It seems almost like a PROCLAMATION to
build a railroad upon the holy ground
where Moses is said to have received the
Commandments from the hand Of the AL
mighty; but before the advance of modern
progress sentiments the most reverent must
stand aside or be remorselessly pushed out
of the way. line of railway from the Red
sea to the top of Mount Sinai is at present
a real shock but few years hence prob
ably 1t will cause no more comment than
any other road anywhere else.

All the Chicago papers have advised the
street-railroad magnates not to compel
strike of their employees simply because
they are opposed to unions. Unfortunately,
the Chicago papers have no more influence

A Linguistic Training.

One OF TIE most valuable kinds Of
training which the college can give is
the linguistic. If to think is important,
linguistic training is important. For
We think in words. Therefore thinking
becomes clear, orderly, profound, as
language is adequate. Language repre-
sents those methods and results of
thought without which thought itself is
feeble and inefficient. Therefore train
ing in language is Of the highest value.
To be able to think in or adequately
use the English or any other language
one should know the language. He can
only know this language as he knows
those languages which have made the
richest contributions to its structure.
Every new science and every new ap-
plication of any old science goes to the
Greek for its very name; hence. a train
ing in Latin and Greek is Of the great
est worth. The college is not filling the
mind with useless knowledge in requir.
ing students to learn these, not dead,
but living languages.
Second, the scientific school is a pro.
fessional school. Its graduate goes from
its commencement, a. goes the graduate
Of the school of law, theology N medi-
cine, directly to his life's work. 1t is
not a school Of liberal culture or OF gen
eral training. 1t is to be said. and said
with the utmost clearness, that the gov
ernors of our best technical and scientific
schools are beginning to recognize the
advantages which the man desiring 70

THE energy and zeal displayed by

to amend the laws of the state to the
end that any provision of legislative
enactment that affords protectio on to
the press in the exercise of the priv.

mated, is one Of the most significant
signs of the times. Realizing the
influence the press has welded to-
ward its destruction in the past. and
in dread fear of such future exer-
tions as it may make to purge and
purify the atmosphere at the state
