HIGHER EDUCATION
STANDARDS

Our age makes standards impera-
tive declares DIR. George Edwin Mac
Lean, formerly president of the State
University of Iowa, in a bulletin Just
issued by the United States Bureau of
Education. DIR. MacLean points out
how the same need tina has led to
standard gauge for railway tracks and
a common monetary basis applies to
of higher learning. In the
case of the universities, 1.-THE world
wide interchange of thought, exchange
of scholars, and migration of students
have inevitably created the demand for
recognized standards.
DIR. MacLean. attempts to portray the
standards of American higher educa-
ton as they have been and as they are.
After tracing the significant changes
that have taken place in American
college standards from colonial davs
down through the battle over the cleo
tive system, he discusses the present
standards of collegiate departments in
the United States standards of theo-
logical schools, medical schools, law
schools, schools of engineering, dental
schools, school of pharmacy, schools
of fine arts and music, and universities
in general.
In his summary DR.. MacI.ean s,,p-
sests that the increasingly high pro-
fesslonal standards, which make the
graduate 26 or 81 years old
in beginning the practice of his pro-
fession, form an important point in the
demand for a complete contamination
of educational system.

PUBLIC OFFlCE-There are indica-

many parts of this country during the

Homo of Pima Indian, and other
scenes on lacaton Reservation;
Director Of the Reclamation Serv-
ice, F. n. Newell.
(By Robert r. Wilson.)

Washington, April 12.-Tn it's re-
cent attack on the reclamation service
the house committee on expenditures
in the interior department touched up
on the story of the PINE Indian TRIBE
OF Arizona-the most tragic story on
the dark page of the history of the
white mans inhumanity to his red
brother of the southwest.
But now the friends of the reclama-
ton service are rushing forward to de-
clare that all of the government bu-
reaus the one under the direction of
Frederick H. Newell is the only one in
which this sha1nefully treated tribe has
found a friend. All others have been
deaf to the Pimas' passionate cry for
justice.
The. story Of the Pimas is similar to
h n told in Ramona, which made
thousands of Americans weep when
that novel was at the height of it's
popularity twenty years ago-the
story Of a peaceful people dwelling III
a vale of contentment for centuries;
h the coming of the white man,;
the pathetic advances of the red men
to be friends; but brutal disregard
Of the Indians right to life by the
whites; finally the fertile valley
turned into a desert; and the once
happy tribe, dispersed and broken up,
wandering as nomads and beggars
through the towns and cities of the
southwest.
Pimas Best Indian Tribe.
When white men discovered this con-
tinent the Pimas We're probably the
most highly civilized of all the Indian
tribes. They lived on a tract of sew
eral thousand acres of level valley
land through which ran the ella river.
When the Spaniard Babeza de Vaca
discovered them in 1885 they had been
irrigating this land from the ella fol-
centuries. They were the only Am
erican Indian tribe economically in
dependent. Being farmers pure and
simple, they never went hungry. The
other Indians, hunters, were subject
continually to the bitter famine de-
scribed in Longfellow's H%iawatha.
When the; Spanish missionaries Wis
sited the Pimas they became devou1
Christians. They also added sheer

ment sent them rations instead Of the
water they asked for. That wat be-
fore the reclamation act was passed.
There was no law to protect them,
and sc their protests fell on deaf
ears. Their valley, which had been
green with wheat, corn, sorghum, and
beans became a tparched desolation
except for a narrow strip along the
river where the nucleus of the tribe
eked out a living.
In 1906 the new reclamation service
came to their relief. A flood water
canal was built to convey to the land
the overflow water from the annual
freshets. But additional water was
needed. So the service began the
construction of a system of wells, the
water to be pumped into the bitches
by power from the great Roosevelt
dam in the Salt river, rs miles across
the mountains. Ten wells We're COM
pleted by last year, with water
enough to supply 10000 acres with
the help Of the flood canal. And the.
Pimas began to come back to their
homes.
But for ears the whites living
above the. reservation have been petit
tioning the reclamation service to con-
struct a great dam n project which
should irrigate the whole valley with
a single system. There is grave doubt
about the feasibility of such a dam.
But those urging it were naturally op-
posed to the system of wells which
would exempt the thousands OF acres
owned by the Indians from paving
their pro rata share of the cost of the.
proposed DAM, which under the law the
settlers IN any reclamation project
must do.
Misled by Whites.
And so white men on the Gila began
telling the Indians hat the well water
would be alkaline and would poison
and ruin their lands. The Indians
are %credulous n they accepted the
word of the whites, and the chief for
babe their people. to use any of the we'll
water.
But last year two of the younger
Fimas broke AVA from the tribal re-
s%traint, accepted ostracism, and irri-
gated with we'll water. The result
was they got the largest cotton crops
ever produced in the valley. For, in
fact, the we'll water is even less aka
line than water from the Salt river,
which is now irrigating hundreds of
farms. Next year 1t is expected that
the entire tribe will use their new irri-
cation system, that the nomads will
come home and that prosperity will
again be established at Sacaton, this
time forever.
The house committee attacked the
reclamation service because it built
a 100000 useless irrigation system
for the Pimas. The true reason of
that disuse is here set forth.

