compliments have been paid TO other
local Federal office holders. They en-

1IALLEY's COMET.

The arrival within the range Of
human vision OF Halleys comet is one
OF the great astronomical features Of
the present year 1t is the first comet
to become visible since 1882. II has al
ready been photographed at Flagstaff,
Arizona although its nearest approach
to the earth will not occur until about
the 18th of May. The comet will be
visible to the naked eye all summer;
ii Will have a portentous tail extend
Ing over one-sixth OF the heavens. 1t
will be seen right after sunset.
Scientists are hoping TO be able to
learn something about the constituents
of comets, by means of spcctroscopic
analysis. There Is very little exact
knowledge on this point. But the sup
position IS that they are made of the
same Ingredients as other heavenly
bodies that are better known.
1t speaks well for the advancement
of our age that people are not look
ing forward to the visit OF this wand
erer with mlsgivings and dread of the
future. A few hundred years ago as
trologers would have INDUCED in dread
predictions for the entertainment and
edihcation OF superstitious towards.
Today we hear OF no such prognoGtica-
tions, A London astrologer deems 1t
prudent TO defer prophecies until the
comet shall be visible to the unaidcd
eye" The line OF its right ascension
when II first becomes visible will. "af-
ford ground for judging as to Its i'm
port. II may affect the horoscopes of
the rulers of Russia and Spain. and
may indicate serious trouble in the Far
East. If not nearer to Europe. We trust

RESISTING DEsPoTIssI.

The cabinet crisis in Turkey seems to
to bow to the dictates of the self
constituted party committee that
claims the right to govern both the
parliament and tho cabinet.
The government wished to grant a
concession to an English company
giving IL the exclusive right TO naviga-
ton on the two historical rivers. the
Tlgris and Euphrates- The leaders OF
the committee opposed the conces-
sion for the reason that the cabin ct
refused to lay the convention before
the chamber for ratification. A rcso-
luton to that effect was passed some
weeks ago in spite of the fervent pro-
tests of the minister of finance, who
argued that the economic develop
ment OF the empire would be seriously
hampered II every commercial conces-
sion had to be submitted to parliament

ed firm. and the resignation of the
ministry followed.

A LESSON FROM ARGENTINA.

A lesson In educational Ideals and
practice. OF especial significance to all
OF the younger American States. comes
10 us from Argentina.
In new countries, the systems of edu-
cation when once established, are like
" to rise more rapidly Into excellence
than In older communities.
Getting into a groove and then lind

it. has been the almost uniform history
of educational progress In most of the
leading nations

months as a special student in the
department of law and social science.
speaks very highly of the lofty stand

revcrent spirit of all that is lasting In
education. all OF which he found.
strangly enough in the recently es-
tablished university of that South
American city. Mr., Chandler says that
the medical school is one of the largest
and best equipped in the world, while
the carefully arranged and admirably
maintained library of the faculty OF
law and social sciences is rich in tho
standard legal works of the United
States, England. Spain and OF Latin
America He thinks that few countries
have a greater national asset than has
Argentina In this university.
II will surprise most people to learn
that the university has now 1854 stu

letters, 21O: faculty of medicine. 2,S0l;
faculty of exact physical and natural
sciences. eo2; total, 4,3e4. The most inn
portant event during the year was the
incorporation of the National Agro-
nomic and Veterinary Institute which
was founded In 1904. The new faculty
of as,ronomic and veterinary science
was founded with the university In
that year It's Importance is expected
to increase rapidly as the exponent of

many years to come. the chief sources
OF national wealth in Argentina A very
complete course OF study is prepared,
and everything is being done to
strengthen the teaching staff and to
improve the opportunities for the prac-
tical education OF the students.
New countries should not follow too
closely the standards OF education that
are in vogue In tho older ones More
than one Eastern educator has strong
ly advised the West to keep out of
the bondage of Eastern educational
traditions. 1t IS easy to go with the
stream. and the tendency of education
IS to copy But independence and
originality In methods of school and
college training and in tho courses of
study have nearly always resulted In
definite improvement. Tho result is
that school trustees and boards OF edu-
cation should always listen 10 the sug-
restions OF wide-awake and strong
teachers. II is these only who per-
ccive clearly what the schools need.
The remarkable development of the
University of Buenos Ayres shows
what new countries can do In education
when once the people make UP their
minds and engage in the attempt.

UTlcr this regime contracts were
given away without advertising for tho
