PROFESSOR AND MoToRMAN

New York World-One of the Harv
bridge planning its campaign for ar
endowment fund of 81, 00O, 900 for the
university asked President Lowell why
Harvard faculties Of ONE days had
more eminent members than now, and
was thus enlightened: There are lots
of good fish in the sea still and plenty
of good fish here, but they don't get
enough to eat" And with regard to
this question of sustenance, posters
displayed in the college yard showing
figures of a professor and a motorman
bear the inscription:
A motorman gets so cents an hour,
a professor IS. Which is worth more,
gentlemen, minding the train or train
ing the mind?
That is a question which is bother
ing other people besides college presi,
dents. In its broad application it is
the present problem of all "intelletu-
ais in it's bearing on their future place
in the economic scheme. The ratio of
tie motorman's wages to the profess
sor's causes a good deol of serious
thinking on the part of young men
just leaving college to make their way
in the world.
AT one time a professorship was a
magnet which drew the best minds of
the country to the college. But does
the honor of the post compensate now
adays for the financial sacrifice? Is
the great lawyer willing to limit his
activities to the classroom for an an
nual salary no larger than a single
fee? That a civil engineer or chemist

WASHINGTON. Dec. War ex-
perience plainly shows the necessity
for fundamental reorganization of the
Army and the War Department itself.
Secretary Baker declared yesterday
in his annual report. He recommen-
ded that the emergency organization,
reduced to the peace time size, oe
made permanent, and approved the
General Staff bill for regular estab-

nucleus of any great military mobill'
zation the Country may be called upon
| to make" and backed up by system
of universal training.
| I'm such a policy" Mr.. Baker said.
1.-The accent is upon the citizens and
not the soldier; the officers becoming
permanent corps of experts and the
men a body temporarily devoting a
portion of their time to military train
| ing in order that they may enter civil
life with a sense of national service
and with superior equipment for sue
cess"
1T is difficult to believe" he said,
denying any danger of militarism
that an army could be formed of
Americans. educated in our common
schools, raised in the free and demo
cratic atmosphere Of our institutions,
which would still be hostile to those
institutions and liberties The
World War has shown quite clearly
that armies reflect the spirit of the
people from whom they come rather
than create spirit of their own, SO
that the size of the army is not so i'm
portant from the point of view now
under consideration as the kind of an
army"
The selective service law was ac
cepted as a fair means of assigning
men to military service in time of war
