MONEY BEING WASTED
rarncgie Foundation Investigates
Methods of Uniycrsitics.

Especial to The Times Dispatch
New York. December 1S.-To dscov-
er whether the best use Is made OF the
large stats of American universities
and whether their costly buildings and
plants are turned to the greatest ad-
vantage, the Carnegie Foundation has
recently sent Norris Llowellyn Cooke,
q member of the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers to visit a num-.
Der OF them and report on their or
ganization from the business mans
point of view. He made detailed
study of tho methods In force in the
departments of physics in the Univer-
stiles of Harvard Columbia, Wisconsin
and Princeton, in Haverford and Will
liatns Colleges and In the NIassachu-
sctts Institute OF Technology His
results are published in a bulletin OF
the Carnegie Foundation He has in
the course of 1t been content to allow
facts to speak for themselves. rather
than make direct criticisms, but he
runs foul of one or two cherished uni
Nersity institutions. such as the life
tenure of professors. the committee
system of management and the impor-
tancc put on research work.
Indeed, he asks by what authority
such large sums are expended in the
tions. and tells of one piece of research
work which had been In progress for
two years, which all but the professor
in charge pronounced absolutely use
less.
To some extent one has to read be-
tween the lines of the report to gain
the full benefit of Mr. Cookies senti-
ment 1 7 is to be seen that he does
not take favorably to the way some
departments, where little practical
knowledge is to be gained by the or
dinary student, .are spending money.
He points out the expense of many pro
fessors who are engaged In research
and of others who occupy positions
that mean very little to the education
of the ordinary scholar. While re-
search Is not criticized to any serious
degree. Mr.. Cooke is of the opinion
that some universities might spend
more money for the practical training
of its students and less In trying to
hnd something new, while It's students
perhaps have not been thoroughly
trained in courses that stand as an
urgent part of common day education.

TO CLEAR PORT
THIS MORNING
Owners Deny Hostile Mission,
but Runor Is Current That
Vessel Will Figure in Eff
fort to Overthrow Exist
ing Government of
Honduras.

New Orleans, La, December iS-The
former United states gunboat Hornet,
now living in the Mississippi River, at
this city, is making preparations to
clear this port tomorrow morning for
Central American waters. She Is be-
ing closely watched by United States
,narshals. Reports in Central Ameri-
can circles here say the Hornet Is to
aid in revolution TO be started In
Honduras by former President Manuel
Bonilia. The vessel is expected to
clear under command of Captain Y.
Johnson.
The Hornet has hurriedly slken
aboard zoo tons of coal and provisions
for thirty days.
That the visit here OF Dr. Salvador
Castrillo, former minister-general to
Washington from Nicaragua, has some
thing to do with the hasty clearing of
the Hornet and that the expense is be-
ing borne by him Is the report.
1t is rumored that the visit of for
mer President Bonilla to New Orleans
several weeks ago was for the purpose
of securing suitable craft that would
be of assistance In striking a blow at
the Davilla government
The vessel, according to her captain,
will clear for Cape Gracias IN ballast,
with crew of six firemen, four sailors
and several officers. At the time of
Bon!lla's visit the Hornet was owned
BY New Orleans firm, which bought
the boat from the government last
Year. 1t was about this time that the
vessel was purchased by a Mr.. Beer,
who owns five scilooners in the Cen
trail American trade
Repairs were started at once on the
Hornet, and she is now in trim shape.
She is to take the place of the schoon-
ers in the trade, according to her own
or. although he stated that the Hornet
is subject to sale, either before she
clears this port or after she reaches
Central American waters
1t has been runorcd that President
Estrada. of Nicaragua, would lend as
sistance to Bonilla. 1t is also reported
that General Lee Christmas is in on
the deal and is expected to take an
active part In the proposed revolution.
The attention of Federal officers was
called to rumors, and United States
Marshal Victor Loisel. with a force OF
deputies, has kept close watch since.
So far no violation of the Federal law
has been detected.
DR.. CASTILLO tonight made the fol-
lowing statement to the Associated
Press:
II was detained in New Orleans by
financial matters and Slight illness, and
will leave in the morning Tor Wash
ington, d. G. | came by way of New
Orleans from Nicaragua because 1t was
the shortest route, and my stay here
has had nothing whatever to do with
the reported pending Honduran revolu-
ton.
II know absolutely nothing of the
report that the Hornet is to sail to-
morrow morning. and ] am in no way
interested in her sailing should she
clear this port,
please say for me that l know
nothing whatever of any impending
revolution in Honduras"
