lFRAIgR.aIlTlIIRs ANn STUDY.

II
Five years ago, an officer in the
University Of Illinois began to keep
careful accounting OF the grade OF
work done by fraternity men and Of
the young men OF the university as a
whole. Comparison Of these statis-
tics. or rather Of the average stand.
ing OF the fraternity men with that
OF the men student body as whole,
has shown the general average to be
higher semester for semester than
that maintained by the fraternity stu
dents. Further, tho average for the
fraternity students has lowered with
consistency just around passing
grades.
In order to improve the situation,
It was decided to publish fraternity
standings, together with figures show
ing the average standing OF all the
young men in the university. When
this plan was hit upon, the fraternity
men were batting somewhere around
70, while the average standing for all
students was above 81. Publication,
however, began to have Immediate
effects. The average of fraternity
scholarship has been steadily improv-
ing since, although It has not vet been
able to overtake the average mains

country when DR.. F. F. friedman,
the Berlin physician, came here in
tho spring OF 1913, has Just been made

Montreal, psychologically, is Just
now one, of the. most interesting
towns III the world y Montreal, geE-
graphically. is always interesting.
When the first French yoyager came
up the st. Lawrence and landed at
the foot of the magnificent hill that
dominates tho city, he named It
Montreal with no thought that thu
regal mountain ever would depart
from under the scepter- of the king
of France much less the day would
come when FRANCE would have no
king. y z
Years later, under the Light rule
of Britain, the name OF the town was
translated in the title OF Canada's
Grand Old Man when Donald Smith
became Lord Strathcona and Mount
Royal. (;
Montreal until this day is billing
ual, for the French language does not
easily die out, even before the Nn-
compromising attack Of English.
Montreal's mayor barely speaks Eng.
fish and most OF Montrea1's govern
mental affairs gre carried on in the
French language. The newspapers
appear in both tongues, and your or
binary man in the street in Mon
treals seems almost as ready to use
one language as the other
And along with this division sot
tongues there has been from the very
beginning a division of interest, a
division OF sentiment and division of
tradition that have sharply divided
the! society 0f the Canadian metropol-
is into distant factions. -
Now for the first time in the war
Of the nine nations are these two fac
tons completely united in sentiment.

teption that be had discovered ct

up ID detail and then draws the
deadly parallel between them and the
results Of the application Of the
treatment to patients under the OBJ
eervation Of the service doctors:
Whereas the claims are based on
cases which always seem to get we'll
or at least to show phenomenal inn
proyement, after one or two intecS
tons, the cases which reacted in
this manner among the test series
were conspieuously few. The report
does not commit itself as to whether
the improvement noted in these few
cases was due to the treatment, or to
the stimulus OF a great hope, or to
unassignabler causes which work im=
provemeut in some cases Of every
large series; but 1t does point out
distinctly that II any one prefers
the first explanation he must in JUS
tice attribute also to the treatment
the very distinct and unusual deter
iorationi in the condition OF certain
other patients which progressed In

friedman had admitted to be unfa-
vorable to. a. scnre, but, which he
claimed to have completely over

material into the veins.
A long series; of experiments with
the bacteria used by Friedman is
reported, which. show that the germ
Is different from the varieties Of tus
bercle bacilli commonly known at the
present time, and that far from max
ing small animals more resistant TO
ltubercular infection, 1t made the ma
iority Of those inoculated more sus-
lceptible. The report Is therefore IN
line with other reports coming from
scientific sources here and abroad
which have refuted DR.. Friedmann's
claims to the discovery OF specific
cure for tuberculosis.

Democratic administration had been
placed on trial It Is evident to him
iow that the verdict returned Tues
Hay was one Of guilty. The nation
does not believe that the administra-

thereby. Especially should he keep
his eye on the short session of Com

The Only Surprise,

The only surprise to us, Is that the
Republican majorities from Charley
Mnsgraye to Howard Sutherland, are
not larger. It was a year in which
the thing ought to have been prac-
tically unanimous. The Democratic
party can NOT govern this country and
never will learn. The only earthly
use for IT is as q rod in pickle for the
Republicans when they get too proud
and naughty. become obstreperous
and deserve little chastisement.
