President Cornell University.
Coming of the University.

sem Low, VINO was not long ago honOred
with the presidency of Columbia College, is a
native OF Brooklyn. of which city he was cleo ed
Mayor In 1881. In that office he gained great
credit by Introducing business reforms into the
administration of The city government. He
served TWO terms as Mayor and then went
abroad for period, after which he accepted
Columbia's offer. He was born In 1850, gradu-
ated from Columbia In 1870. and then entered
his fathers mercantile business. He was the
founder OF The Brooklyn Bureau Of Charities
aud its first president.
1t has been we'll said by President Stan
ley Hall of Clark University that educa-
ton is the only theme as to the advantages
of which all mankind at the present day
are agreed Everywhere one sees the
greatest activity in all matters relating to
education along the whole range of schools,
from the kindergarten to the university.
In the education of the very young the
kindergarten has justified its right to be.
Every community, therefore. which aims
to give to its children the best opportuni-
ties should make the kindergarten part
of It's public school system.
In education for older children the i'm
pOrtance of manual training is no longer
an open question. The education that is
to be had through the channel of the hand
is recognized to be not less important than
that which comes through the eye and the
ear. This reform also ought to fiHd its
place in the public school system of every
enlightened community.
La the domain of advanced education,
the country Is to be congratulated on the
gradual api earance of the university as
distinguished from the college. The
American college which aims to give a
liberal training Is as much needed as ever,
but it Is pleasant 10 know that the uniyer-
sitv which aims to provide the best possible
facilities for specialization and research is
not to be confined henceiOrth TO the
European side of the Atlantic. Here and
there in the United States, such facilities
are being developed upon sound fouRda-
tons. This development is full of promise
for the entire educational system of the
country. For education, like water, has
the power to uplift just IN proportion to
the height from which it flows.
The hool system of the country will be
more effective just in proportion as the
university turns out men whose training
and abilities enable them to lift the whole
level OF popular knowledge and desire in
the different fields which attract the atten-
ton IT the human intellect. 1t is a source
OF pride and pleasure to those Of us who
live in the Eastern part of the Union, as
well as source Of inspiration 10 us, to
know that our brethren of The Pacific
slope are moving forward along these lines
shoulder TO shoulder with US and step by
step. May | avail of your courtesy 10
extend my wishes for a bright New Year
to a the educational interests of CalifOr-
mia?

The Retention of Greek.

Jacob Gould Schurman is a native Of Prince
Edward Island, where he was born In 1854
He graduated at London University in 1877.
After filling several important educational po-
sitions in Canada he became professor OF phil
osopbv at Cornell. and was subsequently ele-
waited TO the presidency. He is the author OF
''Kantian Ethics and the Ethics OF Evolution"
"The Ethical Import Of Darwinlsm'' and "a
Peopl IS University" He is a regular con-
trlbutor to the Archiv fur Geschichte der Phil
osphe in Berlin.
The subject that will con tinue to demand
the earnest con sideration of college facul-
ties is the question of Greek as prescribed
study. The great enrichment OF the col
lege curriculum in recent times by the ad-
ditiOn of modern languages and literatures,
history. economies. social science and
other subjects, has compelled almost every
college in the Epglish-speaking world to
consider the wisdom and feasibility of
making Greek an elective study in order
10 get point Of introduction for the new
humanities. Many American institutions
have cut down the time assigned to Greek
while some no longer require Greek for
graduation or even for admission. The
time has come when the question should
be considered by repressD alive commit
still require Greek for the A. b. degree
| another COMMITTEE of ten," If you please.
II Greek should be made an elective study
the necessity of the modern university's
maintaining two or three humanlstic
| courses in its curriculum would disappear.
Logically. the ideal university should
| recognize three lines of study: first. that
| of languages and literature the humans
| tic course); secondly, that Of mathematics
| and the natural sciences Qhe scientific
course), aud thirdly. the application OF
these sciences (the technical courses). Put
| ting aside technical education, this blur
cation Of roads, one leading through the
| humaDities and the other through the sci
ences of nature, implies two degrees, but
not more than two. In the recent revision
of courses in Cornell University the fac
ulty acted on this principle, namely, that
| there can be but two typical. fundamen-
| tally different courses of liberal study: the
one humanistic. the other naturalistic.
| What we know is either man or the world.
| We may study the Inanifes atoms OF ma
ture or we may study the performances of
| the human spirit. Men are born with
different endowments; every student Is
| Ell her humanist or scientist.
Certain preparatory studies are requisite
| for both courses, and what mathematics is
| to the sciences of inorganic nature, Latin
the key to Roman civilization and culture.

President of the University of Minnesota
More DiscipIinarv Work.

Charles Kendall Adams, president OF the
University Of Wisconsin, is native of Yer.
mont. He was born In 1885. He graduated
from the University Of Michigan and held
professoIship in hat institution. In 1885 he
su cceeded Andrew ID. White as president OF
Cornell and was subsequently called TO Wis
consin. He is the author of Democracy aud
Monarchy IN France" and "Manual OF His
torical Literature"
| have long had the impression that ex-
cepting for purely technical purposes. we
forget nearly everything that We learn In
the schools and colleges. The subjects we
can make use of in practical life are really
very few in number. If we ask ourselves
how many people use the advanced math-
ematics, or chemistry, or physics, or bot
any. or any language excepting English.
we shall find the number surprisingly
small. The popular notion, therefore,
concerning what are called practical
studies is one of the great absurdities OF
the time.
Our schools would be improved if they
were reorganiZed with the purpose of CIV
ing larger amount of strictly disc pliDary
work, and a smaller amount of those
shreds OF knowledge that will soon be
fOrgo item. Studies should De selected
which will develop in the largest measure
the powers of discriminating perception,
powers of reasoning. the Judgment, and
the moral motives In all good schools
studies defined to accomplish these ends
will have leading place. 1t is also
worthy of note that very few boys follow
the pursuits in life which they marked out
for themselves before they arrived at ma
turity. Studies directed specially TO fiji
themselves for particular purposes will
often be found to have been thrown away.

