EDUCATION STANDARDS.

"Our age makes standards impera-
tive" declares DR.. George Edwin
MacLean, formerly president of the
State University of Iowa, in a bull
letin issued by the United States
Bureau of Education, and he points
out how the same need that has led
to standard gauge for railway tracks
and a common monetary basis APP
plies to institutions of higher learn
ing. After tracing the significant
changes that have taken place in
American college standards from
colonial days down through the bat
tie over the elective system, he dis
cusses the present standards of col
legiate departments in the United
States; standards of theological
schools, law schools. schools of en-
cheering, dental schools, schools of
pharmacy. schools of fine arts and
music and universities in general. In
his summary DR.. MacLean suggests
that the increasingly high profess
sional standards which make the
American graduate 26 or q years old
in beginning the practise of his pro-
fession form an important point in
the demand for a complete reorgani-
cation of the educational system.

WI SONS IoEAs OF A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION

While the President will also urge
the keeping of the party pledge for
constitutional convention, he will
make this of secondary Importance "a
the jury program. In his opinion the
Democratic majority in the Legisla-
ture is pledged to call constitutional
convention, but is not necessarily
pledged to adopt the plan of numeri-
cal representation in such a conven-
ton. The Democratic promises OF
municipal home rule, the need for
simplifying the method of amending
the constitution, the need of change
in the judiciary system, the popular
demand for the creation of assembly
districts, and other reforms which can
be accomplished only through con-
stitutional convention, are of greater
immediate Importance, the President
believes, than senatorial reapportion-
ment. These more important reforms
and changes can be made as well by
a convention made up of an equal
number of delegates from each county
in q convention, 1t has been urged
upon the President and for this reas
son it would be better to have con-
vention called in which the county
rights question would not arise, than
to split the party over this question.
1t is also the Presidents belief that.
while the party is pledged to the cali
ing of a constitutional convention, it
is not pledged to call a convention in
which the northern counties will have
control. He will urge that the Legis-
lature shall keep the pledge to call
convention, but will take the ground
that there was no party pledge as to
how the delegates to such conven-
ton should be apportioned, for which
reason he believes the calling of
convention with an equal number of
delegates from each county will be a
redemption of the letter and spirit of
the platform promise.

Loose Paper Nuisance.

Loose Paper Nuisance.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
l believe there is an ordinance in
effect concerning the covering of
loose paper and other refuse when
being carted through the streets of
the city in an open wagon. 1t would
be of benefit to the cleanliness and
beauty of the city if this ordinance
was strictly enforced.
On several occasions I have seen
wagons owned by manufacturing con-
Germs carrying loose paper without
being baled or covered. In each in
stance the wind has blown the paper
from the wagon and Uttered the
streets, while the driver has driven
on without stopping to remedy the
fault. On one occasion a driver passed
by a policeman, who, unless he was
extremely near-sighted, must have
seen the paper fiuttering about, and
remarked about the inconvenience of
driving in windy weather. Not one
word was said about the loose paper.

WASHINGTON, April 8.
If President Wilson should go to
New Jersey to speak in the interests
of his favorite legislation before the
Legislature convenes in special ses-
sion on May Z, he will not attend the
opening of the special session, nor
address the members of the Legisla-
ture. At least that is not his present
intention. His visit to his home State
will probably be confined to speaking
at one or two meetings in the north
ern part of the State, although If it is
thought wise and necessary, he may,
if it can be arranged, address a meet
ing in Monmouth county, and can
upon the citizens of that section TO
see that Speaker Taylor does his duty
in helping to redeem party pledges.
No dates have yet been fixed for
the Presidents trip to New Jersey,
and the time set will depend very
largely upon Governor Fielder, with
whom he will probably appear at the
same meetings, in advocacy OF the
jury reform measure.
Mr. Wilson will urge upon the Vot-
ers that they demand of their repre-
sentatives in the Legislature the
keeping of every platform pledge. In
his opinion. the most important Of
these unkept pledges is that for the
creation of Jury commissions, and he
will demand that bill creating COM
missions shall be enacted into law
without any referendum provision
The election of Democratic Legisla-
ture last fall, on a platform which de-
clared for jury reform, in itself con-
stituted a Statewide referendum on
this question, the President believes,
and he will insist that law shall be
passed which will go into effect at
once

with an air of pleasant raillery.

Mr.. shrimplin was knowing ter
rible moment of doubt, especially ter
rible because the doubt was of him
self. lie was aware that Custer
would expect much of him in the
present crisis, and he was equally
certain that he would not rise to the
occasion. If somebody would only
come that way! And he listened
the road. but all he heard was that
oft-repeated call for help that came
wailing from the black shadows be-
yond the slaughter house. Suddenly
Custer answered the call with a re-
assuring cry.
Perhaps it's another murder!" he
said
oh my Cod" gasped shrimplin.
and there flashed through his mind
the horror Of that other night.
Custer Slipped out of the cart.
Come on" he cried.
He was vaguely conscious that his
father was not Selling the present OPP
portunity to distinguish himself with
any noticeable avidity. He had ex-
pected to see that conqueror of bad
men and cowtowns. the somewhat
ruthless. but always manful slayer of
One-eye Murphy, descend from his
cart with astonishing alacrity, and,
needless in his tried courage, stride
down into the darkness beyond the
slaughter house. But Mr.. Shrimplin
did nothing of the sort; he made no
move to quit his seat. Surely some
thing had gone wrong with the Will

cried Custer, breathlessly.
