engineer corpa.
Tha organization of a company In

I point required in foreign languages, four
roust be In Latin to enter the college of
art and sciences, the teachers' college,
snd the college uf medicine, provided that
the cov.imittte on accredited schools may
accept German or French to meet the re

the case of especially approved accredited
schools for entrance to any college except
that of medicine. Three points In geome
try are required to enter the college of

these may be substituted for two points
in language.
The thirteen credit may be elected from:

A few of the stronger accredited high
schools may, by special action of the com
mittee on accredited school, be granted
two additional elective credits In English,
in American history and in European his

are (1) the greater uniformity In the en

French or German for Latin when the
amount and character of tha work will
Justify It, (3) the provision that one-fifth

Snggestloas FornalaXed
by Stat
Commission.
The country life commission appointed by
the governor of the state of Washington
has outlined plans for a model country
school and community center whicn is to
be established near Spokane as an experi
ment. The plans call for ten acres of
ground, a consolidated rural school, a com
munity hall, a cottage for the teacher,
ample play ground and space for practical
work In agriculture. The school Is designed
to serve an area of thirty-nix square miles,
the most distant point being three miles.
The school house Is to be "homey" in
appearance, aa well as modern and sani
tary, a building erected within tha means
of the district and yet one to which the
farmers and their wives and children will
point with pride.
Thl new type of echooihouse, says the
commission' report, shall be supplemented
with a second building which ahall contain
a business office, library, hall, kitchen a
community ball that may be used fur the
meetings Of farmers' organizations, of
women' country clubs' and for general and
social gatherings of all kinds, he'ng pro-
Lvlded with a kitchen and other convenient
furnishings, including fittings by which
lectures with lantern slide may be given,
aa well a some gymnasium apparatus.
Aa a library thl community ball should
contain, besides the usual book in school
libraries, Information now In possession of
tb national department of agriculture and
the state experiment station. Thl infor
mation should be arranged so that It can
be easily obtained by any of the farmer
of th district. There should also be
collected her agricultural paper on file,
and any other local or general information
which may be of value to the patrons of
the school, aa well a to th scholars them
selves. A a business office there should be
collected In the community hall a list of
what I being grown for market In the
district, so that thos desiring to purchase
any of these products can learn by tele
phone the kind and qualities to be ob
tained la the district, a live stock, fruit,
grain or vegetable.
A third building demanded by tb coun
try life school is a bom for the principal
of the school, a home that can serve as
a model to the average teacher.
Primarily, the purpose cf the school 1
for the average boy one of the ninety-five
out of every 100 who institutional edu
cation, ends even before he ba finished
th secondary school. He goes oa to th
farm, into th ahop or to the office, while
the exceptional boy five out of every 100
goes through th high school, and if he
is more exceptional one or two in 100
he enter a college and studies to become
physician, a lawyer, a minister, an en
gineer or a soldier.
Th community center is to be beautiful
without being made oiuaie. and no saloon,
store, shop or other commercial institu
tion can be located within half a mile of
It boundaries. The teacher will be men
and women with red blood In their veins
and able to adapt themselves to the high
ideals of a center and school of the type
outlined, rather than technical educator.
MR. TAFT AT BstYJf H1WR,
Iaflaeaees af Girls' Colleges a Prat
ies far Paraata.
President Taft told the girls at Brya
stawr that the higher education waa good
for them, no matter what they finally
turned to. If they got married, it ought to
