The value of this degree :. to those
whose work and genius merit some
special distinction is constantly les,
sened by the increasing practice OF
comforting the honor indiscriminately
on mere grinds and plodders The
many able men who can suitably claim
the honor ought TO protest against the
cheapening of it and the diminishing
of its prestige by this reckless bestow-
al of it up men who have nothing to
! recommend them but their logged
persistence in getting good grades and
in copying laboriously from the abb
surdly Wanted original sources
known to research work.
Perhaps time was when the bearing
of the degree of doctor of philosophy
was an infallible guarantee of an IN
usual power and originality of mind
and of a striking talent for so assim-
Hating "book-larnin' as to enable
the possessor to become always after
ward rich source of helpfulness and
inspiration for his fellows and for his
community. Nowadays there is danger
of suspecting that the erstwhile exact
ing prerequisites for the degree have
been abandoned and that the big uni
versities will peddle them to all the
nonenties who may care to apply and
who later become in practical life such
half pathetic, half ludicrous figures.

PUBLICITY.

Those who are uniformed as to the
degree of publicity which a wide
awake newspaper, however small, can
give tn the community whose interests
it represents, would perhaps be sur
prised (as, indeed, We admit having
been ourselyes) at the frequency with
which news articles and editorials
from The Star-Mirror columns are re-
printed not only in the Idaho press
but also in that of Oregon, Washing
ton. and several places not so near
home. We have not preserved, as II
might have been wise to do, the let
tiers of comment on the contents OF
our paper received from quarters the
most unexpected. To reproduce these
letters of interest and kindly approval
would be to prove not only the gener-
osity and amiability of our readers but
the keen and careful interest with
which news and editorial matter about
Idaho is received by people outside
of the state as we'll as by those with
in it.
A letter that came to our hands the
other day, dated from the headquarters
of the Ellison White Chautauqua sys-
TEN. at Portland, Oregon, is at this
time of peculiar pertinence because
Moscow is engaged in an effort to Sc
cure for this city and this county all
of the publicity which it is possible
progressive chautauqua system has
fulfilled its promise of scattering
broadcast the reproduction OF the ar
ticIe. some communities that never
before heard of Moscow will know
something about it, what its standards
are. and where it is located. That Is
a little something gained. We repro
duce the letter:
We have received copy of your
paper dated April 23d, and have
read with very great interest your
splendid editorial headed Some
Chautauuua Pointers" and we
wish to heartily endorse every
word you used
You have the correct idea OF
proper chautauqua program, and
we are very glad to say that the
Ellison White programs are pre-
pared along the very lines you sug-
gested. We think so much OF your
editorial that we shall reproduce
it in some manner and scatter it
broadcast over the country giving
The Star-Mirror proper credit, OF
course.
Again thanking you for your
kindly interest in the great chau-
tauuua movement, we remain,
Very truly yours.
