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
all ost 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 he would in mathematics,
The department at Chicago has pre.
pared syllabus or outline which con.
s.sts of about 1900 problems, and is
now engaged in printing a bi-weekly
bulletin made up exclusively of orig.

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.
cessful, resulting in more individual
work on the part of the students and
giving them a better understanding Of
the subject.

pol" The Aryan stock, from which
Greek and Latin descended, had a
way Of emphasizing an idea by redu-

root syllable So probably after the
separation of the Greek from his Ash

reduplicated "pol' and made 'polpol"

Aryan hive long after the Greeks. They
carried 'populus' with them, but left
polls behind. The English descend

first night out from Denver he occu-

TO set It on the floor under his berth.
Along IN the night thought l heard

Chinese Traits.

The Chinese are orderly. law-abid-
ing and well-behaved; they have a
strong sense of right and justice-are
fair minded; they are reliable In com
mercial dealings-pay their debts and
keep their agreements, whether YER
bal or written; they are dutiful to
parents, fond of children and mindful
OF etiquette and punctilious about re-
turning courtesies or favors; they are
respectful to elders and superlors;
they honor and respect character and
intellectual ability, and do not recog
nize an aristocracy of wealth This
list might be largely extended, but it
is enough to show what have under
taken to show-~-that China has not b.
any means to seek abroad all the
requisites for national greatness and
popular welfare; some Of the most i'm
portant are here already.-Address to
students of St. Johns college, Shang-
hal.