make better wfve and mother of them,
and if they didn't, it ought to uak them
happier and more useful In the Independent
state. All that ia true, of course. To de
selojs, train, trees' the a, and Inform th
I mind of a girl, comment Harper's Weekly.
!. J'ift as Important as to do the like for
a hoy. That Is pretty much concede J In
these Intelligent days, though many ques
tions still runaln as to the particular pro
cesses that art fitted to develop girls' minds
and how they differ from the processes
proper to train the minds of boy. That the
girls' colleges have succeeded and that the
work they do Is exceedingly valuable Is con
ceded. The women they have trained have
been heard from, and are being heard from
more every year, and they are women that
our civilization could by no means spare.
And yet the girls' colleges seem to be still
rather mora of a problem than the boys'
colleges. They ought to be, of course, for
they are newer. The whole problem of the
education of girl 1 newer. The solution
It has had so far has been to give the girls
as far as possible what Is given to the boys.
We do not find that the more thoughtful
with that solution, nor with the girls col-
lege aa they are. The colleges are good,
but their courses and Influences are not yet
accepted anything like so generally aa the
best thing for gtrls who can get them, a
the processe of the boys' college are ac
cepted us the bent thing for boys. We find
larents weighing very carefully what their
girls might pet at college against what It
would be possible to give them at home. We
find parent considering, not without anx
iety, what they will get back if their girl
goes to college.
Tbe liking for domestic women ia atill
prevalent, and so I th notion that college
girls, after four years of Independent life,
may take domestication hard. It 1 true
that domestication can be overdone. Nev
ertheless, there Is some current disappoint
ment In the working and results of the
women's colleges, some feeling that there
are losses to offset what girls gain in
them; some feeling that they do not yet
combine all the advantages of the best col
leges with those of the best boy' colleges.
STANDARDS OF I.IVISO.
Efficiency aad Laisry la University
Training.
If "efficiency" were the object of educa
tion, as it so clearly la In Germany, and
as it so clearly ought to be here, it would
be recognized at the outset that frugality
was conducive to it and luxury hostile,
says Scribner't Magaxine. In England,
Froude said that university education
fitted a man extremely well for tlie grade
of gentleman, but for no other that he
knew of. And In that Oxonian classic, "Tom
Brown," we find one of the hero's heroes
telling him, "Three year at Oxford, my
boy, will teach you something of what
rank and money count for, if they teach
you nothing else." That lesson Is one
which, of all lessons, should In America
be postponed to a postgraduate course, and
not Inserted, either a compulsory or a
elective. In th undergraduate curriculum.
Thing are by no mean a badly off with
u yet In thi respect aa they are with the
Engl&b. There is no American Institution
of learning as yet In which a Rhodes
scholarship would not snable its holder to
get tho full benefit, of the Institution, soci
ally aa well a schoiaatlcally and athleti
cally. If any American undergraduate
snouid complain to his parent that he
"could not live" on that allowanoe, the
parent. If he had any sens at all, would
promptly withdraw him from that seat
of learning. The sense of humor has,
auiung inner aeuniuons, Deen defined a a
enae ot proportion. And the sense of
humor on which we pride ourselves ought
to Buffic to prevent tbe spending by any
youth, engaged In the preparation for the
battle of life, of more than three or four
times the yearly amount that he could
reasonably expect to earn In the open mar
ket after his preparation was completed
and he had entered the battle. And, moat
certainly. It is not good that different
"standards of living" depending on dif
ferent amounts of "private means," should
be encouraged or even tolerated by the
fatuity of an American university. A
place of education is the last place In
which there is room for a set of social
distinctions baaed on money.

