Mr.. Charles G.. Dawes happens to
be a different kind of comptroller of
the currency than was Mr.. James II.
Eckels. Hence the affairs of Singerly's
bankrupt bank and trust companies
must be promptly put in satisfactory
shape or a receiver will be appointed
If Comptroller Eckels had taken hold
of the Philadelphia muddle a year
ago with the vigor and clear-headed-
ness which Comptroller Dawes displays,
the list of unfortunate depositors at
the time of the failure would have been
much shorter says the Mail and Elk
press. But didn't Mr.. Eckels, the in
fallible financial authority say that
it would not have done to put Mr.
Singerly's bank into the hands of a
receiver because it was election time?
1t might have hurt that noblest of
causes, sound money" had the truth
been told about Mr.. Singerly's bank
when he himself was fighting so gal
lantly for that same kind of money
when his bank was rotten from cellar
to garnet.

Chockful of Fun.

A clerical friend of mine, says Chauncey
NJ. DeDew. told me a capital story of a
Yale man who was the stroke oar of his
crew and the chief athlete on the foot
ball field. He entered the missionary field
and spent years in missionary labor in the
far west. Walking one day through the
frontier town, a cowboy stepped up to
him and said: "ParsOn, you don't have
enough fun. Take drink" The minis
ter declined. We'll" he said. ''parsOn,
you must have some fun. Here's a faro
layout. Take hand in the game" The
minister declined. "Parson," said the
cowboy. you'll die if you don't have
some fun" And he knocked the parson' s
hat off his head and hit him a whack
on the ear.
The old athletes spirit arose: the
science which had been learned in the
college gymnasium and forgotten for
quarter of century was aroused. and a
blow landed on the jaw of that cowboy
that sent him sprawling in the street.
The parson walked over him as if he had
been a dOor-rug. picked him up and
busted the side of the house with him,
mopped I'D the sidewalk and. as the
ambulance was carrying the cowboy off,
he raised his head feebly and said: Par
son. what did YOU fool me for? You are
chockful of fun"

SELLING TEACHERS EXAMINA-
TON PAPERS.

Some time ago a great protest went
up in New York City because a number
of principals for schools had been en-
gagged from outside states. 1t was de-
nounced as an outrage and an imputa-
ton upon New York. little while
after that the teachers of New York
City threatened to go on strike because
it was proposed that teachers desiring
promotion should submit to an examin-
alton. This also was denounced as an
outrage and an imputation upon them;
they thought it a fine thing that with
their long experience they were not
fitted to be promoted to any grade
Their attitude made it look as though
they really were afraid OF an examina-
ton, and it is more than probable that
they were, in the light of recent devel-
opments.
1t has recently come to light that
there has been a regular traffic in
teachers examination papers in New
York. These papers are always sup
posed to be sacredly kept until handed
out by the proper authorities on the
day of examination, but it seems that
for a consideration applicants for posi-
lions as teachers have been able to get
them several days in advance. The re-
suit was an examination well passed
when the person passing in may have
been perfectly Incompetent; in fact,
person who would purchase examina-
ton papers would thereby prove his in
competency.
This discovery regarding the sale of
examination papers only goes to show
how thoroughly permeated with cor
ruption New York Officialdom is. What
a terrible thing it is to contemplate
trusting the education of the young to
those who are intellectually dishonest
The fraud in the granting of teachers
is one of the worst discov-
cries yet made in a state notorious for
fraud
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-01-31

institutions in question owe their ex-
istence to land grants made by the ma
uonal government for the express pur-
pose of establishing agricultural col
leges." The purpose of such grants
was to ennobie agriculture, to lift its
pursuit 20 the level of any of the So
called arts and sciences. Yet the spirit
OF medieval classicism seems to have
been so strong among the professors"
appointed on the agricultural founda-
tions that they have been steadily
perverting the institutions placed in
their charge to make them conform to
the ancient models wherein agricul-
tural and mechanical pursuits and stu
dies Were held in contempt and as
signed an inferior position, if recog-
nized a. all, in comparison with law,
medicine, divinity and mathematics.
This business is one which can fairly
be looked into by the friends of agri-
culture in congress. The perversion of
such trusts can have no other than
a baneful effect. 1t is in direct contra
vention of the true spirit of democracy,
which exalts any calling in proportion
to its usefulness TO mankind.
There is no question that the agri-
cultural colleges have been more or
less of a disappointment so far as ex-
alting the science and pursuit of agri-
culture is concerned. They do not turn
out agriculturists and their graduates
are not filed with an ambition to en-
gage in agricultural pursuits. \ stu
dent should no more go to an agricul-
tural college for general culture than
to a technical school of any other kind.
A very serious trouble with the agri-
cultural colleges of the country is that
they are much inclined to assimilate
their various courses to those given in
the regular colleges and universities,
that they may have it said of them
that they offer all the advantages Of
a college education"
The original design in establishing
agricultural colleges was to foster the
scientific study of agriculture, that
they should be technical schools; the
design has not been accomplished. One
should go to an agricultural college
as one goes to a law or medical col
lege or a school of mines-to fit him
self for pursuing definite profession.

sKIENKIEWICz CRITICISES UNI
Gle SAM.

