convenience. 1t was very often worth
the while of the sender of a letter to
pay cents in order to secure the ao-
knowledgment of the person to whom II
was addressed that II had been deliy-
cred to him. This was the point of the
registration in nine cases out of ten.
That 1t was seen by the department so
to be is shown by the advertisements
the department issued exhorting the
public to register valuable letters and
parcels: 1T brings you a receipt" The
fee was, of course, much greater than
the cost of the service, and must have

side OF the post-office ledger
When the economist came in, however.
Ii struck him that the profit would be
still greater IL the fee were increased
and no service rendered in return for it.
So the fee was increased from cents to
10 and the return of receipts made SUBJ
ject to special request by the sender.
The increase was jutifiable enough; who
ever would pay cents for a receipt
would pay 10. But the check on the re-
turn of receipts deprived the registration
of all value to the great majority of
those who used IL and paid for it. Even
the promise of a receipt when specifically
requested has been found fallacious bv,
those who have trusted to 1t. The re-
suit must be that the public will decline

: SPECIALIZATION" OF THE COLLEGES
FROM THE SPRINGFIELD REPunL1cAN.

That colleges changing rapidly to meet new
conditions is obvious, but it. is difficult to find
single principal which will serve either as guide
or as description. Prof Walter Libby, of North
western University, writing in the Popular Science
Monthly, uses the term Specialization" and it will
fit many of tfle phenomena, and also sums up the
programme of many educational reformers. Prof.
Libby puts it: THE social test of college culture
would suggest many changes in the content and
method of college courses The spirit of pedantry,
to which all academic life is liable at times to fall
VICTIM would be rectifed by the challenge, What
is the social value and import of this?'"
The principle is good as far it goes, but is
there not some danger of pressing it too far, of
applying it where it has no proper application?
ideaed social fanatic in Fathers and Sons" who
is scornfully derisve of middle-aged man who
can find pleasure in music when society needs to
be reformed Prof Libby has touch of the same
rgor and denounces the dilettante pursuit of arts
and foreign languages: I'm the years of maturity
the cultivation of these interests has something of
the pathos of arrested development recurring to the
styles and ideals of the teens" But he refers to
the age OF society rather than of the individual,
and his logic would seen to imply that study must
progressively deal with "the betterment of the hui
man race" rather than with the cultivation of the
individual
The difficulty with this theory, which has much
currency just now, is that it defeats itself Why

Regard for the mass is excellent and will grow,
but it must not be allowed to impair the develop

literary man who keeps his work up to the highest

professional man or merchant workingman who

Not 4 Flea in Senatorial Circles.

The Popular Magazine: When
Arizona was admitted to statehood
and Henry f. Ashurst was sent to-
Washington as senator, he took with
him a wife socially equipped for the
job in every sense OF the word, and
brainy and educated to a great degree.
Irish by birth, she has been celebrated,
eve since she came to the United
States, for her wit. All Of that, how
ever, was of little avail when she came
to mix in the middle Of political prece-
dence.
She was confronted by the necessity
of having to call on the wives of sem
ators who outranked her husband in
service, and at the same time to res
ceive the return visits of those upon
whom she had already called. When
she fulfilled the obligation on .one side.
Thursday being senatorial calling day,
b could not discharge It on the other.
II she omitted Il call, some senator's
wife was sure to complain Of her lack
Of attention, and, il she did call, ii
other senator's wife asked why she
did not observe her Thursday at home.
So there she was between the upper

It was at the Dolly Madison break

Double arreled Escape.

MINERS are among the most heroic
4F1 people in the world: Dangersis
always beside them, and they are
schooled to believe that at any time
they will come face to face with
death. The result Of this is that they
are humorous in their holiness.
In one of the mines in the North Of
England there was a cavern which
imprisoned a miner. The accident
happened on Friday afternoon, and
the fellow laborers of the entombed
man set to work to dig him out. 1t
was not until Sunday morning, how
ever that they reached his prison
chamber, and by this time they were
wondering whether he had been suffo-
Gated or starved to death. One Of
them stuck his head through the
aperture made by the picks Of the
rescuers and called out:
Jack, are you all right?"
"All right" came the reply, and
then, after a pause; What day is
this?''
Sunday" answered the friend.
