NATIONAL SCHOOLS,

Inc nuilding Of Endowed Universities
Must Be Checked.
Inc London Chronicle, referring to
the forced resignation of President An
drews OF Brown University, says:
Ihere is no doubt that, like Prot.
nemis' who was dismissed from the
University of Chicago, President An
orews was dismissed because he
warned his countrymen against the
great monopolies. 1t seems certain
tnat a conflict is approaching that will
SNAKE the Union as it was shaken by
the great slavery question. 1t looks
as though the splendid millionaire en-
uoWments OF American universities had
the unworthy motive of the promotion
ol the interests of the monopolies. We
anticipate great wave of opinion
against the pretension of the mo-
nopolist class as dangerous to free
dom. This movement will lead to the
substitution of public for private con-
trol and ownership of the big trusts
and monopolies and the substitution of
state for private colleges and universi-
ties"
Inc foregoing is In line with most
rapid change in public opinion.
Last January DR.. David Starr Jor-
dan, although president of Stanford
university, an endowed institution,
came out squarely against endowed
universities. In an article in the Fo-
rum entitled "The Urgent Need of a
National University" he said: "The
great revival Of learning in the United
states, which has shown itself in the
growth OF universities, in the rise of
the spirit of investigation, and in the
realization OF the value of truth. can
oe traced in large degree to Germanic
lnnuences. These influences have
not come to us through German immi-
grafton, or the presence of German
scnoiars among us, hut through the
experience of American scholars in
Germany. If 1t be true, as Mr.. James
Bryce says, that of all institutions in
America the universities have the
pest promise for the future we have
iermany to thank for this. It is.
however, no abstract Germany that we
nay thank. but concrete fact. It is
he existence in Germany Of universi-
les, strong. effective, AND FREE, and
most notable among these is the
'oungest of their number, the uniyer-
ity of Berlin.

No Hope from the Present Conrre.

No Hope from the Present Congress.
1t is announced that the American
Federation of Labor officials have
given up hope Of getting legislation
from the present congress. They would
be much more in the way Of progress
If they would give up once for all the
practice of bowling and begging for
class privilege in the same breath. No
one Is entitled to rights or privileges
because he is workingman: but all
are entitled to right and justice because
they are men and citizens. Petitioning
for anything in the name of working
men savors too much of fake" busi-
ness-which, indeed, it usually is. Not
because they are workingmen but he
cause they are men. Let them stand
up erect, scorning special considera-
tion on account of vocation. A man ia
man before he is a blacksmith: and
when he ceases to be blacksmith
even though he become Rockefeller
or Hanna, he is still only a man

German gymnasium or preparator,
school. The worst Of them would II
germany be closed by the police
But IN certain number of the strong,
est and FREEST the genuine uniyer-
slty spirit is found in the highest de-
gree. For more Of these good ones
there is crying demand"
But as a working principle AS WELL
ASK WEALTHY MANUFACTURERS
oh WEALTHY CHURCHES to endow
and support our Supreme Court of law
as to endow and support our supreme

Will not do it; and, AS FREE MEN,
WE WOULD NOT HAVE THEM DO

Whatever institutions the people
need, the people must create
and control. That this can be-
done wisely is no matter of
theory. With all their mistakes and
crudities, the state universities of this
country constitute the most hopeful
future IN our whole educational sys-
TEN. In the long run few institutions
are less subject to partisan influence
than a state university. There
is no instrument of POLITICAL. So
CIAL OR ADMINISTRATIVE RE-
FORM to be compared with the intlu-
ence OF national university.
The foregoing. coming from one Of
the most profound scholars Of the
United States, is entitled to the most
serious consideration of each indiyidu-
al who is anxious to protect the repub.
Tic from the encroachments of concen-
trated wealth and the attendant evils
Still another remedy for the lack ol
freedom of teaching in our universities
Is pointed out by Mr.. George H Shin
ley in the Money Question" pub
llshed last year. He states the fact
That In many of our universities tho
trustees employ in the monetary de-
partments only such teachers as mt
1orth the ideas which suit these trus-
tees, whereas 'in the universities q,
our mother country and in the rest Of
Europe, TEACHING HAS BEEN AND
IS OPEN TO COMPETITION, and
therefore, the individuals who have
held them have done so by fear]ess]v
following truth wherever it led. In
the United States, however. there is |
new order Of things. INSTEAD OF |
COMPETITION IN OUR UNIvERsI. |
TIES, THERE IS A MONOPOLY. The
professors and all the other teachers
are appointed by the trustees and
ONLY THOSE APPOINTED ARE
PERMITTED TO TEACH THE STU
DENTS. This is deplorable state
of affairs. But as it exists it should
and must be known to the people"
The remedy he suggests is: LET tho
state enact a law conditioning the
franchises of endowed universities m
IN their adopting the European system
II competition in teaching, l. e. tho
eachers selected by the trustees IN
meet the direct competition of other
competent scholars, e. g., those who
AVE attained the degree of doctor ~
'nllosophy. Through permitting these
cholars to register for classes and 70.
,eive the usual fee per scholar and
ne scholar credited with the work thus
aiken, freedom in teaching the truth
ne facts OF history and the truths of
lature-will be at once attained nj
ner secure freedom of competition in
in the endowed universities
+ permit nothing but state and ma
onal universities to exist"
