ed as teacher or leader of men, tn,
scholastic atmosphere of his institution
declined in marked degree In short il
was very difficult to find the combina
tion of good teacher and capable bus
mess man in one and the same individ
ual, so that he would be worthy OF
both and markedly different works. And
so it is to-day,
How to get around the deficiency has
been solved in large part by a divi-
sion of labor, the relieving of the presi-
dent of the college of large part OF
the duties which formerly fell to him
and the putting of those duties on spe-
cial appointees carrying various titles.
Nowadays the president is not required
to be man-of work; he has his par
ticular field of labor, which generally Is
that of leader of the intellectual side
of the college. And it must be con-
fessed that far better results can be
attained for the institution than under
the old system in which one man was
called upon to do work which was dis
tasteful to him in conjunction with that
work which was his chosen department.
In some cases, too, the growth of the
college has compelled the tightening of
the presidents load and the placing of
some responsibility on other shoulders,
OF this latter class we should say that
college is an example, as it
has just been announced that the col
lege will have a business director" or
agent, who shall take from President
Nichols shoulders much of the weight of
for the purely business
side of the administration. So we see
that the colleges are awakening to the
advantage of division of labor, which
long since was recognized as sound
economic principle.

Advanced Vermont.

Vermont was one of the two states
which were so reactionary as to cast
their electoral votes for President TAFT.
Consequently it must follow that the
Vermont legislature, which recently adj
iourned after the longest session on
record. is the sponsor for a. unprogres-
sive lot Of laws as could be imagined.
But what are the factsl A juvenile
court has been created; "blue sky" in
vestment law has been passed; a reform
has been made in the method of arilway
taxation that is expected to net the
state annually twice the cost Of the eN-
ira length Of the session; the railways
have been put under regulation with re-
speet 10 the matter OF demurrage; en-
forcement Of uniform standard proyis-
ions has been arranged for; laws have
ben put upon the statute books TO pre-
vent adulteration and misbranding OF
foods aud drugs, and to enforce sanitary
conditions in the sale OF bread; regula-
tions have been adopted concerning the
heating. ventilation and inspection 81

Foo Msmbrsns For Skin.

For long time doctors have been
looking for good substitute for hu-
man skin for grating. The possibility
has lately been demonstrated by tax
Ing the mem brane that lines the she'll
Of newly laid eggs. plastering it over
the burn and making 1t grow as human
skin. The discoverer of this process
was treating a child who had pre-
siously been burned and in breaking a
raw egg he desired the child TO swal-
low dropped part of the membrane by
accident upon the burn and bandaged
the wound. Later on 1t was diseov-
cred that the accidental placing of the
egg membrane over the burn had caus-
ed cells TO augment In number and
gradually to extend over the wound
until at the end Of some weeks the sur
face was completely covered with the
new skin. The treatment was called
to the attention of physicians. and it is
now being used to cure scalds.-Har-

Your Weight In Gold.

You often hear of a man or woman
% an object OF some sort that Is pro
claiming TO be worth his Their or it's
weight In gold" Did you ever stop to
figure out what your weight in gold
would be? Or your sweetheart's? Or
your baby's? Or your favorite pipes
You can do 1t. approximately. The
value of gold fiuctuates. Usually il
runs In price somewhere between $40
and $40 an ounce. Let's take the lat.
ter amount. It's easier to figure with.
Gold Is weighed by troy weight, twelve
ounces to the pound. In other words
tat 500 an ounce $40 a pound. Do
you weigh 1850 pounds? Then your
weight in gold Is about $4,000. (The
capitalization of man who gets an
$500 a year salary Is your girls
weight 10 poundsf She is worth only
about S26.400. Nearly $4,000 less
than yourself. though you probably
won't acknowledge ito her. If your
pipe weighs two ounces fits weight In
gold Is $40. Your ten pound baby is
worth only $2,4o0 in gold. So you see
worth fits weight in gold" is not such
exorbltant praise after all.-St Louis

Tread In the Kansas Wheat Crop.

Bread! The state of Kansas alone
will this year produce enough wheat
to feed more than one-sixth OF the
population of the United States for
Dne year. The soldiers of our army
are allowed one loaf Of bread day.
and the immense Kansas wheat crop
would provide this average ration for
1857 900 soldiers for one year. The
magnitude of the crop is illustrated
again In the statement that 1t could be
made to girdle the earth at the equa
tor thirty-two times with beautiful,
one pound loaves. For their bumper
crop the farmers OF Kansas will re-
reive the handsome total Of SS5,000.-

ing them the good old days. the presi-
dent of a college was called upon to
act az teacher, administrative head, field
agent and conservator of the finances

and perhaps other capacities peculiar to
his college. In fact, the president Of
the college was a very large part Of
the college and as a result he was a
much overworked individual and unable
to give the best service because he might
be a good teacher and a poor business
man. or vice versa. If he was a good
teacher and a poor administrative man,
the college gained renown a. a seat Of
learning where the students came under
the best influences, but at the same
time the college ran much into debt and
suffered severely until some kind friend
should come TO j. aid. ON the other

The merchants of Chicago, through
their Chamber of Commerce, have al

complished toward introd ucing Amer

bsssador at Buenos Ayres who does not
take orders, but places South Amer
lean merchants in connection with Chi

matters. American goods, therefore,
through this source and with the aid
of consuls, have been well introduced.

talking up "Chieago-made goods" it is
desirable that New England made

That rear-end collision of two Boston
& Maine freight trains at East Putney
yesterday morning, as a result of which
some dozen cars and their contents were
destroyed and the line was tied up dur
ing the greater part of the day, might
have been averted with careful adherence
to ordinary rules of railroading, it would
seem. The accident consisted of one
train running into the rear of train
standing on the main line. The inquiry
does not concern itself with the reason
why the forward train was halted, be-
cause it might have been due to any one
of large number of reasons; but it
does concern the reason why fagmen
were not sent back on the line, immedi-
ately that the train was brought to
halt, in order to warn approaching
trainmen of the stalled train. We infer
that this was not done, else there would
have been no collision. Perhaps the
train crew of the stalled freight can
account for the situation of a train halt
ed on the main line and an approaching
train not warned of the danger.
