that IL. in order to secure money. a col
partment. it might, for money, aban-
don some other department. For ex-
ample, there might be an old crank
with a hatred of mathematics. He
might offer some millions to a college
on condition that it abandon its course
in mathematics. The same principle
applies to all college departments.
There is no telling where the thing
might stop. Freedom in our colleges,
freedom of expression and of manage
ment is important above everything
else.
We must confess our admiration of
Swarthmore for setting so splendid an
example. Three million dollars is
lot Of money these hard times, or any
times, for that matter. 1t would have
meant a good deal to Swarthmore, as
it would have meant a good deal to
any college. Even our largest institu-
tions of learning would be very glad
to receive $4,000 900, provided they could
ACCSANV II NlNAOul lOSS OF SelI-TeSDeCI.
The income from such a sum at, say
per cent, would be $120 200. enough to
broaden the scope of the college,
enough TO institute new and much
needed departments.
And it must have cost the trustees a
struggle to give the money up. After
all, there are many people who do not
approve of college athletics. They see
so much in the newspapers about what
the young men are doing in the athletic
line end so little about what they do
in their studies that. they get the idea
that the most important thing about a
college course is the athletic course.
This is far from the truth. The ath-
letio department is most important,
but no college considers athletics as
of he first importance.
The chief purpose in instituting the
course is to build up the bodies of the
young men, for it has long been rec
ognized that much learning is of small
value to a weak body. The physical,
as well as the mental, side of the boy
should be developed, keeping them as
nearly equal as possible.
And the main point must not be lost
sight of. 1t is that no college can af-
ford 10 accept gifts with hampering re-
strictions attached to them. No col
lege that does accept such gifts is
worthy of a place among our educa-
tiOnal institutions.

THE M ETALS.
THE MoNoNeAH DISASTER.

The horror of the Monongah disaster
in West Virginia grows as fresh re-
ports are received. 1t is now believed
that the death list will be over, rather
than under, 500. If this estimate is
correct, it will make the Monongah dis
aster the greatest of its kind in the his
tory of mining. The hearts of the peo-
pie Of Utah will go out to the strick-
en- ones. for the disaster of May 1, 1900.
at Scofield. is still fresh in the minds
of this people And there is a strik-
ing similarity in the causes.
The Scofield catastrophe was caused
by an explosion of coal dust That at
Monongah seems to have come from
the same cause. The great difference
between the two is in the rescuing of
the bodies of the unfortunates who lost
their lives. At Scofield, where 299 per
ished, it was possible 10 go into the
mine almost Immediately. At Monon-
igah the deadly after-damp is seriously
'hampering the work of the rescuers.
Tt is in connection with this rescue
work that a bright light is cast over
the gloom.
According TO the dispatches the men
who form the rescue parties, though
thoroughly cognizant of the danger Of
suffocation, are valiantly battling 10
bring forth the bodies of their COM
rades. There has been no hesitation.
no hating, no falling back. Ten rlen
are said to be dying as a result of
their attempts at rescuing bodies.
Every one. if he lives, should be given
a medal for bravery and the families
of those that die should be cared for.
Now, It having been determined that
there can be no living men in the
mine. the state and federal authorities
have ordered a cessation of the res
cue work. They rightly cannot see the
necessity OF sacrificing the living for
the dead. But it is a notable fact that
the work would have gone on, regard
less Of the danger, If the authorities
had not interviewed. The men were
willing and anxious to risk their lives.
even though they knew they could not
save lives by so doing.
Another bright feature of the situa-
ton is the prompt relief that is being
given TO the families Of the men who
were lest. Every case of distress, and
there must have been many, has been
relieved, and all that is humanity posi-
bic is being done for the afflicted. This
was done also in Utah. The public re-
members that We took care of our own
without help from outside sources.
There will be time enough later for
investigations with a view to fixing the
for the disaster. And. if
the responsibility can be fixed. the gull
~ party should be made TO suffer the
extreme penalty of the law.

A FREE COLLEGE.

The action of the trustees of Swarth-
'$s,000,0o0 conditioned on the abandon
'ment Of football and all other forms of
athletics is being generally commend
ed. Newspapers and periodicals that
have commented on the incident have
been quick to realize that the accept
ance Of the donation would have had
the effect of tying the hands of the
college in one important particular.
No point is made CT the necessity or
lack of necessity for athletic instruc-
ton in our colleges and universities.
1t is pointed out. and properly so,

JUST so HE SAVED THE ICE.
CChicagO Daily News.

Irving Brokaw, Americas champion
ner at the Knickerbocker club in New
York:
I'VE are not good skaters in this part
of the country because we don't get
enough ice. Good ice is as rare with
us IS jewels. The way we prize it is
almost laughable.
I'm my boyhood l knew a man, Jcre-
my Ccrne by name. who used TO lease
a skating pond each winter. and
charge 25 cents admission to it.
zone winter the weather was horri-
bly, mild. With December we'll on, The
pond had not once frozen over. Jere-
my Corne was in despair.
Then a cold day came and a light
scum formed on the water. There was
another cold day, and that scum
turned to clear green ice. A crowd OF
young people came with their skates
and their quarters, but Jeremy would
not let them on the pond.
&" The ice is still too thin TO bear We,
he SAID. 'Ye'd spile everything. and
maybe get drowned into the bargain,
if let We on now. Call round agin to-
morrow
THE young people went away dis
appointed. but one venturous youth,
when Jeremy's back was turned.
slipped on his skates and SKINNED out
gaily into the middle of the pond.
Come back here yelled Jeremy
Come back, consarn ye.'
The ice was very thin. 1t cracked
as the youth advanced, with a noise
like thunder. His path was marked
with white cracks like the veins of
leaves.
Back with ye!' yelled Jeremy
But a louder cracking resounded in
the cold, still air. and the youth, throw
ing up his arms, disappeared. He
bobbed up again instantly and began TO
flop about and struggle, clutching wild
ly at the ice that encircled him in the
hole he had made, but the thin ic.-
only broke under his weight, letting
him down suddenly into the black wa
ter again.
Jeremy, beside himself to see his
good ice going like that, yelled from
the bank:
Come out o. that, or the water
won't freezeI But don't we break
what fee there is left, do We hear?
Crawl underneath to where L am, and
I'll knock a hole for We to get out byi'"
