The Shorter College Course.

The University of Chicago has
undertaken an important innovation
in adding two years to the courses
of its affiliated preparatory schools
and deducting them from the col
lege course
Strong arguments are adduced
by those who favor this change III
other universities. 1t would enable
those who are unable to attend the
expensive colleges to get at their
high schools The equivalent OF fresh
men and sophomore work, and ii
would bring the break between the
school and college where il properly
belongs-at the point where pre-
scribed courses yield TO the Tree
electives OF the more mature stu
dent.
The analogy of the German GYM
nasia, which yield their graduates
TO the universities at stage CORE
spending to the end OF the sopho-
more year in this country, is potent
with those who admire German
tisoroughness in educational mat
tiers.
Conservatives may rail at the
suggestion, but plans Tor shortening
the American college course are GER

ibility. In many progressive col

control. That the San ANTOINE
and Arkansas Pass would make an
ideal connection between the Frisco
and the Mexican Central is gen
orally admitted, and it IS known to
be fact that the Frisco proposes
to build into Mexico.
Whatever the real situation may
be. there is no reason for doubt but
that Mr.. Yoakum and his interests
greatly desire absolute control OF
the San Antonio and Arkansas Pass,
if for no other reason than to avoid
building parallel line. The tao
tics pursued by the St. Louis,
Brownsville and Mexico, through
which the Frisco is working, in
dictate that if the Sap can not be
purchased another line will be cor.
structed. 1t is the consensus OF
opinion, however, that the line OF
the St. Louis, Brownsville and
Mexico between Robstown and
| Brownsville will be the only con-
struction of the Frisco in its fight
to control the Southwest Texas
situation and obtain satisfactory
entrance into Mexico, as the San
Antonio and Arkansas Pass Will soon
pass to the control of Mr.. Yoakum
and his associates.
After this has occurred the situa-
ton will be full of interest, especial

COMBINE
Rumor that the Two Will Be

Roads Would Be Parallel and Conflicting.
Yoakum to Control Southwest Texas
Railroad Situation.

1t is generally admitted that the
interests represented by B. F. Yoa-
KUN are seeking absolute control
of the San Antonio and Arkansas
Pass, and there is a growing be-
lief that this road will soon pass to
the Frisco.
The recent visit of Colonel Yoa-
kun to Houston, and subsequent
DEVELOPMENTS, has lent stronger
foundation than ever to the belief,
and future developments are ex-
pectantly awaited.
When it is taken into consider
alton that the St. Louis, Browns
vile Mexico will be, when COM
pleted, parallel line to the San
Antonio and Arkansas Pass, the
question arises as to why two lines
should be built through such a
comparatively small territory. The
two roads will be parallel from
Houston to Sinton, from Sinton to
San Antonio and from Sinton to
Brownsville. 1t is also proposed
to build the ST. Louis, Brownsville
and Mexico to Corpus Christi.
thus living alongside the San An
tonic and Arkansas Pass from end

iinjure the Sap, as we'll as detract
largely from the desirability of the

as an investment.
The building to Brownsville at
such a rapid rate to forestall the
I San Antonio and Arkansas Pass,
and the absorption of the Rice Belt
for a single line to Houston paral-
Icing the Sap, is construed as a
bluff bv representatives of the San
Antonio and Arkansas Pass to com

lust why the Frisco should seek to
wrest the Sap from the Mexican
Central is not known, as the IN
terests of the Frisco and the MeXl-
can Central are largely identical.
| At any rate, it is admitted that the
Frisco seeks absolute control of the
Arkansas Pass, and it is predicted
that this will come to pass within
| few months.
1t is hazarded that the move

to q somewhat embarrassing incident
one afternoon in executive session.
Senator Lodge tried to bring up mat

not relate to the Cuban situation. Sen
ator German promptly objected. He
said 1t was contrary to the agreement

such agreement which would put it out
OF their power to do business Of any
kind. But German was insistent And
when they pressed him for an. explana-

drich had promised him that If the DEM
ocrats would consent to the vote on the
10th OF December, nothing whatever
would be done in the meantime during
the extraordinary session except to dis
cuss Cuban reciprocity. Aldrich had
left the city without telling anybody on
his own side of the chamber about what
he had done, but they accepted Cor
mans statement, and that was the end
of it.

ocrats will do, they feel morally bound
to do it.
That is what Uncle Joe Cannon calls
legislation by unanimous consent, and,
of course, it is very reprehensible way
of doing business. But it is likely to
continue just as long as the present
senate rules live, which, according to
present appearances, will be to the end
of time.
German and Aldrich are very much
the same type of men. They are first
of all business men. They understand
the currents of trade and appreciate the
effect of legislation on commercial in
terests. They are organizers and dett
handlers of men. They can read char
acter and they can keep their own coun-
sci. They understand weaknesses in
others to which they can appeal: They
are always in the game.
German is more of public speaker
than Aldrich. He is not an orator in any
way, but he has faculty of aggressive
ness in debate*which Aldrich has never
shown. Aldrich when he talks uses
a conversational tone, and goes about
it as If he were explaining something
before the board of directors of rail-
road. German is never exactly CONVEX
sational. There is always some little
touch of mystery in everything he says,
and his face is jesuitical in it's inscruta-
bility. Aldrich, on the other hand, is
seemingly the most frank and confiding
of men. One wonders how it can be
that this smiling, easy-going, compan-
ionable fellow can have so many tricks
up his sleeve.
