Specialization


A great deal is said in a dis
paraging way about the mod
ern tendency toward speeializa
tion.
The time was when BARRIERS
were also doctor, when you
could get man who would
pun your tooth or hoe your
horse with equal willingness
when a woman, wanting the
ruffIes Of her underskirt pink
ed' would take them to the
undertaken to be done.
There may have been a GER
tain unique charm about such
combinations Of occupations,
but the quality of the erYice
must have been somewhat un-
certain.
Nowadays practically every
man and woman in the produc-
tive business world, works
along some certain well-defin-
ed line. The result Of this
specialization IS shown in the
immense advance there has
been in the quality and ayrie-
ty Of articles put into the mar
ket for general consumption.
The medium through which
the public is Informed Of the
best Of these articles and their
place Of sale is the advertis-

COLLEGE ENRoLMENTs.

That the enrolmentS at universities and colleges for the school year show increases over previous years and in many instances exceed any in the his tory of the institutions indicates a steady growth which is gratifying. The pursuit of higher ed ucation is today within the reach of a much greater pro portion of the young people than in days gone by. Its value is coming to be more understood as it's results are demonstrated. but it is not by the enrolment at an institution of this kind that the full appreciation of a college education is to be judged.
 The attendance figures indicate the number who are attracted for various reasons and there is not one student who should not profit from the train ing which is received, though the de- gree of such profit will vary greatly. It is, however. the young person who makes the most of his opportunities, who goes to college with the intent of getting the most and the best out of such privileges as are offered. who will get the full benefit of the college education Such should be the intent and purpose of attending college The gigantic educational machinery exists for all alike and it remains with the students to make good use of it, under the guidance of master minds, or to waste it. Larger enrolments mean wider interest and it should mean more education. and such it will mean if there is a full realization of the un- devT q king

A HARD BUT PROPER FIGHT.

It is the iron hand which James Sullivan has shown in his method of ending the series of reveits which has been disturbing San Domingo, but 1t Is the iron hand of common sense when he declares that the troubles must be settled by the ballet. Fight ing has tee leng been considered the avenue fer entering the political life of not only this republic but of many of the other Latin American countries It Is time that the falacy of it was proclaimed and the benefits of the ballot fully demonstrated. There is the great need of education for the full understanding of the Advantages and benefits of gathering at the polls for the peaceful adjustment of political matters instead of assembling for con- fiict to decide the supremacy of lead CTS.
 Naturally the task of Minister SuiI- van is not the easiest which he might have been given. That he has under taken it in the proper spirit and by iustiiable methods indicates his inten- tions to do his best for those people, It is a policy which needs to be urged on every possible occasion throughout that portion of the world where re- volts are a constant menace to peace ful conditions. In his ambitious under taking in San Domingo. over which this country spreads a protecting wing. his course deserves the greatest sue cess. It however. means a long. hard, up hill fight which has staggered oth- CTS. and it's success will depend upon his ability to impress those people with his point of view.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Lifting by His BOotstraps.

MT Editor: For the first time I have found a person that argues that man ought to be able to lift himself by his bootstraps Memo says: Tt is to be presumed that there is no legal way to prevent their (the school children) sharing the loss equally with the other creditors" No, there is no way, legal or otherwise. to prevent their losing under the present system. He says further: These children somehow ought to be paid in full.'' They cer- tainly should, but the system is no respecter of persons of any age, but it is a shame that grown-up children should foster such a fraudulent sys- tenn He says: Tt is a shame to Nor wich to have them lose" Norwich Is not to blame for this condition, the system, the trouble is with the law gress. This is what the fight is over today in congress-the ownership and control and issue of money. To illus trate tie principle, suppose that con- gross issued $1,000 and handed it to one individual for him to loan out to the community. The person owning it could loan eleven men $10O each and have $10 left. Each mans note to run one year, the interest to be 10 per cent, taken out in advance. This gives each man $90. The eleven men get $990, and they owe $1,100. The Q11er6nCe between what they owe anu what they get Is $110, Bear in mind there is only $1,0o0 all told. This H. lustrates the system. The Trust com pany took the penny and nickel from the children with the understanding that it would give the children more than they put in, and the company de- pended on loaning the pennies and nlckels to some grown-up children and getting from them more than the company lets them have. If Memo will show how the $110 in the above exam pie can be paid with the amount re- ceived, then that way can be applied to paying the children. The sum and substance of the system Is that some body will get something for nothing By the report of the receiver it looks as though quite a number got some thing for nothing, and on the other hand. quite a number got nothing for something, including the school chill dren. It is possible they may get 50 cents or perhaps not over 10 cents, on the dollar, but it is an impossibiIity to get 100 cents on the dollar. You can not lift yourself by your bootstraps.

