THANKSGIVING ON SATURDAY?

Edward Bok of Philadelphia comes forward with a suggestion that Thanks giving be celebrated on the last Saturday rather than the last Thursday of November. It is doubtful whether any large number of persons could be induced to lay profane hands upon an institution which has been fixed since the days when the Puritan fathers waxed thankful for bounteous crops. But as far so college men are concerned, they would undoubtedly favor a week-end holiday which would allow many of them to eat turkey in their own homes, and save the inevitable anti-climax of the following blue Friday and Saturday.
