Scholarship Should Be Goal.

Because of the comparatively poor
showing made by private schools in
the recent scholarship awards at Har-
ward the Alumni Bulletin takes occa-
sion to upbraid those who devote all
attention to attaining prominence
along social and athletic lines, 1t Wig
orously condemns the attitude of many
men toward college activities in gen.
eral and studies in particular It de-
clares that scholarship should be the
one goal. In substance it says: why
Is the percentage of good scholars SO
low among the men who have come to
Harvard college from the private
schools of New England" and then
answers the question by saying: THE
graduates Of this school tell us they
are not high scholars because they do
not aim to be. They strive for some
thing else. They prefer to measure
their success by a prominence attained
in undergraduate activities, not di-
rectly connected with the curriculum,
and believe that they thereby lay a
better foundation for success in after
life"
The Alumni Bulletin goes on to say
that such an explanation may pass
muster. but as justification it does
not; that If there should be any VINO
think it is the men OF social and ath-
lctic prominence and not the scholars,
WHO fare best in. the walks of life
after graduation. they are mistaken,

Orchard Supervision by State.

State Toologist Surface announced
that the demonstrators would be en-
trusted the coming season with the
supervision Of about 1000 orchards. the
largest number ever placed under the
care Of the state and including every
county %~
This supervision includes inspec-
tons and advice and assistance to far
mers and fruit growers for the exterm-
ination Of San Jose scale and other
pests which annually cost that state
hundreds Of thousands of dollars. and
wherever possible owners of orchards
will be shown how to take effective
preventive measures in this direction.
Three hundred oschards are listed for
visits to be made by the demonstrators
in February or March before the buds
burst. This work. which has been in

not be practicable to so into the mat

but do not conditions warrant the en-

Id An almost incredible case Of super
1tition comes from Hungary, where
the villagers Of Rihal, near Cross

dAvil. Tip place has never before ex-
periencad IN earthquake. but the other
day a series Of violent shocks shook
the peig11borhood. some being SO vio-
lent that the church bells rang. The
villagers were greatly alarmed and
consulted an old woman quack of the
place, who declared that the shocks
were the gIpans Of the devil, who suf-
fered cold and hunger. Thereupon
tho peaaants threw number of calves
and goats in TO chasm outside the
village to apl,ease the devils hunger

the bar and men OF high rank in other
professions.
To lead ones class in scholarship
in the years which we remember,
seems to have been in the great ma
jjority of cases the passport to
greater distinction, but to be the
leader of social activities in the
school frequently leads to the dis
tinction of being the head of cotil-
lion or OF being obliged to marry for
money and to live upon some business
mans bounty. To excel in athletics
leads to such examples of distinction
as We're reported from Reno, Nevada,
last fifth Of JUL.
1t is an easy thing, as President
Roosevelt said, Wednesday night, fin
his lecture at Harvard, to criticize
and to lay down. rules for others to
work by. but it is not so easy to get
into the game and do things. The hon
est criticism Of every thoughtful man
is entitled to respect and consideration.
but the chronic kicker has no place
in tie progressive affairs of today.

point which he made was III re-
lation to OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES capacity
acquired in one study can be trans
felred to another. So far as his eX-
perilnonts went, it would seem that
it could not be, but SO far as capac-
ity depended upon the method pursued
in the study, it is transferable to q
considerable extent, to studies in
which the same method is used. So
far as it is concerned with the amount
of intensive work put into subject,
the capacity acquired is transferable
to an indefinite amount.
Logically, then, the capacity for So
cial excellence acquired by intensive
cultivation of the banquet room and
the dance hall could not be trans
ferred to any considerable extent to
use in professional and business at
fairs. because they cannot be APP
preached by the same method. Hence
any institution a'hich is converted in
to a social club cannot long maintain
its record for furnishing the govern
mont with leaders and the people with
business and professional men.
