STANDARDS OF HIGHER
EDUCATION.

"Our age makes standards inn
perativc," declares DR.. George
Edwin MacLean, formerly presi-
dent of the State University of
Iowa, in a bulletin just issued by
the United States bureau of edu-
cation. Doctor MacLean points
out how the same need that has
led to standard gauge for railway
tracks and common monetary
basis applies to institutions of
higher learning. In the case of
the universities, the worldwide
interchange of thought, exchange
of scholars, and migration OF stu
dents have inevitably created
the demand for recognized stand
ards.
Doctor MacLean attempts TO
portray the standards of Amcri-
can higher education as they have
been and as they are. After trac-
ing the significant changes that
have taken place in American col
lege standards from colonial days
down through the battle over the
elective system, he discusses the
present standards of collegiate de-
partments in the United States
standards of theological schools,
medical schools, law schools,

THE PopE's HUMANITY.

Pope Plus Y, who is now upon
his deathbed, has been described
as "the most human Pope" of
modern times and one of the rea-
sons for this description. comes in
the fact that His Holiness was the
first Pontiff who ever smoked
cigars in the Vatican. 4 Shortly
after the election of Cardinal Sar-
to, writer in the New York Tri-
bune said:
Both Leo and Plus TX were
wont to indulge in snuff but no
Pontiff has ever until now been
known to smoke cigars, like the
present occupant of the chair of
st. Peter. Indeed, his pronounced
fondness for the fragrant weed is
a subject of no little concern to
those prelates and dignitaries of
the court of the Vatican, who fe-
gard any breach of etiquette as
something akin to a sin. For
among the Italian clergy smoking
by those in holy orders is rather
discoumtenanced, and when Plus
X was Patriarch of Venice, his
cheerful disregard of their ethics
in the matter was wont to diseon-
cert the clerical members of his
household, their measiness being
increased by the fact that the par
ticular brand affected by the Pa
triarch was that of an exceedingly
cheap and to foreigners somewhat
unpalatable cigar bearing the
name of that Italian statesman,
Cavour, who, while regarded as
the founder of the unity of Italy,
is looked upon at the Vatican as
the originator of that policy which
eliminated in the loss by the Holy
See OF its temporal possessions.
IF | call attention to this fact.
1t is because it goes to confirm the
assertion frequently made since
the last conclaye that Plus X. is
the most human Pope in modern
times and also because it will tend
to create fresh bond of sympathy
between the Holy Father and
those numerous members of the
Roman Catholic clergy in this
country who see no harm in seek
ing solace and innocent enjoyment
IN a cigar or even in a pipe. II
Will certainly relieve their minds
to know that there is no danger
whatsoever Of Plus X re-issuing
the bull against the use of tobacco
sent forth by Pope Urban VIII"

A BIT OF HISTORY.

According to a London paper,
the British sutfragettes have been
losing ground since they adopted
a policy of violence. 1t points out
that away back in 1868 a bill
granting the suffrage to women
got as far as second reading and
that ever since the bulk of public
OPINION has been in their favor.
Inc militant sutfragist might very
well retort that this is the aggra-
waiting part of ito have the bulk
OF public opinion in their favor in
their fight for the suffrage.
IL is interesting as matter of
history to recall that about the
time the British public first began
to show itself favorable to the
claims of women in regard to the
suffrage there was considerable
disturbance from another quarter.
1t was IN 1867 that John Stuart
Mill introduced his resolution in
favor OF extending the parliament
iary o franchise to women. 1t was

COLORADO coMMoNsENsE.

The State of Colorado has IL
coininonsensc way of treating
state prisoners by making them
build roads, with the result that
mile after mile Of roadway is built
which the counties would other
wise do without. Last year the
conyicts built Isl miles of good
road and saved the taxpayers of
the State quarter of a million
dollars. If there be any good rea-
son why this Territory cannot
take a hundred long-termers and
build the island belt roads, it has
never yet been whispered. OF
course, there would be howl
from the citizen laborers, who can
not see that there are more roads
to be built and maintained than
there will be money to build and
maintain them with for the next
twenty years.
In Colorado the convicts have
been employed largely upon the
mountain and more difficult roads,
and the model highways they have
constructed have stimulated road
Improvement and development in
every section of fhe State and
have given Colorado nationwide
reputation for its increasingly
good roads.
Two of the mountain roads
which have attracted widespread
attention are the state highway
between Colorado Springs and
Canon City and the Lincoln high
way through Ute Pass west from
Colorado Springs, Colorado City
md Manitou.
Warden Il. j. lyman states in
his reports that the average cost
to the different counties of this
road work has been 80 per day
per man, making a total cost of
$40, 1884. Adding $10,0S0, the
cost for feed for teams, the total
labor cost to the counties was
SAG, S05,44, or the average cost of
t29S.12 per mile. He pointed out
The difficulty of estimating the i'm
nense cost of the roads because of
the great amount of blasting and
other heavy work necessary on
the mountain roads. Figuring on
1872 men working 610 days at $500
per day; stwenty masons and ce-
ment workers at $500, and five
blacksmiths at $4.00 per day, and
twenty-one teams at $3.50 per day.
the warden estimates the value of
the labor to the counties as 1885,
2S5, to which. he adds $4,000 for
depreciation and interest on state
equipment. lie said, "This labor
did not compete with the free

Colorado has been one of the pio-
neer States in the adoption of the

A PROGRAM FOR THE FARMERS

President Butterfield of the State
Agricultural College is very anxious to
get a State commission stan ted on a
two-year task of investigating the re-
lationship of the State to rural develop
ment in Massachusetts. He brought it
before his trustees and, if they are not
deferred by knowledge of the fate of
most two-year State Investigations,
they may urge it. What President
Butterfield is seeking to reach is CO.
ordination of activities in the Common
wealth for country life and agricultural
advance. The State College, under his
lead, is beginning to realize on its
opportunities, but it has a long way to
go before it can reach any such results
as Wisconsin University yielded to it's
farmers.
President Butterfeld has worked out
q sound program, which includes some
large enterprises of rural life, in which
the Commonwealth could give assistance
to advantage. They are:
l. Secure the best use of present
cultivated areas.
2. Develop the waste and unim-
proved areas.
3. Help the farmers to secure an adj
equate farm labor supply.
A. Establish a better system of rural
credit.
5. Devise a more efficient system of
marketing.
6. Perfect the system of agricul-
tural education.
T.. Get and keep the right kind of
people on the land.
g.. Secure a fairly complete organi-
cation of agriculture and country life.
Why delay effort along these emf
nently helpful lines by two years more?
The State has a number of agencies in
this field, and they could cooperate
from this time on actively. The more
general their share the better for the
whole project,
President Butterfield says that the
outlook for agriculture was never
better in this State. This should itself
aid a general movement. The idea
