Methods Of University Teaching.

A noticeable change is going on in our
leading universities with reference to
the methods of teaching is treated in a
most interesting manner in the annual
report of President Butler, of Columbia
University. The disposition is growing
among university teachers, according
to President Butler, to lay less stress
than formerly upon differences of opin-
ion as to the relative value and impor-
lance of different subjects of study and
to devote more thought to questions
connected with the most effective pre-
sentation to the students of the subject
matter in any given part of the field of
knowledge.
The originally accepted method of
teaching in America schools and col
ieges was the text book method, with
class recitations, but at one time this
method seemed to be in imminent dan
ger of complete expiration before the
lecture or demonstration imported from
the German universities by American
students who completed their educa-
lions abroad The OVERRIDING of the lee
ture method naturally developed its de-
fects, the chief objection being, as
stated by President Butler, that by its
prOmiscuous use there is an enormous
waste of power and a great loss of OPP
portunity, the power of the teacher be-
ing wasted because unable to reach and
stimulate any but the most intelligent
and devoted students and the loss of OBJ
portunity arising because of more per-
sonal and intimate methods of present
ing the subject matter of instruction
the teacher might easily reach all of the
students. The reaction from the lee
ture system has apparently brought us
back to the underground, by which the
individuality born of both teacher and
student is developed by such q combina-
ton of method as experience shows to
produce the best results.

Can't Shift Responsibility.

Editor Richmond Evening Journal:
In is quite generally conceded that
the appointment of Judge Rhea was a
mistake, but happily the Constitution
has wisely provided the method of cor
recting it. This appointment must be
confirmed by the General Assembly in
joint session. If Judge Rhea is made a
member of the Corporation Commission
the responsibility for it will rest upon
the General Assembly. 1t cannot shift
this responsibility to the Governor, he
had his responsibility and has met it.
whether wisely or unwisely, but it is
now the turn of the General Assembly
to say whether it approves or disap-
proves of the appointment made by the
Governor. If it confirms the nomina-
ton it puts its seal of approval upon
the choice of the Governor and incurs
full responsibility for the appointment.
Under the circumstances, the most IA
vorable decision of the investigating
com nittee can scarcely be more than a
Scotch verdict. If the charges have not
been proven, 1t may be said with equal
force that they have not been disproven.
Waving all question of innocence or
guilt, is the General Assembly prepared
to confirm the nomination of anyone to
this position whose reputation is open
to a serious question? Is it prepared to
accept the view that Virginia cannot
furnish three men for membership on
this commission against whom no char
ges or even suspicious could be direct
ed? If so, the old State has indeed
reached a low level. The General AS
sembly should not be unmindful of the
fact that the public estimate of its ap-
pointees is a most important factor,
and, above all, it should see to it that
no man is placed in this most important
position whose official acts and judg-
ments would not carry with them the
moral force that comes only from un-
shaken public confidence.

Russo-Tu kish War Talk.
philadelphia Press. }

War talk has shifted the scene of &C
ton from the Pacific to the Balkans.
The inevitable conflict between the
United States and Japan is indefinitely
postponed. Meanwhile the Russian and
the Turk are both represented as max
ing feverish preparations against emer-
gencies. Denials are sent out from Ber-
lin that hostilities are likely to occur;
but st. Petersburg is alarmed. and the
tone of leading Slavic journals is war
like.
All the trouble arises from an Aus
trian effort to obtain railroad conces-
sions in the Turkish Balkans. Appar-
emily Russia has maintained a sort of
Monroe Doctrine" in regard to these
undeveloped provinces. The Cars
Government goes farther. however.
than the Interpretation of the Monroe
Doctrine leads the United States Gov
eminent. 1t prohibits the Sultan from
granting railroad concession to Aus
tria under penalty of regarding such a
grant as hostile act.
The reason for this is. of course.
clear. Such a railroad, if constructed.
could be used to carry the troops of
Austria-Hungary or their allies to the
Russian frontier. Whether or not the
Sultan has admitted the validity of Rus
sia's claim to control his action in this
matter, it seems that in 1908 a note was
served upon the Sublime Porte by M.
Nelidoff, then Russian Ambassador al
Constantinpole, specifically directed
against Balkan railroad concession Il
Austria-Hungary.
Since then times and conditions have
changed. Russia has been weakened by
war; Turkey has been strengthened b,
prolonged peace and some improve
! ments of internal conditions. In tn,
'eVent of war Turkey would prefer Ash
attic battleields; Russia would strive tC
confine the scene of action to the Bal
kans, where Bulgaria Guild be relied
upon to furnish help, with prospect OF
gaining Macedonia as the reward.
This Donau-Adria railroad project i.
declared by outside observers to be com
erclally hopeless. 1t was first propos
ed fifteen years ago. No money ha.
been subscribed for it, and the proph
hecy is made that if subscriptions wer,
taken the sequel would be anothe
Panama disaster" repeating the ex
perence of the French investors in tn,
canal when the enterprise was intrustet
to De Lesseps. If this be true, tn,

and Austro- Hungary in the background
may be ignored as an exhibition O

GETTING AWAY FROM HOME
The Spirit of Righteousness and the
Desire Fer Change


Judging by a good deal Of the con-
versation OF the present day. there are
a large number OF people who have a
positive horror OF home. This curious
revulsion of feeling is taken by many
persons as q sign OF social deteriora-
ton. For our own part we find II diff
cult TO take IL quite seriously or to see
in IL anything more than n passing
within.
Nobody nowadays likes monotony
Change Is what people desire-not per-
haps any great change, but lots OF
small change; not necessarily for the
better. but for its own sake. Now,
there is great sameneSs about ones
own -four walls, be they ever so hand
some. We all feel at times an overpow-
erias desire to look at something else.
We cannot change the patterns or the
pictures on them every day. and neither
they nor the home furniture ever seems
- alter in expression.
Again. there is terrible sameness
about ones own cook. Experience ena
blos Us to foretell the taste of every.
thing 81 ho;2e. from the soup to the sa-
worry If We are rich and from the NUT
ton to the cheese II we are poor;
whereas II we dine at a restaurant
everything down to the salt is differ
ent. AID the restaurant is refurnished
daily with new faces.
Then. again, the music and stir going
on around one avoid the necessity for
much conversation. and conversation
in the home circle Is sometimes diff
cult and sometimes dull. 1t does not do
always just to say what one thinks. II
Is sHch bad practice for dining out.
and. this being the case. 1t is not easy
sometimes to think what to say.
Nowadays we get socially speaking.
tired of our friends and even of our nc
qIaintances. We want them to pass
continually before us like street pro-
ceSsion. Instead of that they rather
resemble a stage crowd and keep COM
ing up again. There is limit to those
We know. limit even to those we
should like or should be likely to know

latter limit is disregarded. The barrier
of good manners which forbids that
those who are acquainted with one an
other should speak. is sufficient to pro
tect our station or our dignity, but II
is not a very high fence. and II is one
which it is amusing to look overflow
