In an editorial article published in

Waterloo saloons under ,he caption Of

perance.

UNLESS the American high school
and the American college are adjusted,
we have no real educational system,
says Clarence D. Kingsley, in bulle-
tin on college entrance requirements
just issued by the Uniter States bu-
reau 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 ceasing to INSIST upon require
ments for entrance that hamper the
school in it's duty to the community.
He insists that the colleges recognize
the changing demands in the high
school and base their requirements &C
cordingly. He objects alike TO the
easy" college that admits students
obviously unprepared and the institu-
ton 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 va
riety in requirements is still found.
English IS about the only regularly
required subject. Curious contradic-
tons appear in the several hundred in
stittuions examined. Certain subjects
are considered so important by some
colleges that they require them. while
them. Thus. for admission 10 the A. B,
course there are four colleges that give
no credit for science, and four that
give credit for only half year of it.
while, on The other hand. ninety one
colleges prescribe one full year Of sci
ence Such contradictions as these"
says Nj Kingsley, burden the high
school, provicialize college SUDDEN;
modes. and dscredir fine discrin2ina-
tons between subjects" Again. some
colleges -igidly enforce the statements
printed in the caralos while others
leave much discretionary power TO the
officer in charge Of admission.
Some real improvements in the rela-
zion Of high school and college are
noted. however, showing that these
TWO important agencies in education
are more willing 10 help each other
than they have been in the past. Many
colleges TOW accept vartousp tactical
subjects for admission. OF the @03 col

That admission to college should be

the needs of the community; and that

New York, May estate Senator
Stephen j. StiIwell fought hard to
clear himself when he was placed on
trial for bribery in connection with
bills involving the New York Stock Elk
change. He had previously been cleared
by the state senate, before which the
same charges were laid by George r.
Kendall. president Of the New YORK
Bank Note Company. Kendall claimed
that Stilwell made demands for money
to secure the passage Of bills making
it an offense for the New York Stock
Exchange to refuse to recognize stocks
printed by Kendalfs company. The
criminal action against the senator
aroused wide interest.

.AScHoRlNG AGAINST ADVERSELY

.ANCHORING AGAINST ADVERSELY
tCouncli Bluffs Nonpa-eil.l
An enterprising real estate dealer has
devised a most excellent method oil
getting buyers. He not only goes out
to find buyers but h seeks 10 create
them out OF the material which lies all
around For instance. he says. "A stick
Of gum. cent. buys lO.se square feet
Of ground at the rate Of $40 per acre
On the same basis package OF gum
or cent cigar buys oi-4o square feet
of earth AT the same rate.
Imagine a man dropping a penny in
the slot and taking therefrom title to
a square yard Of earth to be chewed a
few moments and then spit ont on the
sidewalk 4 nickel would bring SIX
square Yards Twenty five cents per
day wastes at $40 per acre. something
over thirty square yards of earth per
day Imagine a man cutting chunks
like this out of his farm. Fifty cents
per day would mean sixty square yards
OF earth on this basis the eXpendi-
ture for one year measured in dirt
would be 4.96 acres.
Few people who indulge IN these
friyolities stop to count the cost IL
inventory were once made there would
most likely be readjustment This
real estate man heads his observations
on this subject, "Anchoring Against
Adyersity' That is. save money and
buy land This dealer goes further
and asks boys TO figure how much as
paragus strawberries. potatoes. corn
or other products could be raised on
80 cents worth OF land on this basis?
still further mental exercise might
be INDUCED in by careless parents along
this line If. instead of spending 90
cents per day for frivolities. the father
who means all the time to do the right
thing. put this sum in savings bank
in order to teach the boy how it would
grow. and in order further that he
might constitute himself good ex-
ample what sort OF result would fol-
love- Again, If the father would invest
even the 5 cents per day for few
months with the son in renting a gar
den for market purposes to be operated
Jointly on shares. what golden profits
might be reaped in later years?
After all. the money spent in frivoli-
ties is only a small part Of the loss in
volved. The most serious damage Is
the inevitable lax habits which are
formed thru these instruments A real
estate dealer who can close deal with
| man who as part of the contract
agrees to form the habit Of "Anchoring
Against Adrersity' is oenefactor OF
his race rather than a beneficiary OF
unearnei increment.

POLICE AND GREEK CLASSICS.

They are poking a great deal of fun
at the Chicago police censors who
assed on some of the classic films.
One of the films told the story of the
Greek tragedy "Oedipus Rex" whici
is a classic in literature. The police
censor passed the following judgment
on it:
Wen let the immortality charge
pass. but we can't stand for some of
the rough stuff You can't show the
film unless YOU cut out the place
where the woman hangs herself, after
she finds she has married her own
son. and also the place where the
0edipus ,unat!c gouges out his eyes.
Hidicus and brutal exhibitions are
not permitted in films, classic or no
classics.
However much fun they may poke
a, that policeman, he came nearer
the essential truths than his critics
The fact that brutal scene is taken
from the classic literature OF the
Greeks does not make it less brutal or
less revolving. Those who study 1T
erature in the colleges may be able
to comprehend the scenes involved IN
this play, but the average thoughtless

Citations. To him ii viii be simply
