WHAT A LAWYER MUST KNOW

TT GOES without saying that "a lawyer
must know little something about law,
but many persons will be interested to
discover that the young men who have
taken the preliminary examinations for
admission to the bar must know some
thing else.
They were required to write an essay
"The Growth of Democracy"-a very good
thing for them to understand. To test
their knowledge of literature they were
asked to give the name of the author and
the work in which any three of seven
famous characters appear. including John
Alden, Mrs. Caudle, wilkins Micawber,
Sir John Falstaff and Faithful. They were
asked to tell what the Balkan Peninsula
Is and the countries included in it, and to
name the five principal countries in Africa
and to bound several American States.
And they were asked to tell about the
British revolution of 1888, as we'll as
other facts in European history. In addi.
ton their knowledge of arithmetic, algebra
geometry, Latin and American history was
tested
Those who passed the examinations may
70 on with the study of the law. And il
Is supposed that their general knowledge
will expand to keep pace with their grow
Ing knowledge of the principles and prac-
tice of the law

The Humor Shortage

Evidently the humor shortage isn't as
serious as we feared for the American
Press Humorists have just written to
Congratulate" us on the fact that they
have elected Socrates a member.
II they feel they can afford to do that,
evidently they must know of some terrific
Jokes that haven't yet been released for
publication. Has George Creel been up to
anything?
1t would serve them right if we stopped
writing our serious stuff altogether and
gave free rein to our comic instinct.
The object of the American Press HUI.
morists is to dole out the national reserves
of humor as sparingly as possible. II
Socrates has been called to the colors, evil
IDENTIFY they are mobilizing the Landsturm
Well. all we can say is we will go on
much as usual, trying not to squandef our
resources, and pledging ourself not to
profiteer by taking unfair advantage of
the surplus of comic things that happen
in Philadelphia. Just think of the ad-
vantage the Fifth Ward gives us.

WASHINGTON MUST KEEP ITS HANDS
OFF THE SCHOOLS

THE suggestion that Governor Brum.
baugh he employed by the National
Education Association for three years. at
an annual salary of $4,000 to induce Con-
gress to make a yearly appropriation of
100000 to increase the salaries of
100000 teachers will not be taken seri-
ousy by any one outside of the associa-
tion. We should like to believe that the
association itself does not take It seri-
ousy.
a Federal appropriation of $780, 900
for schools would be succeeded as surely
as the camel that gets its nose in the
tent follows it with its whole body, by
some form of Federal supervision and the
beginning of the end of local home rule
in matters of education would be in sight.
The great fortress of democracy is the
school district. whether that district be
as large the city of Philadelphia or so
small that one little red schoolhouse is
sufficient to accommodate the children.
Your theorist will tell you that according
to the best pedagogc principles-he will
surely say "peda gogiC'--the present sys.
TEN is all wrong; that there are hundreds
of school districts in which popular edu-
cation is farce and that experts should
he allowed to reform the whole system
from the bottom up. They will say that
it is n disgrace that girls with no tech
niCal training. who never heard of Pesta-
lozzi or Froebel or Herbart should he al
lowed to teach.
There is room enough for the improve
ment of the schools in the cities as we'll
as in the country districts. heaven knows;
but no Improvement that will be worth
while or permanent can be made until the
parents demand it. And when they de
mand it Improvement will come.
They are concentrating altogether too
much power in Washington now, without
adding the control of the public schools
to the functions of the national Govern
ment. Tho National Education Associa-
ton, instead of urging any Washington
meddling with the schools. should be the
first to oppose it, and its members should
be so thoroughly grounded in the funda-
mental principles of the American system
that it would be impossible to seduce them
by the prospect of an inCrease'in their pay
as teachers, to favor any plan that would
undermine the foundations of that system

THE FAT LITTLE PURSE
By AndreU McCiU
ON SATURDAYS, after the baby
Is bathed, fed, and sleeping serene

