THATUN UNIVERSITY.

The university that The News reported
that President Andrews of Brown is
uallod upon To preside over Is unique in
its way although 1t appears to be but an
elaboration OF the university extension
scheme combined with the so-called "oor-
respondence school.
The idea OF editor and proprietor John
Brisben Walker of the Cosmopolitan
Magazine is to furnish the higher educa
tion to tho masses of people who can
afford neither time nor money TO attend
college but have some hours of the
former In every week TO devote TO improv-
ing themselves. In limited way The
News offers similar opportunity through
Its Educational Feature.
The university Is 10 be conducted on the
correspondence and advisory plan. All
through the country are hundreds Of men
and women who desire "A higher and
mere advanced education in some par
ticular line. 10 give such persons the
benefit Of we'll advised course of study,
TO save them waste OF time and spare
them misdirected reading. TO aid
In getting at an understanding of the
knotfy points-in fact, TO give all the
assistance that competent guidance can
offer TO any student is what MIR.
Walker proposes for the university.
Abe only great difference between this
university and the Others Is that, while in
the later the students assemble in class
rooms and SEQ and hear their professor.
in the former they will read what he has
to say to them and his answers TO ques-
tions
The protector OF the scheme told New
York Herald reporter the other day that
he knew Of no educator in the land better
qualified TO carry out tho work he had
planned than DIR. Andrews We do not
understand that the duties will require
oil OF the presidents time any more than
the studies will demapd all Of the
stadent's time. And 1t seems to US that
DIR. Andrews is indeed peculiarly quail
fed to reach out and secure tho loyalty
and labor Of just srch q class Of am bitious
young people as the Cosmopolitan Uni.

THE COMMERcIAL BRITISH EN-
DIRE.

The commercial question that Is agitat-
ing Europe is that relating TO the talk Of
Great Britain establishing trade empire
with her colonies tn the exclusion of other
nations. That something OF this purpose
Is I'm the view of the British government
seems to be indicated 10y tho recent notice
to Germany and Belgium that the
commercial facilities with those two coun-
tries arc to he declared "off. -

such tariff action as shall d scrimna,e In
favor OF the mother country and that
others of the colonies shall follow suit
At present the volume Of trade between
England and Germany is -sslmost threo
times that between the mother country
and Canada.
Carried out this means commercial

OF the trolley were not advertised, as are the
ATTRACTIONS offered by the routes of the bay

hand, the trolley IS chiefly business conven'

there need be no fault found on either
side. The man must fit the place and

number Of students who have come To tho
university in the last few years, his
power as party leader in drawing men
