CASE SYSTEM or TEACHING
Almost Universal In Study Of Law
Nov Largely Used in Eco
norlics Courses.

Radical changes in the teaching Of
economics. consisting Of the introduc-
ton Of the case system, have been
made BY the department OF political
economy at the University Of Chicago,
says the News Letter Of that institu-
tion.
The case system was first employ
ed In the teaching Of law and Is now
Almost universally used in that sub.
lect. The object in introducing this
method into the teaching OF economics
Is to make the student think for him
self and solve problems in economics
as be would In mathematics.
The department at Chicago has pre-
pared a syllabus or outline which con-
sists Of about 1900 problems, and is
now engaged in printing a bi-weekly
bulletin made up exclusively Of orig
nal cases or material descriptive OF
our industrial organization.
At the final examination in the
course students are told to bring note
books. text books. outlines and any.
thing they wish and are allowed to use
them freely. The examination consists
entirely Of problems
The experience Of the department
proves the present method most sue
eessful. resulting in more individual
work on the part Of the students and
giving them better understanding OF
the subject.

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. ia
mistrial of the second hearing of
the Dr. Hyde murder trial appears
probable tonight.
Made desperate by the sight of
two of his children from whom he
had been separated for six weeks in
the court room last Saturday Harry
Walton, one of the jurors escaped
from the JURY hotel headquarters
early today. While Frank Aslee a
deputy marshal, who was on guard
slept, Waldron pried open sealed
transom, crawled through the open
ing, tip toed to the fire escape, and
leaped fifteen feet to freedom.
The entire city police force and
deputies have looked in vain. II
Waldron is not loated by tomorrow
night the eleven remaining jurors
will be discharged, or if the missing
man is found and cannot prove that
he has not discussed the case, dur
ing his absence, the same action
will be taken.
Fear of Suicide
Should he return In good health
and swear that he has not mentioned
the trial to anyone, the trial will
proceed. Fear that Waldron has
killed himself grows hourly.
Sunday was dull day for the
jurors. Some of them played games
and others read. Waldron sat alone
playing his old battered violin
Home, Sweet Howe" was his favor

again. 1t was on his lips when he
