Historian Assails Carnegie's Gifts for
Professors and Libraries.
New York Sun Special Service

New York Sun Special Service.
Philadelphia, April 29.-"I don It
know anything more about Andrew Car
negie g gift of $10,OOO,O0O as a pension
fund for college professors who are un-
able to continue in active service than
what I have read, but don It like it, -
said DR.. John Bach McMaster, profess
sor Of American history at the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania, and one Of the
best-known historians in the country.
"We have Carnegie libraries, Carnegie
heroes, and now Carnegie professors.
IT don It believe in this scattering of
libraries over the country, as Mr.. Car
negie has been doing in the last few
years. It is not q good thing, and
don t like Mr.. Carnegie g methods. In
the first. place, do not believe in pen
sion systems in general, and I am espe.
cially opposed to them in the teaching
profession. It would be virtually the
same thing as the police pensioning, and
it surely would lower the profession,
When one of us enters that profession
we do not do it with the expectation of
making money; we have an entirely
different end in view. This pension sys-
tenn would lower our standard. I be-
leve that in this and in all professions,
as in business, each man should stand
on his own basis, and on that alone.
Personally. I would not accept such a
Dr.. Charles Curtis Harrison, provost
Of the university, took an entirely diff.
ferent view and seemed much pleased
with Mr.. Carnegie g gift.

GIFT
AFFECTS U. OF N.
MAKES SMALLER COLLEGES At
TRACTIvE TO PROFESSORS.
A Low Salary Limit at Minnesota State
Institution Has Long Caused Grave
Concern Which the Pension Plan May
Aggravate-Athletic a Big Factor
in Selection of Colleges.

Minnesota must pay her university
professors better eventually lose some
of them to smaller institutions not
under state control.
This is one of the first developments
to be predicted as a result of the Car
negie Foundation.
For many years conditions have been
growing up in both the state univer-
sity and the smaller colleges that have
caused grave concern. In the first
| case the university, being under state
control, has been subject to some
what oppressive policy Of economy
to be politicians than educators. This
has made it difficult to change the
schedule Of salaries as the institution
grew in Importance and raised its
standards. The inevitable result has
been that the university authorities
have been apprehensive over their
ability to secure and keep men Of the
desired ability who would be better
paid elsewhere.
On the other hand, the independent
olleges-mostly founded as denomina.
tional schools-have been gravely con,
cerned over falling off in attend
! ance. In competition with state uni.
versities where the athletic interest is
strong, the smaller colleges have suf
fered. New students prefer to matric'
ulate where they can yell for a winner
! Moreover the curricula Of the state
most part the small institutions are
meagerly endowed and a decrease in
! enrolment eventually means financial
embarrassment and inability to secure
high grade talent as faculty vacancies
| occur.
That the Carnegie Foundation, af
| fording a yearly pension Of 81, 900 tc
the retired professor, will make the
smaller colleges more attractive tc
teaching talent is the opinion Of Pres
| ident Cyrus Northrop.
cit is one Of the noblest and most
| useful gifts and will come as great
relief to hundreds Of professors in the
colleges he said today. EIt will dc
a world of good relieving the anxiety
of a large number of excellent and val
liable men who have never been able
to accumulate enough money to take
care Of them in their old age. Accord
ing to the provisions of the gift, state
universities and sectarian schools are
| barred from receiving the benefits OF
the fund. Such institutions as Har
ward and Yale will, however, be in
cluded.
"The only effect this will have on the
schools where the gift does not apply
will be that the men who are getting
no advance in salary will be drawn tc
the institutions included under the
fund. It will make these institutions
more attractive and will enable the
teachers advanced in years to retire
on $1,000 a year,
The existing salary limit at the Uni
versity Of Minnesota, where the heads
of the different departments and the
professors are unable to get an in
crease in salary after certain point
has been reached, makes the remarks
of DR.. Northrop rather significant.

CENTRAL" GIRLS HAVE
UNWELC0ME CALLER

Patrons calling up the Northwestern
Telephone company exchange at Prior
and University avenues, Midway, at
pm. yesterday heard cries of !" Muir
der! Help! Police! Take him away!''
Fearing some tragedy they rushed to
the scene on foot, horseback, and in
autos. Everything seemed in per-
feet order, and when inquiry was made
to the manager, it was explained as
"only little horseplay.'
One of the girls, told the story later
on. A huge gray horse escaped from the
Barret & Zimmerman barns and tore
down the street until it reached the
wide doors of the exchange. Here it
turned into the room devoted to the
"hello" girls. The girls paid no at
tention until the visitor blew terrific
blast down the neck Of the girl on the
end of the line.
Their the uproar began. It would
be hard to say which was the more
frightened, the horse or the girls. Some
with amazon tendencies seized hat
pins and waved them frantically.
Some of the more timid tried to crawl
inside the switchboard. With wild
snort the horse pranced thru the room
and burst out Of another door which
led to the street and with a crash dis
appeared. Stable men We're loolin o

Keep Enumerators Busy Thruout

State census work in Hennepin coun-
ty will require the attention Of eighty
six enumeratOrs during June. Andrew
A. D. Rain, who has been designated
to superintend the work, has practi-
cally finished laying out the districts,
after consultation with the Hennepin
members Of the legislature, who will
also have some voice in picking the
enumerators.
The thirty eighth legislative district,
comprising the first ward and part of
the third, will be divided into. eight
districts. The thirty ninth, taking in
into nine districts. The fortieth, which
is the fourth ward, forms eight dis
tricts, and the forty-frst, comprising
the fifth and sixth wards, forms eleven.
The forty-second will have five country
districts and thirteen in the seventh,
eleventh and twelfth wards: The forty
third will have eleven country districts
and ten in the eighth and thirteenth
wards. The forty-fourth will have four
districts in the country and seven in
the, city portion, which takes in the
tenth ward and all Of the third but the
river precincts.
The enumerators will be selected be-
fore May 20. and the blanks must be

show whether he is capable of filling
out blanks intelligently and neatly.
