Tlio Snturdny Evening Post In tin nrtlolo headed "Earning nn Ediicntion" has mado a thorough oxnminntton of tho cost of attending the leading uni versities and colleges of tho country. Tho following questions were- sent to the presidents of tho various schools: 1. In your opinion, taking all things Into consideration, is tho student pay ing his own way prevented thereby from accomplishing tho best results? '2. Is tho unlimited supply of money HUoly to be a handicap to the nverngo collogo student? H. Of two students having equal abll it. os, which has tho bettor chance for college success, tho one with much or the one with little money? To tho first question many replied emphatically in the negative, while others believed the student paying his onn way is likely to bo hindered from accomplishing tho best results unless he bo of unusual energy and mental and physical power. There was practical unanimity on tho second quest. on, over ninety-eight per cent of those sending replies be lieving emphatically that an unlimited amount of money was a handicap to the averago college student. Many be lieved it was worse than a handicap. Along the same lino as tho opinion of the second question, tho largo major ity boliovo that of two students of equal ability, tho one having much money Is likoly to be less successful than the one having loss. Tho concensus of opinion is that the student depending entirely upon him self requires so much energy for out side work as not to accompl.sh the best results. Tho one having just a com fortable allowance is the one who has chances most in his favor. The re spondent from the University of Mich igan is of the opinion that "above ?G00 a year is likely to be disadvantageous."

Porhaps tho highest compliment over paid to tho writings of William Reed Dunroy, tlio Nebraska poet, was that paid unconse'.ously by a servant girl in Omaha. This girl worked in a family where tho lady of tho house spent tho greater portion of the summer at the exposition. During the day the girl was left alone pretty much all of tho time and was allowed to amuso herself as sho thought best. Ono day tiie woman came home oarllor than sho expected and sho found I tho servant girl at her desk in tho li brary, writing as fast as sho could. She did not hear her mistress outer, so busily engrossed was she in her work, and sho started suddenly as tho lady spoke and tried to hido tho tablet on which sho had been writing. Tho lady stopped forward and saw that tho girl had a copy of "Corn Tassels" before her on tho desk, and an examination of the girl's tablet showed that sho had copied nearly every poem In tho book. Tho Indy In speaking of the occurrence afterwards said that she was deeply Im pressed with what sho had scon. Thoro the girl, who could write only with ex treme difficulty, had spent hours In copying the poems from tho book, and sho said sho would gladly have given tho girl a copy of tho book if another one could have been obtained. THE OLD SITES OF YALE. Until recently almost no attention has been paid to the historic sites which mark tho early days of Yale uni versity. As li1" was founded in old Saybrook and later removed to Bran ford, both these towns have a place In Yale tradition. A meeting was re cently held In the Acton library of Old Saybrook to make plans for erecting a suitable momorlal on the site of tho building where tho "Yalo Collegiate School" was established under tho Con necticut charter, granted In 1701. Th!s building was given by Nathaniel Lynde of Saybrook for tho use of the collego In 1702, and was the home of Yale college for fifteen years. Professor Hart of Trinity college and Dr. A. S. Cheeseborough of Say brook have been at tho head of the movement to erect a memorial. Pro fessor Hart presided at the meeting and was appointed chairman of a com mittee to take charge of raising the necessary funds. Tho present plan Is to have tho dedication held at tho Yalo bl-centennial In 1901. NOT EQUAL TO THE EMERGENCY. Now Cockatoo "Does the girl wo live with seem clever?" Parrot "No; I've been here a year and she hasn't got mo to stop swearing yet." A BACHELOR'S ROMANCE. "I came pretty near getting engaged once." "Why didn't you?"

"That's so; tho man next door is so busy now that he comes home at night too tired to practice on his cornet." ANOTHER GREAT REFORM. "What reform aro you interested in now?" "I am advocating that people be paid double for the Work they do when ti;ey don't feel like working." AHEAD OF HIS RIVALS. "Dewey is brainy, I tell you." "Of course But why do you say so?" "Why, ho got in his celebration be fore the foot ball season opened." &z . w, "-gn I THE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OE MUSIC Vl U 0 l l i is opposite the Campus.
