Lending a Couple of Miles.

''Three to Albany" said a club car
passenger as he handed over q mileage
book to the conductor and pointed to
his two companions. The conductor
ran his eye down the long strip and
then turned about with the query:
"Who will give this man two miles?"
Half dozen books were presented
Immediately. and the conductor tore
off two miles from one of them while
the man who had been short expressed
his thanks.
Yes, it's kind Of treating frequent
ly practiced," said the conductor after
ward. ITS the same as with postage
stamp. When you need the extra mile
or two you need it bad, but there are
few passengers who will accept the
proffer Of payment on the part Of the
man whose book has run out."-New

THE COLLEGE DEGREES

The Americans are ostensibly
plain, democratic people. BY
principle they are supposed to des
pise titles and social tinsel. Yet the
college degrees custom indicate
very distinct hankering after social
tags.
Originally academic degrees
were dependable certificate at least
that man had worked four years
in an atmosphere of cultivation and
learning.
Now a degree may mean simply
that a fellow went to college t.
have four years fun. hiring coach
to do the thinking end of the game.
Or in some colleges" the attain
ment represented by the certificate
hung on his parlor wall may signi-
fy no more than is meant by men,
berhip in the sophomore class of The
stronger institutions.
One university" advertised to
confer honorary degrees on any ore
sending $40. The entire plant of
this university consisted of an
Office in city building, with desks
two chairs, and letter press. There
is one really truly university that
confers degree on any one who
will read eight books. Examina-
ton must be considered cumbrous
and antiquated, as the applicants
word is taken for the required
reading. The Sum of $50 has to be
paid on the installment plan. A
year later, by paying $40 more it
is possible to get Master of Arts
degree. The end of every college
year brings an increasing demand
for the abolition Of academic de-
grees in democratic America. That
may or may not be desirable. These
old practices have a certain ele-
ment Of poetry and romance that
one hates to let 60. But at least
some academic authority ought to
get up a white list" of institu-
tions which confer degrees based
on merit.
The men most worthy of these
literary laurels are the most apt to
hide them out of sight.
