Would Be Autocrat Of Schools.

That the proposal of the state su-
perintendent of the schools of Wis
consin, as embodied in the Wehrwein
bill, win make him not only complete
autocrat of the high schools but will
give him power possessed by no other
state superintendent. namely, the con-
troll of admission requirements to the
state university and thus make il pos
sible for him to dominate both the
high schools and the university. was
the declaration of President Charles
r. Van Hise of the University of Wis
consin in a public hearing before the
legislature.
The proposed bill, President Van
Hise showed. would really make the
state superintendent determine the
nature of much of the work done at
the university; and inasmuch as the
proposed bill would admit students
not properly prepared, it would com
pei the university to do high school
work and thus increase the expenses
of the institution.
President Van Hise denied abso-
lutely that the university dominated
the high schools of the state. 1t is
not true. he said, that high schools
must shape their courses so as TO
meet the university entrance require
ments. The university requirements
at present. he pointed out, are more
elastic than those in the proposed bill.
which requires eight units of work
absolutely, whereas the university re-
quires only four units. and strongly
advises two other units in language.
The university from time TO time,
through conferences with the high
school principals and superintendent,
has modified its entrance require
ments to meet the needs of changing
conditions Only recently as a re-
suit of such conference faculty decid-
ed to accept four units of applied sci
ence, commercial studies or agricul-
ture, for admission to the university,
Such action by the university faculty,
President Van Hise declared, showed
that the university has adapted and
will continue to adapt the admission
requirements of the university TO the
high schools of the state
The superintendent and supervi-
sing high school principals of Wiscon-
sin, President Van Hise pointed out,
went on record last year with resolu-
tons in which they heartily approved
of the inspection of the high school
by both the state superintendent and
the university" and most earnestly
opposed any and all legislation that
would deprive the high schools of the
benefits of inspection by either the
state superintendent or the uniyer
sity."

SEES A PROSPEROUS YEAR
Charles M. Schwab Returns From Eu-
rope in Optimistic Mood Over
Business Outlook.

New York-Charles NJ. Schwab re-
turned on the Mauritania Friday from
his midwinter vacation in Europe a
more pronounced optimist as to the
world wide business outlook for the
year than he was when he left New
York three months ago.
Every sign points to an unusually
prosperous year, not only In the
United States, but throughout the
world said Mr.. Schwab. The de
preston that to greater or less ex-
tent extended around the world fol-
lowing our big panic of 1907. appears
to have been replaced by vigor Of
confidence and activity that augurs
well. Business in all lines Is boom
ing. and in nothing more than in steel
and iron. We could have no better
sign than this"

DESTROYER IS LAUNCHED
New War Vessel christened by Sister
of the Young Hero Whose
Name II Bears.

Newport News, Va. Christened
by Miss Eleanor R. Monaghan,
sister of the man after whom it is
named, the torpedo boat destroyer
Monaghan slipped down the ways at
the government shipyard, amid the
iuttering of flags. shrieking of whis-
ties and cheers of little knot
of prominent men and women assem-
bled to witness the event. The new
boat glided gracefully out upon the
waters of the Chesapeake, and was
caught by a government tug and tow
ed to an anchorage to await compile
ton.
The christening of the destroyer is
another tribute to the memory of En-
sign John Robert Monaghan, the Spo-
kane boy who sacrificed his life de-
tending his wounded officer in April,
1899. Young Monaghan, together with
Lieut.. Phillip V. Landale and a de-
tachment Of SO men, was sent ashore
on the island of Upolu, Samoa. Here
they were set upon by natives and
several of the force cut off from re-
treat. among them Monaghan and
Lansdale. Desperate attempts were
made to succor the little band, but the
natives successfully repulsed the res
cuing party and at last all were cut
down but Monaghan and his superior
officer. Then Lansdale fell wounded,
and, though he might have prolonged
his life by a retreat, young Monaghan
elected to stand by his officer, and
died in the heroic performance of his
duty. His action was lauded by his
commander, Captain White OF Phila-
delphia, and monument to his mem
ory. which stands today in a public
thoroughfare of Spokane, was erected
by the citizens of ais native state
