rules grows up n disposition in each
State not only to insist upon their OBJ

be hoped, a system Of law founded
on international custom will come into
being which will command q degree OF
respect among the nations analogous to
that which the common law Of imme-
mortal custom commands In England

The glory Of the college athlete and
the lowly station Of the college grind

cepted customs OF the country, though
attempts To revive an undergraduate
enthusiasm for intelligence are always
being made: and Of late we seem to have
heard a good deal of the combination
Of high scholarship and prowess in
sports. The news Of it, IL II exists, has
not reached the schools. az least those
which Americans call private and the
English public. These largely devoted
to training boys to enter college, natur-
ally reflect the college ideals. which in
that respect are the general ideals.
The Rev. HENRY FERGUSON. rector of
st. Pauls School at Concord, y. II. puts
one schoolmaster' view Of the matter
vigorously and freshly in the report
from which some extracts are reprinted
in this mornings SUN. He would have
the undergraduate department Of the
colleges abolished, apparently in the
hope that boys would work hard in the
school just as the careless. easy under
graduate. after being endowed with a
sheepskin, labors diligently in the law
school or medical school.
Even those who do not share in Mr.
FER0rsoN's mono the less refreshing
opinions about the barrenneas OF gen.
eral culture would like to see the best
public and private schools able to do
the work essentially preparatory. so
much OF it still bclated or sporadic. of
the college. but what chance il there Of
such a thing? Is IL any more likely
that the schools will become colleges,
schools? Are boys who are getting
their whole education in school and
have no expectation OF going IN college
any more hospitable % the intellectual
and less bent on athletics than boys

Be these things a. they may. Mr.. FER
GUsoN Expresses with force and origi-
nality his opinions. which are the fruit
Of competent experience and a mind
given to serious studies. He has been
q college professor. He knows the I'M
dergrad,iats as well al the schoolboy.
Yet we may gather from our own OBJ
servations as well as by implication
from his remarks that What is at fault

Of parents. Our too much forgotten
