INDUSTRY AND EDUCATION.

For some years the tendency OF
young men seeking higher education
has been toward law and medicine.
Schools of these professions have in
creased in number ana the fields OF
occupation have become more over
crowded, says the Omaha Bee. Ger
tain new tendencies In industry and
the science of treating human Ills are
at work which suggest the possibility
of a change In the drift of the educa-
tional current. Public and private en-
terprtse are enlisted in a movement to
work out new cures for old Diseases
and improve sanitation throughout
the country. Vast progress has been,
and more will be, made. Along with
this, though distinctly apart from it,
goes the effort of the government and
private capital to harness nature for
the needs of industry; to open up irri-
cation and water-power plants for ag-
riculturaI and Industrial purposes. The
New York Times invites to the new
fields of scientific service the attention
of young men contemplating finished
educations. They are, undoubtedly.
prolific OF opportunities. What will the
effect be in these two channels? Will
the current be diverted from law and
medicine to that OF technical or sani-
tary engineering?

the position of his department that

ing and depends upon the particular
facts.

"hypocritical. demagogic prUgressives
who oppose every practical progress
sive policy put forth"
Senator Joseph l.. Bristow, who Is
-,sidered to rank second only to
Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin
among the progressives, followed Sec
rotary Fisher and quickly took up the
challenge.
An address by the secretary was not
do- on the program, but it furnished
the most interesting feature of the
day. When he arose and faced the
big crowd Mr.. Fisher was silent for
fully a minute Then he said slowly:
II am one of those that count myself
a progressive"
He was interrupted by applause
Il am a true progressive" he re
sumed, land believe in true progress
siveness and not in hypocritical OF
demagogic progressives who declare
for a progressive policy and then op
pose every practical progressive meas

SELLERS PANIC
 HITS JULY WHEAT

Chicago, June 12.-A sellers panic hit July whe today and at one time the price showed a fall of nearly Sc a bushel.
 Belief was widespread that the lead ing owners of cash wheat taken in on May contracts were selling the grain for July delivery and were going short of deferred months, anticipating the hedging of new crop wheat soon. Pre- paratory to such a maneuver today the bull clique apparently supported the market during the early trading and helped hoist prices.
 Then came a well directed effort to unload. Stop-loss selling orders from other sources, however, were brought into operation. In consequence prices dropped as much as 1sc between trades and prices tumbled to s6@SSbc, loss of about 3c cents from the top figures today and 21ae under Saturday nights close.
 The extreme low point touched was S5Bc for July. When the last gong cleared the pit there had been a re- action to S6as @S61zc.

The world is interested just now in the personalities of the royal family of Eng land and almost every journal prints stories of the foibles and fancies of the royal, couple or their children. In the latest tissue of Town and Country a correspondent from London has the fol- lowing:
 But, notwithstanding all the discipline of their upbringing the children of Queen Mary are human enough and often quite as naughty as other youngsters of theif ages, a fact of which the King is rather proud. He has been known to say there is nothing hopeless as child who Is a prig or too goody goody. Little Prince John, the baby of the royal family, hates water more than most children.

 Now that King George is setting the fashion of riding in Hyde park every morning, and the Queen without fail takes a carriage outing each afternoon when she is in town, the horsed carriage Is again in great favor, and people are at their wits end to find suitable horses for the high barouohe which has been so long discarded for the smart automobile. Undoubtedly during the summer it is this vehicle which will be the one of right eousness, because of the Queens prefer ence for 1t. Her majesty has a great eye for decorativeness and she has always been of the opinion that for certain pur- poses it is impossible to beat the carriage drawn by prancing steeds, though, like all the world. she approves of the motor for long journeys
