Mr.. Lentz Released on One
Thousand Dollar Bond

The turn taken for the better irf
the condition of Mr. Charles Jeter,
who was shot last Friday night by
Mr.. E. J. Lentz, enabled the counsei

without trial awaiting the action of

The bond placed over Mr.. Lentz was
$1,000, which was made at once, and
he was released. We are glad to see

They Have Not Hurt Colleges, Says
President HndIey of Yale.

There is no doubt that the democratic
spirit in our colleges is subject to more
dangers today than it was fifty years
ago. The old graduate is right in think
ing that it is easier to keep up the
democratic spirit where everybody IS
doing the same thing and where no
body has much money.
But the old graduate is wrong in
thinking that we can legislate our
selves back to this condition when the
world outside has passed beyond IT
or that men trained in such u college
as he remembers would be able. after
they graduated, to meet the demands
and the temptations of the present age.
Lycurgus made Sparta into an old fash
ioned college with no electives and no
money.
How miserably the Spartans failed
when they were called upon to do any
thing which made for human progress
is a matter Of history. Our college
graduates are going out into a world of
political life more complex than any
thing with which the LacedaemOnians
had to deal 1t is only by training
them for the enjoyment of freedom
and the use of wealth in their school
days that we shall enable them to deal
with the greater problems which free
dom and wealth are creating through
out the country.
1t is one Of the most hopeful signs in
the undergraduate life Of the present
day that the students, and particularly
the Weather students, are preparing
themselves with open eyes for the as
sumption of political responsibility.
The studies and efforts of our under
graduates in our college clubs will
probably not advance them very mach
in the direction of getting Office during
their earlier years of professional life.
But these studies and efforts will
help them and will help the country as
a whole toward the establishment of a
system under which the man with
money feels that he holds that money
in trust for the public and the man
who desires Office desires it primarily
for what he can put into it rather than
for what he can get out of it.-Presi-
dent Hadley of Yale in Harper's.

The old school Reader.

Men and women who went to school
thirty-five or forty years ago will be
disposed to doubt the assertion repeat
edly made that no good school readers
are available nowadays. 1t may be
that "McGuffey's" series is out of print,
but it could easily be rehabilitated, and
any of the old boys and girls will main
tain that it would be impossible to get
up a better reader than "McGuffey's."
If there is any doubt about it in edu-
cational circles it is because educators,
like most other people, do not know
what is good for them these days