The author of "Quo vadis." that
novel whose popularity in the United
States has only been exceeded by that
of "Trilby," has been in the United
States taking notes. And now he has
published, in a Russian journal, his
impressions of the American people;
and they are bad. He got his first i'm
pressions in the custom house. He
found the officials there, so he says,
ruffians: being ruffians, it is not at all
surprising that he should also find them
corrupt. But what angered him most
was that when the customs officials
asked his name and that of his COM
panion, and they told them, the officials
made remarks about the names and
laughed at them. And then his COM
panion denounced, in French, Ameri-
cans generally, and some American
passengers understood what was said
and told their fellow countrymen they
should not be so rude.
Skienkiewicz became fully convinced
that there could nothing good come out
of America. He found. nothing to suit
him He says that person so densely
ignorant as a European peasant could
scarcely be found in the United States,
but thinks American education super
fetal; knowledge is more generally

AeRIcULTuRAL COLLEGES.

The St. Paul Pioneer Press makes
these very sensible comments on agri-
cultural colleges:
According to sundry statements in
the New England papers, cited by the
Boston Journal, there are some arts
tocratically inclined persons connected
with the various state agricultural
colleges in that quarter who are
ashamed of farming" and who want
the word agricultural dropped from
the names of the institutions. Further
more, these personages seem so to
have manipulated the schools intended
for the benefit of the farming interests
that the agricultural courses are being
gradually put aside and they are turn
ing out more professional men than
farmers. The agricultural college of
Maine has had its name changed TO
THE University of Maine" and is
about adding a law department to its
facilities. Other institutions are seek
ing TO have like changes made
Now, if we are not mistaken, all the

Who 'Enrv Was.

Southey's Sefnition of fame as being
killed in battle, and having your name
spelled wrong in the newspapers. finds a
kind of synonym in this story from the
Bangor CMe) Commercial: Il. Hall Nc
Cormick, a wealthy Chicagoan and "a
Bar Harborite. and an earnest searcher
after art treasures. relates the following
anecdote which came under his personal
experience while straying through a Lon
don art gallery on his recent tour abroad
While gazing at large oil painting of
Henry Clay. passing employee of the
gallery stopped, and Mr.. Mccormick in
order to start a conversation, said quiz
zically: can you tell me, sir, whom does
this picture representa-
The attendant, realizing that his queS-
toner was an American. replied in a
rather pedantic manner: ''Why. sir. do
l understand you to mean that you don't
know who that ere is? Why, sir, that's
'Enry Clay sir"
Henry Clay" repeated Mr.. McCor-
mick, with merry twinkle in his eye,
why. l never heard of him. Who is he,
pray?"
why, sir calculated the plying
Briton. and you don't know Enry Clay,
nd you an American. sir. Why. Enry
Clay's the man what makes the cigars,
sir" and with a cont amptuous frown the
attendant went about his business.

1t seems that Representative King
is about to introduce a bill in the
house to grant Hon. George @. Cannon
pay as delegate for the balance of the
term for which he was elected when
he was unseated on the contest made
by Hon. Allen G. Campbell. If We re-
member right, Hon. John T. Caine,
who succeeded Mr.. Cannon, was also
elected to fill the unexpired term and
drew pay for it. This being the case,
Mr. Cannon would have no claim what
ever for the salary. If Mr.. Cannon
was properly unseated he has no claim
whatever Tor salary for the remainder
of the term for which he was elected.

not so much learning. Like so many
other Europeans, he does not like the
cooking in this country. He also com
plains that everybody eats too fast.
What he has TO say is less in the nature
of criticism than of faultfinding, the
common, hackneyed faultfinding to
which so many European visitors are
given.
that is his privilege, but he has written
some tip-top novels, and we like them;
and if he will only devote himself to
writing more like Quo vadis," he will

The Paris exposition has allowed the
United States 100000 square feet Of
space, Of which New York has applied
for 125,OOO feet and Chicago for Isl. 900
feet. This shows that these two cities
consider themselves bigger than all the
rest of,the United States.
