OF Cardinals at the opening OF the Con-
sistory.
Referring to the many difficulties which
the war had brought upon the Holy Sec.
the Pope said:
Certainly those who govern italy are
not wanting in good intentions to elimi-
nate inconveniences, but It is clearly
demonstrated that the position Of the
Roman PontiT is dependent upon the
civil authorities, With a change in men
or in circumstances the position itself
might change for the worst"
In setting forth the Inconvenience
which the Vatican had met, the Pope
continued
I'VE shall limit ourselves to observe
that some ambassadors and ministers ac-
credited to us by their sovereigns were
constrained to depart to protect their per
sonal dignity and the prerogatives of

who had shot down Herman Fischer as
he walked toward Moorestown on July
IL, 1918. At the trial it had been called
cold-bloodcd murder. involving lying in
wait on the part OF Murphy at Taylors
lane. The motive ascribed by the prose-
cutor was jealousy over woman.
But this was not necessarily true, Mrs
Hullings said. The testimony was not
convincing to her that her brother had
fired the fatal shot, or. II he did, there
was nothing to show that he had no
provocation, she told the Governor She
reviewed the testimony in detail and
threw doubts upon the veracity of the
witnesses.
Already she was in tears, but stfed
back her sobs and Kept at her task. II
was evidently not her idea to make an
emotional appeal to the Governor; she
wanted TO appeal to reason. Even II
her brother were guilty, he was insane at
the time of the crime. She could prove
that, she said. IL only the execution
could be delayed: If only there were more
time than the shrinking hours OF day
light which remain for Murphy before
his doom.
CANNOT KILL INSANE MAN"
The Governor dcmurred. He held up
hand to stop her. There was no evidence
to show tic Innn was insane when he
shot. he begged her to realize that he
had no power to intervene, that the
Board of Pardons had acted: but she did
not want to hear that he was powerlcss.
Hear me out" she cried.
The Governor bowed. 81 will hear
everything YOU have to say. I will not
interrupt" he said, and kindly urged her
to take her own time and proceed with
hcr argument
We'll. then, granted her brother Edward
was not insane when the shot was fired
that killed Fischer she proceeded. still,
the law said that nm insane man could
not legally be put to death. Her brother
had become insane in prison.
"He is insane now, any one can see 1t,
Governor
She begged that he put Murphy in an
asylum "for life" or in prison for life,
anything but the electric chair. She was
told that the Board of Pardons had in
vestigatcd the case completely. In vari-
Gus Investigations four physicians had
found that without doubt Murphy was
sane.
II am unable to commute the sentence
or in any way stay the execution. ! wish
| could help you. My hands are tied by
the law-by duty" the Governor pleaded
in much the same tones the woman had
used. She burst into tears.
Save him anyhow: he must not die;
she fell on her knees and there was a
painful half minute during which the
Governor could do nothing but beg her
to compose herself She rose and asked
his pardon for her weakness. She had
worried continuously; she would soon be
herself again. And in few minutes
she had indeed recovered her remarkable
fortitude and brought more arguments to
bear.
After the interview Mrs. Hullings and
her son left the office and sat for n while
in an adjoining room Their eyes were
red from weeping.
After lunch they went to the penten-
tiary for last interview with Edward
Murphy. who had been told he must go
to the chair tonight.

people go to school.
"No longer do the favored few have
privileges at the expense of the
many" he said. Education should
line up with modern thought and
should also concern itself with the
needs of the many as well as with the
needs of the few. Do not mistake me
i am simply interpreting the de-
mands Of community consciousness
which means not only that the people
shall have their rights, but that it, is
our duty to see that they obtain these
rights.
1T is a mistake for anyone to out
line career for another" he con-
tinued, land what you need and what
you desire is that someone point out
the way to you and assist you in the
preparation for that career"

'Tt is not enough for you to theorize
about the world into which you enter
You must think and plan and work
with the people of that world. Prom
inent educators and editorial writer's
alike are sounding this warning to
those entering the activities of life.
TOO much of our education has to
do with men and nations that are has
beens and not enough to do with liv-
ing men, present day conditions and
modern day achievements. The cri-
terion of education for ages has been
the knowledge and use of the classics.
Education has meant, and in many
countries still means the gaining Of
knowledge, for knowledge's sake.
everywhere it is becoming recog
nized that the education of university
men contains too much OF the old
things correlated with an entirely
changed past.

concerned with the dead past and

president Seerley intimates that
there is too much theory and not
enough of the practical in modern
education One time he said that the
country child is not given the training
appropriate for the life problems of
today.

California said that vocational train
ing is an effort of an aristocracy to
hold the sons Of laboring men in a
life of toll and is trick to sidetrack
boys. The only explanation Of this
lis that these men have only that cri-
terion for education before mention
led, that education is a knowledge OF
and use of the classics. Now If this
system develops the result demanded
by the time, it Is enough-but does
it? Facts and conditions will tell.
AS we approach this consideration, I
will ask you what Is your opinion as
to the dwindling of the classes in
our high school today? Listen, right
here in Iowa the records show that
between ninety and ninety-five per-
cent Of the youth leave school at the
end OF the seventh and eighth grades
Less than two percent Of them ever
enter the freshman class of any col
lege; and not more than twenty-five
percent of those who do enter college
ever finish the collegiate course.

third of this great army have not conf
pleted the first term, and one-fifth
have not completed the second term.
The records show that about one
third drop out the first half term and
twenty-one percent leave during the
second half term-that is more than
fifty percent never enter the second
year of the high school. I leave you
to judge the causes for this. We will
consider the effect and conditions.
''An army of youth is going out
every year to find their places in the
world said President Magill and
the bitter fact is that the youth soon
finds his preparation inadequate.
