of the People will find it's reward in
the increased interest in good litera-
ture which is expected to ensue.
For years it has been admitted that
the literary taste of the average citi-
zen of the United States was capable
of Improvement; that trashy novels
had appropriated much of the field
which justly belonged to the more
solid reading upon which taste for
good literature must be grounded,
and that the average American was
prone to read a hundred society
stories or sex novels to one of the
better class of books. But even those
who drew attention to this condition
could suggest no remedy therefor.
1t remained for the government to
deal with 1t from the standpoint of a
national problem.
DR.. P. P. Claxton, Chief of the
Bureau of Education, conceived the
idea of inaugurating a series of
courses in literature, to be supplied
to all who cared to follow them. In
addition, the government undertakes
to follow up these courses with ques-
tions relative to the books read, that
1t may be sure that the best points
have BEEN brought out and that the
student has not merely glanced over
the volumes in a cursory manner.
Certificates of merit are given to all
who successfully complete the pro-

AS 1 HEARD 1T
BY Wing Dinger

heard a tale of an Irishman
That 1 don't suppose is true
But it is so good that I'm going to tell
The story to-day to you.
On a battlefield a soldier lay
One leg shot off; he spied
An Irishman close by to whom
The soldier loudly cried:
take me. please, to the hospital
Or 1 am sure to die,
My legs shot off, and I'm losing blood
Please don't pass me by
The Irishman picked him up and threw
Him DER his shoulder. the head
OF the soldier hanging down Pats
back
AS on his way he sped.
Bout a she'll exploded in the rear
And blew off the soldiers head
All unbeknown to Pat. to whom
An officer shortly said:
Drop that man, for we're crowded now
And haven't enough of beds
For soldiers that have a chance for
life
There's none for men without heads"
Pat threw the body upon the ground,
And carefully looked 1t DER
He scratched his head, and then to him
self
He grumbled bit and swore.
Then turning about to the officer
He gave a little cough
And said. '1'm dommed If he didn't say
That he'd had his leg shot on"

STATE COLLEGE NEEDS

TT is announced that Pennsylvania
State College will this year have a
Freshman class of $50, at least.
Hampered by lack of accommodations
for all who apply, only those who can
qualify will be received. In this par
ticular the State College occupies an
unusual position in the college world.
No one has been admitted with any
entrance conditions whatsoever. A. H.
Espenshade. the college registrar,
says that in all likelihood he will be
unable to admit even all of those who
can meet the entrance requirements.
He estimates that 1000 Freshmen
could be received this year if the col
lege could accept applicants willing to
enter with one or two conditions.
These figures illustrate the popu-
larity of the college and the great
work it is doing for the youth of the
State. 1t must be made able to take
care of all Pennsylvania boys who
apply for tuition there. One is as
much entitled as another, provided he
can qualify for entrance, and if the
Legislature has money to spend for
educational purposes, State is the
place to spend it. Now is the time
for the college to begin a campaign
of preparation for next session.

UNCLE SANS READING CIRCLE
BY Frederic ]. Haskin

NEELING that something should
be done to raise the standard of
literary taste throughout the
United States, the government has ap-
pointed itself the faculty of a corre-
spondence college with the seat of
learning in Washington, and DR. P. P.
Claxton, Chief of the Bureau of Edu-
cation of the Department of the In
terror, as professor of Literature.
With this for a nucleus, Uncle Sam
has plunged headlong into the busi-
ness of teaching his nieces and
nephews what to read, just as If he
didn't have enough other kinds of
work on his hands.
The only fee charged for admission
to this new school is interest in the
courses and application to the work
assigned One does not even have to
go to school. The school comes to
him. The United States mail carries
the voice of the teacher from Wash
ing as far as Alaska, the Philippines
or the Panama Canal Zone. Every
one is eligible for membership in
Uncle Sans great university and a
tWo-cent stamp is the only card of
admission necessary. If you haven't
the stamp, a postal card will do Once
Uncle Sam knows that you wish to
take his course in literature, he will
take care of the rest of it. In lieu of
degrees, certificates of merit, signed
by DR.. ClaXton, will be awarded to all
who graduate" and the University

Colonel Roosevelt has gone on a
hunting trip. Naturally. the primaries
are approaching.
About 500 young Americans have
been sent home after trying to enlist
in England. The Regular Army on the
Mexican border ought to be a good sub
stitute.

mistook an aeroplane.

THE COLONELS HUNT
(The New York SUM

In the wilderness of northern Que
bee Colonel Roosevelt is to spend the
next month hunting big game. He
will be in his element. and no doubt
he will have a bully time, far from
the sound of wars alarms and the
perplexities of politics, in which he
has become entangled of late. It is
said that the Colonel declined to make
q speech at the Toronto exhibition, in
which he showed wisdom, for Canada
is interested in only one theme now
IT would hardly be discreet for an ex-
President of the United States to dis
cuss the war in the territory of one
of the Allies. Moreover, when the
Colonel hits the trail for big game
nothing else attracts him.
The Colonel hunts with a camera
as we'll as with a sporting rife, and
with a fountain pen. The great will
derness of northern Quebec is new to
him. 1t contains no such formidable
prey as the grizzly, which he has met
and laid low and written about. But
the bull moose is not to be despised
nesses. 1t is utterly fearless and
charges in a way to make a hunters
pulse beat high. He must shoot
straight and quickly to escape ami
hiliation. An article upon the bull
moose of Quebec in mortal combat
written in the Coloners graphic style
would interest his friends and ad
mirers, among whom we count our
selves whenever he goes a-hunting.
May no rumor of war or fret of poIi-
tics penetrate the camp where the
Colonel is studying nature and col
lecting antlers.

TAYLOR,S REPLY

TF the answer of City Commissioners
M. Harvey Taylor to his editorial
critics made yesterday on the floor
of Council be truthful-and certainly
there can be no reason for doubt on
that score. in view of the fact that he
confined himself to councilmanic and
departmental records-then the super
intendent of parks and public prop
erty effectively and properly stamped
as merely vicious campaign lies the
efforts of his enemies to discredit his
work for the city.
One by one Mr.. Taylor referred to
the acts of business judgment" on
which the attack against him was
based. His reply was simple, but vastly
effective; he quoted the distorted state
ments used against him, then merely
recited the true facts in each case.
If Mr.. Taylor's method of handling
the motor tractor patent matter, the
purchase of the fire apparatus, the
upper end playground the river front
"fill," the paving on Front street and
the city forestry department problems
are indicative of the quality of "busi-
ness judgment" he exercises in office,
certainly the vast majority of Harris
hurg's businessmen and other voters
will insist upon his return to City
Council.
Such criticism of the superintendent
of parks and public property as he
shattered yesterday ought to be a big
boost for his reelection.
