EDUCATIONAL EXPLORER TELLS STORY.
Of YEARS TRIP IN SOUTH AMERICA

ion with this country Is that II Is the
versity In the whole of South America.
The schools were never organized In
university form. They have schools of
law. schools of medicine. schools of en-
gineering and many other kinds of
schools, but strange to say they have
no university that comprises all OF
these different schools In one organ
iZation.
Another striking fact about Latin
America Is the great amount of money
the various countries are putting into
higher education of late years. Many
of them are putting up fine buildings.
increasing the salaries of the teaching
staff, and doing many other things to
hep along the educational propa ganda.
Uruguay In the last three or four years
has spent more than two million dollars
in bui dings for schools. At La Plata.
Argentina. the university plant. build
ing. grounds and laboratory cost some-
thing like ten million dollars.
"One peculiarity about South Amer
lean institutions is there are no pro.
fessors who are strictly professors as
we understand the term In the United
States. The majority OF professors In
the universities throughout South
America are men who practice their
! professions at the same time they
teach. Lawyers doctors, engineers and
! architects. and some OF the members
are made up OF newspaper men. pub
fishers and s1litors. These men teach
i M ~ h., anl,, rouu
week, but they come right In from the
actual practice of their profession to
do this.
''This. practice has It's advantages
/ and disadvantages. The disadvantage
lies principally In the fact that not
being teachers by profession they oc-
casionally lack proper teaching meth
DDS and they don't have that intimate
re'ation with students that teachers do
in our universities and colleges In
America.
But there Is one great advantage.
They are all men of considerable learn
ing and high regulations in their COM
munities. The best physicians. the
best lawyers, and even the high state
officials all Willingly accept professor
ships In any OF the colleges. Almost
all South American university profess
sors will usually be found to be men
OF the highest social standing and con-
siderable wealth. This lends a certain
dignity to the institutions which IL
sometimes lacking in the United States
In spite of our better teaching methods.
These men Of course cannot make a
living from teaching alone, but they
combine their own profession with
teaching in order to supplement their
income. There Is no question but that
in proportion to the time given to
teaching, professors are better paid in
Latin America than in this country
"As far as ! know there are only
three institutions In Latin America Of
higher educa ton that are not strictly
dependent upon and founded by the
state. One Is the Catholic university
at Santiago. Chile. the second is Mac
kenzie College at Sac Paulo. Brazil
and the other at Bogota. Colombia.
There are many private schools In Sec
ondary education and private societies
not religious.

After a trip of near'y n year through
South America. where he visited many
of the principal universities and edu-
cntional institutions, Or. Edgar II.
Brandon has just returned to Wash
ington. During this trip DR. Brandon
saw many unique and unusual systems
of education In operation. Many of the
nations south of us have as modern
system of educating Their people as
we have today In the United States,
while on the contrary there are some
of the smaller repub les little back
ward But there Is n widespread move
ment that seems to take In all OF South
America today, and even the smaller
republics are waking up to the fact
that education Is the basis of prosper
ity In any country In the world.
The work was undertaken under the
direction of the Pan-American union.
II was desired to get first hand In
formation concerning higher education
In the Latin American republics. and
with this object In view the Pan Amer
lean union sent n representative 20 that
country TO make thorough study of
all branches Of the subject The doc
tor relates many interesting expert
ences that happened to him while on
the trip and some of them are intense
ly interesting.
During the year he was away DIR.
Brandon sent monthly story OF his
traves to Washington. These stories
were Of such unusual interest they
were printed each month In the Bull
letin issued by the Pan-American
union. There We're eight installments
from October of last year to July OF
1912. In short talk the doctor gave
an interesting resume of his ex-
perlence while visitingg our friends IN

FIREBRAND IN THE SENATE.
Senator Bristow Reads Letter From
North Carolina Postmaster.

