Railways in China.
From Van Norden Magazine

The existing railways in China proper,
not including Russian and Japanese lines
in Manchuria approximate 100 miles.
With the exception of the German rail-
way in Shangtung, measuring some $50
miles. these lines are owned by the
Chinese government, although the most
of them were built by foreign capital and
consequently are under foreign supervi-
sion. While Young China is animated
with the progressive spirit, the native in
weston is negligible quantity. and the
time-honored practice of peculation among
the officials is such that foreign capital
lists do not feel secure to invest in
Chinese railways under unrestricted
Chinese management
To solve this embarrassing problem
England. in financing the Imperial rail-
ways of North China, devised an arrange
ment which may well be taken as modeF
for the future This system was built
under the supervision Of British engineers
and at present a British engineer-in-
chief and a British accountant, are in
cluded among the chief officials respon-
sible for it's administration. Besides, the
Chinese government WAS required to con-
struct with its own capital a section of
the system sufficient TO be offered as
security to the foreign subscribers to the
loan.

Ten thousand people camped that night

river swarmed with people and glittered
with camp fires Wednesday the citizens
committee Of fourteen went to the town
ship line running east and west on Reno
avenue and made 1t the southern boun-
Diary line OF their work. The enormous
crowds followed them from lot to lot, as
they slowly proceeded to adjust the in
dividual rights thereto. In a great many
instances there would be a squatter on
each end of the lot and a third man hold
ing it down in the middle. The commit
tee would hear the story of each claim
ant, and then by vote decide to whom
the lot would go. The person receiving
the lot paid the committees treasurer the
sum Of 81 to defray the expense of the
survey.
The crowd became so dense that Gen
Merritt was appealed to and asked for a
detail Of militia to keep the committees
way clear. The commanding general
promptly complied with the request, and
until Thursday afternoon a number of
soldiers with fixed bayonets held the
crowd back and gave the committee room
to work. Saturday morning the survey
of the citizens committee reached Main
street, where they encountered the first
real opposition. The surveyors would
put down their stakes and the settlers
would Immediately pull them up The
excitement was high for a time and Sc

Uses Of the College.

What should lad go to college for-for
work. for the realization of a definite aim
for discipline and severe training of his
| faculties, or for relaxation, for the release
and exercise of his social powers, for the
| broadening effects of life in sort of
miniature world in which study is only
| one among many interests? That is not
| the only alternative suggested by recent
| discussions. They also suggest a sharp
alternative in regard to the character of
| the study the college student should un-
| dertake. Should he seek at college gem
eral discipline Of his faculties, a general
awakening to the issues and interests Of
/ the modern world, or should he, rather
seek specially and definitely to prepare
himself for the work he expects to do
after he leaves college, for his support
| and advancement in the world? The two
alternatives are very different. The one
asks whether the lad does not get as
good a preparation for modern life by
being manager of a foot ball team with
| a complicated program of intercollegiate
games and trips away from home as by
becoming proficient in mathematics or in
history and mastering the abstract tasks
of the mind; the other asks whether he
is not better prepared by being given the
special skill and training of a particular
calling or profession, an immediate drill
in the work he is to do after he gradu-
ates, than by being made a master of his
own mind in the more general fields Of
knowledge to which his subsequent call
ing will be related, in all probability, only
as every undertaking is related to the
general thought and experience Of the
world.
Learning is not involved. No one has
ever dreamed of imparting learning to I'M
dergraduates. 1t cannot be done in four
years. To become a man of learning Is the
enterprise of lifetime. The issue does
not rise to that high ground. The Ques-
ton is merely this, do we wish college
to be first of all and chiefly, a place of
mental discipline or only a school of gem
eral experience; and. IL we wish it to be
q place of mental discipilen, of what sort
do we wish the discipline to be-a general
awakening and release of the faculties or
a preliminary initiation into the drill of
particular vocation?
These are questions which so to the
root Of the matter.

the trend of opinion In the direction we
are working. Mr. Root said that the peo-
pie of the country are coming to the con-
clusion that in certain important respects
| local laws of the separate states have
| become inadequate for the control of the
business and activities which extend
throughout all the states, and that such
power of regulation and control is grad
ually passing into the hands of the ma
tional government. While Mr.. Root did
not refer specifically to the matter of
highways, his opinion is exactly in line
| with our contention that the federal gov
should control the highways of the coun-
try in so far as interstate traffic Is con-
cerned. From such an eminent authority
as Mr.. Root the opinion is extremely sig
nifioant"

usefulness is strongly emphasized by the
many performances in hill climbing, tour

models of the stock cars that competed

events of the year. and some Of the orig

adoption of certain standards by the
members Of the A. L. A. NJ. the new
model of a licensed maker does not have
to be put through years of preparation
before it Is entered In competition with
other cars. Recently there have been
victories won by certain makes Of cars
that had scarcely competed In previous
