too many breeds OF typewriHng machines
The employer usually desires the best ma
chine he can get for the least money In his
endeavor TO save money he listens to the
seductive song OF Mr.. Smooth Typewriter
Salesman. who is paid A good salary 20 sub
stitute talk for whatever his machine may
lack. and who, on the quiet. tells MIR I'm.
ployer that while his particular machine may
not have the reputation OF the three or four
standard grade ,ypewriters. It has 'steen
hundred less parts, hencefor;h Is much sim.
pler and more durable. &c. and finally may
be had Tor $40 less. Nine times out Of eleven
the machine Is a mongrel. and for every ton
the employer saves In purchasing IT he loses
a hundred in swear words to say nothing Of
the mndenly explosives and salty tear drops
wasted BY the young woman who does her
best with IT,
Then too, your average employer usually
expects girl with $40 mentality to accom-
plish SIS worth of work in weeks time
Perhaps she has struggled hard to obtain tho
price Of q meagre course in shorthand aud
typcwTting in a school where she is gwen tho
benefit ~ Of half digested knowledge at tho
hands Of a professor who should be our

schools" where tynewTiting is taught for a
stupeudously low price, some one enterrtis-
ing company usually gets monopoly and
cleans out all the rival machines by making
a better deal" for rental. &c Pray tell Us.

Law and Medical Schools for Princeton.

To THE EpIroR or THs SrS-sN. !, appears that
the alumni Of Princeton 10 he requested TO raise
$4,000 to complete the university
ltwould seem that now is the time 10 make Prince
ton a genuine university and there Is reason why
sunicIent money should not be raised II the matter
IS property presented among the mtmbes OF INC
medical and legal professions In New Jersey. 1t is
strange that In population OF more than million
within a short radius OF Newark sufficient, money
should not be raised TO found medical school and
a law school.
Undoubtedly Instructors OF the highest ability
and national reputation such the
stans OF the numerous hospitals In Essex and iiud
counties. and members Of the bar. Judges and
others In the lega! fraternity could be Induced to
NIL the posts OF lecturers at nominal rates. why
cannot New jersey have medical school Why
cannot New jersey have law school Why
not Princeton become university in fact rather
than In ntne'
It estimated that there arc IN RsseI and Hudson
counties alone about seven hundred lawyers and
about seven hundred physlcons and IN the neigh
boring counties OF Bergen, Morris Union Mon
mouth, Sussex and Warren there as many
more
As far as the legal fraternity Is concerned, the
necessity OF establishing special law school IS
obvious, As New Jersey practice is so entirely dis
tlnct from New YORK practice.
The bar OF New jersey stands very high. bW
II Is unfortunate that New jersey law students
are compelled TO go out OF the State Tor uclr IN
struci'on. Like nearly oil the prominent states.
New Jersey should have a law school
Is 10 a medical school, the hospitals OF Jersey
CITY and Newark afIOrd excellent opportunities
for the study all phases OF disease The surgeons
and phy slcanS OF New Jersey stand as high as
those OF any State. and there is every reason why
New Jersey should have medical school. such MS
