Reform Needed m our Educa-

In recent address before one of the secret college societies at its annual convention in New York, Professor Wincne.l, of Syracuse all luded very pointedly to some of the defects in our educational system. Among other defects the Professor spoke ofone to which the reference has frequently been made Tn the col umns ofthe Free Press, the failure of the system to provide that education which fits the pupil for an intelli- gent discharge of his duties as cit izen and an elector. On this point the professor said:
