WHAT OTHERS SAY
Views on all sides of timely questions as discussed in ex- changes that come to the Herald Office.
What Is a Professor?
(Springfeld Republican. )

One charge in the indictment which Dr. A. William White draws up against Dr. Scott Nearing is that he permitted himself to be called Prof. Nearing" by the. editor of the Ladies' Home Journal, which published a denies that he was responsible for the breach of academic etiquette, and attributes the mistake of the Ladies' Home Journal to the generous distri- Lution, outside academic circles. Of the title professor" to members of the teaching profession.
 Dr Nearing was an instructor, not q professor or assistant professor This is quite plain. If the question be asked why he is pr" Nearing. the answer is that he earned by his work as graduate student the degree of ..Ph. D." and chooses to avail him self of the title which, according to German and American usage, this de- gree bestows upon a man.
 with the main question go several rerplexing side questions. For in stance. if pr. Nearing had been an as- siatant or associate professor, would he have been entitled to the Prof" When the historian, Freeman, visited +his country in 1882, and wrote a very entertaining book about us, he re- marked the fondness for titles that prevailed in our democratic com ,Y,unities. The fondness extends to those academic circles, where, ac- cording to Dr. Nearing, usage Is very strict. Certain established professor ships exist in all the older institutions and many of the younger ones, and universities and colleges now create 1,rofessorships in all the important subjects. so that the leading teacher of zoology or versification becomes en- filled to the coveted designation even if there is no foundation. Obviously professors are very numerous.
 Tn Great Britain, where there is oreat fondness for titles in the social world. there is a different attitude toward professorships. Only when there has been long Identification of 2 man with an established chair. or where the chair itself is famous. is the title Prof" likely to be applied, in ordinary usage, to its occupant. George Saintsbury. whose private fame as a literary scholar is greater than his fame as an academic per sonality. is frequently called MT" saintsbury Yet for twenty years he has been the holder of an important university chair. In some cases the professorship is little more than lec- fl, reship foundation, and an engage rnent to fill the post Is only incidental in a mans career. The case of F. I. Stimson, who gives a course of lec-

on the public highways, that they be taught the danger of crossing streets without first looking to the right and to the left Given such subjects to treat as Safety First" "The Protec- ticn of Life and Limb" "How to Keep Safe on the Streets and Roads, the young minds of children cannot help but profit by dwelling on such thoughts. Parents should see that their children take an interest in this contest if for no other reason than that the little ones learn to take care of themselves while on the way to school in the morning and on the way home in the afternoon. The prizes set up, we understand, are worthy of effort and, while every one cannot win a prize, they will have gotten more than material value out of this great lesson in personal safety if they learn the ingredients of behavior on the public thoroughfares.
