The Carnegie Pension and the
Colleges.

There is disposition to reflect
unduly upon the executives of the
Carnegie foundation providing pen
sions for retired professions.
George Washington university of the
District of Columbia has been with
drawn from the list of institutions
enjoying the benefits of its pension
provisions. The charge is made
that the Carnegie management is
undertaking to exercise control over
institutions enjoying it's benefac-
tions. The remarks of President
Pritchett of the Carnegie foundation
fund that George Washington uni
versity had shown 'lone administra-
ton" of it's college of political sci
ences has led our paper to say: at
is interesting, by the way, that Mr.
Carnegie's agents should take so
deep an interest in the political sci
ence department of a university on
their pension list, Why political
science rather than languages, or
botany, or astronomy? Is it because
plutocracy feels itself more vitality
affected by what political science is
taught, and how it is taught, than in
other lines of university work?"
President Pritchett said in his let
ter to the George Washington Uni
versity trustees: "The committee
further calls your attention to the
extract from the rules for the adj
mission of institutions. The trus.
tees of the Carnegie foundation for
the advancement of teaching reserve
the right to discontinue the privilege
of participation in the system of
retiring allowances of the founda-
ton whenever, in the judgment of
the trustees, an institution ceases to
conform to the regulations main
tanned by the trustees. The executive
committee feels compelled also to
protest against the extraordinary
action of the institution in forcibly
retiring two professors, both of whom
are in the prime of their active
teaching, on the ground that the in
stitution needs to save money by the
retiring allowance system"
The president also declared that
revenues of the institution had fall
len below the prescribed amount and
that its standards of admission were
not maintained. 1t is plain on the
face of it that rather than interfer-
ing with the teaching of political
economy in this university the man
agement of the fund is drawing
away from it on account of a broken
contract. The retirement of pro-
fessors before the age limit is
reached in order to get a slice of
the Carnegie pension fund cannot
be justified. 1t is rather of a cheap
act to cast reflections at a merito-
rious charity because of some hitch
in matter of detail.

Some Valuable Pearls.

OF all the articles of luxury known
to the Romans pearls were most val
ued. They were worn by all classes.
The famous pearl earrings which be-
longed to Cleopatra are said to have
been worth $4,000, and julius Caesar
presented the mother of Brutus with
pearl for which he paid $4,000. 1t
has been said that one of the reasons
why julius Caesar invaded Britain was
the wish to become master of the
pearls which were supposed to abound
there, surmise incorrect, for few
pearls Of value have been found In
Great Britain

THE TERCENTENARY OPPOR-
TUNITY.

This week Vermont keeps open
house. Thousands of visitors at
tracted by the observances of the
Tercentenary occasion, are within
our borders. At this season of the
year nature is in her loveliest garb,
and her welcome is spontaneous
and universal. The consideration
Of events which took place here 900
years ago, will interest citizens and
visitors alike, and it is we'll that
they should be recalled, but present
surroundings and the sights and
sounds of today will make a more
lasting impression upon those who
visit the Green Mountain state at
this time.
The hour has come for Vermont
ers to put into vigorous practice
the theories of those who have
sought to cultivate ambition for a
New Vermont. 1t will be our own
fault if the strangers within our
gates, those who pass through our
villages and along our romantic
highways are not impressed with
cur thrift, our enterprise, our SPLEEN
did advantages and opportunities,
our good nature and hospitality.
These visitors will see us as we
really are when we are at home. 1t
is ours to impress them with the
UDmistakable fact that Vermont is
an ideal place of residence, that for
healthfulness 1t cannot be surpass-
ell, that it produces men and wo-
men of splendid character, that it's
