as he shook hands with his teacher he

Academic Freedon

For one must not forget in considering
the administration of a university that
there are to every form of administra-
ton two sides; the mechanical and the
spiritual. The mechanical part of ad-
ministration is that which provides the
machinery necessary to carry out given
enterprise. The other side of admins
tration, the spiritual, consists in getting
out Of men the best there is in them.
For set Of perfect men, says Henry S.
Pritchett, writing in Atlantic, any ad-
ministrative consists in taking men as
they are, with their prejudices, their
faults, their virtues, and in getting out
OF them the highest results of which they
are capable. Now our attention has
been given of late years, in American
university life, increasingly to the me-
chanical side of administration, and the
machinery has been TO approximate
more and more closely, both in its form
and in its choiGe of executive officers. to
the practice of the business corporation.
ASS va SAOoShCoo anu VI OF
ganization are in some respects it's chief
faults. That which is mechanical is al
ways simpler than that which is living.
To-day we need, in my judgment, to con-
Germ ourselves in the university with
the spiritual side of administration.
For, after all, we can never too
often remind ourselves that the first
purpose of the university is not to fur
Their Industrial development or to in
crease the wealth of a state, but that it
is the development of the intellectual
and spiritual life. This development can
take place only in the air of freedom,
however evident are the dangers which
freedom brings with it. Wealth: pow
er, the niceties of life, may all grow in
an atmosphere of limited or of artificial
freedom, but only in the air of real free
dom can be grown that spirit and that
intelligence which shall minister to
those things which are spiritual and to
those things which are eternal.

choice to the individual pupil. Again,
there is great deal too much memoriz-

the memory, but not the intellect;

but superficial requirement, over
crowding the memory cells and oozing
out again bit by bit. The only efficient
way to teach is to make every pupils
mind imbibe the salient facts of each
matter, to be amalgamated and digested
thoroughly.

that he had to wind about 40 yards of

Mole and His Habits.

In burrowing his tunnels the molt
seems to swim through the earth rath-
er than to dig his way. Although much
of the earth is never removed from the
runs. but is beaten hard into the walls
and floor of the tunnel, the creature finds
it more expeditions in busy times to
clear the runs of loose earth. This he
does at a point where the run comes to
the surface by pushing the earth before
him with his fiat forehead land face.
Sometimes, where the earth binds easily,
he pushes out the mold in solid round
plugs, showing the exact dimensions OF
the orifce through which they have been
thrust. When the mole is hunting or
travelling underground he has no need
to throw up the earth This is subse-
quent operation for the purpose of clean
ing the runs for regular use.
