age work for long period.
The report quoted above suggests
that the certificate method has also
its detects. There is q common ten
dency among public school teachers
to pass pupil along from year to
year, on the ground that if set back
they became discouraged and quit
school Thus every c'ass carries
about so much dead wood. Where
teachers take that view, it becomes
natural to PASS the pupils along the
next step into college. In some of
the schools political or social influ
ence may be a factor.
Perhaps tire ideal way would be
to give equal weight to each kind of
test Every applicant for entrance
to college might well be required to
take an examination, but equal i'm
portance should be attached to his
past record. A written test should
place but little stress on the remem-
bering of mere facts. The vital ques-
tion is. Can the pupil express MIN
self well, and does he display a gen
eral comprehension of the subject he
has taken.

uGN AND
w WEDDINGS

The great amount of newspaper
space that has been allotted to the
plans of Mrs. Gait for the presiden-
tial wedding is typical of the pre-
dominance Of all brides. She. is for
the moment even more national
figure than her illustrious husband,
who shares to some extent the 'com-
mon obscurity Of bridegrooms.
In our everyday life, the man Yho
is being married may not be dis
tinguishable in dress or other appear
ance from the head waiter, and may
attract no more attention. Mean
while the brides dress. adornment,
facial expression, and taste, is dis
criminatingly canvassed in feminine
circles for many days.
All that is asked of the bridegroom
is to present himself at the exact
moment attired suitably for the oc-
casion. This is usually easy, but
not always so. There are not lack
ing bridegrooms who on arriving at
the brides home town. find that the
precious trunk loaded with their
wedding clothes mas gone astray.
While the bride is calmly preparing
for the final task of dressing, the
bridegroom and his best man may
be frantica'ly searching nearby sta
lions or express cars for the missing
baggage.
The bride Is additionally calm and
self possessed, the bridegroom Is apt
TO be fustered. Yet all he mas to
do Is to fish out the ring from his
vest pocket, and repeat few words
after the minister. Why this en-
barrassment? Can 1t be, that more
suspicious by nature and training
than women, he has a keener percep-
ton of the adverse possibilities that
exist in any marriage? There are
many people. who in crossing the
Rubicons OF life, even to gain
onged for prize, yet falter a bit at
the finality of the thing.
All which of course does not APP
ply in any way to the presidential
nuptials which were the starting
point for these reflections. A second
marriage presupposes the settled ma
turity of feeling and judgment OF
people who thoroughly know their
own minds. With young people max
ing a first union, the human heart
must be swayed by many cross cur
rents of passion, romance, and some
times misgiving.

THE VALUE OF COLLEGE
EXAMINATIONS

Records of four leading colleges
we're presented to the Middle States
Association of Colleges and Prepare
tory Schools a few days ago, on the
question of college entrance tests.
II was found that those who had
been admitted on examination were
pc a whole better students than
those entering on certificate.
The traditional method of sitting
applicants for college entrance is by
examination. Many generations have
passed this dreaded ordeal. They
crammed with facts, but might be
so flustered on the fateful day as to
lose their wits. Others noted dates
on their shirt cuffs, or struggled
trans atoms. Selfpcssesed pupils
with meager attainments often made
a better showing than those who had
done better work but lacked conf.
dence.
These defects in the "exam" sys'
TEN nave led a good many colleges
to substitute the method OF entrance
on certificate. Pupils coming from
certain approved schools have been
allowed to enter on certificate from
the lower school that they had done
the required work. 1t looks fairer
the test being based on their aver

SOME CHRISTMAS
THOUGHTS

Two years ago at this Christmas
time, it would have seemed horribly
incredible that armies of protested
Christians, followers Of Him who
came to bring peace. should be bar.
barously killing each other. Yet the
progress of the world cannot be
judged by any two years period. For
the past century the prevailing con
dition In the Christian world has
been peace. A few hundred years
ago, the normal, usual condition was
war.
So the world does move. Up to
the Christian era it was stationery.
Just what happened in that little
town Of Bethlehem must always be
a matter of the most doubtful specu.
lation. Theologians will always ar
que to what unique union of the
spirit of God and the flesh OF man
took place in that mystic event call
ed the Incarnation.
This much should be evident to
the everyday person who knows no
philosophy and can form opinions
merely from observation and ours
DRY reading That when Jesus came,
a movement was started that is rev.
authorizing the world. Slowly 1t
makes progress against the soul Of
the brute within us. But 1t Is not
to be judged by those VINO profess
its teachings. but by their beliefs,
lives and deeds, belle and flout its
laws and spirit.
The principles of Jesus have led to
the emancipation Of woman, they
have produced tender care and nur-
ture of children, they have led to
pity for the weak, suffering, and the
oppressed, they have softened the lot
o. prisoners, they have made war
the exceptional and unusual thing.
Out of these teachings has grown
vast modern fabric OF efficient and
organized charity, with infinite man.
ifestations of personal sympathy.
Christmas should mean more to
us than a jolly exchange of gifts
and the sweet influences OF family
JOY. 1t is the birthday of the soul
that has lifted in part the burden Of
the worlds woe, and will lift the
rest, when stupid human nature
opens toward the morning light.

