The National University,
m the Philadelphia Times.


Some time ago the National Council of
Educatlon appointed committee to con-
slider the question Of national university
The committee has just made public its
report, which is rather hostile to the prop
oslt1on From some points Of view this
result seems unfortunate, when 1t is con-
s1dered that the proposal is OF such long
standing, going back, indeed, to the lifetime
OF Washington. who made a bequest in IA
Vor OF such a university. While the ma
tlonal capital is not without some educa-
tional institutions 1t lacks any of first
rank. There are valuable archives and COL
lections there, especially in the Congress
sional Library, and 1t would seem as If
these might form the basis Of great post
graduate school.
1t is understood, o: course. that the COM
mittee was not entirely unbiased The
members were nearly all officers of existing
institutions Of learning which might not be
much benefited by such rivalry as would
come from a national university. Neverthe-
less the force Of any disappointment at the
result is broken by a warm Endorsement Of
the Washington Memorial Institution re-
Gently established as monument to the
Father Of His Country at the federal cap
ital.
Washington possesses not only valuable
libraries, but also government museums
and scientific bureaus access to which stu
dents will find to be Of great advantage
and worth. Whether the memorial insti-
tuition be a university or not, it promises
to serve the purposes Of such, and that is
in the way OF making the best use Of the
collections at Washington, to the end that
the cause of science and literature may he
practically advanced

observe the sufferings Of the hundreds of
wretched creatures which were overworked

men and beasts alike must UNDERGO when

Chinese Railways.

War has its compensations and It's ad-

amount Of good by teaching the rude and
semi -barbarous western nations of Europe
the refinement and manners of the east.
