GOOD ENGLISH Is WANTED

The formal opening OF the forty-third
college year at Stevens Institute OF Tech
nology occurred Yesterday when the new
students mstriculated and the students OF
the three upper classes enrolled DIT
Alexander G.. Humphreys. the president
addressed the undergraduates in the au-
dtorium
Or. Humphreys referred TO the work
done In the summer school which was
conducted I'm the vacation season for the
first time in the history OF Stevens FOR
the students who were deficient I'm their
studies AZ the end Of the last college year.
He also dwelt on the necessity Of en-
gineers as we'll as other professional men,
using good English.
Referring 10 the attitude toward each
other OF faculty and students he said:
There are two influences in the way OF
a complete realization OF our wishes;
The lack OF time 10 give such indi-
vidual attention TO each student as could
be given II he were a private pupil
THE difficulty often found in diferen-
tiating between sympathy and improper
favoritism.
In all things earthly it is difficult 10
preserve an even. balanced. sane attitude
OF mind. This difficulty Is particularly
apparent in this country to-day. when
nearly all OF our public men and women
and many more who want TO gain noto-
riety insist upon being extremists
They think ii is a sign Of weakness or
nediocrity not 20 be radical The country
IS ove-run with people who are aiming
TO be leaders. while they should be hum

sioners, who had been abroad for several
months with his family.
Rejecting the European feeling tow

The opinion in Europe to-day is that
Mr.. Wilson made a great mistake in Sc
lecting Mr.. Bryan to fill the most I'm
portant office in his Cabinet. They think
abroad that Mr. Bryan has made farce
OF diplomacy. Europe thinks that the
United States has been grossly and de!ib-
erately insulted by Mexico for long
time. and President Wilson is laughed at
for his academic attitude.
They say abroad that President VII
son will nave TO get rid Of Bryan and set
tie the Mexican situation or the country

Wilson. We will have to annex Mexico
eventually and We might az well do II
