THE sUGGEsrION OF A SLAB.

There was something very tomb
stony about the gift OF marble slab
to the Contributing Editor on Friday.
1t was presented by the officers OF
the Appalachian Exposition to be held
in Knoxville this Fall. 1t was carried
in q suitcase and was suitably In
scribed. as marble slabs frequently
are. and 1t was accompanied by eight
persons OF prominence, all active bear
ers. that being about the number
usually selected for occasions Of tho
sort we have in mind. There was a
certain suggestiveness in the offering
which person OF nervous tempera-
ment would not care to think about
after the days work is done and all
the lights are put out.
1t will DO many a long day, 1t Is
hoped, before slab of any sort will
be needed In the case Of our distn-
guished contemporary; but as somo-
thing of the sort Will be required In
the course Of time, there would be
no harm In looking them over. The
Tennessee marble takes and holds a
very nice polish. and is said to be
easily worked.

ON THE NORTH CAROLINA LIST.

Tho Columbia State is entirely right
when It says that "only the most ex-
otto and tropical imagination could
suggest that Alfred B. Williams Is
North carolinian. Though born In Virr
gina, Alfred B. Williams was brought
up SO long in Greenvillc. s. c., that he
can never get over 1t. He does not
wish to get over 1t. Besides, tho Char
lotte Chronicle can't spell. Mr.. Will,
liams is no Idol He Is an Idyl' Bless
him!"
AS matter Of fact, however. Will
liams was brought up in Charleston,
not in Greenville. He Is more OF a
South Carollnian than he is a Virgin
ian, but there is no help for 1t. North
Carolina has claimed him, and some
patriotic society or other is dead sure
to put up a tablet to him. We hope
that they will not wait until after he
is dead. but that they will build tho
monument at once.

ICE CREAM IN NEW ENGLAND.

that she who eats of ice cream par

true that DR.. Wiley does not condemn
ice cream and that he only maintains
the presence of danger in the stuff
which is called ice cream, but even
upon this point the Register admits
that only sin part at least he is right.
But our contemporary objects, In

In0 American Inv SCHOOL ISeNleN
has been conducting a canvass in the
different law schools of the country, as
TO tho merits OF tho honor system in
regard to examinations. This system
simply puts man on his honor when
he is standing an examination not to
cheat or help another man: watchers

obtains Ia many institutions. and orig
mated at tho University Of Virginia,

replied to tho question: Would tho
honor system In connection with oon-
Quoting examinations prove success
full In your school, or II 1t Is now in
effect, Ia It q suooessp" -Four hun
dred and hfty-one students answered
tho question In tho affirmative, while
forty-two were recorded on tho mega
/ tive side OF the proposition SO far as
tho reports show no negative replies
were made by students at schools
where the honor system prevails. Stu
dents at the University of Virginia and
at the Washington and Loo University
were most emphatic In their suppor
OF the system.
Actual experiences with the honor
system .sustains the belief that tho
verdict OF these students is a sound
one Some educational experts hold
that tho substitution OF student con-
troll of examinations for faculty con-
troll in this way Is unwiso; but the
facts do not bear out their conten-
tion. True. there Will be dishonora-
bio men. under the honor system; but
they are more easily detected and
more severely punished than under
the system of faculty espionage. for
cheat is much more likely to be found
out by his fellows than by the profess
sor. Student trials are usually i'm
partial and just, and IL a man is gull
ty, out Of college he goes, no matter
who he is
To put man on his honor is to
trust him. When SO trusted he feels
some responsibility in matter
touching his honor; and it becomes
for him more than a mere name. The
ftbrc-of-tIte man Is strengthened under
the honor system. 1t is positive In
fuence, working upon him; while the
espionage system is simply negative.
1T is a system by which the young
man at the very beginning Of his le-
gal education is brought to realize
that in the crucial test to which he is
subjected by examination he Is not to
be watched as q suspect or guarded
as felon, but he is to be allowed to
work ont his own salvation and his
own examination with a simple reli-
ance by those in authority, on his
pledged honor that it will be done
without assistance from any source.
If at the very threshold of his profes
sional education and all through 1t
he realizes shat n system Of espionage
is necessary to keep him from doing
wrong, and that, adopting the Spartan
idea, he may be guilty of any theft II
only he omit the sin of detection,
what must be the effect upon him
when the system is withdrawn and he
IS ushered into the broad fields OF pro-
fessional life, with no one then to
watch him in his dealings with his
client and with no eye upon him eX-
cept the Eye that never slumbers nor
