But now that these two great institutions are

another. the question of exchange of fac-
tiles and of the use of special equipment pos

front Mr.. Maclaurin discusses it with ad-

reason whatever why Technology students
should not profit by the inspiration of ex-
cepuonal1y able teachers at Harvard, and vice

thinks. should first be through the interchange

cal equipment. the case is still palmer. Pres
ident Maclaurin points out that the institute
may soon build experimental tank for its

not Harvard have the of it? IT would sure

An indication that the Progressive party il
a party of one mans personality rather than
4 party of principle is found in the fact that
Of the total of all the members of all the State
legislatures there are 1920 Republicans and
.oo2 Progressives. whereas the national Pro-
gressve ticket polled three-quarters OF a mil
lion more votes than the Republican ticket In
other words in the national field the Pro-
gressves were stronger than the Republicans,
while in the State fields, when Roosevelt's
personality was no issue the Republicans were
stronger than the Progressives.
1t may be said that in many States there
were no Progressive tickets. but this proves
nothing There we're no Progressive tickets
because there were not enough followers of
the State Progressive party to make 1t worth
while 1t is true also that many State cleo
tons took place before the Progressive party
was formed, but It remains to be seen how
many Progressives will be elected on State
tickets at the coming elections Here in Vir-
ginia there are almost as many followers of
Roosevelt as there old-line Republicans
hut It is safe to say that there will be scarcely

The reason is that they are followers of
Roosevelt not members of the Progressive
party
The fgures, for the State legislators of the
country are as follows Democrats. 5,s76; Re
publicans, 1920; Socialists, IT; Independents.

The Progressives profess to find great sig
nifcance In these figures claiming that they
have sufficient number of legislators to force
he enactment OF laws in accordance with the
national platform of their party The truth
Of this claim depends Of course, upon how
hose members are distributed In some State
legislatures the Progressives hold the balance
~ power, the division between the Republicans
and Democrats being so nearly equal that they
will be able to throw their strength to the
party which will offer them the most. but this
must be done in defiance of their leader who
has declared fatty against any fusion
To the average man the figures seem to be
more in favor of the Democratic party than
any other 1t shows that the party was
strong not only in national anairs but in the
States 1t shows that 1t controls the State
legislatures as we'll as the national congress
and the executive mansion.

MAKING WORK IN EDUCATION.

The Columbia State is objecting strenuousiy
TO some of the new ideas In education on the
ground that they tend to make education easy
d. the expense of it's practical value, II de-
tends the study OF mathematics Latin and other
Hdead languages. declaring that these studies
teach one to think: that they make him use
his mind. while the new ideas are founded
on the theory that they relieve the student Of
work.
The State thus describes what It calls the
~get-rich-quick philosophy of education
THE people of America may as we'll begin
TO understand that education cannot be OBJ
tained without effort. We may raise ignorance
TO high places in our political mansion, we
may bluff things through for Il while in al
most every line of endeavor but people can
not be educated unless they work. One may
