COMPETITION AND COLLEGE PRO
EESSORS.

President Butler. Of Columbia Uni
versity. believes that college teaching
would lie greatly improved If college
professors in their work were SUB
tected to some form of supervision Of
inspection. Each college or university
he asserts. should have a faculty com
mittee on instruction, the duty OF
which would be TO overlook and report
upon the courses and methods Of the
instructors.
There is. unfortunately" Professor
Butler states, no public opinion
either within a university or in the
community at large. which will sustain
the displacement OF a teacher in school
or in college simply because he canno,
teach If he is a person Of good moral
character, Of reasonable industry ano
Of inofYensive personality. his place Is
perfectly secure. no matter what havoc
he may make in the classroom.
1T is this ineouitable security OF
tenure, the like Of which is not to be
found IN any other calling. that at

holds in IL. despite its modest pecu-
mary rewards, SO much medlocrlty
This is not SO much q condition to be
criticized as a fact to be reckoned with
Unless an ineffective teacher can be
reused or stimulated into relative eff
fectiveness It will probably be neees-
sary to subject one generation Of col
leKe students after another to his In
capacity. until death or the age OF aca-
demic retirement comes to their relief. y
Observers Of academic conditions will
generally agree with President Butler.
The Northern and Western universities.

the members Of their faculties by max
ing appointments for a limited period.
K tho professors work is acceptable.
this tenure is made permanent Other
wise his services are not retained
Perhaps the fundamental difficulty in
the way Of securing better college
teachers consists In the attraction OF
greater pecuniary rewards from bust-
ness and from some professional pur-
suits which cause large number OF
capable students to forego graduate
work On the other hand, there can be
10 doubt that the multiplication OF
scholarships and fellowships has made
il possible for an increasing proportion
Of students who under competitive con-
ditions would not be selected to enter
graduate schools and eventually to
become college teachers. They are
usually men who are attracted by the
conventional distinction attached to a
college chair. and. through the absence
OF competitive conditions. after once
receiving an academic appointment. are
permitted to hold It unmolested. Other
college instructors also because OF
the c.rcumscribed nature Of college
lie, together with the lack Of a proper
stimulus. tend towards scagnation in
their work.

SCHElLE MATTHEWS
Elma Blacksmith and Former Depu.
ty Sheriff SHES His Hat in
the Ring

Schelle Matthews, the Elma black
smith, who made an excellent record
as deputy sheriff during the William
Gohl sensation on GrayS Harbor has
announced that he will be candidate
for the republican nomination for
sheriff at the September primaries
in the Elma Chronicle.
Speaking of the announcement, the
Chronicle says:
Schelle Matthews is we'll known to
the people in all sections of the coun-
ty. He came to this part of the state
ten years ago, and in that time he has
been a resident of Hoquiam, Aber-
deem, Montesano and Elma He has
made this town his home for the
past five years, and in all the towns
named he has followed his trade. In
fact, since coming to the county. he
has been blacksmithing with the eX-
cepticn of two years that he put in
in the sheriff's Office These two
years gave MT. Matthew's the eXpef-
fence that will aid him in the per
formance of his duty if he is select
ed for the place. though his friends
are of the opinion that h s honesty,
his aight-forwardness and his alb
solute impartially are the qualities
that viii win him most votes.
1t is more than a trte expression
to say that Schelle Matthews has
clean record He has been straight
all his life, and his enemies were not
made because he was ever lax in
the performance of justice or for the
reason that he was derelict in his
duty. This fact should prove con-
siderable asset in the campaign.
Mr. Matthews is from eastern Che
halls county, and he feels that in an
equitable division of the offices this
section of the county should be re-
membered.
