PRESIDENTIAL CUSTOMS.

The custom of transmitting TO Congress 8
at the opening Of its session a message in
writing from the President of the United
States WAS first adopted by President J eff
ferson. During the administrations of
Presidents Washington and Adams, cover
ing period of twelve eventful years,
it had been the custom for the presi-
dent to meet the two Houses of
Congress in the Senate Chamber, where
the President would deliver speech Civ
ing his views on the questions likely to
come before them for legislation. To this
speech II was customary for the Senate to
return an address in witing, giving in re-
ply their views of those subjects discussed
by the President. This address was read
to the President by the President of the
Senate, accompanied by the Senate in a
body.
But in 1901 Mr.. Jefferson changed this
custom and sent his first message TO Com
gress in writing. Congress, had at that
session, for the first time assembled in the
new seat of Government at Washington
ana IL was not so convenient for the inter
change of addresses in person. For this
reason and the additional and more i'm.
portant one, that it might not always be
desirable or polite for the Senate To an
swer at once the Presider is suggestion on
public affairs, Mr.. Jefferson determined to
make the change referred to. 1t wasan inn
proVement without doubt and has been

COLLEGE INSTRUCTORS.


There is little of buncombe in tire real
substantial educational institutions of this
country. When the universities that give
shape and substance to the education of
America want men TO preside over them
they do not put the wits of their rulers to-
work to see who is popular, whose name
will draw students because of some heroic
service on the battle field or some popular
ity achieved through services in behalf OF
somegreat party or sect or state.
The first and primary consideration
ooked to by men of professional pride and
honor is, who will give our university
reputation and honor because of scholarly
attachments and executive ability? When
Princeton, rich with the honors of a cen-
tury, wanted a President, it did not call
from the political arena man of national
reputation as an orator, or from the cabinet
man eminent as statesman, but H.
searched the roll of scholars known the
world over and called to its head from
across the ocean, Dr. McCosh, unknown,
in the popular sense in this country.
Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cornell Unf-
versity, and other institutions we mighs
name, are training in their halls to-day
the minds that will lead future genera
tions in the great realm of intellectual
culture. They are training these young
minds to lay the foundation for future use -
fulness, upon the thorough, complete Gull
ture of the mind. They are teaching them
that to lead in the great army
of college educators they must
possess genuine merit and high scholarly
training. Such minds are not taught ts
cultivate popularity by the tricks of the
politician, or of the demagogue, for they
are not led to believe that their success de-
ponds upon the number of students they
can attract by such efforts, They are taught
correctly, that their future depends
upon their rank as scholars and their
ability to impart TO students the rich
treasures they have gathered by years of
diligence and application. We say they
are correctly taught that this is the
road to eminence and usefulness in their
profession, and is it not so? The parent
thorough education asks where he will
find scholarly, high-minded teacher. He
does not seek for the college professor
who can draw the most students because
of sectarian, political or family influences.
He wants the progressive, cultivated mind
that can lead his son out into new fields of
thought, into new treasures of knowledge
and the growing, ambitious, educated
young professor who is to develop new
methods of instruction, or explore new
realms of thought for the scholars of his
generation, is worth more to his college
and his scholars than one who draws his
hundreds, butcan give them nothing when
he has them under him.
We are glad the standard for teachers is
yearly improving, and that at last the
bright intellects training for this high call
ing are building their hopes upon their
merits as teachers and not their popularity
or fictitious influences.