RIDES A RUNAWAY ENGINE;

Driving" R
With on of It Immense driving rod
broken off cloee to the wheel so thst It
flew about like a great flail la th grasp of
a monster lashing Itself to greater speed,
a locomotive tor dowa the steep declivity
of Pickerel mountain, near Somervllle,
N. J.. Saturday at sixty mile an hour,
with the driver sitting astride th hot
boiler like a jockey and the fireman crouch
lng la the cab ia momentary fear of being
rut in half by the whirling lash of steel.
That neither man wa killed I consld
ered marvellou by the hundred of person
along the ten mile of track over which
the great locomotive sped. Ilk a horse
which has thrown Its rider and rushes on
until wearied by Its pace.
With every revolution of the broken rod
there wa crash and th flying of smaller
steel pert and woodwork within th cab
In which th fireman lay prostrate, and
when the locomotive drew up ot it own
accord at the end of th run to level rail
on side of It had been sheared off as If
with some Immense blade.
Apart from a severe scorching, th driver.
Joseph Luts of Easton. Pa., was uninjured
by his thrilling ride, and the fireman suf
fered only minor bruise from the flying
debris.
The locomotive wa hauling tha Eaaton
express on the Central railroad of New
Jersey and had Just begun the descent of
Pickerel mountain when Luts heard some
thing snap, and a moment later saw the
Immense rod of steel lashing th air. After
It had gone on perhaps a hundred yards
the broken end hit the ground beside the
rail and a mass of eartn and stone ballast
was hurled against the window of the cab,
the glass raining in on Luu and his com
panion.
Meanwhile they had reached a steeper
grade and were approaching a sharp turn
In the track, and Luu .decided on a des
perate mean of stopping th steel machine.
The spinning rod had smashed the cab and
disarranged the controlling mechanism so
that to stop tha train by the ordinary
means were Imposaible. The throttle arm
had been bent so it could not be moved.
Going t the oppoert side of the loco
motive, Ltrt elimbd through the little
window and out on the back of his run
away in an effort to reach some of the
controllng apparatus from th outside. He
sat astride the scorching boiler until It
was no longer bearable, and as he felt
himself sliding involuntarily to th unin
jured aide ot hi charge, he grasped the
bell rope and rang It wildly, for he had re
tained his presence of mind and knew he
must sound a warning for several grade
crossings soon to be reached. HI hold
on the rope also saved him from falling.
Th sharp curve was reached In another
moment and the htavy train took the turn
at Its terrific speed with a swiah like the
crack of a whip and continued it head
long flight In the meantime the spinning
rod had dona all th damage possible to
the cab, and the fireman made hi way on
hands and knee to the Under, where he
wa safe from further bombardment.
At last Luts waa ab to reach a vital
pot In the locomotive, from which he could
open one of the principal steam valves,
and the white vapor rushed from the big
machine with a roar that was heard a
mile away. But still th locomotive was
train a- down th steep grade, snd even
when robbed of Us power, its apeed scarcely
slackened perceptibly until a long stretch
of level track was covered. . Then It drew
up slowly, with convulsive movement, a if
it were a horse chafing under a curb bit.
A few seconds more and It stood panting
about three mile from tb foot- of th
mountain.
No one aboard the train was awar ot
what had happened until word wa sent
to High Bridge for another locomotive to
take the train to its destination. New

Flashe of lightning caused th destruc
tion of a lumber yard, damaged a number
of barns and knocked two Burlington
operators senseless, while a deluge ot rain
and hall brought salvation to tike crop
In the neighborhood of Afton last night.
Willi violent volhys of thunder and
blinding flashes of lightning the electrical
a tor in played over the towne of Aftou,
Thayer and Athens, located within a radius
of ten mile.
One of the stroke set fir to th Blattly
Lumber company' yard at Afton and. ba
Its loMi destruction, caused a damage of
tx,0u6, ot which 7.0o9 la covered by insur
ance. When a flash fell upon the Hurl lng ton
telegraph lr between Afton and Thayer,
the operators at both stations, who hap
pened to be seated at their Instrument
sending message., were thrown across
their station by the shock. Charles Sennet
t.as the operator at Afton and Edward W.
Mormon the one at Thayer. Neither man
naa seriously lnjuied.
Several boys narrowly mlsaed death
while hiding from the storm's fury in the
bara ot Farmer W. S. Simpson, a mile
west of Afton, when the lightning atruck
the barn. The bolt tore one end of the
building clear off and liberated four horse
and lAO pigs which also were under it
shelter.
Aside from the damage and fright caused
th storm is blessed by nil the farmers ot
the locality, as It Is dec. U red to have saved
the crops. There had not been any rain
in that section for weeks.

Telephone girls are used to being called
up to give th correct time of day; to being
called down by the man ;n a hurry for re
porting that the number he c;.ila does not
answer when he Is "sure'' me one is
waiting beside the phone at the other etui
for his signal, but a Maiden leiepaone girl
has one on them all wnen It comes to be
ing a bureau of Information. Laat Sun
day this call came to the Maiden swtch
board: "Say. operator, my wife has gone away
and left me to cook the Sunday dinner. I
have got along right except for the spinach
but that's got my goat, and I cai't even
find a recipe book. How do you :ook the
blamed stuff?"
It wasn't exactly telephone business, but
be got the directions. Out in Maiden there
is aome woman who ia extolling the vir
tues of her husband as a cook, and the re
cipient of the praise Isn't saying much.
