A Chicago high school principal has
swept Shakespeare off the board. He
says the author of "Hamlet' was a
cheap punster, whose jokes were often
shady, whose wit is weak, whose lam
guage is behind the times, whose
spelling, morals and grammar are all
bac, and whose standards are not
high enough for present-day students
to follow. He knows modern writers
whose looks make far better reading
for youthful minds than the works OF
the old writers. He would, for in
stance, like to see that beautiful
story, "Alice of Old Vincennes, In.

school principal, no doubt he will see
that the book is introduced into the
schools under his authority, and the

An important Decision.

A decision was rendered lately by
the United States supreme court con-
firming the title of Indiana to large
amount of land formerly known as
swamp lands or covered by lakes.
The decision was rendered in the Cal
umet canal case, Involving the title
to a large tract Of land around Wolf
lake, which is partly within the state
Of Indiana and partly within Illinois
and the city limits of Chicago. In
1850 congress passed an act granting
to the several states 1.-THE whole of the
swamp and overfiowed lands, made un-
fit thereby for cultivation and remain
ing unsold on or after the 2Sth day OF
September, $780," The Indianapolis
Journal says: Indiana was one of the
fifteen states which benefited by the
act. Agents of the several states Sc
lected such lands as were unfit for cul-
tivation, and the title to the same
was confirmed In the states by an act
approved March 3, 1857. The deCis.
Ion rendered does not add anything t.
the orsginal grant of lands to the
state. but it confirms the state 8 title
to all swamp lands that have been re.
claimed and to all that may hereafter
be reclaimed.

The outlook at present is good for
fairly cheap coal next winter, for
manufacturing and domestic purposes.
There is no labor trouble of conse-
quence In sight, the wage schedules
and contracts for the ensuing year ale
settled in both the bituminous and
the anthracite fields, and both are
being worked to their full capacity.
The output Of bituminous coal in
creased from 224, 44e, 527 tons in 1901
to 254, 7s8, 804 tons in 1902 and is en-
pected to show a large increase for
1908. The production OF anthracite
coal fell aft considerably in 1902, but
will be more than doubled this year

fore, is good for plenty of coal next
winter at reasonable prices.

Worth Thinking About.

The president of North Dakota
University startled the convention OF
college presidents at Chicago on Fri.
day by promulgating some original
views. He was advocating shorter
courses and more elective studies with
a view of giving students more prac.
tical education than they now receive.
When he was told that his scheme
marred the idea of a liberal education
he replied: ''To speak frankly, can I
say, after twenty-five years of teach.
ing, just what a liberal education is.
When | went to college the study OF
biology was unknown. l DON. t know
a thing about biology, but / teach

Now, am literally educated without
biology, or is he literally educated
without Greek?'' His conclusion was
that all man gets out of a college
course is certain amount of intel
lebtual power which comes under the
head of general culture. Again, when
he was told that he made the amount
of work which dullard is capable OF
the basis of his system, the North Da-
kota man said he had come to the
conclusion that there is no such thing

selves" The moral seems to be that
college presidents and professors
should discard the traditions of peda
gogy and study actual conditions and
human nature as il is.

no doubt find way of poisoning the
