THE MARK DOWN IN "A. B's."
"A Bargain Counter Business in Edu-
 catien'

"A Bargain Counter Business in Edu-
 catien''
 We are wondering where this bar gain counter business in education is going to end. There appears to be an unseernly haste to be rich in students on the part of some of the colleges. Harvard and Brown have reduced the academic course to three years, and now Columbia, perhaps melted to this radical step by some innovations intro- duced at Chicago university, is serious ly considering the advisability of con- ferring the "A B." in two years. An- other radical proposition on the part of Columbia that has not attracted so much attention in the press is a pro- ject for university extension in accord ance with which school teachers in Newark, N. J., while pursuing certain courses of lectures provided for them in that city by visiting professors from Columbia, can take the "A. B. in ab- sentia. Naturally the novel proposition to bisect the time-honored college course" and to throw the upper half away, is attracting no little adverse criticism. Other college presidents are being interviewed regarding their opin- ions of the wisdom of President Nich- olas Buffers pronouncement, and the preponderance of sentiment so far has been against the proposition. This whole subject may he looked at from two standpoints-degree- taking and man-making. The lighter end of the question is the degree end Degrees have a greater or lesser value deter mined by various circumstances, but if they are to have any value at all as registers of attainment and credentials for public reference, they should be made as uniform as practicable. An "A. B." anywhere has hitherto meant four years of hard work, and even where it is proposed to make it possible for exceptionally bright students to earn the degree in three years-as at Harvard-the work required is the same in amount as that which would normally occupy four years. But a marked down" degree, selling for only 50 cents on the dollar, will excite sus- picion in the public mind that what has been so easily secured may not be. af- ter all. so very valuable. President Harper of Chicago frankly acknowl- edges this, and proposes to grant an "A. A." degree (associate in arts) to

The Russian authorities, intending to
 make the Russian language compulsory in all government departments, invited several young Finnish functionaries to St. Petersburg to learn Russian under very advantageous conditions and with every prospect of official promotion. When the language ordinance was pub lished and these Films saw why they were desired to learn Russian they im- mediately resigned. The Russians took charge of the postal system of Finland and abolished the Finnish stamps. Thereupon the Films issued mourn

x The Stewards club, of Cleveland, representing the leading clubs and ho- tels of that city, has just completed an investigation of the character of food products sold there, with surprising re- suits. Of 175 samples of oleomargarine examined ITO were found to. contain inn purities; of 460 milk samples 132 were impure;s 27 per cent. of the mustards tested were adulterated, and 32 per cent. of the favoring extracts were doc- tored.

The United States army consumed in the last year S,574972 pounds of beef and mutton, and by the business ar- engagements of the department this was delivered at reasonable price. The Philippine supply was sent from Aus tralia, and was of the "first-class re- frigerated' kind. The beef was bought at an average of 66S cents pound, and the mutton for 5.50 cents pound. The delivery at army stations averaged two cents a pound. In drawing compari- sons between prices paid by the United States government and England, Gen. eral Weston points to the fact that a ration of beef alone, delivered to the British army in South Africa, cost more than ''our entire ration of beef, flour, fresh and dried vegetables, fruit, cof- fee, etc. delivered at Manila"

The British museum owns the largest book in the world and the smallest. The largest is an atlas of the fifteenth cen- tury. It is seven feet high. Between the generous leaves tall mans head is hidden. Its stout binding and ponder ous clasps make it seem as substantial as the walls of a room. The smallest =is a tiny "Bijou almanac" less than an inch square, bound in dainty red mo- rocco, and easily to be concealed in the finger of a ladys glove. These two ex- trenes of the printers art might well stand at the beginning and the end of the amazing thirty-seven miles of shelves filled with books, which make up part of the printed treasures of the great English library.
