THE CAUSE OF EDUCATION.

President Elliott, OF Harvard College, En-
dorses the Elective System In Colleges in
q Paper Read Before tho Nineteenth Cent
ury Club.
NEW YORK, Feb. 24.--The parlors of Mrs.
Courtlandt Palmer's residence were thronged to-
night by intellectual ladies and gentlemen, it
being the regular monthly meeting of the Nine
teenth Century club. A number OF persons emf
nent In educational matters were present, in
Guiding President Elliott. Of Harvard university;
Dr.. McCosh, OF Princeton college, and Gen. A.. s.
Webb, president of the College of the City of New
York. A paper on the elective system in college
studies was read by President Elliott. He
thought the average American boy could go
to college ut the nge of eighteen. HI
than any college faculty can map out for him.
The result Of President Elnot's own observa-
tiens in the elective system Of studies as
watched by him for nine years. extending from
moro theoretical and pr actical merit for his case
than any curriculum prescribed In his college
days. Under the elective SYSTEMS great major
ity of Students select some particular subject
and wisely devote the greater part of their time
toit. President Elliot then proceeded to give a
tahulated statement Of tho number of members
of the faculty employed in colleges
where the elective system prevails. and III
others, wherei 1t is not observed. He cited the
corps Of instructors in Princeton as thirty-three
and was corrected with some .asperity by DR..
McCosh, who blurted out "forty-one." The
Harvard president then remarked the number
Of Princeton teachers would reach forty one II
the theological faculty. were included. we have
no Theological faculty at Princeton" said Rev.
DIR. McCosh, sharply. DR.. Elliott proceeded
with the reading of the table and paid no atten.
ton to the last remark Of the venerable presi.
dent Of Princeton. Discussion followed, in which
DIR. McCosh vigorously controvcrted the prin.
ctples ennnciated by the educator from Cam
bridge. President Webb. of the College OF the
City OF New York, also announced himself az
differing from President Elliott in some things.

TRANsCoNTINENTAL TROUBLES,


Another Meeting to BE Held by the Associ-
adon in Chicago-The Alma 4 Northern
General and Local Notes.
A meeting of the Transcontinental association
Is to be held in Chicago Thursday or Friday Of
this week for the purpose of considering what is
to be done to place the pool into working order.
At present the affairs of the association are con-
stderably mixed up. The agreement adopted at
the late meeting ut Ban Francisco cannot be put
into effect because the Texas g. Pacific missouri
Paci6c) refuses to sign it in its present shape.
This company demands that the st. Louis &
Ban Francisco and the New Orleans & Houston
line OF the Southern Pacific must become mem
bers OF the pool before 1t will sign any agree
ment. Another difficulty the association has to
deal with Is to find an ACCEPTABLE person as COM
missioner of the pool. 1t Is understood that
Mr.. {. W. Smith. at present general manager Of
the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad, to whom the
position OF commissioner was lately rendered.,
has peremptorily declined 1t. The present act
ing commissioner, g. Cannon, is not accepta-
BILE to all the lines. The most serious trouble,
however, is regarding the maintenance of rates
from seaboard and other Eastern points to the
Pacific coast. It Is understood that the trunk
lines refuse to longer maintain the rates agreed
nnpn a month or Two ago, as the Southern Pa
cfnc's New Orleans line tShnset ronte) continues
to get away with the bnlk Of the seaboard bust
ness, and 1t is claimed that it does this by sys-
tematically cutting the agreed rates.

The Deadwood Office reports that 1t never had

In view of the passage Of the bill by congress
70 repeal the pre- emption and timber culture
laws, a new stimulus will be given to immi-
grafton. Under each of these acts a settler
can take up 100 acres, and can exercise both
rights at the same time, as the timber culture
law does not require personal residence on the
land, The bill for repeal provides that the
act shall not take effect till July 1, 1885, SO that
settlers making their things prior to that
period can secure. land down to that date.
1t y apparent that settlers who desire
TO obtain land under these acts must do
so during the coming season. As this
tact becomes moro generally known, it
seems probable a strong stimulus will
be at once given to immigration into those re-
gions of the northwest where desirable gov
eminent lands are yet open to energy. There
Is no disposition to repeal the homestead act.
Under tins a settler who goes on the land and
remains there five years can obtain title for
ioo acres at total cost Of about $50. It will,
however, be readily seen that those who go
out IN the coming spring will have the adyant
ages OF 5U acres over those who may hereaf-
Ter be permitted to exercise homestead rights,
as a settler who has taken land under the pre-
emption and timber culture laws as they now
stand can afterward exercise his homestead
right and take 100 acres more. Under the pres
ent laws he can secure in five years $50 acres
OF public lands. After the first Of July he can
9nly1 take up 100 acres, and must reside on the
land to be entitled tc ii.

tuesday after the permanent organization, and
II 1t were necessary to determine that question,
1t was for the Forty-ninth and not the Forty

OF course there was no doubt whatever Of Mr..