ON SATURDAYS, after the baby
Is bathed, fed, and sleeping serene,
His mother, as quickly as may be,
Arranges the household routine.
She rapidly makes herself pretty
And leaves the young limb with his
nurse,
Then gaily she starts for the city,
And with her the fat little purse.
CHE trips through the crowd to the
~ station,
To the rendezvous spot where we meet
And keeping her eyes from temptation,
She avoids the most windowy street!
She is off for the Weekly Adventure;
To her comrade for better and worse
She says, "Never mind, when you've
spent your
Last bit, here's the fat little purse"
A PART, in her thrifty exchequer,
spent:
Enough for the butcher and baker,
Katie's Wages, and milkman, and rent;
But the rest of her brave little treasure
She is gleeful and prompt to disburse--
What richness of innocent pleasure
Can come from her fat little purse!
PUT, either by giving or buying,
The little purse does not stay fat
Perhaps it's a ragged child crying,
Perhaps it's "pert little hat"
And the bonny brown eyes that were
frightened
BY pleasures so quaint and diverse,
Look up at me, wistful and frightened,
To see such thin little purse.
THE wisest of all financiering
Is that which is done by our wives:
By some little-known profteering
They add twos and twos and make
ives;
And, husbands, if you would be learning
The secret of thrift, it is terse: az
Invest the great part of your earning
In that shrewd little, fat little purse.

OUR BIGGEST MONEY MAKER

A PURELY money.making institution
"A one of the greatest in the world
reports the record year of its history The
production of iucre is its self-confessed
cole object, and not even the most mis-
anthropic of philosophers can call it
"flthy." For the Philadelphia Mint, which
turned out in the twelve months ended
June 80 a total number of 714,13s11 coins,
prides itself on it's neat numismatics.
Moreover, the bright new disks of metal
originating in the Spring Garden street
Golconda are never boarded by their
makers. Subsequent possessors may
tighten the locks on the strongboxes, but
the actual creator of this treasure is more
Renerous To the Government which
makes it. money is indeed precisely as de-
nned by the economist, power in ex-
change" And that accurate description
may help to explain why the Mint has
never been so busy as now
Uncle Sam has never been so powerful
He Is making the most stupendous ex-
change of all his life for that liberty which
wealth cannot measure. but which re-
sources can aid vitally to secure. The
poorest of US has no right to be jealous
Of the Mint's prolific performance. Ii is
oirnply another way of expressing the
'oarensth that is being raised against
tyranny.

To tell the truth, I am not interested in

Here's your health, town of Laclede;

Since the Government took over the

to think it's a kind of espionage for the
humble passenger to inquire too closely
about the times of trains.

Union Labor Leaders Under Protection of Police:
Assassin Had ReUolDer When Taken

Lisbon, Dec. 16.-The body Of DIR,
Sidonio Paes, president of Portugal,
who was assassinated late on Satur-
day, was taken to-day to the Belem
Palace to await the funeral cere-
monies, Meanwhile the Portuguese gov
ernment is continuing in office under
Ossorio Castro, the minister Of JUS
tice, while both chambers of the
parliament have been summoned to
meet to-day to discuss Jointly the
question of a successor to the presi
dency.
The whole capital was in mourning
to-day with deep undercurrent of
excitement among both military and
civilians who are organizing parades
in which the marchers call for VEN
geance for the crime, The govern
ment has appealed to all public Of
ficials asking them to do everything
possible to preserve order.
President Paes was shot and killed
shortly before midnight on Saturday
while in Lisbon railway station.
His assassin, named Jeetne, was
killed by the crowd.
DIR. Sidonio Paes, who was as
sassinated yesterday was talking with
n number of ministers at n railroad
station here when n young man ap-
preached the group. He fired point
blank at the president. The muir
derer was killed by the crowd. and
another man, suspected of completely
in tile crime. was arrested.
After the minister of the interior
had entered the office of the prcsi-
dent, Alfredo Magalhies, minister #
marine, was charged with the duty
of heading the office, which port

Penn State Will ReveI
in Ice Hockey This Winter


State College, Pa, Dec, 16.--Ice
hockey will be added to Penn States
intercollegiate sports activities this
winter. For the first time since
athletics were fostered here q suit
able rink for midwinter sport will
be available. The football field will
be flooded for the skaters early in
January
The new sport will be given a
prominent place on the list of COM
pulsory athletics operated in con-
junction with States mass athletic
program. 1t is expected that more
than 100 students will participate
in hockey, since many of the outdoor
sports now required will be halted
owing to the severe winters expert
enced here. Candidates for the
varsity and class teams will be re-
cruited from undergraduates now
electing to play baseball, football,
tennis and the quickening eXer-

1t is believed by the athletic heads
that hockey soon will be a leading
midwinter sport here. The students
have been clamoring for an oppor-
tunity to play the game here for

tie banking on its sides Beaver Field
can be converted into an admirable
skating surface.
Following the rehabilitation of
the Students Army Training Corps
here, next Saturday, the indoor sport
program will be put on a prewar
basis Immediately. Extensive plans
are being made for basketball and
wrestling.