THE WAY TO PAY
OUR BILLS

President Wilson, having made
quite clear to his political supporters
and opponents what he would have
Congress do for the national defense,
should devote at least one evening
Of speech to the plans he has in
mind for raising money to pay the
expenses Of government.
If the Administration retains the
sugar duty as 1t properly proposes
to do and raises the income and cor
poration taxes, which 1t should not
but doubtless will do, there will still
he discrepancy of $5O,OO0,OOO or so
between estimated income and esti-
mated outgo. A large addition to
The budget for national defense will
increase this deficit.
The means to secure the necessary
income to meet the expenses lies at
hand, but our Democratic friends
have a strong pride and prejudice to
overcome before they adopt it. 1t Is
by customs duties that the Treasury
may be readily replenished, without
making the burden rest heavily upon
anyone. In fact in many lines the
levy of higher tariff may be made
to serve directly the urgent needs of
American industry and thus to con-
tribute to the revival of American
prosperity.
The borrowing of large sums of
money for the conduct of govern
ment in times of peace is inexcus-
able. The levy of new burdens up
on business through corporation and
income taxes when business is max
ing hard and encouraging struggle
to get back on its feet is no way to
proceed. The reliable money raiser
is the tariff, and the war for all its
damage to American industry has
disclosed new ways to use it for the
national advantage.
To the tariff, therefore, let Con
gress have recourse to put the Ma
tional Government on a paying ba-
shis Syracuse Post Standard Re
publican.

That William ]. Bryan Is to be

ident Wilson will face a Congress
full Of hostilities to his army plans
He will probably find Congress as a
whole fairly favorable to a larger
navy, but with the traditional party

with Bryan at hand to view with
alarm, the President will run into
some very rough shedding as soon as

MRS. [. B. NORTON !. DEAD AFTER BRIEF
 ILLNESS AT HOME
Funeral of We'll Known Business Woman Will Be Held From Residence
 This Afternoon
.............................

Mrs. Edward B. Norton, proprietor of
 Norton's Drug store, at Second avenue
 and Twentieth street, and one of the
 best known business women in Bir-
 mingham, died last night at 10 o'clock
 at her late residence, POPS Thirteenth
 avenue, south. Mrs. Norton had been i'll only two weeks.
 Mrs. Norton is survived by three chill dren, Mrs J. c. Gilchrist, Edward Nor ton and Miss Laura Norton.
 Funeral services will be conducted this afternoon at o'clock from the residence and the following are re- quested to act as pallbearers: c. D. Gotten, S. B. Stearn, Arthur Smith,
 John L. McRae. F'orney Johnston, c. c. Terry, Jacob Burger and Louis Phil lips.
 Mrs. Nortons ability as a business woman had long been recognized in the commercial world in Birmingham. Several years ago, upon the death of her husband, E. B. Norton, Mrs. Nor- ton took charge of the store one of the largest in town, and operated 1t successfully until short time before her death. So closely in touch With business conditions was Mrs. Norton that she was often consulted by shrewd business men. She was a pioneer in Birmingham and has done much toward upbuilding the city.
 Mrs. Norton. when called upon by the death of her husband to assume the active management of the Norton Drug store was forced by circum- stances to cultivate a decision of char acter and a stern exterior which con- cealed to large extent the purely womanly graces and refinements cul- tivated in her girlhood except to those who knew her most intimately. Born of the finest old Kentucky stock, she was educated chiefly in Cam ada As young woman she was q daring horsewoman, skilled expert with fencing foils and took silent but genuine pride in her literary studies and appreciation of the beautiful in art When MT. Norton died her chil- dren were still young and she found 1t essential to assume the burdens of conducting one of the largest and most thriving mercantile establishments in Birmingham That she did this success fully is shown by the fact that the Norton store has continually main- tained its position as one of the best conducted drug stores in the south.
