WILL RETAIN EXAMINATIONS.
Harvard, Says Lowell, to Insist
Upon Entrance Qualifications.

BOSTON. November 1.-Despite the gen.
erai tendency of the colleges of the coun-
try to do away with the entrance exam
ination, Harvard will always insist upon
this qualification for admission, President
A. Lawrence Lowell told the New Eng
land Association of Colleges and Prepara-
tory Schools today.
"In America" said President Lowell,
I'VE are in special need of a measurement
of efficiency in education because we are
prone to theorize and rely on formulas
always trying to set machinery in motion
which will run itself
Another great defect is the fact that
in most cases the one who gives instruc-
ton also gives the examination. In test
ing the measure OF efficiency. the aid of
independent examiners should be secured.
The capacity and habits OF the pupils
measure the efficiency Of the teacher and
by examination we are able to tell even
more about the instructor than we can
about the one who is instructed"

Whether private water company is
justified in shutting off the water supply
to city the moment it's franchise ex-
pires. or can get compensation if 1t con-
tinues its service. was a question pre-

pany could collect nothing. The water
company wants the Supreme Court to