Higher Salaries for Teachers.

have growing conviction that the next
step looking toward the improvement of
all grades of school work In the United
States is in the general raising of the sal
aries of teachers all along the line.
A very small percentage of the tea chers
of the United States have adequate train
ing for their work. If larger salaries were
paid boards of control couldoinsst on this
training.
Six months of school work for pupil
under teacher in every way well equipped
teacher of insufficient preparation. If our
schools were equipped with teachers of
the right kind for six months there is no
doubt but that the public would see that
the proper funds were provided for such
work for full school year.

BrigandS i'm Greece.

As far as brigandage is concerned. most
OF Greece is as safe as Piecadilly and much
more respect able. Since the affair at
Pikermi on the road to Marathon, in 1871,
Attica has been perfectly secure, and the
PeIop0nese and the isthmus have COM
pleteIy lost heir traditional terrors. But
Thessaly and the Turkish frontier are
still dangerous. When | was in Athens
the sensation Of the day was he trial of a
Greek member of Parliament and his two
brothers before the Criminal Court al
Larissa on charge OF completely with
brigandage in the neighborhood of Trik-
kala.
Some of the evidence was of most ex-
traordinary character, and among the
statements made by the witnesses was an
allegation that the spOl was to be divided
into three parts. One-third was to 90 10
the brigands, one-third to the accused, and
the remaining third as a thank offering to
the church! The newspapers OF the op-
p0slte party TO that of the accused Deputy
naturally made as much political capital
out of the affair as they could, but strenu-
Gus efforts were made TO secure an acQuittal,
and although the evidence appeared to cor
roborate the charge, the honorable men,
Der and his brothers were pronounced in
nocent.
Two days later the son and the nephew
OF local MAYOR were captured by dan
gerous band OF robbers near Goura, q OF the
place of that name in the Peoponnese, but
q village on the northern slopes of Mount
Othrys, 10 Thessaly. In this case the
brigands demanded 10000 drachmas ran
som, but ultimately took 5000 on the IN
De allowed to escape. But Drigandage,
like everything else, is highly colored for
party purposes.-The Westminster Re.

Education of Women.

The aims of education are many, but
they have never been summed up more
fully aud concisely than 10y Herbert
Spencer when he said that the object OF
education was complete living" This
means that education shall make the bes t
of us; shall develop all our powers, bodily,
mental, artistic. social. moral and spirit
ual. To become the most rounded and
efficient in character possible. is the in
born right OF every woman as well as OF
every man.
In the public school systems of our
States, girls share equally with boys all
the opportunities of education UP TO the
grade OF High Schools. Fathers should
see that their daughters have as full access
to these advantages as their sons.
In our country public welfare is as much
dependent upon the liberal education OF
women as of men, and perhaps even more
so. Women touch life upon the side of
home, of social functions. of culture and
morals,-the springs of national we'll be-
ing. Therefore in all our States and coun-
ties girls should equally with boys find in
High Schools the opportunity to prepare
for any College open to them. In some
States this is not now the case. Private
schools for girls are often not so well
equipped, endowed or taught as those for
boys, and this should be corrected.
In the New England States. New York
and Pennsylvania almost exactly eight out
ten teachers of all grades are women.
These women teachers should have far
more generally than now a High School
and collegiate education, that they may
give more:generous, broader and sounder
tone to their teaching and to their inf1u-
ence upon their pupils than they can 10 at
present. Moreover, besides all the exist.
ing co-educational universities and col
leges, there should be an increasing num-
Der of like institutions of high grade Tor
women alone, where they can enjoy more
personal freedom and other special adj
manages than they can in our excellent
cu-educatonal institutions.
ALI the colleges for women are crowded
with students. and the steady advance In
the quality and quantity of higher educa-
ton for women in America is most crafty.
ing. Not only is there constant gain in
sound scholarship in these colleges and
universities, but through their training
women are better qualified in all that
adOrns womanhood TO do their part in car.

and progress of mankind. Edison's ex-
periments in electricity are power as much
as Webster's constitutional arguments.
To-day the student can get what he

make mistakes in deciding what he wants

Cyrus Northrop was born in RIdgefed, Conn.,,
in 1884. He graduated from Yal- In 1857 and
from the law school IN 1859. He was professor
OF rhetoric and English literature in Yale from
1873 to 1884. when he became president of the

many addresses, of which dozen or more have
been published.

If the Hungarians have remained be-
hind their Austrian brethren. it may be
said that administration jurisdiction and
public instruction still bear the print OF
a new political body and have not yet at
tanned the routine and perfection Of long
standing machinery of government. But
time, all powerful time, will help over
these difficulties, and the Hungarians,
whose political independence is now
thousand years old, will in the course of
time assume an eminent position among
the various nationslities of Southeas tern
Europe; a position 10 which they are en-
titled by their brilliant political qualities
and unshakable love of liberty and iude-
pendence. At present Hungary IS still
