The Chnaman will have his opium. and
Governor Taft. OF the Philippines. has Sc
cured the passage OF law prohibiting the
selling OF that drug TO Filipino. but per-
hitting adult Cinnamon TO buy ii. The stin
tariff placed on the drug Is TO be expended
for the education OF native teachers for the
schools In the archipelago. This legislation
Is unique. but Is probably the best that can
be devised at present All attempts TO pre-
vent the use of opium by Chinese residents
OF other countries have failed. for the
Chinaman shines pre-eminent among the
peoples of the earth as a smuggler. So the
Philippine government will not undertake
the impossible. but will make the opium
smoking vice pay its toll TO promote the
cause or education.

In the address delivered by Superintendent
John W. Carr, of Anderson, on the occasion
OF the recent installation of Earlham's
president, one point of especial significance
was made. Mr.. Carr said:
The high school looks TO the college also
for its ideals. II the college hero is the
center rush on the football team, II the col
lege journal is filed with athletics, with
accounts of bets on the side. IL college spirit
manifeSts itself with Haunting coiorS ana
cat calls and boisterous yells, II college
victories celebrated by giving night
shirt parades through the campus and
streets OF the city, If college discipline is
set at naught and the college students en-
gage in all sorts OF horseplay, even TO down.
right lawessness-if these things come to
high school pupils as college ideals and be
accepted by them as high school ideals, then
the glory of the high school will soon de-
part The reason that high school disci-
pline is more difficult than the discipline In
any other department OF the public schoois
is due largely to certain ideals and certain
practices in our colleges.
This is all undoubtedly true. A great
deal is heard about the need Of bringing
the schools up to the college standpoint and
of the failure Of high schools to meet adj
vanced educational requirements, while
little or nothing is said concerning the in
fiuence of colleges on the schools. Yet 1t Is
plain enough, as Mr.. Carr points out, that
this influence is strong. II it is not all for
good as he also intimates, then 1t stands
the colleges in hand to mend their ways be-
fore indulging in criticism Of school defects.
