Through memorial presented to
the president of the Carnage Foun-
dalton for the Advancement of Teach
ing, Andrew Carnage, its founder,
has been asked by fifteen repesen-
tative college presidents to revise the
list Of colleges eligible to the foun-

are called sectarian are no longer
so in spirit, accepting as they do,
students of any or no denomination.

The fact that more than a hum
dred freshmen in western college
have been obliged to enter a spelling
class, because each OF them mis-
spelled twenty or more words from a
list Of two hundred of no great diff
ficulty, has led to some inquiry at
other colleges. OF ten prominent
institutions of learning, one reports
that one-tenth are poor spoilers, and
two declare that they must put one
fifth into that category. OF the others
some say that the spelling is fair,
one declares it to be atrocious, and
three say that the standard is high.
The pupils in the technical schools
are much poorer spoilers than those
IN the colleges.

The fealty of some men to the
traue union was illustrated down at
Danville, ILL.,, when a miner made
application for naturalization papers.
The court asked the miner, Brooks,
by name, If such thing should hap
pen where the laws of the state and
the laws Of the union should clash if
he would support the law. Brooks
answered with some feeling that he
would follow the instruction of the
union. The court thinking the min
er might not have fully understood
the question, propounded the query
twice afterward and each time ELI
cited the same reply. The court
then refused to admit him as citi-
zen of the United States, expressing
the opinion that man who had no
more regard for the laws of this
country than expressed by the miner
should not be allowed to become a
citizen. The miner, it is said, was
urged by friends to reconsider his
statements, and acknowledged that
he would obey the laws of this coun-
try. Even under those circumstan-
ces the miner ought to be barred,
for he fully and freely answered the
questions of the court.

1t is not often that we hear Of
the compulsory education law be-
Ing enforced to. the point to where
the fine was imposed. Such was the
case down in Hutoheson county and
1t took place out in the rural dis
tricts. The teacher filed a complaint
that two Of the patrons of the school
were not sending their children to
the school and he proposed to nnd
out why. after repeated efforts had
been made to secure their attend
ance. The father OF one Of the
children was convinced that he was
wrong and paid a fine of $11.70. The
other farmer stood trial on the casa
and thought he could convince he
court that he had q right to keep
his children at home. The excuse
he offered to the court was tina: the
weather was stormy and 80 much
rain prevailed. and that early In
the fall he kept his children home to
herd the cows and husk the corn.
The court held that under the law
this did not stand rs any excuse for
keeping the children out Of school.
The court fined the school patron
$1,000. and he added that he hoped
that this would serve as lesson to
others IN the community who might
have . desire to avoid sending their
children to school, At least 90 much

The commission plan was first
established in Galveston as an emer-
gency measure, at the time Of the
great disaster which practically de-
stroyed the city. The commission
took hold at time when the city
was In ruins, the police demoralized,
the citizens paralyzed, the treasury
bankrupt and an appalling burden Of
debt resting upon the municipality.
The commission promptly restored
order. gave to the people such pro-
lection as they never before enjoyed;
rebuilt the public works, replenished
the treasury. reduced the taxes, paid
the debt, and when the time came to
turn the government back to the old
charter methods the public would
not have it. The commission con-
tinues In control and If the results
are not above criticism, conditions
are at least 80 much better than ever
