SAYS STUDENTS SHOULD !.
GOVERN UNIVERSITIES.
Place Professors Under Rule of
Their Clientele, Is Advice
of ]. D. Warner.

Declaring that the students in the great
universities should form the governing
bodies in their respective college COM
munities. John De Witt Warner of New
York, a Cornell graduate speaking at the
University Club Saturday night on STU
dents Should Govern Universities" advo-
Gated the placing Of college and univer-
sity professors on the same basis as
others who depend upon the will of their
clientele.
THE faculties of today contain too
large proportion OF those who are hold
ing positions as 'tirnekeeperS, " declared
Mr.. Warner. only picked men should
be allowed to go to our universities, and
why then should not the selection of
the professors and the government OF
the community be left to them?'
BY so doing, Mr.. Warner thinks. the
faculties of our colleges and univer-
sites would gradually become made up
entirely of men who are inspiritional and
really possessed of the ability to impart
Information. while the dun and hopeless
ly uninspired teachers would be relegated
TO other branches of the worlds work,
where they would be of greater value to
the world and to themselves.
Mr.. Warner traced the history of unit
versity life and government from the
University of Athens to the universities
of TODAY. and showed that there have
DeeH OILY TWO netnOuS OF university gov
ernment. one in which everything is pre-
scribed to the students. and the other in
which the educational faculties are con-
sidered at the service of the students. to
be used they choose.

communities practically govern them
selves: concluded Mr.. Warner. ''or are

Not a Free" Service.

Taking up the contentious OF the rail-
roads that proof that the service was free
is contained in the fact that people out
side of the free delivery zone paid the
same rates as those within. the brief
says that the parties outside of the
delivery zone were paying for something
they did not get and had at all times a
righteous cause for complaint recognized
by the commission in the Casassa case
and in the Anacostia case
Complainants cannot believe, in view
Of the evidence and arguments intro
duced.' says the brief In conclusion,
that the commission will reverse their
oft-quoted opinion as to said increase,
but, on the other hand, they are CON

Some folks are not regarded much,
For lacking Creosus' golden touch,
They cannot find the magic art,
OF how, in life, to get start.
Some folks will never scale the heights
Which others reached by daring flights
So on the plains they sweat and toll,
From morn till night, working the soil,
Some folks will never sing song,
To charm and captivate the throng;
Nor will they ever speak theme,
To gain mems plaudits and esteem.
Some folks will never win renown,
Where wise and mighty men are found
No purple robe will them array,
For which men any price will pay.
But he who sings along the way,
And speaks word of cheer each day,
Whose robes are free from taint and sin
Some day, Gods favor sure will win.
