@Self Education
One of the most significant

One of the most significant
statements that has appeared of late
many college paper, or elsewhere,
concerning college experience,
IS an edltorla in the cur
rent issue of The Trinity Chron-
icle, the newspaper of Trinity
College and Trinity Park School,
at Durham, III which 'self edu-
cation" is discussed. The Chron-
ice, after investigation, says that
approximately IS per cent of the
students of Trinity College earn
their way through college with
out help from parents or any
other source, except from the loan
fund of the institution. A large
number in addition to these re-
celve only partial support from
home, depending upon their own
efforts for a part of their expen-
ses. The men who are working
their way through college engage
in 80 or more different occupa-
tons, in the college community
and in the city of Durham.
The significance of these facts,
as pointed out by The Chronicle,
is that any man nowadays of
sufficient intelligence and grit to
take, or be benifted by, course
in college:can get it, for practi-
cally the same conditions prevail
in institutions all over the coun-
try as prevail at Trinity. And it
may be remarked incidentally that
the men who do have to work
two or three years before going
to college and who then have to
apply themselves to make ends
meet, are very apt to make good
after they leave college. They
realize more fully the real value
of a college education and they
are better equipped for battling
with the world after they leave
college for the reason that they
have already done considerable
battling Well tie to the man
who gets there" regardless

A Waste of Good EnqIish.

Bobby's mother was often dis
tressed by her small sons lapses
from correct speech, all the more
because his reports from school were
always so good.
Bobby" she said plaintively one
day, "why do you keep telling Major
to set up when you know sit up
is what you should say?"
"Oh, well, mother" Bobby an
swered hastily, "of course I have
lots of grammar, but l don't like to
waste it on Major when he doesn't
know the difference, being a dog"

4 GREAT SEASIDE PARK.

General approval will, we believe. be given
to the action of the Board of Estimate yesterday
in deciding TO acquire forthwith for the city for
the purposes of a seaside park an extensive tract
of land on ROckaway Beach. The scheme is by
no means a new one 1t has been advocated in
our columns on various occasions for the last
three or four years, and has commanded al
most universal public favor, except, of course,
among those who were specially interested in
other sites. The details of the project have been
sufficiently set forth. and it is not necessary to
rehearse them. save to say that the city is thus
TO be provided with park of $50 acres lying
practically several miles out at sea and vet cas-
lily accessible by various land routes with a
frontage of mile and a third on the Atlantic
Ocean. with of the finest beaches on the
continent and with an equal frontage on one of
the choicest eXpanses of landOcked tidewater in
this part of the world
a tract better suited to the uses Of a public
park is scarcely TO be imagined. 1t is quite
within bounds to say that neither Of the other
sites prOposed-COney Island and Long Beach
is comparable with it in attTactVeness, while the
prOhibitive cost of the one and the remote loca-
ton Of the other would in any case go far toward
ruling them out of consideration. The munich
pal authorities have we believe acted with wis
dom in deciding to acquire the ROckaway tract
and we assume that they will promptly proceed
TO complete their work by actually acquiring the
property in a way that will give rise TO no stls-
picion of jobbery of any kind, and then making
upon it the comparatively few material improve
ments needed for the comfort and enjoyment of
the public. These things done. New York will
have within its borders and quickly and cheapy
accessible from nearly all parts OF the city

community In the world can boast.

THE CHILDREN OF EsAU.

Genealoglsts interested in working out the
family tree Of which Esau is the original root
will be greatly aided in their researches by the
testimony just given in the oregon land fraud
case by one Sorenson, land broker of Portland
Ore. This Sorenson testified that not long SINCE
each citizen of Oregon being entitled to take up
800 acres Of the state school lands in the east
ern part of the commonwealth, interested per-
sons engaged Sorenson to acquire the rights OF
citizens TO these lands. which the broker did
most successfully by paying as high as 81 for
some assignments. Many rights he obtained
for a glass of beer; many others gratis. Up to
the time when cruel investigators checked his
absorbing work Sorenson had secured for him
self and his principals some forty-two thousand
acres OF magnificent forest land all of which
was TO have been sold TO the federal government
as a forest reservoir some modest considera-
