Minister Cooper personally ap-

Degrading College Degtees.

Rocky Mountain News.
The mater of college degrees was con-
sidered by the National Teachers Asso-
citation. and a protest made against the
looseness with which such distinctions are
granted. Colleges are so numerous now
adays. and their graduates are SO many
that their degree has ceased to possess the
significance It once did The trouble
comes from a host of institutions that are
called colleges, but which do not rank
above a good high school. THESE hstl-
tutions grant the same degrees as 90 Y are
and Harvard, Williams and Amherst, ana
vet the difference in their standards OF
scholarship is as pronounced as that be-
tween a kindergarten and high school
II Is therefore fast coming to be fact
that degree means nothing, and Is no
guarantee OF scholarship or literary at
tainments. When a graduate claims 10
be a B. A. or writes LII. D. after his name
the first inquiry Is: Whit institution gave
II? II II comes from an institution Oh
we'll established reputation, the standing
Of the graduate is accepted. II II come
from an Institution which does not rank
above an academy in its educational stand
ard. the possessor of the degree has to es-
tablIsh his ability before the average col
lege man believes he is worthy of the dis
tinction conferred.
The chief complaint was made IN regard
TO professional schools, which turn out
LAWYERS. doctors and dentists by the hum
dred. to many of which are run on the
commercial princip,e-short courses, cheap
Instructors and many graduates. These
schools turn out professional men with de-
grees who have no literary or scientific
training. and who do not even know the
English language No wonder the number
of "shysters" and 'quacks" is increasing.
No wonder the public is losing respect for
men who claim TO be educated, and who
make a parade Of an illuminated diploma
and a high sounding degree, neither OF
which is a guarantee Of attainment.
New York, and we believe few other
States. have statutes bearing on this sub
iect. and compel a college to maintain GER
tain standards Of scholarship befort it can
grant degrees. With professional schools,
however. there is too much looseness in
all States. 1t would be well If our nation
al educators would frame a uniform stat
ute regarding the evil complained of and
secure its enactment by the various State
legislatures,

yesterday afternoon, and after iuli
of some hours, resumed about eleven
o'clock at night. In the afternoon q
man named Alex. Allen was struck
by lightning, but the shock was not
fatal. and speedy medical attention has
placed him in a fair way towards re-
covery. The telephone service was dis
organized, and an electrician looking
after the lighting OF the town was

night was terrific. The wharfboat was
severely handled and the bank OF the
river I'm the vicinity strewn with
wreckage. A fifty foot chimney stack
at the furniture factory was demoi-

sented the appearance OF having been
moved down, so many OF the trees
being either uprooted or bereft OF their
limbs and foliage In the upper part
of town hailstones fell which were as
large as marbles. Considerable dam
age was done 10 the crops and gar
