The regents Of the university are expect
ing an opinion from the supreme court
shortly which will decide whether they
have the legal right to establish two ex-
perimental stations in the sand hills. The
legislature appropriated money for this
purpose providing the regents would take
the sum out OF the temporary university
fund
When the time came for selecting the To-
cation Of the stations the regents hesitated
for fear they had no legal right to use the
temporary fund for that purpose
Representative Bushee, who fathered the
bill through the legislature. brought a man
damus to compel the board to act. This
was argued to the supreme court some
weeks ago and a decision may be handed
down this week.

Educational Note..

The McKeesport schoolma'am has be-
come so attractive and her wedding so
likely that superintendent Of Schools ]. B
Ritchey has asked the school boards of the
city that applicants for teachers berths
in the city be asked to give bond that hey
will finish the term for which they are en-
gagged instead Of marrying.
Statistics at Wellesley college this year
show a larger percentage of the attendants
coming from the middle west, and even
from the states beyond the Rockies. Fiji
teen years ago the percentage OF students
from the New England states was more
than SO, and this year It lie only a per cent
of the whole.
Fifty years a pedagoeue-that is the rec
ord OF Orville T. Bright. superintendent Of
District No. s of the Chicago public school
system. The activities of any one man In
one profession seldom span such q gap be-
tween the past and the future, but Mr..
Bright still is in. the service and there is
nothing to indicate that he will not be In
the harness for many years to come.
The I01 courses Of study which go to
make up the curricuiums Of the Chicago
public high and elementary schools are
calculated to overwork students and at this
same time do not give them the sort OF
education that is most desirable. This Is
the opinion of Mrs. Ella Flagg Young,
superintendent Of schools. and her assist.
ants, and as a result a numbercef radical
changes in the courses of study Rre under
consideration.

They Continue to Draw students from
All over the Country.
It has been asserted that the eastern uni
v~ersities are losing ground in the states

north Atlantic), owing to the increasing
competition OF the leading state universe
ties Of the middle west, says the New York
sun, but. as a matter Of fact, the total
registration Of Columbia. Cornell. Harvard,
Pennsylvania. Princeton and Yale for the
year 1903 in divisions outside Of the north
Atlantic and in foreign countries shows a
gain Of lag over the preceding year, and OF
S07 students over 1906.
This increase would be much larger were
IL not for the advantages offered in insti-
tutions like Illinois, Michigan and Wiscon-
These are the only state universities
that draw over 20 per cent Of their student
body from other states than their own, and
they can lay claim, therefore, to having
become national institutions. Michigan to-
day draws students from every state Of
the union but one Oelaware), including S91
from New York state, las from Pennsyl-
vania and sixty-nine from foreign coun-
tries, attracting $40 Students from the north
Atlantic division. or 176 more than in 1906.
1t must not be forgotten. however, that
many Of the students registered at the vari-
Gus state universities would not go to col
lege at all II IL were not for the advantages
just mentioned. With many of them, says
the American College, It is a question Of
the state university or none at all and not
OF selection between the state institution
and a representative eastern university,
and a fair percentage of these very stu
dents are apt to turn up later on in the
professional or graduate school Of an east
ern institution, having earned money
enough through teaching or in other ways
after graduation from the state university.

The above estimate may be used as a
basis for computing the cost Of other ma
terisl. For instance the other classes Of
paving block, B, c and d. vary from 5 to
s per cent cheaper than class A Asphaltlc
concrete costs about the same as the paw
ing block. The sheet asphalt costs from
5 to 10 per cent more. The creosoted wood
block costs fully 30 per cent more, which
would bring the contracts up to about
S23s,O 900.
When It is remembered that paving con-
tracts have already been let amounting TO
about $4,000 and that the figures Of the
present contract will be duplicated in other
contracts before spring. It can be readily
seen that paving operations will be ex-
tensive next year.

Got Two Years In The Pen

Earnest Beretzi the Frenchman charged with importing women in- to the United States for immoral purposes, was found guilty at Ketchikan last week and sentenced to two years in the penitentiary. Beretzi didn't like the way the yer dict went and made an intellectual attempt at suicide in his cell. He had a safety razor in his possess sion and used the blade to cut his wrist but did not cut deep enough to do any particular damage to him self, and it was generally believed to be only play to excite sympa- thy and thus induce the judgeto be lenient in dealing out sentence.

Water Pressure All Right

During the past week fire drills have been an almost daily occur renee, and the benefit thereof is ap- parent in the way in which the boys now handle the hose. A guage test was made showing that the pressure stands at II2 pounds to the square inch. We at The Sen tinel office had been satisfied right along that the pressure was eXcep- tionally good, by just judging from the way in which the Pelton wheel we have installed gets in and hus- ties when the valve is opened, but we had no idea that it is as high as it is. By the way, you are invited to come in and see the little mach inc get busy. Sam kincaid did the installing and pipe-ftting, and it's a good job too, every joint be- ing perfectly tight and just as it should be.

The Jury Disagreed

The Murray damage case against the Shakan Salmon Co.,. was tried in the District Court at ketchikan last week. and resulted in a hung jury. According to the reports coming from the jury, which was out almost two days, the first bal lot stood ten to two for a verdict for the boy, and the next one showed eleven votes out of twelve in his favor. This, however, was as near as they could come to a. greeing, although the eleven offer ed to settle for S3,. 500, instead of S6, 500, the amount asked for. The case will be given another trial either at Skagway, or during the Juneau term of court beginning in December.
 In the damage case of Mrs. Pet erson against the same concern, the plaintiff was not ready for trial so the court ruled that she had hf- teen days in which to pay in to the clerks office money enough to pay the expenses of the defense, other- wise the case would be dismissed.
