CALLS "HONOR" SYSTEM
\ SYSTEM OF DISHONOR
Professor Says it Assumes That q Stu
dent VIII Cheat and AffrOnts
His Manhood.

elphia.-"There are still
some things in this world that are
not the subject of barter" says Prof.
Felix F. Schelling, English professor
at the University of Pennsylvania, in
the Pennsylvania, in which he attacks
the honor system at the Wharton
school of the university and declares
1t worse than a failure.
ITO ask man to promise not to
cheat" he says, SIS to assume not
only the possibility but the probality
that he will cheat and therefore de-
stroy his reputation for honor. A
gentleman is always on his honor.
and to assume the necessity of put
ting him to his promise is to lower
the whole standard of his moral sys-
tenn.
Il regard a pledge on the part of
a student not to cheat during an ex-
animation as an affront to his man
hood. You cannot make a man hon
est by compelling from him a writ
ten statement that he is habitually a
thief, and you cannot inoculate our
student body with sense of the seri-
BUSINESS of dishonest work by occas-
lonal or even reiterated promises to
be good. 1t is only by holding up
standards that are ideal that we can
raise the student body to the recog-
milton to what true honor is"

WIFE WITH NO CEREMONY.
Man Can't Desert Her, Though Never
Formally Welded.

Allentown. Pa.-That it is i'm

a common law wife was found out
by Thomas Moore, an Allentown bus
mess man. Moore is member of a
progressive structural iron concern
that does a great deal cf work
throughout Pennsylvania and es-
pecially in the anthracite coal re-
gions. He was hailed into Desertion
court yesterday afternoon. When he
took the stand he declared that the
woman who had for nine years been
thought to be his wife was not his
wife AT all, and he did not want any
thing to do with her.
The woman, plump and handsome.
explaining her side of the story, said
she had met Moore at hotel in
New York Complying with his sug-
gestion, she came here with him, and
he introduced her to his family and
10 all his friends as his wife. She
said her real name was Nellie Bren-
nan, that she was born in Elmira, and
when she first met Moore she was n
young girl. They lived happily until
about a year ago, when he began 10
try 10 get rid Of her.
The woman acknowledged that no
marriage ceremony had ever been per-
formed, but declared she felt she was
q wife. She testified that Moore had
taken the furniture and presented it
to another woman. This woman was
in court, and when she was made to
stand up acknowledged that the tes-
timony Of Nellie Brennan was true.
Moore Acknowledged that he had a
large business. but asserted that he
was taking out Of 1t only SIS a week.
Judge Trexler quickly decided that
Nellie Brennan was his common law
wife and commanded him to give her

"It is leap year." mused the pro-
fessor, as he ran over his offers. But
1 didn't expect such a thing as this.
Now, I've heard of linen showers,
china showers and silver showers, but
bridal showers, what do you think OF
that?'
Some of the names of candidates
were dearly familiar to Professor
Walters, and he was puzzled. Con-
fronted with proposals from eight
girls, any one of whom was worthy of
good husband, what could he do?
He couldn't marry eight, and he
couldn't choose between them. So
Professor Walters sent out this la
comic reply:
MY Dear Miss -: I would if 1
could, but I can't. There are seven
others
Then a happy thought struck the
professor. Why not a private recep-
ton. at which he could speak per-
sonal word of appreciation. That
cold. coarse note of reply must have
wounded every heart So eight girls
surrounded Professor Walters as he
tried to tell them how much he ap-
preciated the situation.
You see" explained the bewilder-
ed pedagogue, "how very impossible
it was to make choice from this
double quartet Of pretty girls. Now
if only one should propose / might"
And the professor cast coy glance
AZ one member of the party. The
others caught the gaze. Now it is
saie the remaining seven have with
drawn their offers and are urging
Professor Walters to make good.
A friend to whom the professor
confided his experience told another
friend-in confidence, Of course-and
in that way the story came out. The
professor admits 1t is true.
