The life of the sheepherder has been

full life in the open air could not be

Baker county. where the streams are
full Of trout and quail are abundant. 1t

the only thing against the occupation
is it's name, that for some unknown
reason has got into disrepute.''

AMERICAS GREAT END0WMENTS,
The Carnegie Foundation for Advancement of Teaching
By Frederic ]. Haskin
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

When Andrew Carnegie decided to es-
tablish a great fund for the pensioning Of
teachers engaged in the higher educa-
tional institutions of the United states,
Canad and Newfoundland his motives
were less those Of charity than OF bet
tering the educational standards of Amer
lea. He sought to make the profession
of teaching more attractive by giving 1t
rewards commensurate with its impor-
lance, and thus attracting to 1t more
capable men, and In return for this he
planned to have the foundation insist to
the limit Of its power upon the inst1tu-
tons which would receive benefits from
the foundation measuring up to the
standard the foundation would set.
1t was in this way that he expected to
see IT converted from a mere fund for
helping worthy men IN their old age into
one that would stapd for the advance
ment Of teaching, the while affording
this help as well. That the trustees of
the foundation are succeeding In making
the fund stand for all that the name i'm
plies is clearly shown by the work that
has been accomplished The most nOta-
BILE result has been the Punishment from
the realm of respectability In the educa-
tional world of those pseudo educational
are awarded for money and not for merit
Illuminative OF this result is the work
done In the Investigation of the medical
schools OF this country. Primarily this
work of investigation was conducted to
ascertain just what schools are worthy
to be placed In the list of institutions
whose teachers ought to be entitled to
the benefits of the pension system of the
foundation. But while IL was being done
there was revealed a long list of so-called
medical colleges which had neither the
facilities nor the ability TO fit men for the
practice of medicine. Where, m 1908,
there were leo medical colleges in the
United States. with a total enrolment
of 26.147. and with $500 graduates for
the year: in 1910 there were only 10
such schools, with total enrolment of
10. 1856 and 4.cI3 graduates. Twenty-Five
ill-fitted schools passed out of existence
in single year.
At the time the Carnegie foundation
brought out its report upon medical edu-
cation in the
Report Works Reform United States
In Medical Schools. saso had u more more
proprietary medical schools than any
other city in the world. The report
pointed out that no effort had been made
to compel those schools to live up to
the requirements of the law with regard
to entrance examinations. and, although

such institutions. The expenses Of ad-

such institutions. The expenses Of ad-
ministering the foundation are a little
more than $4,000 year.
The total number Of beneficiaries of the
foundation on the rolls last September
was 373, and the general average of their
retiring allowances was $1,6S1.3O per
year. The rules under which teachers
are retired or their widows given pen
sions are broad and comprehensive. In
the first place the requirement regarded
as the first essential Is that the teacher
shall have been connected with an insti-
tuition which requires for entrance grad
uation from a four-year high school
course or equivalent training No insti-
tuition making religious test, either in
the choice Of trustees, officers or teach
ers, or for the admission of students. or
teaching UNCONVENTIONAL doctrines or ten
cts, is eligible. An institution not SUD-
ported by taxation must show an en-
dowment of $4,000 over and above in
debtedness to be eligible, and those sup
ported by taxation must enjoy an annual
income of 100000.

Will Employ Aeroplanes.

Two military aeroplanes, one for each
side. will take part In the event and will
probably soar over New York city during
the conflict. Capt. Charles de F. Chand-
Ter. who Is in charge of the aviation
school at College Park, Nd, will super
wise the operations of the aeroplanes.
Orders have already been issued for the
flying squad to report at Bridgeport,
Conn.,. August l to take part in the
war" Besides Capt Chandler there
will be Lieut. Roy C. Girtland, Lieut..
Thomas de w. Milling and Lieut.. Arnold
as representatives of the aeronautic
branch Of the army. A detachment Of
the Signal Corps will also be on hand.
Plans for the attack on New York
city have been completed by the strateg-
lists Of tho War College, although Capt.
Matthew e. Hanna Of the general staff
devised the general scheme. 1t is plan
ned to have the attacking force mobilize
at New London and Boston and proceed
to q point not yet designated on the

Mr.. Carnegie,
Gift of 100000 whose first gift
To Start the Work. teacher. in tax
supported schools and state universities
from participation therein. decided that
they should be provided for as well as
teachers in the other higher Institutions;
therefore he announced an extra gift OF
$5.O0O.co0 Since that time over $1.oOO.O 600
has been accumulated in unexpended in
come. so that the total capital OF the
foundation is now over $16.OOO.OOO. Mr..
Carnegie has not turned over all OF the
later gift as yet. but the income Of the
foundation from the total capital in hand
now amounts approximately to 100000
a year. OF this amount $341. 600 goes to
the pensioning Of teachers In institutions
measuring up to the foundation require
ments and $4,000 to widows of teachers
of these institutions.
The trustees Of the foundation recog-
nized that there were teachers in insti-
tutions which do not meet with the re-
quirements Of the foundation who deserve
the pension, so 1t gives $122, 0O6 annually
in retiring allowances and pensions to
them as Individuals, and $4,000 to wild

Of the fourteen medical colleges Of the
western metropolis
What has been done toward purging
the country of those medical colleges
which were unworthy of the name is
also being done toward advancing the
standing of legal education The investi-
cations of the foundation lead to the
conclusion that the legal profession is
badly overcrowded. and that this is made
possible largely through the existence of
inferior law schools When the investi-
cation into the annual supply Of physi-
clans was made by the foundation 1t
was shown that an annual graduating
class of 1900 would furnish an abundant
supply of new physicians to fill the places
left vacant by death and otherwise and
also to keep pace with the growing de-
mands Assuming, and the foundation
declares this an obviously extravagant
assumption. that the proportion of law
yers to the total population ought to be
as great as the proportion Of physicians,
1t would require only LOO new lawyers
annually to maintain even the present
crowded state Of the legal procession.
And yet the foundation finds an annual
output OF more than 1000 new lawyers
from the law schools Of the country. 1t
finds $4,000 practicing lawyers in New
York city alone. The foundation Is la
boring for a higher standard for law
schools and for admission to the bar
AS it recently investigated the medical
schools of Europe in order to get q COM
parison with our own. it now is under
taking an investigation of the law schools
of Europe.

service as a profess
twenty-five years service as instructor
and professor at the age Of sixty-five is
entitled to retirement pay ranging from
30 per cent of the active pay Of the low
salaried individual up to 81, 900 a year
for the maximum. A thousand dollars a
year is the retiring pay OF a teacher
drawing an active salary Of 81, 200. For
salaries above this. up to the maximum
allowance OF 1000, the retiring teacher
gets $1,000. to which is added $50 for
each extra 500 Of active salary received
before retirement.
The other class of teachers entitled to
retirement pay in the accepted institu-
tons are those who have served twenty
five years as professors or thirty as pro-
fessors and instructors. Their pay is
slightly less than those who are retired
for age, and they can be retired only
after a medical examination, which shows
who for ten years have been wives Of
men drawing or entitled to retirement
allowances are upon the death Of their
husbands, entitled to one-half their re-
6rement pay.
The foundation has found difficulty ex-
ercising the right given by the trustees to
the executive committee to grant retire.
notably to men who desire to devote
themselves to research and to college
executives who have rendered note
worthy service to the cause of education
and 1t is probable that this provision
will be entirely withdrawn.
