J 1gnaton Is rampant among the mem-
ber9 of the frlt year clAs at the High school
on acc unt of the strict discipline that I 1
being maintained over them. This Indigna-
tion threatens to take shape In a formal IJrO-
test.
Member of the class complain that they
tro herded around In the building Iko sheep
and are treated more like prisoner under le
.entencc than like students In an Institution
If learning . When members of the class ap-
pear at the building In the morning , no mat-
ter If It Is an hour before time for the openIng - '
Ing of sc.'lol , they are compelled to go at
once to the study ( room and remain there.
They are not allowed to loiter In the halls
nor to visit any ol the other students In the
tjulldliig. Once InsIde the study room they
ao not allowed to leave It without permls-
1Ion of the tacher In charge. This same
.trlct discipline Is kept UII during the day.
The PUPIlS are not allowed to look from a
window or pass a moment In The corridors ,
but are confned continually while Inside the

bul1ng.
During the last few weeks there has been
an unusual nUmber ol CD es of dlclplne ,
Cpclaly In the study room. Tw Instances
are cited In which the teachers In charge of
the study room have used violence upon the
PUPIlS without just CStIZC. so the pupils agree
In asentlng. and the entire clan Is In arms
over the affairs. In the first Instance Ralph
S'hepard , a junIor , was punished by' Miss
, Greene , who was In charge of the study room. .
The pupil was sUPPosEd to have been guilty
of some minor infraction of the Ironclad rules.
lie wnB IeiZal ly ls OreEno and given a
violent shaking In the presence of the members -
hers of the elasl
S BmmTINO Lln LOTS WIFE.
The second cafe of punishment has caused
even greater indignation. Willie Darrows , a
Junior , was In the study room at worlc , when
Wiiam Kelsey , whG hall charge of the room ,
asked him l'nat he le doing. The pupil re-
plied that he was copying algebra. The
teacher noticed that the student hall some
other book , or viler , In his hand , and Immediately -
diately pounced upon him and punished him
with great severIty. This act arouse the
students to great indignation . as Kelsey Is
reputed to be especially severe In his treat-
mcnt of the pupils anti Inclined to violence on
'very slight Provocation. An Instance of bls
liberality In punishment for trivial offenses
IB cited In his tnatlent of a female student
who was told by him to go to the seventh
hour , that IB , to remain an hour after school.
-ho girl was Ignorant of having violated any
rule , and Ikell him what her punishment
was for. lie promptly Impcsll the seventh
hour punlment for two days. She looked
around In surprise and Ktsey added another
dlY. I was like a case of a base bal umpire -
pire fining a player for looking ugly. Before
the girl reached the study room she looked
at the teacher again and was notf11 that
she would have nn extra hour for study for
four days. This was piling the opportunites
for study Iii tee rapIdly to satisfy [ even a
most ) lngry student , anti the girl sought
the study room without again ( looking back.
The seventh hour room Is crowded each day
by the pupils of the dllernt gr3des. Some
of them are kept for a specified time and
some are In for Indefinite Ierlods. None of
them ar able to llscover , any rll cause ror
the punishment. The students call attention to
the fact that all cases requiring corporal pun
Ishmcnt are . by the rules , supposed to be
I . sent to the principal , hut the teachers are
.
. taking the mater In their own hands and
- . running the school regardlEls of the rules of
the Board cf Education or the rights of the
pupils to a fair hearing of the charge ) against
them. An op'en protest Is booked for pre
sentatlon very soon unless there Is I eiange
I In the treatmEnt of the pupils by the teach-
era In charge or the study room.

centy before a te1ehers' aoelaton meeting
In Illinois uy Mr. John 10ley Cark , dean
of the Cole go of Social Economics of New
York City . lie did not speak In dIsparagement -
mont of the study or classics , mathematics ,
or science' . but In criticism of the mieglect
particularly In the high schools , of the study
of economics. In the nature and range Qf
the s'ubjocta purlued , our mCImoolti . Mr. Clarke
said . are modeled after the - In England

pected that the common people ] would ever
have need of a knowledge of the state and
of its industrIes and political princIples , which
Is the . foundation of : the highest national
prorperity. . "Dut thls.ls the age of the ped-
pie . Mr. Clark continued , " ( ho era of good
government clubs and Independent political
action. I Is nol enough that the leaders or
parties should know or think but the people !
them ! ' lves must be trainEd to think and
fted to form Intelgent judgment concerning '

presented for ace ptance or rejection . " And

Time late Interview ot President Dwight of
Yale on the outlook for the poor young man
In Yale college touched only one side of the
question. Ills advice to the poor young i
man was to go to college I he possibly could : ;
that the double struggle for education and
support coull not fail to develop the highest
qtmahittes or eharscter and the highest capac-
Iy , and that the poor student would be all
the better for the dlfcultt he had encoun-
tered and overcome
This Is not merely sound sense and god
al\lel bays the New York World ; It Is
truth that Is almost axioniatic. All that
remains to be added ' to It Is that It Is a
good thing for the colEges to have poor
young Inen for 6tudents. The gain Is
mnittuai The true greatness and value of our
colleges come not from the rich endowments
nor the costly buildings . nor from lie social
prestige anti luxurious lives of the "swell
set , " but from the ambition . the energy , the
zeal and time achievements of the serious and
de\otC1 seekers after learning , nine out of
ten of whom In every college will be found
to be Iloor men
By all means let the pear youug men go
to college If they can and get the benefit of a
college education ; and by all means let the
colleges jet the benefit ol having the poor
young men for students.
