other In Washington City as branch OF

of similar school by the University OF
Michigan has been recommended to the
board OF regents of that Institution by It's
president, DIR. Angel, and undoubtedly
the recommendation will be adopted.
Other Of our great educational institu-
tions may beexpected to follow these ex-
amples, 80 that In few years schools OF

Special education In the requirements
for diplomatic service has been lacking
in this country and until now has never
been seriously thought OF. That it is
wise to give some attention to it has been
urged by such men as MIR. Brycs of Eng

magazine some time since. discussed the
subject very Thoroughly and pointed out

Judging from the way bills are being
introduced in the legislature every
member thereof must have gone TO
jackson with a pocket full. 1t is not
in the number of laws passed that the
people are to be benefited, but in the
kind that are passed, and also a few
repealed that are now on the statutes.
If they will pass a few wholesome laws
"a very few-and repeal several, and
then adjourn and go home the people
would be better satisfied with their
work.
