FRAGMENTS 01 COLLEGE REPORTS Plea for Mealral Car Pablla Sehae Calldrea rllaelala' Mold IfkMl aad lta Work. "To have spent one's youth at college and be unable yto acent human efccllnc unltM labeled 'or ticketed U a shipwreck of the higher education," declare Prof. E. J. Jame of the Illinois university, au thor of "Pragmatism," in tha February MeClure's. H continues: "The narrowest trade or professional training does something more for a man than to make a skillful, practical tool vf him It makes him also a judge of other men's skill. Whether his trade be plead ing at the bar or surgery or plastering or plumbing, it develop a critical serine In, him for that sort of occupation; . . . aad setting to know this in his own line, ha gets a faint sense of what good work may mean anyhow. Bound work, clean work, finished work; feeble work, slack work, sham work these words express an Identical contrast In many different departments of activity. In so far forth, then, even the humblest manual trade r may beget In on a certain small degreo of power to Judge of good work gen erally. "Now, what Is supposed to be the line of us who have the higher college train ing? Is there any broader line since our education claims primarily not to be "narrow' In which we also ar made good judges between what Is first-rat and what is second-rate only? What la especially taught In the colleges has long been known by the name of the 'humani ties.' ... Tou are made Into an efficient instrument ror doing a aeiinue thing, you hear, at the Schools; but, apart from that, ydu may remain a crude and , smoky kind of petroleum. Incapable of diffusing light Th universities and colleges, on the other hand, although tbey may leave you less efficient for this or that practical task, auffuse your whol mentality with something more important than skill. Thoy redeem you, make you well-bred; they make. 'good company' of vou mentally. If they find you with a naturally boorish or caddish mind, they cannot leave you so, as a technical school may leave. Su." Prlee ml Leauralaar In the treasury report of Tale university there Is a significant table showing the cost per student in eaoh department of the university and the amount received from each student toward defraying the expense of his education, says an educational journal. The report shows In the divinity achool n expenditure of 1699 per student, with no receipts; In the graduate school. IM.75 per student, wllh $44:99 receipts. Cor responding figures In the other departments oe: Academio department, $338.7J and 1162.89: scientific school. $274.29 and I166.M; law. School. $216.47 and $126.28; medical ichool, $247 and $122.14; art school, C57.M and $71.97; muslo sohool, $240.88 and $123.34; ind 'forest school, (477 and $109. It Is evl lent from this that In no department does the cost of th education offered by the university come within the amount paid by th student in the form of tuition.

