NOW TALK OF ovER-EDUcATloN..
Complaint In Germany That It is Made
Too Accessible.

In Germany there is strong move
ment against generalization of the
masses. The complaint is that too
many schools of various kinds exist
and that education is made too accessi-
BILE. The result Is an intellectual
proletariat large and growing
class of educated men for whom there
are no places in the professions and
the various services of the state. The
salaries or earnings of engineers, ply
sicians, lawyers, teachers, architects,
and SO on, have steadily decreased by
reason Of excessive competition or
oversupply of the market. The teach
ing profession, In particular, is so con.
gested that men have to wait years
and years for permanent positions,
with the benefits connected with them.
And it is fact that this intellectual
furnishes thousands Of
recruits to the social democracy, the
party of discomfort and radical ideas
about social reorganization An.

pass the word over that his fare was
paid handed out a cigar to the chop
per and came over to our side He
was greeted with a laugh by the man
who had called to him, and naturally
asked what 1t was for. Didn't you
give that ticket chopper 15-cent
cigar?' asked the friend. The man
admitted that he gave the kind he
usually smoked. WELL said the other,
why didn't you just come across with
out saying anything about it, pay your

Story Used by Or. Fin to Rehuke
UItra-Socialist.

DO
A Bucknell university professor was
talking about David Jayne Hill, the
successor in the Berlin embassy to
Charlemagne Tower
"Dr. HILL" he said, impressed us
here--you know he was our president
for number Of years--no less with
his wit than with his learning. He
had thought and written on many sub
jects-psychology, rhetoric, socialism,
flnance-and to hear him discuss these
subjects was a delight l heard him
take down one day an ultra-socialistic
student.
Young man., he said, you and
your extravagant friends remind me
in your attitude toward capital, of a
Plainfield cooks attitude toward her
mistress. One Christmas time, when
I lived at Plalnfield, lady sent her
cook out to buy the. Christmas turkey.
But when the cook returned, she had
two chickens.
Martha" the lady said, Il told
you to get turkey, not chicken"
""I know, num-" Martha answered,
"but don't like turkey"

Great Pianist Works Hard.

How conscientious are the great
musicians who enjoy the favor of the
public was recently shown in the case
Of Ignace Paderewski, who, the day
before he played his sonata here,
spent seven hours at the piano in
practice and consented to leave 1t only
when he realized he would be too
fatigued to play in public If he did not
have rest. Although the pianist is in
robust health this year his way of life
is as out of the ordinary as ever. He
never goes to bed until three o'clock
in the morning. He plays the plano
until II or 10, then reads and spends
the rest Of the night until bedtime in
smoking cigarettes and writing let
tiers. He usually rises at noon. All
that he gets of exercise is at the piano
or when he is playing billiards.-N

SAVED MERCHANT FROM RUIN.
Word from J. p. Morgan Brought
Needed Financial Help.

A Washington treasury official who
has just returned from New York tells
story illustrative Of the effort Of J
Pierpont Morgan, the New York finan-
cier, to stop the financial depression.
A Jewish manufacturer had been
operating his business for some time
on credit. His notes fell due early
In November, and he went to bank
to get them renewed. Though he had
been large depositor and was known
to be man of scrupulous honesty,
the bank declined to grant him an ex-
tension, insisting that he should pay
his notes on the day they fell due.
This was impossible, and bankruptcy
stared him In the face. He went to a
friend and asked him what he
should do.
mo bank will loan you cent" said
his adviser. II have 1t. Go to Mr..
Morgan and state your case to him.
"Oh, he won't do anything for me-"
the manufacturer responded hopeless
ly. "But I'll try, anyhow
Mr.. Morgan received him courteous
ly and listened to his statement. Then
he turned to his phone and rang up
the bank.
"Mr. So and So Is in my Office" he
said, land tells me you have declined
to grant him an extension of his notes.
It is just such people as you who are
making the condition serious. Unless
those notes are renewed, shall make |
1t my business to ruin YOU"
Then the fnancier turned to his
caller.
Il Think he said, you will find the
bank willing to extend your notes.
1t was.

From the Colds, Joke Factory.

Out at the University of Chicago the
woman's dormitories have developed
fountain heads of humor from which
wit springs as spontaneously as oil
from John D. Rockefeller's wells in

Most Of the gags" at the founders

mated from this source. Recently the

rather, a new version of an old one,
which starts off like this:

OF course, the ordinary low-bred re-
plies
Il dunno; why is j. Pierpont Nor

Had Right to Be judge.

The following pretty story Of Nine
Teresa Careno, the pianist is told by
one of her pupils, just returned from
abroad: 1t was after the perform
ance Of the Grieg concerto in London
by Nine Gareno. The audience was
storming. Suddenly voice called out
Bravo. Bravo. I have never heard 1t
played better" Nine Careno gracious
ly acknowledged the compliment, but
was visibly annoyed when the pos
SCISSOR Of the voice, an old man, kept
repeating it three or four times. The
old man apparently noticed the
artists disapproyal of his impulsive
action. He got up from his seat and
said: "Well, I ought to know what I
am talking about because I wrote this
concerto myself" Nine Careno had
failed to recognize in the little old
man Norway's greatest composer, Ed.
ward Grieg.
