Dr. Com,

.'It is obvious that the college professor
does not realize how catholic his duties
are To one who is familiar with the diff
fculties of management the manifold du-
ties carried on by the college professor
seem overwhelming. l saw a single indi-
vidual personally assume the direction of a
large building, including laboratories, ma
chine shops, power plants. etc.; MAINTAIN
order and discipline among seven hundred
at times boisterous spirits; direct and IN
spire a teaching force of a score Of rather
unusually able men; lecture on the most at
tenuated physical theories; keep in touch
with a large body of graduates; carry on
research work. etc. The high-priced presi-
dents of our railways. banks and steel
companies would not dream of performing
this variety of functions. They would re-
fuse to Go so because they know that they
could not do them we'll.

There are, however, here and there

WHAT MR.. COOKE FOUND.

After he had finished his visits he con-
cluded that there were many details which
would gain from the standardization OF
methods and greater cooperation among
lie higher institutions of learning on this
continent The lack of it he found espe-
ciaIlv noticeable in the financial admins
t-aiioa. which evidently was TO him par
ticuia-iy lax and behind the times. He
found Two forms OF manasement-the one

thought uneconomical and which he sllg-
eesIed ought 10 give way to the fuHc-
1iOraL, one Of the keynotes of the system
Of modern efficiency. Functional manage
rneut he described as giving 10 each man
zle duty for which he was best fitted and
eliminating the others. He thought there
was lack of intensiveness in one part OF
aduinisJration. coupled with oyerwork on
the part of another, owing TO the absence

SUGGESTIONS NOT NEW.

''The report shows many evidences OF lS-
norance OF educational history. 1t suggests
as novelties plans that have been, tried for
centuries and abandoned only after most
careful consideration Such, for example
is the suggestion that the rules for the con-
duct OF the students and the punishments
for their breach should be put into precise
form The collection of such rules from
the archives of the older universities WOULD
fill many volumes. Again, he says: II may
turn out that ultimately the matter OF ex-
aminations will be handled by an agency
outside of the department. This, to his
vision. is a far-of divine event to which
the whole educational creation is moving
If so, it is moving backward.
'.Mr Cookies remarks on the economic
use Of rooms and buildings are mostly emil
nently sensible although he contributes
nothing new to the discussion of very old

learning that lecture room in the depart

Roosevelt on His Return

New York, April 21.-Down on the
New York water front it was declared
that there was an unprecedented de-
mand for ocean going excursion boats
for June Is, when Theodore Roose-
welt returns from Europe. Shipping
men expect a harvest twice as great
as that reaped by the various steam
boat owners during the Hudson-Ful-
ton celebration.
Nearly every big organization-pa-
triotic, political and social-in the city
and scores of the other cities have
engaged or expect to engage steam
boats for June Is and there is a good
chance that there will not be boats
enough to go around at any price
Some of the greeting parties plan
to go far to sea and 1t is expected
there will be a race to be the first
to meet Colonel Roosevelt's steam
ship. Most of the ships will be equip
ped with wireless and some of the
welcoming organizations are planning
to distinguish themselves by the ad-
dition to their equipment of unique
noise making instruments, such as
fog horns and siren whistles.
While it is not yet known whether
any war vessels will come here to
take part in the naval parade move
ment is already on foot to have the
fort at the harbor entrance salute the
homecomer as he steams up the bay.

HUGHES GRANTS
HIS REQUIS|T0N
Frank N. HoffStot Must Re-
turn to Pittsburg.
INDICTED FOR BRIBERY

President of Pressed Steel Car Com
pany, Alleged to Be the "Man Higher
Up" in the Graft Scandals, Objected
to Being Taken to Pennsylvania, but
After a Hearing His Contentious
Are Overruled.
Albany, N. Y, April 21.-Governor
Hughes has granted the requisition
for the extradition to Pittsburg of
Frank N. Hoffstot, president of the
Pressed Steel Car company, who is
under indictment on a charge of con-
spfracy. Hoffstot claimed at a recent
hearing before the governor that he
was net a fugitive from justice and
In support of that claim testified that
he was not in the state of Pennsylva-
MIA on June 3, 1908, the date on which
the indictment charges the crime was
committed, but that on that date he
was in the city of New York. This
testimony the attorneys for the COM
monwealth of Pennsylvania did not at
tempt to contradict. They contended,
however, that the crime was not COM
mitted on the precise date mentioned
in the indictment, but during a period
extending through May and June, 1908.
Governor Hughes, in long opinion,
quotes the presentment Of the grand
jury and states that the finding in
substance was that on June 3, 1908,
Hoffstot conspired with Charles Stew
art, member of the select council of
the city of Pittsburg, and James
w. Friend, now deceased, ito defraud
the city of Pittsburg and procure by
the bribery of councilmen the selec-
tion of the Farmers Deposit National
bank of Pittsburg, Second National
bank of Pittsburg and German Nation

ries of the city"

Sioux Falls, S. D., April 21.-Late

The license element, with the COM
ing county option fight in view, say
they feel quite encouraged from the
fact that in five towns, Sioux Falls,
Deadwood, Lead, Huron and Yank-

than $500. Deadwood and Lead alone
show an aggregate increase for license

Anti-Union Victory at Lead.
Election interest in the Black Hills
centered around Lead, where the
struggle between the Homestake Min
ing company and the labor unions was
clearly defined and bitter. Lead polled
the largest vote in it's history, over
1890. The Citizens ticket, headed by
Harry Howard for mayor, was elected
by majority of 397 over the Labor
Union ticket, which elected one alder
man. Four Slavonians were arrested,
charged with illegal voting, but there
was no disturbance The municipal
court carried and license carried by
700.
In Deadwood Mayor Adams, on the
Citizens ticket, won by majority of
301, the Peoples ticket electing one al
derman. At Belle Fourche Mayor
Evans and the whole Citizens ticket
was reelected by three majority.
Rapid City, voting under the COM
mission plan, elected R. v. Jackson
mayor by three majority and as COM
missioners Dodge, Patton, Overpeck
and McElroy The voters defeated the
electric light franchise. Spearfish re-
elected Mayor Stebbins and the Citi-
zens' ticket by thirty.