Through th crmmlttee of fifty graduates. tUS.KSJ was contributed toward running ex- pen of the university, but th contribu tion did not reach a sum sufficient to meet the deficit In the general funds. That deficit was $126,944.00, and. It Is estimated, the deficit for the current year will be tUS.m While th last year wa one of unusual material advancement, funds avail- ble for general purposes still remained Inadequate, because nearly all of the new gift were set snide for special purposes. A Model flrhool. The school for observation and practlo a part of the publlo school system of Phila delphia, Is a rare and unique educational Institution. It I designed to give to young women who are studying to be teachers actual practice In teaching, and the chance to observe how pupils behave under such strain. This I done by having the young woman present In the classroom to wit ness such teaching as conducted by an ex perienced Instructor, and also by having her actually do some of the teaching her self. This school becomes naturally a part of the Philadelphia Normal school at Thir teenth and Spring Garden streets, where It I held. It wa started about 1878 In what waa then the high and normal school, at Seventeenth and Spring Garden streets, and when the normal sohool wss organ ised as a separate school at Its present location It went there. Th children now going to this school number 535, of which only 130 ar boys, on th model principle, doubtless, of "ladle first," even when they are only prospective Indies. These children come not necessarily from the district In which the school happen to be located, but from all over th city, and any child can go who can get In. If there happens to be a vacancy the child who knowa about it soon enough to ask fdr It first may have It; but there is no waiting list, because anyone applying on year would not want the same place th next year or later, when the name might be reached on the list. Such Is the reputation of the school, Indeed, that many who were on the waiting list would be old men and women before It was reached. Any child who begins In. the kindergarten goe through the .entire eight grades, so the only sure way to get tn Is' to begin at the bottom. All who do get in except by thi beginning have to stand an examina tion, whether they are transferred from other schools or not. v School Hrsrleae. ' ' '; Superintendent Maxwell of the public schools of greater New1, Tdrk.1 strongly urge th creation of a health department In connection with the eohbbl. and his recommendation have been favorably re ceived. "The condition of modern city life and of modern school life," he saya. "tend to produce physical defect and dis ease In children, which, unless remedied at' the start, retard their progress in school and diminish their usefulness and happiness In after life. "The condltiona of modern - city life which tend to produce physical defects In children are: Lack of exercise, city chil dren seldom having to walk more than two or three blocka to achool, and having lit tle work to perform about th horn that wow Id develop the muscles and breathing capacity; crowding. In poorly lighted and poorly ventilated apartment,, -which, re sults In various forma of tuberculosis: lack of space for free play lack; of Interesting occupation outside of schoql hours; exces slve noise (New Tork In Its crowded parts being probably the noisiest city on the glohejjj laSR of sufficient' steep, pwlog. to noise ana excitement; insufficient or un wise feeding, tea or .coffee, and bread be Ing the principal articles of,, diet , in the tenement house; uncleanly, habit of nr son. owlKg td lack of bathing lacllltlea and to lack of knowledge of th need ot soap ana water. "These condltlonstend to produce va. rlous forms of nervousness',' lowered vi tality, defective eyesight, v defective teeth and probably' those growths in the nose and throat which restrict respiration and drive the child into reckless mischief and defiance of authority. "Though the school Is doing what It may with lta present resources by physical training, by games, by athletic sports, by the maintenance of recreation center to neutralise th vll effects of urban life upon children; yet these resources are In adequate because they do little or nothing ior mose cnuaren who are suffering from some physical defect. "They are admirable and necessary for those children rwho' are naturally healthy ana vigorous; but what a fare It Is to urge the boy who is weak through, tha msumcioncy or unfitness of his food, or who cannot breathe pflbperly because of ournuiu frowmi in nis tnroat, to go In for relay racing br cross-country runnlna Th conclusion Is Inevitable; the urban school can do but tlttlo for the child suf fering1 from physical defects or weakness engendered by modern cltyllfe until the defects are removed or the weakness strengthened; therefore Its resources should be augmented by th establishment of department of school hygiene."

At that rate and from reports that are com ing from Fort siocuin there 4a spiur ently no reason why the ranks In all branches of the service should not be filled to their authorized strength beforo the winter Is over. ' A noncommissioned officer who accom panied a detachment from Fort Slocum a few days ago stated the recruiting offices In New York City were kept busy from morning until night and that a great many men were being turned down on account of defective vision. On one day alone sixty-eight men were rejected, mostly beekkeepers and clerks, on ac count of their vision.

As soon as Broughton could be questioned he was asked who hit him. but seemed loath to tell of the fray, stating that he fell on the sidewalk. This was known not o be the case and an Investigation was started to find out why and by whom he hud been assaulted. That evening he left the battery and has not been heard of since.

Chaplain You Would Not Accept Coontorfoit Money, Why Accept Counterfeit Goods GOOD money Is made by the Govern ment in which you have implicit faith end confidence. Good goods are made by manufacturer! who are willing to stake their reputations on the quality of the material of fered to you through the medium of their advertisements in this paper. Counter feit goods are not advertised. The reason for it is, they will not bear the close scrutiny to which genuine advertised goods are sub jected. Counterfeit money pays more profit to the counterfeiter. Counterfeit goods are offered to you for the same reason.
