position for the appointment of a
Federal commission of nine members
by the President. whose duty it will
be to recommend new legislation to
Congress for the benefit of American
industries is a good move, provided
men interested and alert TO the in
dustrial needs are put on the board.

ever. will be authorized to spend

hasn't the time nor the inclination
to study the industrial conditions as
the commission might do.

tunity of investigating hours of
our industrial legislation today

SLAVES TO RULES.

A Chicago newspaper recently
printed human interest story about
a girl 10 years old who was denied
admittance at the Cook County, ILL.,,
Uospital because a rule forbade let
ting children under a certain age call
at the hospital unless accompanied
by older persons. The child was on
her way to visit her sick father.
Either some newspaper reporter
has drawn on his imagination or
there must be funny set of men at
Cook County Hospital. The main
advantage of rules is that under
necessity they are easily breakable
and rule that would turn a little
girl from her fathers bedside ought
to afford all kinds of pleasure in the
breaking That any grown man
could ever become a hopeless slave
to such a silly rule. is more than one
can easily understand.
Ii doesn't take much initiative to
pass a child of 10 years into county
hOspital over all the rules that were
ever made. The thing doesn't SAVIOR
of cutting the Gordian Knot or
crossing the Rubicon. When rule
would bar a child of 10 from seeing
her sick father, the rule deserves
to be smashed.

THE fOrmality among the Ger

the free and easy manners of the

Miller of the College of Agriculture.
who spent the season of 191O-l9ll
IN Germany. 1T s as noticeable as
the difference in appearance. AS the
German universities grant only the
Doctors degree. the students are
about the rank of juniors in our uni
versities when they enter in Ger
many Most of them are several
years older than American students
on this account. and the mustache
which they all wear, makes them
look still older.
Attendance upon lectures is not
required in German universities and
there are no mid-year or annual en-
aminatiOns to worry about. No eX-
aminatiOns are given till the STU
dent is ready to take his degree,
then he must pass examinations on
every subject studied. 1t is some
times amusing the way the students
take this PRIVILEGE. For the first
two or three semesterS many of
them have good time. and think
very little about their work. They
study which is required in the pre-
para DRY schools they have been at
tending. Then, a year or year and
a half before the final exams for
their degrees, they are recluses and
rarely seen on the streets. They go
over subjects they have been sup
posed to study. and sometimes COM
nit book after book to memory in
preparation for the exams. Many
of the students. of course. master
their work as it is given in the lect-
ures from week to week.
The German mind is much more
fitted for cramming than the Amer
lean. BY systematic training they
have strengthened their memoir
les till they are much more to be de-
pended upon than ours. The Ger
man carries his knowledge in his
head. while the American carries
the knowledge of where to find it.
The American is usually better in
laboratory work, or in original work
of any kind; the German is better at
demonstrations and memory work.
The student organizations which
take the place of the Greek-letters
fraternities are the corps and the
'verbindungen,' the latter Organiza-
tiOns not so old as the corps. They
are named usually for some German
city. town or province, as the Han
over. Leipsic or Goettingen Corps.
Your membership in a corps is
settled by the station of your family.
You belong with your own classes.
1t does not depend upon you indi-
vidually.
None of the students work their
way through the German univeersi-
ties as they do here. A few do tu-
tOring, but that is the only form of
work done. None but men who have
money go to the universities, in the
first place.