Washington. d. c., March ). Senator
Bristow tossed firebrand into the Sem
ate yesterday when he introduced reso-
luton, apparently aimed at President
Taft, urging an inquiry into reports
that 10 nominations of federal office
holders in North Carolina had recently
been withdrawn by the president to in
ilnence politicians in that state
The inquiry also would be directed to
learn if postoffice inspectors We're be-
ing sent through the country as political
emissaries and if postmasters were be-
ine threatened with removal if they
failed to support certain candidates.
Senator Bristow read to the Senate
a letter from Postmaster George r. Lew
is of Bessemer, Ala, which charged POST
master Truman H. Aldrieh, recently ap-
pointed at Birmingham, and other fed
era officers. with political activity for
President Taft. Senator Bristow did
not get the letter before the Senate
however, without objection. Senator
Gallinger objected to its being read
BY the clerk, whereupon Senator Bris-
tow called for the letter and read it
himself.
Senator Bristow's resolution was re-
ferred to the committee on contingent
expenses which win consider the cost of
such an inquiry.

ice which shall thereafter obtain. There
fore, what this plan of mediation con
templates is that official assistance which
will aid the parties themselves to com
pose their difficulties and reach an amica-
BILE understanding. For this reason it
has been the conception of those who
have acted in this capacity that their
duty is not to determine what settlement
they think ought to be made, but to
find out what settlement can be made"
Suits at law, said Judge Knapp, left
the litigants enemies thereafter, for the
victorious one held that he had been put
to time and expense to vindicate his
right, while the loser invariably felt
there had been miscarriage of justice.
This was not the case, he pointed out,
with the mediation or arbitration plan
as employed in labor controversy. He
eontended that, as the settlement of such
a dispute was really voluntary, each side
felt that the best conditions were OBJ
tanned for all concerned,
'More than that" Judge Knapp CON
cluded, "such settlements bring about the
restoration of friendly relations and the
immediate resumption of work, and thai
is the thing which the public demands.
I am very happy to add that the results
of settlements with which / have been
connected have been the restoration of
even more friendly relations than previ-
ously existed

LOOKING FOR HIRED MAN.
Senator Harry Daniels Accuses Him of
Making Money Fly.

After faithfully serving three years
in the employe of Senator Harry Dan
icls of East Montpelier, Bert Barlow
has forsaken. his place and is now much
sought. incidentally, Senator Daniels
says he is short 500, which he had
intrusted in the hands of Barlow to
pay several laborers employed at the
Daniels mill in East Montpelier States
Attorney J. Ward Carver has been noti-
fed Of the matter, and it is understood
that officers are already on Barlow's
trail
Last Saturday afternoon, it is alleged
that Senator Daniels gave Barlow a
check for 800, which had been indorsed
by r. w. Moulton of Williamstown,
who has charge of the senator's lum-
Ter job. Barlow was directed to cash
the check on one of the banks in Barre.
Barlow gave assent to the request and
as he disappeared around the bend in
the road leading from the mill, Mr.. Dam
lels caught his last glimpse of his once
trusted employe, as well as the 500.
Much loath to charge the man with
absconding with the money, Senator
Daniels waited some little time before
notifying the authorities. meanwhile
hoping that Barlow would see. fit to
return home.
The East Montpelier senator is com
pletely at loss to account for the
mans action. He had long been trust
ed employe on the Daniels place and the
employer had grown TO trust him i'm
plicitly. Officers believe that Barlow
took northward course, as be left this
city. and that he is in the vicinity of
Burlington at the present time.

many close observers as very likely

Baldwin OF Connecticut and Governor
Foss of Massachusetts, who probably
will be presented each by his own state.
my Impression concerning the CON

that ii viii be so close and win develop

sble for any one of them 10 secure the

own personal impression, derived from

be the result there is only one man upon
whom | can see any prospect OF the con
yention uniting. and that man j. in no
sense candidate. Undoubtedly he would
resent even the suggestion that he may

Gaynor Of New York appears to me for
many reasons to be one TO whom. ii such
an emergency as have suggested may
