Count Cadorna, Head of
 Italian Army, 65 Today

General and Senator Count Luigi Giovanni Antonio Carlo Giuseppe Cajdorna- the chief of the general staff of the Italian army and the man upon whom Italy depends to wrest Italia Irredenta'' from the Austrians, will pass his sfxty-fifth milestone today The leader of the armed forces of King Victor Emmanuel was born at Pallanza on Sept 4, 1850- His father, Raffae1e Cadorna, was famous sol dier and authority military science, and from his boyhood Luigi was trained for the profession of arms At the age of ten he entered a Milan military school He was lively youth, and often came into conflict with the college authorities. with the result that he became undu1y faIni- 1ith with the little underground cell where naughty boys were consigned and given leisure to repent of their sins. In 1865 he entered the Italian military academy at Turin, and on his eighteenth birthday, just forty-seven years ago today, he became a full f1edged soldier with the rank of second lieutenant. He served in both the ar tillery and the infantry When his father, General Raffaele Cadorna, led the army which marched on Rome, Lieut.. Luigi accompanied him on that memorable expedition, which resulted in the capture of the Eternal City, which thenceforth became the apitaI of united Italy. The elder Cadorna thus became one of the foremost of Italian military heroes, and it is the hope of Italians that the son will com p1ete the great work by conquering that part of Italy which is still un- redeemed. The future Chief of Staff of the Italian army early attained fame as military expert, and by the time he was twenty-five he was the author of several pamphlets nili- tary geography. In 1893, with the rank of major, he was attached to the army corps commanded by the bril- liant Count PianeI1. He was sent on many expeditions to the frontiers, of which he made a close study. It has been said that General Cadorna knows the location of every house and tree in the neighborhood of the Austro- Italian frontier, and, while this is probably an exaggeratfon, his know1- edge of that district is little less than uncanny. Cadorna reached the rank of major general in 1898. He became chief of the Italian general staff last year. and immediately set about a thorough reorganization of the army, which is said to have been in a condi- ton of confusion and chaos.

-LoAFING IN COLLEGE

Dr. T. M. Ballet, dean of the peda- gogy school of New York University, told the National Education AssociA- ton few days ago that present day college terms are -four years of loaf ing" This agrees with an article by a college undergraduate recently print ed in The Outlook, which says col 1ege courses are so easy that students slip through with little work.
 Yet many students, apparently per fectly truthful, say they have to work hard to pass tests and keep out of conditions. The parent looking for a good college for his boy or girls feels puzzled to know which point of view is correct.
 The bright student may get the substance of 9 lesson in en minutes over which the dulIer fellow would work hour. By lodging studies like math ematics and the classic Ian guages, which call for steady grind, many long hours are saved. With ten minutes hurried reading of a, subject like literature, civil gov ernment, political economy, the stu dent with ready wit and faciIe speech
 might make a, far better showing than the slow tongued grind
 The frequent cases like these in1i- cate the fallacy of too many electives
 The educator with scholastic tastes | may think each student is selecting
 the course that accords best with his | own needs and gifts. But probably ] the majority of students pick the easy | courses
 l A college should not be satisfi ed with it's work unless careful thought is given to each individual student
 If he is slipping along on easy course: l the authorities need to hand out some
 real intellectual wood-pile for him tt | saw and split Few parents senC l their boys to school to spend ~thei1
 time with their feet on the piazza raj
 of fraternity houses, or eating anC 1 sleeping on the ball ground.

It may interest the twentieth cen tury woman to know that in 1874 Queen Elizabeth issued a procIarna- ton against excess in dress, and an nounced what classes of women might or might not put lace, fringes or vel vet bands on their gowns or petit coats. They were taxed according to their apparel, so if one made a gaudy appearance, up went her taxes. This, though the Queen had three thousand gowns in her own wardrobe.

Washington, d. c., April 19.-The

to speak even in that way.
Wilson leaves here tomorrow morn
