herculean effort to climb the oak tree

ports for that tree were always con-
spicuous by their absence. On the

fixed on the tree. The morning came.

Such an ejaculation, spoken more in
sorrow than in anger, would. he hoped,
appeal to that last remnant of con-
science which even the papier mache
bosom of a property man might be sup
posed to retain. In the evening there
was a dress rehearsal, but still no pegs
could be seen. Mr.. Trees form quiv-
ered-beneath the padding with pent
up emotions, and in a torrent of pas
sion and a voice shaken by righteous
wrath he exclaimed
"Where are those pegs?"

SUMMER COURSE IN LAW.
Extra Facilities Afforded by a Local
University.

University.
The inauguration Of the series Of summer
law courses, to be given under the direc-
ton of the National University, took place
in the main lecture hall of the university,
S1S and $40 18th street northwest, at Z
o'clock last evening. There was a large
attendance, and opening address was
delivered by Prof. Eugene Carusi. dean of
the National law faculty, who fully eX-
planned the aim of the summer work in
contemplation. He said that the proposed
step was but an initial effort in the di
rection of supplemening the facilities Of
fered by the usual three years winter
course. Prof. Carusi added:
This can only be done effectively by
utilizing the summer months both for the
purpose of reviewing and charging upon
the ordinary work of the winter school, as
well as for the exploitation of new fields of
legal research and study not generally COW
cred by other institutions.
THE summer law school idea which
seems to be gaining such ground through
out the country generally is with us less
an experiment than a necessity. 1t is
necessity growing out of the peculiar edu-
cationaI conditions in this District. If
Washington city is to become the center
of advanced scientific and professional edu-
cation hoped for by the advocates of the
movement for a great national university
or of the Washington Memorial Institute,
the recent outgrowth of this movement,
for study. must be taken into considera-
ton.
washington can only compete on equal
terms with the heavily endowed institu-
tons of the states by relying upon the fact
that the federal government offers In
Washington opportunities for the really
ambitious to acquire during the day the
means to prosecute in the evening hours
the studies upon which they expect to base
their professional life work This reStric-
ton to the hours of the evening makes it,
however, a matter of no little difficulty to
cover in an adequate and thorough way
the whole field of work covered by the law
departments of the great universities of
the north and west. The summer law
courses effect the desired expansion by
utilizing the summer months in number
equaling nearly one-third of each year, and
which are usually wasted"
Prof Carusi stated that the summer
work was designed among other things, to
assist all the junior students of the winter
courses, whose first years work had been
unsatisfactory.
