TIE asylum investigation reveals the
usual brutality in vogue in those in
situations. 1t is the legitimate out,
growth of the spoils system. Men are
not chosen to those places as result of
their fitness but merely to discharge a
political obligation. Instead of being
beaten and kicked around like beasts,
these patients should receive the best
of care and treatment.

a graduate of Tien-Tsin University in
1899. carried off highest honors with
the degree of master of laws, summa
cum laude. in Yale law school, and
George Williamson Crawford, a negro
of Birmingham. Alabama, won the
highest forensic honor in the law
school. taking the Townsend prize. He
spoke this afternoon, delivering, in
competition with three others, an ora
ton on Trades Unionism and Patriot
ISM
In part he said: "In spite of the
past record and evil possibilities, the
labor organization Is Indispensable to
modern industrial life. The corpora
tion. and not the Individual, must be
a unit in our new development. We
must have new unionism. Patriot
ism means more than the declaration
of loyalty In trades unions constitu-
ton. Patriotism. anywhere In the ul-
innate analysis, is altruism-pro-
fessed and lived. The question arises
then. naturally. what is to be the ba-
sia of reorganization? Our answer Is
simple We would plant new union
ism on the basis of brotherhood, which
is only another word for democracy"

Training the Ear.

The London Spectator is of the opin
ion that teachers Of young children dc
not sufficiently appreciate the impor
lance of training the ear of the pupil
to detect the difference in sound be
tween pure and impure English. II, as
a daily exercise, a scholar who speaks
carelessly is forced to repeat phrases
over and over, first correctly and then
Incorrectly, for comparison, the. ear
catches the tune-if 1t may be SO
termed-Of the pure speech and learns
to mark the difference. In this way
a better speech may be acquired-Ii
not the perfect language.
