For Lower standard in Colleges.
Generally speaking the tendency is to ele-
vate the standard Of education for admis-
sion to the colleges of this country, and 20
make the curriculum more comprehensive.
This. of course, would keep the student
longer at college. pr. Ira Remscn, profess
sor Of chemistry at Johns Hopkins univers-
ity, thinks the tendency is in the wrong
direction. and in an address before the as
ISOLATION Of colleges and preparatory
schools Of the middle states and Maryland,
which has been published in phamplet form
he makes a plea for lower standard in
colleges. The system of teaching children,
which is commonly referred TO as cram
ming" has often been inveighed against as
injurious 10 the children. and as failing
very often to accomplish the end of afford
ing substantial basis for a satisfactory
education. 1t seems to be Dr. Remsens
idea that there is merely difference in de-
gree in the examining of small children
and larger ones. To reach up to the high
standards now maintained, the student in
preparation for college or for the univers-
eXertions that an artificial state of mind
results. and what is supposed to have been
learned is merely the reelection of impress
sions that can hardly be called altogether
inteligently fixed in the mind The rails
ing of the standard, he says. requires more
work at cost to the quality of the work
Quantity stands before quality, and the
colleges seem to pride themselves more on
the list of subjects that they can display
than on the manner in which the students
are developed.
As to the length of tine that is required
under the existing system for a student to
complete a college course, DR.. Remsen
thinks it a startling fact that boys cannot
get through college until they are twenty
two or twenty-three years old, that they
cannot take a degree in a first-class pro-
fessional school till they are twenty-six or
twenty-seven, and that they cannot finish
their professional preparations abroad and
get settled to work before they are thirty
He therefore thinks there should be a re-
duction in standard and in the length of
the collegiate course in order to let the
young men get out into the world and
to work at an earlier age. He sees no rea-
son why the German university idea should
be forced upon the American college sys-
TEN. when there is no prospect of the col
leges supplanting the universities in this
and other countries. There is really no Sc
rious conflict between the colleges and the
higher institutions, and there is not likely
to be. Each has it's own field; and American
colleges, at least, should try to cul-
uvate mat field thoroughly, rather than
enlarge it to abnormal proportions. Along
this line, President Eliot Of Harvard advo-
Gates a three years course for colleges,
which would allow the graduates to get
to their professional and special work a
year earlier than they do under the exist
ing system.

Death Of Mother Anstie,

Yesterday morning at one o'clock, Mrs.
Elizabeth Anstie died, in the sixty-fifth
year of her age, from tuberculosis OF the
stomach and bowels, having been suf-
ferer for many months.
ELIZABETH HOWARD
was born in London, England, May II,
1881. At the age Of four years her par
ents with their twin daughters started for
Montreal, Canada, but on the voyage her
parents and sister died with cholera.
She made her home with an aunt in
Montreal until twenty-five years of age,
when she married William Martin An.
site, soldier in the British army, vet
eran of the Crimean war, and afterward
Of the American Civil war. III March,
1857, they moved to Oswego, New York,
where their two sons, William w. and
Edward, were born, the latter dying
at the age Of four years. In 1888 she
took up her residence with her son Will
liam, who had gone there three years
before, and in 1886 they came to Aber.
deem. OF her life here it is hardly neces-
sary to speak, it was like an open book,
and many home will miss her kindly
face, her cheerful words and loving minis
trations. She had been an earnest, con-
sistent, helpful member of the Methodist
Episcopal church for 80 years, and of her
it can be truly said by all who knew her
that she was christian. The funeral
took place this morning at ten o'clock,
the services being held in the church,
and which was filled with friends who
had come to share in the sorrows of the
bereaved and to follow her to her resting
place, the silent city OF the dead.
Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep,
From which none ever wake to weep.

There are many cheap, inferior pianos

little more, but it is cheapest in the

THE ELECTION.

More than usual interest was taken in
the city election Tuesday, and a large pei
cent OF those registered voted, and when
the majority of the people come out and
elect as good men as they have this year,
even though personal preferences are de.
feated, all should be satisfied. There
were 294 votes cast, Of which j. A. Hood
received 235, shortage of 50 votes, the
greater part OF which were in his own
ward where SO, or very nearly one-third,
of the voters refused to vote at all for
mayor rather than vote for him.
The vote for clerk evidenced the per-
sonal popularity of r. P. Campbell, and
his majority would doubtless have been
greater had the Recorder published his
card in full instead OF trimming it to suit
the spite of Finch, as we are assured by
one Of Mr.. Campbell's closest friends was
the case.
The large majority Of James Patterson
is worthy tribute to big-hearted man
whose interests are all centered in Aber-
deem.
The election OF j. G. Cross as attorney
is credit to the community. 1t comes
to him unsought and without effort, and
notwithstanding the fact that Finch and
bis clique went back on him at the polls
after strenuously pledging their support
when they repeatedly urged him to allow
his name to be used.
Capt. Mitchell was complimented with
the highest vote Of any candidate in his
ward; N. G. kaufman being close Sec
ond, but with the highest total vote OF
any, thus dividing the honors with Capt.
Mitchell and proving his extreme popu-
larity. Messrs. Spoon and Jackson also
carried the strength Of their ward.
