topic of hi* addre
bOing, "Is a Cultural IMucatioll |
Worth While." Dr. Snyder treated
the subject in terms of the develop- ;
ment ami advancement of the human i
moo from the rude an?i savogs hu-i
man animal of prehistoric times to the
educated, refined ami efllcicnt man ol
tin- twontloth ??? iitury. demonstrating
how ami whv this advancement and
Improvement hnd boon the direct and
( ?rt mi result of the mental and mo-j
ral development of man by the trtim
Inf nnd culture of the intellect. By
training the mind man had been lifted
to higher ideals and endowed with the
power to branch out into new hues oi
thought and endeavor. The mind
made stiong and more eflicient by
cultural training had dominated the
world and had made the purely phy?
sical operations of wresting a living
from nature subservient and second?
ary to the spiritual and intellectuaj
processes, which by the exercise of
trained intelligence utilized human
energy to greater advantage and ac?
complished the great transformation
that separates savagery from civiliza- j
tion. If men had never learned to [
use the mind in the realm of pure j
thought and had not so developed the
mind hg intellectual exercise that it
could reason and speculate the man
of historic times would have differed
little from the primitive human ani?
mal who OXlatOd prior to the stone
SgO. If all tinman enerxy had been
OOnoontratOd upon the effort to do
practical things in a more thorough
and a more remunerative manner the
program of the race would havo been
n t .i ded if not arrested altogether. Dr.
Bnyder made his talk as interesting
