The Oldest school is not necessarily the best.
Inc largest school is not always the best.
The best school is the one that has the best courses of
study, has the best teachers and is indorsed by every one of
its students.

The town which secures the institution

the school. In the cases OF the application
offered this has been done. The board IL

selection OF this normal site. The cities and
towns which apply and furnish the board
with information concerning the ADVANTAGE
OF the location at that point must be visited
by the board within ten days after sep

Related Reflections on Titles of
Graduation Papers.
Two young men were given degrees at
Yale at last commencement whose gradu-
alton papers-"theses" Is the academic
nomenclature-were on about as abstruse
a couple Of topics as the board layman
would care TO sit up under with unwilted
shirt collar. One young man was given
his medical degree after holding his audi
ence entranced' with his thesis, the char
acter Of which may be imagined from its
title, The intracellular enzymes of pen
cellium and espergilus, with special refer
ence to those Of the pendulum
berti."
Before an audience Of wholly professional
men. comments the Denver News, such a
title might pass as tolerable; but II would
be considered in better taste, even in such
surroundings, were the reader to content
himself with the statement that his grad
uation paper was on the subject OF fer
mentation Of two forms Of bacilli in fun
gold growths, with special reference to the
bacillus discovered by COMMANDMENTS.
The second young man was given the
degree of doctor Of philosophy on a thesis
the title OF which was "a generalized defi-
milton OF an improper multiple integral"
This is a problem In integral calculus lndi-
eating in q general way, so a Salt Lake
City expert says, that while for the most
part formulas may be devised descriptive
of any curve, a point may be reached
where a multiplicity OF convolutions do not
admit Of Interpretation through any known
formulas. Considerable inquiry was made
before anyone could be found who would
venture even an explanation, MEMBERS of
the engineering staff Of a local road sud
denly remembering with more or less dis
tressed expression that they had forgotten
just that particular feature In their cal
culus.
Certain eastern papers, affecting to make
merry over the thesis titles referred to,
are disposed to read these young acade-
micians in particular, and all graduating
students in general. a fatherly lecture on
the childishness of overlooking their con-
tributions to commencement literature with
a verbal Horticulture that shuts out from
view many and very good ideas as a sup
~erfluous growth Of pond lilies covers from
sight the waters OF a pond.
Latin terms nave their place in techni-
cal phraseology where they prove OF value,
In their way; but TO make an indiscrim-
mate use of foreign terms and expressions
in a graduation paper, where there is no
excuse for it-well, II may be a question
whether IL does not reflect more on the
common sense Of professors and instruc-
tors in encouraging this sort OF thing
rather than on the misguided sense of the
student whose unchecked, youthful exag-
g~eratlon OF the Importance of the pedantic
and ponderous in essay writing has led
him into expressing his thoughts In this
nebulous, cloudy fashion.

DR.. FOFdyce's Argument strongly
COmbatted.

Following the fashion in finding fault
with the modern college, says the New
York Evening Post, Charles Fordyce, dean
OF the University OF Nebraska, says tina
young mon degenerate within six months
after entering college, for the reason that
they have been going to a secondary
school under a home influence. They
come to college as their own masters. and
In a few months they fall under alluring
vices constantly Haunted before their eyes.
Now, II Is undoubtedly the fact that some
boys are wild in college, but 1t Is unde-
niable that many boys are not. Then, too,
many boys, inclined to wildness before
they enter college, undergo when in the
institution restraining and eultivating in
fluences. Many boys who are wild in
college are not Wild because they are in
college. They would be Wild anywhere,
and IL is probable that many OF them
would be wilder out Of college than in.

anew to the growing opposition to high

in Chicago, as saying: Il cannot conceive
OF the permanent existence of what Is
known as the American public school II
the fraternity spirit continues to grow as
1t has during the last ten years" And he
then Inquired: What is this quIrk OF child

become an educational problem"
Mr.. Hard relates that there Is one soror-
lty in a western city hat simply will not
take in a girl who lives in a flat, and,
although he admits that there are many
high school fraternity boys and girls who
go about the world with a disposition to
mix up with the human race, even as Lin
coin did. still II Is contrary TO the teach

a warm place for few days. The
number that terminate can be used as
guide us to the amount of seed to
use per acre.
Ore reason why clover and alfalfa
are not more popular with farmers is
the difficulty Of curing the hay. If it
is left in the swath until dry enough to
the most valuable part, will become
so brittle that many of them will be
lost. y letter way is to go over the
field with de delivery rake as soon
as the leaves have wilted little and
throw the hay together in loose wind
rows. Handled in this way, it dries
evenly. and the leaves will not fall off
so easily. Hay cured in this way is
also less liable to be dusty than when
cured by direct exposure to the sun.
Once in awhile, even with the best Of
care, some Of the hay will be caught in
a rain. A hard rain on clover or al
falfa hay washes out much of the nu-
triment which it contains. Such hay
is hardly worth putting in the barn,
but may be made good use of for bed
ding. In this way it is mixed with
the manure, and the plant food which
it contains is returned to the soil.
Cowpeas and soy beans are to the
southern part Of the United States
what clover and alfalfa are to the
northern sections. They are grown
more as hay and forage than for the
grain. These legumes are also used in
some sections of the corn belt as catch
crops. If sown on early fall plowing
they prevent the soil from washing
and thus losing much of its available
plant food They may be pastured off
