in His Pockets

PASADENA, Dec. 23.-Stealing the keys
from the pocket of the proprietor as they
hung on a chair in his home at $50 south
Los Robes avenue a burglar, who evidently
knew what he was doing, walked a mile to
the Daruma San company's store at 90
East Colorado street quietly let himself in
with the night key, rifled the cash register
of S12S and stole away.
incidentally, while acquiring the keys
the burglar took a gold watch worth $50
and $40 in cash from the pockets OF the
proprietor, T. Horiu Chi
The burglary was committed Monday
night by some one thoroughly familiar with
the store and its customs. 1t is usual for
the cash taken in after banking hours TO
be locked in the safe. but this plan was NOT
carried out on the night in question. The
holiday trade had kept the staff busy until
a late hour, there had been trouble In bal
anclng the books and when the errors were
found it was so late that the cash on hahu'
10 the amount of S128, was put back in the
register.

The Use OF Colleges.

The current notion that the four
years a young man passes in college
are wasted must soon receive check
if the broad view Of the object Of col
lege education given in his inaugural
address by President Fl. A. Garfield Of
Williams is accepted by the country
generally. President Garfield declared
that the chief end of the American
college is to train citizens to citizen
ship and that therein is an object
which should appeal to every student,
whatever his life work is to be. He
then brought this generalization into
definite limits by saying, "a nation
will be great and strong whose citi-
zens, bound together by common ira
ditions, inspired by high ideals, march
forward with eager and steady tread
toward goal which is ever advanc-
ing" The definite aim Of colleges, he
holds, should be the training Of citi-
zens to this national ideal, and he
would exclude from college all young
men who are not in sympathy with its
purpose or unwilling to devote them
selves to 1t.
Much has been said pro and con
upon the subject Of giving to our edu-
cation a moral bias Generally the
demand has been for an education
which is practical and equips the stu
dent for immediate work that shall be
remunerative and be a direct sequence
Of the studies pursued at school. Mr.
Garfeld's conception at once lifts the
problem above the ultra practical
plane. To those who are to bear the
cost of education this attitude may
seem reactionary, barking back to
days when education was fostered for
its own sake and not for a direct prac-
tical end. The tendency is more and
more toward specialization in training
schools for the professions as well as
for trades. the arts and commerce.
Perhaps the true college Of the fu-
ture will make training In the national
ideals it's speciality.
