The Expert Witness.
From the Memphis News-scimi,ar.


The Los Angeles bar has up for consid-
Grafton bill for the reform of the meth
DDS of securing expert testimony in the
California courts, a measure that should
interest those of the legal profession and
laymen as well In all parts of the coun-
try. The plan projected by the bill is for
the trial judge to appoint the experts,
one or more, as he sees fit to investigate
and testify, not as partisans for either
side but as representatives OF the court
In criminal cases the fees of the wit
nesses are to be paid by the county, and
in civil cases the expenses are to be
equally divided between the parties to the
suit. The expert witness seems to be a
fixture. His services are demanded upon
all occasions, and he is called to give
testimony upon all subjects from amnesia
to zythersaries The expert witness may
not be an expert liar. though ne has been
knon to alter his convictions overn, ght
so that his testimony of one day fatty
contradicts that of the day preceding.
Rather let US say he Is like the amoeba,
which zoology tells us Is capable of I'M
the chen,e!eon, which takes its color from
that upon which it depends. The Los
Angeles bill should be put through with
out amendments that will nuiify or de-
stroy the intent of its authors. 1t will
serve to raise the standard OF expert tes-
timony. it will curb the cup dity of the
dishonest expert witness: 1t will no doubt
simplify and shorten court proceedings,
and It will protect each party interested
in the suit in so far as he deserves pro-
lection.

EDUCATION IN INDIA.
England's Task and Question Of
School Hygiene.
From the London standa I'd.

from tne l.OnCOn Stdndaru.
The educational policy of the gov
eminent of India is naturally con-
trolled by many local conditions. Far
more important however, than the
variation of the social and religious
environment of, the children are the
two facts that the child population is
vast and that funds are limited. These
hit primary education more heavily
than any other part of the work. 1t is
quite impossible to grant free educa
ton, and equally impossible to make
elementary education compulsory. Yet
all education must necessarily have its
foundation in the raising of the chill
dren from a state of ilIiteracy.
On the subject the government re-
port, just issued, states:
THE propositions that illiteracy must
be broken down. and that primary edu-
! cation has. in the present circum-
stances of India predominant claim
upon the public funds represent &C
copied policy no longer open to dis
cussion. For financial and administra-
tive reasons of decisive weight the
government of India has refused to
recognize the principle of compulsory
educa ton; but they desire the widest
possible extension OIL PRIMARY cuuC1-
ton on a popular basis. AS regards
free elementary education the time has
not yet arrived when it Is practicable
to dispense wholly with fees without
! injustice to the many villages which
are waiting for the provision of
schools. In some provinces elementary
education is already free; and in the
majority of provinces liberal provision
| is already made for giving free ele-
mentary instruction to- those boys
/ whose parents cannot afford fees
| AS a. matter of fact there is still
more elementary problem awaiting In
dia's education authorities, and that is
to make. the existing schools decently
sanitary. Some of the photographs
given in the report show that this will
be'a very great task. So each local
government is now being asked to APP
point a small committee of experts,
medical and educational to inquire
into, school and college hygiene. 1t
would take too much space to set out
all the matters that these committees
are asked to investigate, but it may
be generally stated that they are to
! report on medical inspection, with spe-
| cial reference to Infectious diseases
eyesight. and malaria; to find out the
sanitary condition of schoolhouses and
hotels. and to discover. If possible. the
! length of day, home studies and other
matters best for the health Of the stu
dents under varying conditions of eli
| mate.

ENGLISH GIRLS FOR CANADA.
Immigrants Do Not Find What They
Expected.
From the Montreal Star.

From the Montreal Star.
A l:felike picture of what Canada looks
like to a girl from the British Islands
who comes out here to find an oppor-
tunity to make living. appears in the
current National Review from the pen
of Mics Ella Sykes. who made the jour
ney with protected party'-that is.
party guided and guarded by a matron.
She tells in detail the story of the jour-
ney from Euston station to Winnipeg
where she left the party-and then adds
a good deal about what she subsequently
learned of the fate OF the girls.
The first thing which strikes a Cana
dian. in reading this record, is the good
work. which might be done by our peoale
in making these sisters of ours more
welcome. Surely we cannot very wei ge .
a better class of immigrants than these
English, Scotch and Irish girls well Sc
lected and of considerable education. who
are crowded out by the cOngested indus
trial conditions of the mother country.
and ask leave to help US make sound

