STANLEY MATTLIE US.

II is unfortunate for Mr.. Matthews that
the question OF his confirmation must be met
just at a time when the great telegraph con-
solidation has aroused the people to the
growing power OF the great corporations. II
would be strange, indeed If the Senators who
voted for the Thurman Pacific Railroad acts,
should deem the composition of the Supreme
Court on this question Of so little importance
that they could, without sacrifice OF prin
ciple, confirm justice of Mr.. Matthews's
known views thereon; It would be still moro
strange II those Senators should take this
low view Of the Importance OF the question
involved, after the light thrown upon the
tendencies of the times by the telegraph con-
solidation, and after the universal expressions
of public discomfort it has drawn forth.
Whether one agrees with the known views
of Mr.. Matthews, on the Thurman acts, for
we cannot, Of course, entertain the idea that
he spoke in the Senate as the attorney Of the
railways, or whether one agrees with the
Senators who voted by large majority for
those acts, il is matter for astonishment that
any serisus expectation should ever have
been entertained that he could by any posi-
bility or in any event be confirmed. There
would seem to..be an nimpassable gulf of prin-
ciple between a vote for the Thurman acts
and vote to place Stanley Matthews on the
Supreme bench.

Compctitiye Exnminntions.

As long ago as 1872 the late Sir Arthur
Helps, most sagacious observer OF public affairs,
wrote as follows on this subject:
- In Great Britain We have Of late adopted the
system OF competitive examination n means OF dis.
meni, although the system has long been adopted In
China, II Is most inadequate for Its purpose. 1t
detects qualifications which little needed, while 1t
fails, Inevitably, to discover those which arc most
needed ltisa bringing back Of the world to the
schools The main reasons given for Its adoption are

they are foreign to the main object which is to choose
ut men, and II possible tho nttest men, for certain
employments. Competitive examination Is mainly q
mode OF relieving those persons who ought 10 have Tho
burden OF making choice from the responsibility Of
In 1917 Mr.. Henry Latham, Fellow and tutor
OF Trinity Han, Cambridge, published an elaborate
means OF selection. This book has attracted much
attention In educational circles, and is worthy Of It.
The author carefully considers the practical operation
OF competitive examination as method OF choosing
tho ablcst men out Of considerable body OF cand.
dates and his conclusion Is that 1t Is impossible to
frame an examination which shall place men IN order OF
ability 1t Is also worthy of note that In discussing the
effect OF examinations upon the candidate himself
Mr. Latham declares that for full grown the Ills
OF examination outweigh the advantages. man
OF twenty-five, he says, with examination hanging
over him, Is hampered by sense OF nevcr-endng
pupllage.
The evils OF competitive examination are the sub
1cct OF paper In recent number of the Nineteeth
Century magazine, by tho Rev. A. II. Grant, lately
government Inspector OF schools In Great Britain.
Speaking from his own observation and experience,
this writer charges the system with having direct
tendency to exclude from the public service with
powerful minds and OF great capacity. We quote his
words:
''The man who succeeds In examinations has quick.
ness in acquiring, memory for retaining, and readi.
ness In producing knowledge; but he may he alto.
gether deficient in reflection, In grasp OF mind, IL
Judgment In weight OF character. 1t appears to me
that the examination system tends to select mind,
acute rather than deep active rather than powerful
and the worst Is that the heavier metal being gen
ery more slow in development Is apt be left in the
background Ibelleve that under competitive system
some OF our best indian administrators only might
| not but could not have been selected. -,

opposition to the Objectionable inequality
in the distribution Of trustees provided for
in the Senate amendment to the District
code. By this, for example, Uniontown,
with nine schools, has the same number Of
trustees rs the third division" compris-
ing the east half Of Washington, with one
hundred and ffty-ninc schools. The memo
riaists object to the provision which enables
the Commissioners to appoint nm indefinite
number of from one to fifteen trustees at
large, so that there is nothing to prevent all
of them from being taken from Georgetown
or Uniontown, This shifting number would
enable the Commissioners to gerrymander
the board at any time if it shonld not bc
sufficiently subservient.
