The Idea that school teacher shall
have the power to weed out "undesir.
able" pupils and prevent them from
having the privilege of higher educa
tion Is spreading. Minnesota is a re
cent convert In the high schools OF
that State, according to a new rule
teachers shall decide what pupils shall
have the right to enter the University
OF Minnesota. The university authori
ties insist upon this rule. They esti.
mate that GA per cent OF the freshmen
who failed last year In university
work might have been kept from en-.
tering the university If the high
school teachers had had the right to
say IN advance whether they were TT.
ted for higher education. And, quot.
Ing the same official, 1T would pre-
vent two-thirds of those unified fol-

time" Whether the time spent In
college. even by the dullest of dunces
is actually wasted. is a mooted Ques.
tion. While the future results of such
rule are entirely problematic, we
may at least venture a more or less
prophetic guess by recalling the judg
ment passed upon some of our illustrl.

from the parish school as a Ounce fol-
whom there was no hope, and yet, not
withstanding the teachers contrary
opinion, English literature owes him
much. Isaac Newton, who was al.
ways at the bottom of his class, would
stand little chance of getting higher
education In Minnesota. Ounce he
is and Ounce he will remain" said
Professor Dalzell of Walter Scott, who
became the most distinguished of his
students. 1t was the collective opin
ion of Chas. Darwin's teachers that 6

school walls. Henry Ward Beecher
Geo. Moore, Adam Clark and innumer
able other historic ounces" mutely
protest against the folly of asking tn,

A DOuRhnut Hint.

Doughnuts are much improved II
they are coated with layer of sugar
as soon as they are taken from the
stove. The best way to powder them
Ia to put small amount of confec-
toners sugar in paper bag and put
several doughnuts in the bag at a
time and then shake the bag, holding
the top Of the bag closed. This will
coat them with sugar quickly and
more evenly than any other way.
