Piles of what may be attained in pro-
noting economy and efficiency, and
they, as well as the taxpaying people,
want substantial recognition of the
service they have given and are in a
position to continue.
1t is known that the commission
has started inquiry in a score OF gov
eminent functions, and must of ne
cessity be continued in operation II
the public is to receive the full bene-
tit of its work. and that, too, with a
generous appropriation to cover the
essential cost of just investigation
and a scientific blending of related
departments and commissions. 1t is
something of a secret that the COM
mission could have reported addi-
tional economies at this session, but
were practically advised by Gov
ernor Wilson to suggest a few, the
better to insure favorable legislative
consideration and possibly to allay
the sordid greed of seeerks for
spoils. 1t is known, too, that with
the best scientific information OBJ
tainable the commission has accum-
ulated data to prove that in a steady
course of research and open inquiry
there can be established a net an
nual saving OF from $550,000 to
100000, and that. too, without
in any sense m%utilating government
supervision, or setting up something
unsymmetrical and out of alignment
with best modern business methods.
Naturally the aim of those affect
ed by such a system of pruning are
arrayed against what may touch
their interests while it sets up a re-
gime OF economy and efficiency, and
their plants are carried only to
Democratic legislators. 1t is this ac-

In the bills offered by the Economy

may yet be a race among the candi-

tainly will be among those Of the
Republicans, to be the first to set up

no doubt that a discriminating public
will unite for that one who best
promises practical results.
The coming week probably will
witness some outward sign from
Acting Governor Fielder in the di-

out of Senate committees, and such
action as will show that he appre-
ciates the opportunity to help the
people while adding to his own pop

HIGH SCHOOLS
AND COLLEGES
Must bs Adjusted for Real
Educational System.

UNLESS the American high school
and the American college are adjust
ed, We have no real educational sys-
tenn" says Clarence d. Kingsley, in a
bulletin on College-entrance require
ments just issued by the United
States Bureau of Education. In
these words he sums up the current
demand that the colleges of the
country shall give the high schools
more freedom in their work by ceas-
ing to insist upon requirements for
entrance that hamper the school in
its duty to the community. He in
sists that the colleges recognize the
changing demands in the high school
and base their requirements accord
ingly. He objects alike to the easy"
college that admits students obvious
ly unprepared and the institution
whose demands are SO stringent that
none of the public high schools can
reasonably meet them.
Notwithstanding recent changes In
the direction of uniformity. great
variety in requirements is still found.
| English Is about the only regularly
required subject. Curious contradic-
tons appear in the several hundred

jects are considered so important by
some colleges that they require them.
while other colleges will not even
accept them. Thus. for admission to
the A. B. course there are four col.
leges that give no credit for science.
I and four that give credit for only
half a year OF it, while, on the other
hand, ninety-one colleges prescribe

Predictions as these says Mr.. Kings-
! ley, burden the high school, provi-
cialize college student bodies, and
discredit fine determinations be-
tween subjects" Again, some coll
leges rigidly enforce the statements
! printed in the catalogue, while others
leave much discretionary power to
the officer in charge of admission.
Some real improvements in the
Relation of high school and college
are noted, however, showing that
these two important agencies in cdu-
, cation are more willing to help each
other than they have been in the
! past. Many colleges now accept va
rious practical subjects for admis-
sion. or the 203 colleges of liberal
arts examined, 81 recognized shop

agriculture, AMI 70 "household
science" as subjects of admission.
There is a large and growing list OF
colleges that will accept for entrance
any subject that a. approved high
school counts toward graduation.
| That admission to college should
be based solely on the completion OF
q well-planned high school course;
that the high school should be given
free play, so that it may adapt it's
work to the needs of the community;
and that the colleges must keep the
door open to the youthful seeker af-
ter a college education who is ami
mated by a strong inner purpose in
the face of obstacles regardless OF
whether he has fulhllei the old
fashioned formal requirements or
not: these are some of the eonclu-
sions drawn by Mr.. Kingsley as to
the mutual duty of school and COLI
lege.

BURNS MAN is

Police Thought He Was a
Suspicious Character.

Much mystery surrounds the al
most daily appearance of a Burns de-
tective In Lewis street in the vicinity
of State street. His actions became
so suspicious recently that he was
taken into custody by the police as
being a suspicious character. After
he had experienced some difficulty in
establishing his identity to the sat
isfaction of Chief of Police Burke,
the detective was released. He has
since been seen in Lewis street and
was there Friday.
Another private detective was ques.
toned by Chief of Police Burke about
a month ago when he was seen loung-
ing near the First National Bank
building. The chief watched his for
days. Thinking he might be a sneak
thief awaiting an opportunity to make
a grab, the chief inquired about his
business.
