the penalty provided for neglecting TO do so
is a fine of from 81 10 sla for each hour the
snow is allowed to remsini This is a pretty
stit punishment. and hOusoholders generally
comply with the requirement without much

An examination OF the ordinances. however,
fails 10 disclose any such provision. On the
contrary, they would indicate that il was the
intention to have tho chief n member us well

When the police find such an obstreperous
individual they keep pretty close watch on
his particular sidewalk, and IL, after the lapse
OF n reasonable time, it is not cleared, he re-
ceives n formal invitation TO call at the Dis
trict Court In the morning and arbitrate with
the presiding genius OF that dispensary Of
justice. One experience Of this sort is enough
for the most cross grained individual, and as
a rule the police have no more trouble with
establishment of an entente cordiale between
himself and the department IL thereafter not

many citizens. however, that in prosecutions

An abutting owner who obstructs a sidewalk
with his goods can be prosecuted and pun

these citizens claim that,a as they have no right

more than is enjoyed by the general public,
tho city has no more valid authority to order
them to clear it of snow than it would have
TO order them to go into the roadway and

RELATION, OF SCHOOL To COLLEGE.

TIE r~ceur conference between press-
dents Of colleges has given Official sane
tsor, Il, a complaint which has frequently
found fugitive expression In lay circles.
Nearly al Of those authorities have ar
rived al the conclusion that there is a
serious want OF symmetry in cur et1ca-
tsonal system. There - too much over
tapping. and the raising Of tie standard Of
examination for entrance into universities
has not been followed By graduation Of
studies in the secondary schools.
The consequence h2s been a want OF
uniformity In preparatory courses. ioss Of
time to the students and serious dslay in
the period when the coIlegian can enter
upon an active professional career. The
average age a. which a young man enters
the universities IL now IS years ard
months. Less than fifty years ago he was
almost ready TO graduate at THAI age John
Adams graduated from Harvard with the
degree Of bachelor OF arts az the age Of is;
his son. John Quincy Adams. before he
vas q, and his grandson. Charles Francis
Adams, had rounded out his collegiate ca
rear before he was s. Ex-Pressdent Har-
rlson graduated before he was 10. These
men dA not intend devoting themselves
TO esiucati work; but the case is made
stronger by the fact that the present pres
dents OF Harvard. Yale. Johns Hopkins
and Princeton. al OF whom were DESTROYS
Of filing out to the full their educational
training. al graduated before they were
2 years OF age.
There Is some Justification for the public
hsh schools becoming something more
than preparatory ground for the col
leges. because the great majority OF the
pupils do not intend TO take the collegiate
course. and their education should DE less
detailed and more general than IN the case
of those who intend 20 go deeper beneath
the surface.
The want OF harmony e. IL no less per-
cepuble. more Objectionable in the case
OF private schools avowedly Intended as
preparatory only. and It is In the interest
Of the pupils as much as IN the interest OF
parents that no time should be wasted in
overlapping Even IN the public schools
il would not be d.ficula TO make a dlstinc-
ton in the final studies between those stu
dents who intend closing Their scholastic
careers Ia the schools and those who in
tend TO take advantage OF more ad-
vsnced education.
