WHAT THE UNIVERSITY OF LON.
DON is.

To-day the University Of Lo,don has
become the most important institution
for uniting confederating, and coordinat-
s,g all institutions of the higher educa-
ton of Greater London. 1t is an institu-
ton in and of itself. But 1t is also and
more. an Institution formed through
other institutions which are affiliated
with IT,
These schools thus affiliated while VS.
ually independent schools, are also schools
recognizing their federation with the
university CoenmcaSy they control their
own finances, make their own appoint
ments of members of the teaching staff,
and govern their students as they in
their own corporate wisdom determine.
They are. however, influenced in these
scholastic activities by the whole uni
versity, in whose chief governing body
the senate they are represented. They
also feel the inspiration and the sense Of
relationship which belongs to association
with a large body, administrative and
scholarly. AS the registrar OF the univcr-
sity in a personal letter says: "A direc-
ton Is given TO the studies in all the isr-
situations connected with the university
by the curricula laid down for degrees by
the senate. These curricula are drafted
in the first instance by the boards OF
studies. which practically include teach
ers from All the various Institutions. who
are therefore brought into close intellec.
tual contact; and. as rule, the recon-
| mendations of the board with regard t
curricula arc adopted by the sernte witt

THE IMPROVED AMERICAN BOY.

1t seems to us that the quality of the
boy now growing up ia, this country is
peculiarly fine. He is not only less OBJ
streperous and egotistical, but clearer
and clearper minded than the lad Of
twenty years ago. His advance physi-
cally will be manifest to any one who
will compare the figures In a class photo
graph of to-day with those of yesterday.
He is taller straighter, better-featured,
finer haired, handsomer and more like
a thoroughbred In every way. The ex-
ercise to which much Of this improve
ment Is attributable may be no more
Jealous. but it seems to be less spas
modic, more consistent and better adapt
ed to its true purpose. As an inevitable
sequence his habits have become more
regular, improving in turn his manners.
Altogether he has become attractive,
partially in what he might resent being
called a glrlish sense, as the effect of
his greater delicacy, but chiefly in
purely masculine way, since in point of
reality he was never before so manly or
so scrupulous of his personal honor. His
mother is the one chiefly responsible for
this happy evolution. Thirty years ago,
her prototype donned cap and became
frankly middle-aged at marriage. From
that day the principal feature of her per-
sonal appearance, her figure. ceased to
interest her especially. and AT forty she
was satisfactory to a degree as a mother
but utterly worthless as a comrade and
a helper. To-day. at forty-five she Is her
daughters equal in appearance, and usu-
ally We believe, her superior in the pos
