Of education which will send up to college
competent candidates will also send into
the business world we'll trained beginners -
President Pritchett would therefore sub
stitute for what he calls the present piece
meal" college entrance examinations. and
for high school certificates as entrance re-
quirements a few simple examinations
which shall demand a high order of eff
cheney i'm the fundamental studies While
most colleges at the present time are too
lax, he says. in their entrance require
ments and thereby injure secondary educa-
ton. "a few of the older and stronger insti-
tutions have gone TO the other extreme and
have demanded more than can fairly be
asked of student in four years of high
school work"
UnreasonabIy High Standards.

raised until they are no longer within reach
Of the standard four-year high school. un-
less that school be of the strict classical
type. I cannot regard such action as any
other than a misfortune to education and

He can see in this unreasonably high
standard Of knowledge I'm many subjects
required TO enter Harvard only an incen-
tive to cram the candidate for admission
with information which lasts him just long
enough to pass the examinations on the
other hand, he says:
'Imagine for q moment what an effect
would be produced if all tho candidates for
admission to Harvard and Yale, Columbia
and Princeton. were examined in elemen-
tary English and rejected altogether if they
proved unable to write good idiomatic Eng
lsh. This one step alone would go far to
shut out Of college a large proportion OF
the unfit and TO make the work OF the sec
ondary school sincere
President Pritchett expresses his appre-
citation of the great need Of trade schools
10 take the place of the old apprenticeship
system, but he would establish them sep
arately from the high school. He would
also make the normal school distinct from
university. college or high school, and
greatly increase its efficiency. And he
would have the different states appoint
commissions of experts to study their edu-
cational needs and correlate the WORK OF
colleges and high schools.

FIRE LOSS
New York State Capitol Prey
Of Flames During Early

PRICELESS RECORDS AND

ALBANY. N. Y, March 29.-New
York States magnificent S27 900, 900
capitol building is today the prey of
the fire fiend and its beautiful interior
is mass OF ruins. A fire which started
early this morning in the Assembly IL
brary, spread through almost the en-
tire building, destroying priceless
records, books and documents.
The flames, fed by inhammable
records and documents, spread rapidly
and the library was seething furnace
when the firemen arrived IN response
to an alarm at 2.46 o'clock
The ornate hangings and rich carved
mahogany furnishings of the library,
which is also used as the committee
room OF the Assembly Judiciary Com
mittee fed the flames and the firemen
at once realized that they were in for
a hard battle, IL they were to save the
massive building. Fire lines were
quickly drawn and the fire fighting ap-
paratus, Of the capitol was also i'm
pressed into service.
Firemen are Hampered.
The firemen were badly hampered in
their early operations and at o'clock
it was found that the flames had eaten
out into the corridor and along It to
the entry room of the Assembly cham
ber
Owing to the proximity of the State
Library, the firemen broke through an
airshaft and flooded it, The flames also
threatened the million dollar staircase
at the west end Of the capitol, con-
sidered one of the best examples of
mural work in the world.
The S1,000000 ceiling Of the western
staircase early fell a prey TO the
flames which then continued their
sweep along the corridor toward the
Senate chamber
Then the fire reached the elevators
near the State library and began to
sweep up the shafts. The fremen were
being assisted by every employe Of the
capitol who could be mustered into
service The newspaper men who were
among the first on the scene, also
joined in the fight
When at 1926 o'clock, the flames
! leaped across the elevator shaft to.
ward the State library. Fire Chiefs
Bridgeford and Walsh had three lines
of hose trained on II from the corridor
Falling stones from the ceilings anc
/ lying chips from the marble pillars
and walls greatly endangered the Ere
men and interfered with their work.
Valuable Papers Burned.
The fire quickly gutted the assembl,
library, destroying all bills, document
and papers, some of them dating as IA
back as 1776, These are irreplaceable
The library also contained all tn
works, documents of the codes am
the judiciary committee of the presen
session, including the Woman's SUI
frage bills. These were all destroyed
At $3.50 the FIRE entered the documer
room and It was quickly known to b
doomed. The flames ate up TO the roc
and swept about il, lighting the heay
ems and igniting other parts Of tn
capitol.
Five minutes later, the fire leape,
into the State Library with roai
and its inflammable contents wer,
licked up like oil in a furnace.

through and the firemen were unable
to penetrate to any point of vantag,
that would enable them to train theii
hose on the flames to success.
