How She MANAGED II.

The heaps of rubbish left by the
workmen who had built Mr.. Halls
house were source of constant an.
noyance to Mrs. Hall. They We're I'M
slightly, and she was most eager to
have them removed.
1--WE can't have them carted away,
she said almost daily to her husband,
"for we've already spent more than
we can afford, and II would be impos'
sible TO burn such n mass"
One night on his return from town
Mr.. Hall found his wife smiling and
cheerful.
1--WE thought 1t all out, Herbert.
You must dig n hole. You can do II
nights and mornings"
Mr.. Hall made an inarticulate sound,
which his wife interpreted in her own
way.
"why, you have lots OF time! And
aren't there Saturday afternoonsT"
Mr.. Hall said he supposed that there
were. Yes. there must be Saturday
afternoons. He felt sure of II.
"well. that part is settled" said Mrs.
Hall. "Now all you've got to do is
go ahead and dig"
"Yes," said Mr.. Hall but there is
one thing you haven't thought Of.

big as the pile OF rubbish. What are
we going to do with that?g
"Oh," Mrs. Hall concluded happily,
you can make the hole big enough to
hold both the rubbish and the dirt"

GILBERT WHITE EXHIBITION
Why the Selborne Society Did Not
Have to Resort to Padding.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir; with reference TO the long notice
Of the Gilbert White Exhibition. published
I'm YOUR issue for March .. I should like
to say that your correspondent is not quite
aware OF the conditions under which the
exhibition was organized.
Every year in connection with our ahhuai
zione We MI one Of the rooms with
objects Of interest. and these are so much
appreciated that II seems a pity that they
should be on view FOR only one evening.
This year we decided TO show matters con
uected with the Natural History OF Sci
horne" and 10 keep the room In question
omen on the two following days, though we
wer, not. of course, aware how many really
Important relics We could get together IN
the short time at our disposal Therefore,
I'm our programme we included seVeral
headings. such as Specimens illustrating
Gilbert Whites Observations and 'ooJectS
I'm Use During Ills Time" with which IL
would be comparatively easy to MI the space
at our disposal but as a considerable mum
her OF manuscripts and other matters OF
moro nersonal nature came I'm there was
no need TO resort to what one might can
nadd,ng. and a few illustrations only were
added OF these. which, your correspondents

averted

Admitting the disappointing result or
the primaries in Illinois and Pennsyl-
vania. President Taft's supporters have
no reason for losing confidence In his
ability to secure a denomination at Chi
cago. Two states do not control q ma
tiona convention. Colonel Roosevelt
has adroitly taken advantage OF local
issues TO advance his interests in few
Of the larger commonwealths In which
the Republican organization managers
have become highly unpopular. But
there are few communities left In which
he can play further on that single string.
In the states which have still TO elect
delegates he will have to meet President
Taft in an appeal to the Republican
voters on the issues which legitimately
define his attitude and ideas as opposed
to those of the President.
II IL worth noting that the Presidents
support is far more general in charac-
ter than Colonel Roosevelts. OF the
colonel's III delegates ia come from
the two states of Illinois and Penn
sylvania. The other 63 are divided
among seven states. or Mr. Taft's 31I
delegates SO are from New York The
other 235 represent twenty-one states,
territories and dependencies. Hawaii,
Connecticut and Delaware are likely 10
he added this week to the Taft group,
and Of the remaining states. territories
and dependencies which will act be-
tween now and June it seems safe 10
say that the President will get either
all or substantial part Of the vote Of
Massachusetts, Rhode Island. New Jer-
sey. West Virginia. Ohio Maryland,
Kansas. Arkansas, Texas. Minnesota,
Utah. Wyoming. Arizona. Nevada and
Porto Rico. He has a good chance also
to get some support in New Hampshire.
North Carolina. Montana, Washington
and South Dakota.
The Roosevelt canvass has been made
so far on a Fictitious basis. The EXPIRES
ident has been denouncing machine
bosses. whose support he has not only
accepted but solicited in the past. When
he gets into communities where there
are no bosses he will have 10 set his
own present views and policies along
side of Mr.. Taft's and ask the voters TO
choose between them. The voters retain
n grateful recollection Of Mr.. Roosevelt's
former services 10 the country. but
there can be no doubt what choice the
sober sentiment Of the party will make
under such circumstances. Meanwhile,
the nsnsgers of Mr. Taft's campaign
ought to bestir themselves 10 bring
home 10 the public the true issues and
meaning OF the present contest.

THE COURSE N JOrRNALISu

THE COURSE N JOTRAALI"u. u.
The course Of instruction adopted for
the Pulitzer School of Journalism at
Columbia University is designed Dom
for the general and special training OF
students for newspaper work. On It's
general side il has q good deal in com
mon with the course in arts at most
colleges. The ancient languages ana
mathematics. which used to constitute
the mai part Of the college curriculum
are left out, hut in these days OF clec-
tives few college students give mucn
time to those difficult subjects. III
place Of them. for cultural purposes ana
Ia furnish the student with that gen
eral information which will serve nm
i'm his profession. the school Of journal
ism offers modern languages. naturai
science. history. politics. economies hl-
orature. statistics. the elements Of law
and labor and trust problems.
The student who covers TINS Groun"
faithfully will not he in general ruIthT'
behind his fellow who has chosen the
more strictly cultural course leanlhG '"
the arts degree And besides All tillS
general instruction the student VIII re-
ccivp special training in English and III
the technique and history Of Journalism.
Thus the course in the new school
will have ono advantage educati"haliE
over courses in most tcChnlcaI SCHOOLS
The man who comes out Of II win
honor will he in every sense Of the WORD
broadly educated Even il hc does not
follow the profession for which he Is
trained he will he n well educated man.
And perhaps this breadth will be at
tained without the loss OF that Intensity
Of purpose and application which is the
especial and almost exclusive possession
Of the technical school. In schools or
engineering. law. medicine and the liko

Stantly deplored by educators. In the

In these days il has come 10 be under

be the tool of politicians. serving their
selfish interests, or else be at war with
them to their detriment and his own.
How foolish, how contrary 10 fact such