them work-at least to begin W th-as
domestic servants, an opening which is
take positions where they can ha dly be
regarded as competing with the native
born.
Another feature, which attracts the at
Ignorance ot conditions out here under
which these women labor. Things We
have been. familiar with ali our lives and
take for granted. are novelties to them
This is, indeed, one of the tragedies of
emigration. A British farm lad. nearing
that game IS not preserved, in Canada,
and that there are plenty of rivers to fisn
and woods to hunt, imagines that he vii
be in paradise once he IS settled on Ca
madam farm: but he soon finds that many
other features of British farm life-whil h
he regarded as universai-are lacking u
Paris an mother once told tine writer tina :
she was trying hard to arrange to send
her son to the Canadian west because
he was SO fond of ia chasse'.: wheleas
the writer was cruel and unpatrbt c
enough to tell the fond mother that if
her Paris-bred son went TO the Canadian
west he would be chiefly enga Jed in
Chasing the cows home to mix and tn .
poultry out of the garden patch. Some
thing more than a taste for genteel
French hunting S needed to make a sue
cess of farming in Canada.
Our immigration authorities should make
study of life in Britain. and then strive
as nearly as possih to present a D cture
of Canadian fe against the background
The prospective emigrants ought to re
told what they will mss as well as. what
they Will find. That is only honest de IL
ing; and, in the long run. will be by far
the hest policy for Canada. We do not
want discontented immigrants out here.
They distress us-tend TO join the army
of the unemployabie''-and send back
home the worst advert sing matter pos
sible for this great and glorious Do

rivals get few settlers away from US
than to attract them under what has
precisely the same effect as false pre-
lenses"

Forty-Six Years a Deputy.
rom the London Chronicle.

French political life bears the reputa-
ton of being so full of vicissitudes that
it is somewhat surprising to find among
the deputies returned at the general cleo
ton one with longer record Of parlia-
mentary service than any member of the
house of commons This distinction be-
longs to M de Mackau, who is eighty two
years of age, and has sat for the depart
ment OF Orne since 1866, first in the corps
legislatif OF the second empire, and SUBJ
seauently in every chamber of deputies
elected under the third republic. None
of the present members of the house of
commons was elected before 1868.

Most Brilliant OF Season
TANNERS PLAY FEATURES

In two of the best played games Of
the season, the Bemidji Athletics
and high school fves won from the
st. Cloud G. "A. G. and Bagley high
school teams, by scores OF So to II
and Il to Z. Saturday night.
st. Cloud went into the contest de-
tenmined to wipe out the blot IN
their record caused by the defeats Of
Thursday and Friday nights, but the
Bemidji boys played with vim
which soon made 1t evident that they
were not to be denied another vic
tory. The first half of the con-
test was fast and Bemidji maintained
It's lead throughout the entire game.
Scores Eighteen Points
For Bemidji Brandon again took
the leading role. and during the con-
test the clever little captain secured
10 points, throwing six field baskets
and as many fouls. Bestul, Benz
idji's star guard was much In evil
dence during the entire game, and
not only did he keep his man from
throwing more than one basket, but
was fives times able. to find the net.
Neumann and Howe played a
strong game, their floor work being
especially good. Only one basket
was made during the series off Bes-
tut, an unusual record for a guard.
Peck was not in his best form and
Murphy landed for four counts dur
ing the first half, although during
the last twenty minutes OF play the
fast St. Cloud forward was held
scoreless.
While the st. Cloud Bemidji game
was fast, the interest caused by the
game between the high schools was
just as great. Teamwork, such as
that displayed by the Bemidji five
is seldom seen, and repeatedly the
local team would carry the ball the
entire length of the hall for tally.
Tanner. Bemidji's forward, was the
bright star of the evening. This
speedy player by his clever playing
FL times netted the baM for field
goals while once he added point
by the foul route. His floor work
was sensational. Elletson also play
ed good ball, although rough at
times. Cameron at centre, Riley
at guard and Graham at guard all
deserve credit for the victory. Plum
mer, who took Riley's place in the
last half, more than made good.