THE UNiVERSlTY-One of

THE UNiVERSiTY-One of the
special duties which devolve this sea-
son upon the chamber of
and upon the entire. business commu-
nifty, is the support of the spring and
summer activities at the state uni
versity. The people of Missoula must
this year rally to the support of the
inIer&@holastic meet as they have new
er done before. The meet, as arranged
this spring, will be the largest and
best that has ever been conducted by
that there are many of the states high
schools which will participate and tbs
entries have hardly had time to come
in. Always, Missoula has stood be-
hind the university in the manage
ment of this meet; this year the CO.
operation of the city will be extended
in just the same measure, we are sure.
The preliminary campaign for the
university's summer school is now
we'll under way. This feature of the
university's work. promises to become
n of the most important of the ac-
tivities of the institution. It's posi-
bilities are inestimable. The climate
of Missoula in the. summer months,
the splendid equipment which the uni
versity places at the disposal of the
students, the unusual opportunity for
expert instruction and the small cost
of the course. to the student and the
teacher who attend, all these are mat
tiers which make the summer course
at the university specially attractive
The opening attendance should be
large; the work of the school last sum-
mer demonstrated the possibilities.
AS the school becomes better known,
it should attract summer students
from all parts Of the country; it
should become one of the most i'm
portant phases of the university's
work. There are many ways in which
the people of Montana can assist in
making this summer school wha it's
hope it will be. And right
the thing for each one. of us to
do is to participate in the publicity
work which is being done to bring the
school to the notice of prospective
students.

SUPREME COURT
RUMOR PERSISTS
Little Foundation in Report Of
Proposed Resignation Of
Justice Holmes.
By Ernest q. walker.

(Mail Special to The Advcrtiser.)
WASN'T NOTION, January 1l.-One of
those Supreme Court rumors, which
now and then 80 the rounds, has re-
Gently been started. II pertains to
Justice Oliver w. Holmes, and is TO
the effect that he will retire from ac-
tive service early in the Wilson admin
stration so as to enable President Will
son to name MIR. Taft, who will then
be an eN-President, in his stead. First
and foremost the report is absolutely
without foundation. Justice Holmes
himself says so. He has been eligible
for retirement on full pay ever since
December last, on which date he had
seen ten years of service. The justice
is now past seventy years, which is the
age for voluntary retirement.
President Taft, of course, has had
nothing whatever to do with the story,
but 1t looks very, much as though some
of tho Presidents friends had. They
remember how he declined appointment
to the Supreme Court bench at the
hands of President Roosevelt, al
though he had very strong inclina-
tion for the bench and would have pre-
ferred service with the highest court
to becoming President. Mrs. Taft is
the last moment from accepting.
AS il happens Justice Holmes is now
the only member of the court who is
eligible for retirement and consequent
! ~ the report conferred on him. Those
stories keep going and draw out pub
lie sentiment, all of which may be n
helpful preliminary. And the opinion
is very decided in Washington that
whenever President Wilson has an OPP
portunity to nominate a justice for the
supreme court very much will be said
about the desirability of selecting his
predecessor in the White House for
that place.
In that connection it may be ex-
pected that Mr.. Taft's friends will
keep the story in circulation and that
= will he hobbing up VOW and then.
With Justice Holmes present deter
mination not to retire, as he is in
good physical condition, there is little
prospect of a Supreme Court vacancy
for a considerable time.
Justices of the Supreme Court usually
select their own good time for retiring
from active service. But many remem-
Der what a crusade was started dur
ing the Roosevelt administrations with
reference to the late Chief Justice Full
or. Colonel Roosevelt wished to have
the nomination of chief justice and
it is believed he knew just whom he
wished to nominate.
There was pretty well defined opin-
ion as to where the stories about the
chief Is prospective resignation started
They annoyed the aged head of the
court measurably and continued in
spite of the fact and the tradition that
Chief Justices of the Supreme Court of
the United States die in Office.
Chief Justice Fuller never had any
idea of retiring aud, just as he had in
tepded to do, died chief justice on
the active list.