Looks like New York state wants to trade off Gov. Sulzer for Harry Thaw.
 It's too bad they can't have Harry for governor Them Tammany fel- lows d have to go to night school sos to read all tn bulletins their bug governor'd be plasterin' tn btllboards with.

 The last thing a weak personality wants to do is to decide.
 Even in family and business affairs we reach out for some one to lean on.
 Worst. of all we continually seek to prevent our children from acting upon their own judgement and call them good when they run to us for every decision.
 Children. on the contrary, should be trained to form their own opinions and to take the consequences of their own actions. To have a quick-acting, dependable judgement is better than a world of negative moralities

THE SMALL SCHOOL BOARD.

The size of the school board is question which sooner or later con- cerns every city. large or small IL is of course a most important com mittee and one whose size should be arranged for the best service. The board which can render the best serv- ice has been found by experience to be the board of few members It is impossible for a large committee to expediate business or accomplish the best results. Wherever committees are large the bulk of the work de- wolves upon a few, which number is able to obtain better and quicker re- suits alone
 F Many of the big cities have been through the experience Of having large school committees. Instead of having every section or ward represented thereon it has been found prefera ble to place the duties in the hands of a few men Of ability. Such is the rec ommendation of investigators of the school board in New York city at the present time where fl Is urged that instead of The large board. now in ex- fstence. the membership should be limited tO eight
 In recognition Of worth of such recommendation which it character fzes as progress in the right direction, rhe New York Tribune says "As at present constituted the board is a hopeless unweildy body, endeavoring 10 meddle with a mass of detailed problems for which it has neither the organization nor the capacity, The recommendations of the investigators are sharp and accurate. It should be greatly reduced in size"
 It is the small school board selected fer and devoted to It's work which Is bound to do the most for ths schools wherever they may be located. Wheth- CT in New York or elsewhere.

ADJUSTING FREIGHT RATES.

The filing of thousands of new freight tariffs by the railroads of the east and central portions of the coun- try. with the interstate commerce com mission presents to this body the necessity of passing upon this de- manG of the railroads for the sane sioning of raised rates, which are considered necessary 10 do business and meet the obligations to the pub ic. the employees and the stockholders. The rates. which call for an increase of practically five per. cent, cannot be put into effect without the endorse ment by the commission.
 Tnasmuch as increases in wages have been granted in accordance with the government approved plan of abiding by arbitration. and others are likely to be raised by just such methods. it is Go be supposed that the income of the roads were taken into considera- rion at such times, but the railroads are entitled to the right to show that the rates are insufficient. The commission was named to take care of the interests of the public and become a fair adiuster of rates and conditions T. stands in the position Of being prepared to do what is fair for all concerned. T. therefore must be shown bv the railroads that their demanfs are properly founded and what they ask is but easonabIe under the existing circumstances. Proper regulation is what is wanted and the existence of such a commission is the best assurance that it will be ac- complished in accordance with the facts. and not by a random lacking up Of the rates such as used to exist.

CANAL TOLLS AT sTANDsTILL

The Panama canal has reached the stage where i- is nearing completion -apidly. The work is going ahead with leaps and bounds in satis- factory and gratifying manner, indi- eating not only the excellent caIcU- lauons upon which the date for com pletion was fixed but the magnificent manner Tn which the entire project had been handled. It is something to make calculations but it is much harder task 70 live up to them.
 For sometime it has been known that the canal would be finished ahead of time but as vet there has been no final adjustment of the con rroversv over the regulatio there oC Tt is going to he but a conpara- lively short time before the matter of rates will be particularly important and it is a matter which should be de- cided if possible before the new wa terway is thrown open to traffic
 Better progress is being made upon the construction of the big ditch than upon the final action on the question of tolls. Just what course the present administration intends to pur- sue has not been divulged. Whether it will support the last administration. or take the British construction of the canal treaty has not been indicated. The time is brief before vessels will he using the canal and before then we must justify our position or re- cede therefrom on the matter of dis elimination in tolls.
