"cribbina" in College Examinations.

The recent expulsion Of five students
of Princeton University for ''cribbing''
IN examinations. has been the occasion
Of considerable newspaper discussion.
The honor system is in force at Prince
ton. The faculty has no espionage
upon the students. each Of whom gives
d pledge that he has neither impaired
or received assistance on the ex
animation whose results he submits to
the faculty. This system was estab-
lished at Princeton twelve years ago.
and the records show that with the
single exception Of one man in 1894, it
has never been violated up to the pre-
sent year. A Princeton man, it is said.
would no more think Of 'cribbinG'
during an examination than he would
think Of stealing his room-mates
watch.
This is as it should be. The great
force for manhood and integrity of
character in our colleges and universe
ties has been in the past, and will con-
tinue to be in the future. the sentiment
Of the student community. There
should be no need in an American COL
lege for the formal establishment Of the
honor system. for every man who en-
tiers into the privileges of such an insti-
tuition should feel in duty bound to be
not only loyal to its rules, but above
and beyond this obligation, to be true
to himself. 1t is undoubtedly a fact
that "cribbing." or cheating at ex-
aminations, is not as prevalent today
in our colleges and universities as it
has been in years past. Whatever
pessimists may claim, or cynics assert.
the fact remains that the moral stand
ard i'll our colleges and higher insti-
tutions OF learning is vastly superior
today to what it was a decade or two
decades ago. and We believe that it is
still advancing.
Unquestionably much of the
"cribbing" i'll the Old days was due to
the rigid character of the curriculum
which forced students, in order to OBJ.
tain their degrees. to pursue studio;
for which they had no taste, and which
they felt, rightly or wrongly. would
never be OF particular value to them ir
the work of life. Students are very
prone to overlook the fact that tn.
concrete information which they car
hope to acquire in their course i:
destined to play a comparatively small
Part in their after life. and that tn,
great value OF higher education lie:
chiefly in training the mental facultie:

Reflections Of q Bachelor,

The most fascinating thing about a
womans logic are all the little
curieyques in it. -..
When man is able to earn his own
living. it is satisfactory proof that he is
not a genius.
Once there was a business man who
kept a pretty typewriter for a long
time. but he wasn't married.
Something a woman can never under
stand is how man can consider a
certified check as exciting as money.
+ il voman's idea is that her husband
ought to pay the debts she runs him
into even If he has to borrow the money
to do it.-New York Press.

1t is evident that Henry Watterson Is
inclined to be a little fussy about the
next Democratic candidate for the
presidency. He long ago cast MT.
Bryan and Mr.. Cleveland upon the po-
litical junk heap. and now appears dis
posed to treat w. r. Hearst In the same
summary manner without even giving
him a chance to demonstrate the quail
ties there are in him. 1t is evident that
Brother Watterson is a somewhat Inn

illusions.

Governor Pennypacker Of Pennsyl-
vania is said to have declared that he
is sick of his position. One thing is
certain. the people of that state long
ago became sick Of him. He had the
opportunity to show his manhood by
vetoing the most infamous libel law
ever passed by an American legislature.
and failed utterly to rise to the occa-
sion. 1t is not surprising that the
newspapers have had few good words
to say of him since, and in view Of the
dastardly character of the measure to
which he lent himself. it is not at all to
be wondered at that he has lost also
the respect of the public. The Ameri-
can people believe in fair play.

Abraham Lincoln,

A peaceful life:-just toll and rest
All his desire
To read the books he liked the best
Beside the ca bin fire;
Gods Word and mans: to peer sometimes
Above the page in smouldering CLEANS.
And catch, like far heroic rhymes,
The onmarch of his dreams.
A peaceful life:-to hear the low
OF pastured herds.
Of woodman's AK that blow on blow,
Fell sweet as rhythmic words.
And yet there stirred within his breast
\ fateful pulse that. like roll
OF drums. made high above his rest
A tumult in his soul.

As one was hailed.

Japan's Good Beginning.

The little Japs evidently realize the
full truth of the Yankee philosopher
observation about the advantage OF
getting in the first blow. However
conflicting the rumors which the cable
brings US from the Far East. it is not
to be doubted that the naval engage
ments by which the japanese nave
precipitated war with Russia, we're en-
terprises of remarkable dash and
brilIiancy. They knew where to strike
and struck quickly and with gooo
effect, and. the success Of their attacks
upon Russian war vessels at fort
Arthur is well calculated to boom the
stock of the torpedo boat and revive
its popularity among the naval
authorities.
This readiness to act promptly and
decisively. which the japanese navy
has exhibited, this week. is the same
chara cteris.ic shown in the var with
China in 1885. which gave the empire
Of the Mikado such prestige IN the eyes
of European and American military
observers. In that year her campaign
against China was we'll planned and
brilliant, and the reputation she gained
at that time was not lost by the
manner in which her troops partici-
mated. a few years later, in tie march
to Pekin. At the present time. japan
has everything to gain by Gripping the
Russian feet at Port Arthur. If it mas
seriously damaged some of Russias
warships and cruisers at the very De-
ginning of the war. it has won grea.
advantage in the contest for the control
of the Eastern seas. II the Russian
vessels are at all seriously damaged.
they might as we'll be sunk. for
Russia has no place or means OF re-
pairing them in that part Of the world.
This opening of the encounter can
only strengthen the impression that
Japan will make things exceedingly
lively for its big rival in the struggle
which has begun. If 1t could make
things lively enough SO that it could
put an end TO the war before Russia's
great reserve force can be brought into
play, it will have won a most notable
and far-reaching victory. The naval
strength of the two powers are not far
from equal. but Japan has great
advantage in adequate and accessible
naval bases. and it also has great
advantage in the personnel of the men
behind tho guns. The ships and the
men of Russia have never been tested
in actual war as have those Of Japan.
1t is generally admitted that the raw
material is good in the Russian navy,
as it is in the Russian army, but ex-
pert gunners are scarce. and there Is
considerable speculation as to the con-
dition of ordnance material of the
Russian ships. If Japan gains control
Of the sea in the early stages of the
war, it will be free to land its troops in
Manchuria, as well as COrea. But
what their reception would be. we can
only surmise. Nobody outside of the
Russian war Office knows how many
Russian troops are in Manchuria, and
as an invading army the Japanese
would not have the advantages which
now seem to be theirs upon the sea.

to orderly processes Of thought: hence.
in the old days a student. compelled by
college policy to pursue some study
which he felt was a waste Of time anu
energy, would sometimes justify him.
self in order to make UP in exami-
nations for deficient work in the class
room. in the employment OF dishonest
not to say disreputable methods.
Today such pressure does not rest
upon the student. The very general
range of electives available in any OF
our modern colleges. makes it possible
for him to determine his course OF
study in accordance with his indi-
vidual tastes and purposes. This fact
has undoubtedly impaired more zest
and interest to the college work among
the undergraduates than was known
to students who pursued their courses
in the old days. 1t is not surprising.
therefore, that out OF these changed
conditions have grown higher stand
ards Of integrity in the relations of the
students to the faculty. and that public
sentiment. which was too often prone
to laugh at breaches OF faith in the old
days, not unites in condenning any
resort to "cribbins" tactics by the stu
dent Of today. The five students ex-

al condemnation of their under-gradu-
ate associates. and in this fact, as
we'll as in the discussion it has called
forth, and in the conditions it has
shown to exist in the colleges OF our
country. We may find one OF the most
encouraging and hopeful signs OF the
present day and generation.
