onpo,e shor, COLLEGE Course.

Considerable criticism has greeted
a proposal made by President Butler
Of Columbia university that the course
for the degree Of II. a. shall be short
cned from four to two years and that
the four-year course shall lead TO a
masters degree. one critic expresses
himself thus: "it is a proposal which!
" adopted. would lead to far-rcaching
snd perhaps dangerous changes in our
educational standards. 1t certainly
cannot be claimed that the change
would result in an elevation of the
Laccaiauraatc standard: It would. or
so It seems to one outside the domain
OF pedagogy. almost surely result in
lowering a standard which is already
so low as to mean almost nothing"

UNPARALLELED Fortitude Exhibited by

Unparalleled Fortitude Exhibited by
German Forester.
Fritz Werner was German forest
or. One day stag gored him fright.
fully in the abdomen.
As the infuriated animal pulled
out his antlers. backed away and pre-.
pared for second charge. the injur-
ed man propped himself on an elbow
and fred Just as the stag was closing
in on him, The animal fell dead and
the man tainted away.
When he recovered consciousness
he found that he could not attract at
tention by shouting. He realized that
ho was out OF the beaten paths and
that unless he dragged himself to a
frequented place he would surely die.
So he began dragging himself through
the forest in the direction OF his en-
I!oyer's house. three miles away.
He started on his journey at noon:
al 3 o'clock the next morning the oc-
cupants OF the house were aroused by
the explosion OF n gun nearby. In
yestisating they found the forester
In dead faint. and nearly dead from
loss OF blood. lying on the lawn. BY
his side was a smoking gun.
When the injured man got so that
he could speak and tell his story. his
master asked him:
But why did you drag that heavy
gun all the way?"
