RIVALRY THAT CAN BE PUT
TO GOOD USE.

R. I. Crane. Of Chicago. Is one of
the most vigorous opponents the
higher education has ever drawn into
action, Just as Dr.. Eliot, for example.
Is one of the most eloquent cham
pens; but the debate might 90 on
for century without reaching any
conclusive termination.
There are certain indisputsbIe Vet
contrary facts. Many Of our most
successful men and women. engaged
in intellectual as well as commercial
pursuits, are seIf-trained- It cannot
be said that they are wholly self
made, since they have utilized knowI-
edge derived from Others; but their
development has been personally Or
individually conducted. 50 to speak.
On the other hand, the higher edUca-
ton IS apparently wasted on many
young men and roung women. Yet
1t would be as illogical TO say that
self-trained people are the ablest, be
cause some of-them have been amaz-
.ingly successful. as TO say that. be
cause some students fritter away
their time IN college or else find their
degree a very meager asset. the higher
education Is a failure. In the old days
the degree of Bachelor OF Arts was
thought necessary for anyone desir-
ing TO convert the Indian. while now
adavs, in many instances It seems
To have little more than a social value
Yet the stratum OF our national life
which the college graduates represent
is always a potential and very often
q practical power for good
However. It cannot be denied that
the personal equation counts for much
in the success made by all sorts Of
people knowledge Is power. and It
may be gained IN various wavs- The
main thing Is to acquire II and to put
II TO good use. In promoting that
very laughable and very necessary
form OF enterprise both Mr. Crane
representing the non college forces, and
Dr. Eliot, representing the other side,

WOOD RAT CARRIES GERMS.

Ofcfafls OF the Public Health and
Marine Hospital Service are alarmed 81
the latest discovery OF their agents in
California. that the wood rat Is a car
rier OF bUnonic plague germs
It was known already that the com
mon rat and the Beechy ground SPUR
rel were both subject to infection and
could transmit he dread disease 10 hui
man beings. and this latest discovery
fills the scientists with a new appre-
hensfou lest the plague become epidemic

Already thousands Of ground squirrels
and rats have ben slaughtered IN

ton. Il was IN connection with this

cry was made that the wood rat was

This makes q new link IN the plague

as an Intermediary in the TRANSMISSION

APPROPRIATING FOR A NEW
CITY POSTOFFICE.

Washington needs a new city post
office This Is admitted on all sides.
The need for such building Is realized
by the Appropriations Committees Of
Congress There seems 10 be a differ
ence OF opinion however. as to the
amount of money which Congress Is
willing to spend on the new structure
The plans which have received the
approval Of the Treasury Department
would call for an expenditure Of
S3.jO0OOO. Until the details of these
plans are made public It viii be i'm
possible to tell. OF course whether such
an outlay would be justified.
There Is every reason Why Congress
should deal generously with the Dis
trict IN tie erection Of a new post
office Tt viii not do 10 practice the
same kind Of economy on a city post
office in the Capital of the Nation as on
an appropriation for the Improvement
of rivers and barbOrs.
The building, If erected It all, should
be a credit not only 70 Washington,
but TO the nation It should be archi-
tecturaIly beautiful, and should har-
monte with the plans for the City
Beautiful The need for the new
building Is urgent. but unless we very
much mistake the sentiment Of the
people OF Washington they feel that
rather than have a new city pOstoffice
built out Of a small appropriation, and
IN accordance with the policy Of
economy Of the present Congress, they
would prefer to wait until Congress
can see its way clear 10 give Washing
ton a building which would be worthy
Of the city, and which would rank,
from an architectural standpoint, with
the House and Senate office buildings,
and with the other Government build
ings which will be erected within the
next few years
