aries, but as rule it is probably true
that the low-priced men are not high
ly satisfactory. The students who are
teaching are not supposed to be de-
voting full time to instruction; their
studies get half their time, fOur-fifths of
ably for most of them, fOur-fifths Of
their Interest and enthusiasm. Teach
ing is likely to be merely an unpleas-
ant interruption in the days work
The men who are getting the larger
salaries are supposed to be deeply in
terested in research work, that is, a
dlligent and persistent effort to find
out something that nobody ever knew
before. Their regulations among
their equals, their salaries and the
standing OF the university with which
they are connected, unfortunately de-
pend almost wholly upon their zeal
and success in turning out learned
articles and monographs. In the
midst OF all this, the student gets on
as best he can, and there is little won
der that students complain of scant
attention and poor instruction, not
| Withstanding the large cost of the
| university Sometimes the students
come in contact with splendid, self.
sacrificing men who give the best OF
| themselves to their students and are
| Jealous first of all for their welfare
Not infrequently such men lose caste
with their fellow-workers, not to men
| ton university officials, and are looked
| upon as merely teachers" unfit for
promotion.
Another reason for the large
| amount of poor teaching that is done
| in the university is that nobody in
| authority has the temerity to go into
class taught even by a student who
is wholly inexperienced, and give any
suggestions as to how the work should
| be done. In other words, there is nc
! personal supervision in the university
with the exception of little here and
| there within a department itself. Any
manufacturing plant run on so crude
| plan would turn out a very infe
rior product A capable man could
easily earn large salary for the
state by supervising the teaching Of
the university If the institution would
submit to it and cooperate heartily.

State superintendent.

A Disgrace to the City

One afternoon last week two young
men, so report says, fought for three
hour in a saloon on West Main street
near the bridge. They are both well
known in the city among the tough
and undesirable element. The result
of the melee was that one of the com
pattants went to the hospital because
of fractured leg instead of his neck,
and the other has been running around
somewhat battered but still In the
ring How long will the people \tol.
crate such disgraceful conduct, and
how long will the city authorities per
nit such a saloon to be run in this
city? And it might be pertinent
question: Where were the police?
The police authorities know the names
of the parties and the location OF the
saloon, and it is time that they were
getting busy and putting an end TO
the lawlessness which exists to some
extent in good old Watertown.

May be Surprised.

An aged German who works in one
OF the factories in this city was asked
how he was getting along? In reply
he said that he was working seven
days in the week, Sundays included.
Once in while he went to church on
a Sunday evening and the minister
says that he is going to hell anyway
and it makes him feel badly, but if
the minister is telling him the truth
he cannot help himself and will be
obliged to flock with a multitude of
church members whose lives and acts
would make him ashamed of himself,
though he does not claim to be their
kind Of a Christian.
