YOUNG LAWYERS AND OLD ONES.
TIE LATTER THINK THE FORMER ARE NOT
MAINTAINING THE STANDARD OF THE BAR

TIE LATTER THINK THE FORMER ARE NOT
MAINTAINING THE STANDARD OF THE BAR
The swearing in OF an additional number OF new
members OF the bar has taken place within a few
DAYS both In New-York and In Brooklyn Some
OF the names In each list were those Of members
Of well-known legal families but large number
OF the applicants admitted gave no evidence OF
especially high character and training. Some older
members OF the bar who are most careful Of the
honor and dignity OF the profession have COM
plained that the character of newly admitted law
yers is not as high in former years. member
Of one OF the largest firms recently complained
that he found II difficult to get satisfactory clerks
among the young members Of the bar The law
schools are certainly efficient ever, and the
range OF studies Is wider than under old systems
One reason OF the complaint which undoubtedly
exists as 10 the capacity OF the recently admitted
members OF the bar may be that many OF them
have studied In Offices where only special branch
Of the profession Is carried The 'number OF
LAWYERS paying attention mainly TO one branch OF
the law mas grown larger within a few years. The
collection OF accounts is largely In the hands OF
Arms making speciality OF commercial law" and
collections and In other branches there has been
a similar movement toward separation OF par
tIcular parts OF law work Whatever may be the
reason, it Is certain that many o. the young mem;
bers OF the bar nos trained in the general
practice OF their professions.

From The Engineering News.
Undoubtedly the greatest lesson for railway man
ayers in this accident is that IL Is not safe 10

that a derailment may cause serious results as
a collision. 1t is true that II may. but universal
railroad experience shows that II very seldom does
1t is 10 be borne in mind always in considering
this question that the moral effect Of the derail-
ing switch is such that IL compels obedience 10 mo
warning OF the danger signals no rules or as
cpline that the best manager can enforce can
possibly do. The engineer knows that the normal
position OF the signals is al danger and when ne
approaches them and sees them against him nc

that the tower-operator has been little dilato!y
