with greater degree of sanity and
proportion. If by chance any statute
can be found in the loose jointed legis-
lation of that period that gives color to
the so-called rights" of this hybothet-
ical State university, our intelligent
legislature will repeal it at once and
and thus end the matter. The State
does not need university any more
than it needs navy. But this Ira Allen
ghost is more persistent than Banquo' S
ghost. Repeatedly the matter has been
threshed out and decided, finally by the
Carnegie historical experts, who could
find no shadow of an existing university,
and again by the Commission s legal ex-
perts, who came to the same conclusion.
But Judge Powers, having labored with
his legal microscope upon the dingy old
documents until his eyes ached so that
he could hardly see straight, has long
nursed great doubt. Although he had
declared that he would stand by the
Carnegie report, when that report
proved to be on the wrong side of his
great doubt, reversing himself (as
judges do sometimes), he declared
periodically: "Sink or swim, survive
or perish, will stand by Ira Allen and
his university"
The purpose of the Carnegie Founda-
ton and of the Commission is to ignore
higher education and to disestablish the
colleges, but this purpose is pursued
with a peculiar form of consistency that
has come to be known as "Carnegie
consistency" the chief ingredient Of
which is propagandism at any cost of
logic. On page 1872 of the Commission S
report we read: 1.-The Commission does
not consider it within its province to
discuss the question of higher educa-
ton" Yet in pages 117-119 we find an
extended discussion of higher education
in agriculture and a commentator Of
the College of Agriculture as an or
ganic part of the State system of edu-
cation. This is in accord with the
Carnegie vocational propaganda

$4,000 BELGIANS IN DREAD
LINE"

London, Feb. 8. The soup kitchen or.
gained in Brussels by the American
commission for relief is now undoubt-
eddy the largest in the world. Nearly
fifty thousand people entirely destitute
wait in the 'bread lines" every day and
over six thousand gallons of soup and
four thousand Kilograms of bread are
daily distributed to them.
'Unlke the bread line | have seen in
America, says the report from one of
the correspondents in Brussels, "these
are all people OF one nationality and all
with IA common and undeserved mis- for
tune. They are of all classes, but we
know none of them save by number be-
cause no matter what their station or
the extent of their misfortune, they
still have amour proper and many of
them, if they were compelled to write
their names on coupons when they get
the soup would rather starve than take
it. None of them think that they will
always have to be in the bread line and
every one of them feel that when it is
all over they will want to forget that
they have been destitute.
THE soup for these pitifu fotsam
and jetsam of war is all prepared in the
large storef ouses of the international
Express company Van Gand More than
one hundred people are engaged in this
work. Among them are former chefs of
some Of the leading hotels of Brussels,
who give directions as to the kinds and
quality of the soup, its ingredients and
the proportions. Under them are those
who clean the vegetables potatoes, car
rots, beans, etc-and prepare the meat.
This entire staff is composed of volun-
teers except the chefs who receive at
the most half-a-crown day.
prom three o'clock in the morning,
when cooking of the first 5000 gal
Ions of soup is started, the scene in the
circus-like storehouse of the express
company is one of tremendous activity
with the moving figures of the hundred
white-cad chefs, the fires abaze under
scores of immense cauldrons all dimly
seen through the shifting clouds of
pungent steam, rising from the soup.
"When the soup is cooked it is sent,
under the seals of the commission and
under the protection of the American
flag, in large lorries to the twenty-one
canteens, scattered all over Brussels.
The canteens were formerly schools,
dance halls, turkish baths, etc. During
the morning, wherever one goes, women
and children may be seen coming and
going with pitchers of steaming soup
and their rations of bread under their
arms -
