and that 83 per cent have a member-
ship of less than 100. To change the
country church to a community house
may result in much temporal benefit
to the communities in which the house
may be located, but what of the
church? The anti-religious could find
no better way to hasten the complete
disruption of the church.
"SAFETY FIRST" BULLETIN
THE RURAL CHURCH
Is the rural church passing? Are
the days of good, old fashioned relig-
ion a thing of the past? So it would
seem from a reading of the roprt of
President Kenyon L. Butterfield of the
Massachusetts Agricultural college to
the Commission on Church and Coun-
try Life. Butterfield declares that the
rural church must become a commun-
ity institution and through its preacher
and lay members promote the causes
of good roads, better farming, agri-
cultural college extension courses,
temperance, public health, community
beautification and planning, promo-
tion of co-operation among farmers
for buying, selling and recreation cen-
ters. Such radical change from a
house where God is supposed to be
worshipped to one where purely secu-
lar matters are discussed is bound to
cause a widespread opposition among
the religious. Many students of re-
ligion claim that the decline of the
country dhurch began when pulpits
were thrown open to politicians—
when the local minister attempted to
dictate political elections—when the
church became a political forum. There
is a sound basis for this claim. Men
go to church to be told of God and
spiritual matters. They want to pray,
to put their house in order, to hesitate
in he mad rush for the necessities and
luxuries of life to think of the future
life. When this is denied them, and,
in its place, a minister delivers a po-
litical talk, urging them to vote for
this candidate or for that cause in the
name of religion, the religious man
rightfully resents the assumed leader-
ship of the preacher and, as a result,
stays at home to commune with his
God. It is a fact that two-thirds of
the rural churches have ceased to grow
The Santa Fe Railway company has
put up a new Safety First bulletin in
tin. passenger station waiting rooms,
round houses, freight depots and
shops, giving information about the
number of people killed and injured in
the United States last year. The bul-
letin says: ,
"You ought to be interested in
knowing that of the 10,302 people kill-
ed on the steam railroads of the Unit-
ed States during last year 5,471, or
53%, were trespassers—p sopu who
were using railroad right of way as
thoroughfare or playground; men
and boys attempting to board trains,
women with or without children walk-
ing on or across tracks; children walk-
ing tracks to and from school, as a
>1 ort-cut to town, picking up coal, etc.,
and not one of them had any business
or right to be where they were when
killed.
"Besides the 5,471 killed, there were
',354 additional trespassers injured, a
total of 11,825 trespassers killed or in-
jured in one year as the price of their
self-assumed right to trespass on
railroad property if they wanted to.
Sixteen trespassers are killed every
day; 1 every 90 minutes. Unless you
heed this this warning, you may be
one of the sixteen tomorrow
"Three children under 14 years of
age are killed every day. Unless par-
ents know that their children keep
away from railroad tracks and yards,
one of them may be included in the life
toll collected tomorrow.
"No trespasser bears a charmed life.
Trespassers cannot continue to take
chances with any certainty that they
.•ill indefinitely escape paying the
price of their foolhardiness. Not only
do not trespass yourself, but urge oth-
ers not to do so.
"During the last twenty-four years
i 108,009 persons were killed and 117,-
257 injured walking on railroad tracks
and (flipping) cars in the United
; States. More than one-half the entire
! number of people killed on American
railroads are trespassers. The A. B.
IC. of Safety First is Always Be Care-
ful."

MORE JOBS THAN CHEMISTS
Scarcity of Engineers Shown at Co-
lumbia University Since Out-
break of War
New York.—Since the outbreak ol
the war and the resulting increase in
chemical projects in this country the
j demand for chemical engineers has
1 grown so rapidly that the companies
are finding it difficult to fill the many
places that are now open.
Indication of this was given at Co-
lumbia university when Dean Fred-
[ erick A. Goetze of the graduate en-
gineering school reported that he had
received a call from a mining com-
pany for several chemical engineers
familiar with the iron and steel in-
dustry, but that he has been unable
to find any of the recent graduates
who were not already well placed.

IS LONELIEST OF PUPILS
Missouri Youth Has School and Teach-
er All to Himself—Sports
Are Eschewed.
Chllllcothe, Mo.—Livingstone county
has the smallest possible school in
the world it has just one pupil. But,
despite the small enrollment, it keeps
grinding steadily away, confining its
activities principally to the text books
and eschewing football and other
forms of athletics.
The school in question is in district
No. 2 in Medicine township and Miss
Mary Phillips is the teacher. The list
of matriculants has not been pub-
lished. When the term began five
weeks ago. it was anticipated that a
number of children would enroll, but
only this one boy came, so the teacher
started in with the course.
CHILD SMOTHERS IN COTTON
Little Oklahoma Girl Digs Hole in Pile
and Then Accidentally
Tumbles In.
I Guthrie, Okla.—The nine-year-old
] laughter of Paul Richey, a farmer liv-
ing near Prague, thirty miles east of
I liere, was "drowned" in a pile of cotton
I in her father's field.
When the little girl was missed, her
parents started out to search for her.
' Her father finally saw her shoes on
| lop of the huge mound of cotton, and
closer examination disclosed her body
buried, head first, in the fiuffy mass.
■ She evidently had dug a hole in the
pile and then accidentally fallen into
It, the loose cotton packing about her
and smothering her.
Mr. Wedell, General Secretary of
the Y. M. C. A. at the University ol
Kansas was in Norman yesterday to
address the Raymond Robins Cam-
paign Committee. He spoke to the
Y. M. C. A. cabinet at 3:30 and at 5j
to the campaign committee. The rest j
of his time here he spent in confer-
ences with the chairman of the vari-
ous sub-committees. |
The plans for the visit of Mr. Rob-J
ins are most elaborate. He will come |
to a University only after very thor-
ough preparation has been mado..
From now until January eleventh the
entire committee force of the Y. M.'
C. A. will be working to the limit to
omplete the necessary preparations.
The results of similar campaigns in
I other schools have been marvelous.
Arthur Capper, Governor of Kansas
writes as follows:
"It has been my pleasure to know
Raymond Robins for several years. I
first met him when he was in Topeka
during the campaign of the Men and
Religion Forward Movement. I form-
i ed the highest opinion then of his abil-
ity and his consecration. I have heard
him speak to men on several occas-
ions. He has a wonderful message for
men. I know that he appeals very
strongly to college and University
'tudents; certainly no one presents
i the social message of Christianity!
j more ably and convincingly. I say j
without hesitation that no college man
should miss the opportunity of hear-
j ing Mr. Robins."
