AN EDUCATIONAL FALLACY.

In Harper's Magazine for June,
1905, President Hadley of Yale Uni
versity, censured one of the educa-
tional methods of the day, says the
Ave Maria. 1.-THE tendency of the
elective system, as conducted at pres
ent," he writes, sis to confne the
scientific boy to scientific subjects, the
literary boy to literary subjects, the
administrative boy to administrative
subjects. The result of this is that
our engineers or physicians go out
into life with their Imagination un-
cultivated and their sense of values
Except commercial values) unde-
veloped; that our preachers and our
barristers lack the training which
should give them clear and precise
apprehension of the ordinary facts of
life; that our merchants have narrow
ideals, instead of broad ones, and
care for science and literature only
as they can be subordinated to mere
money-making."

advocates of a purely technical or pro-
fessional training for youth and the
upholders of a genuinely liberal edu-
cation-of intellectual culture as a
good in itself, irrespective of the call
ing or profession which the student is
to adopt later on. In our day, there is
so much insistence on the former, the
technical training, that it may be
worth while to quote an extract from

made for the latter-in Cardinal New

The history of the human race in
this world has been one sweeping con-
demnation of the safety first" con-
ception of life In the sight of God, it
is evident the first principle of safety
is contempt for comfort and readiness
to lay down life for hundred things
that are a thousand times more i'm
portant. AS it is revealed in the
structure OF life the will of God is
expressed in the maxim, Character

concupiscences: chastity whereby we
renounce unlawful pleasures, and con-
tinency that inspires us to forego law
full ones for the sake of God.
These, then, are the twelve prin-
cipal fruits that manifest the presence
of the Holy Spirit within us. If we
place no obstacle in His path, He
gives us the seven gifts or virtues But
He cannot give us the fruits. 1t is
for us to produce these by the opera
ton of His gifts. The infused virtues
remove all Discrimination that might
otherwise withhold us from the per-
pare us to execute deeds of virtue with
alacrity.

cipient, then they will lie dormant
and go to waste. If operated they
manifest their existence in the par
ticular acts that St. Paul mentions in
the Epistle to the Galatians, calling
them the fruits of the Holy Ghost.
They are twelve in number: charity,
joy, peace, patience, benignity, good
ness, longanimity, mildness, faith,
modesty, CONTINGENCY and chastity.
The word fruit" is derived from a
Latin word, meaning enjoy" Here it
is concluded that fruit is that which
is produced with joy and delight. It's
production is a sort of pleasure
and enjoyment. The virtues existing
within us that are the gifts of the Holy
Ghost coming to us with sanctifying
grace, prompt us to perform certain
yirtuous acts that are effects of which
these gifts are the causes. And while
ordinarily in the course of the natural
order these acts might demand of us
some extra effort, now through the
agency of the Holy Spirit operating
within us all reluctance to perform
them has been removed, and we act
joyfully and with pleasure. The re-
sultant acts are real fruits of the in
dwelling of the Holy Ghost.
The human mind naturally tends
toward what is good or what it thinks
is good. It's first disposition
towards good is through love which is
the primary affection of the mind and
the root of all the affections. Charity
then is the first fruit of the spirit, the
primary operation that must be at
tributed ultimately to the Holy Ghost,
for the Spirit is Love. Hence it is that
ST. Paul says: The charity of God is
poured forth in our hearts through the
Holy Spirit Who is given to u.s." Joy
follows closely upon charity for the

VARDAMAN HITS
COAL MONOPOLY
Shortage of Anthracite During
War Due to Monopolistic
Control

WASHINGTON, March 3.-Sena-
tor Verdaman of Mississippi, chair
man of the Senate manufacturers
committee today inserted in the Con-
gressional record statement on the
committees investigation of the an
thracite coal situation, charging that
production of anthracite coal in the
United States is controlled by eight
large transportation companies which
through an almost complete monopoly
were able to fix prices and determine
the rate of production.
Chairman Vadaman explained that
the committee was unable to present
the testimony taken in hearings in
Washington and, the Pennsylvania
coal fields had been printed.
Testimony before the committee.
he asserted in his statement, had dis
closed in his opinion that there is no
commodity in common use that is
not absolutely monopolized as the an
thracite coal production"
Shortage of anthracite during the
war and existing high prices for the
aomnodity he said, were due almost
entirely to this monopolistic control.
Transportation corporations con-
trolling production in the Pennsvl-
vania fed the only source of mar
ketable anthracite in North America
were named in Senator Verdaman's
statement as follows:
"The Reading (the holding COM
pany of the Philadelphia and Read
ing Coal and Iron Company, and the
Jersey Central, which in turn owns
all of the stock of the Lehigh and
Wilkesbarre company); the Lehigh
Valley, the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western; the Delaware and Hud-
son; the Lehigh Navigation company
(which owns and controls the Lehigh
and New England) the Erie and the
New York, Ontaria and Westerly .
Although controlling 72 per cent of
the actual production of anthracite
the statement asserted the companies
had made it impossible for independ-
ent operations to compete with them
on any fair basis"

OHLSON'S LIBERTY
GIRLS AT GRAND
ALL NEXT WEEK

The manager of the Strand Theatre
has been so deluged with requests by
patrons of this house that he decided
to hold over for another week the
Liberty Girls Big Musical Comedy.
They did such enormous business last
week. The Ohlson company made a
tremendous hit with all the regulars
of the Strand, and the Standing
Room Only sign was in evidence ev-
cry night. Last Saturday night this
company played to the largest busi-
ness in the history of the Strand
Theatre. The show "stood 'em up
and packed 'em in" The people
were standing on each others toes
upstairs and down. And it is the
same story this week. Miss Abbott
and Miss West, also the Harmony
Trio, have made many friends by
their clever work, while Burt South
ern and Billy Mifiiin drew many
hearty laughs with their clever come
dy. The chorus Is the best ever seen
at the Strand.-From Mobile Ala.

CORN CLUB" SMITH
OUT OF The RACE
President of A. & M. College
Is No Longer a Candidate
For Governor of State

Prof. w. II. Smith, president of the
A. & M. College has addressed an
open letter to the people of Missis-
sippi telling them that he is no longer
in the race for Governor and giving
his reasons for retirement.
There is no doubt that Prof. Smith
would have had a large and intelli-
gent following should he have remain
ed a candidate for Governor. 1t has
been stated that the educational in
terests of the State were behind him
very solidly, they, the teachers, are
a factor to be reckoned with. How
ever, he has decided that it is best
for him to wait few years, saying,
among other things: II can well af-
ford to take my turn later" That
is true, Mr.. Smith is yet young man,
and can wait four years--or even
eight. Prof. Smith does not say so,
but many of his friends will say for
him that he is needed right where he
is, and that he is doing more real
good as head of great school than
he or any other man could do as Gov
ernor, and it seems that he says in
conclusions:
s'I am withdrawing from the race
with very grateful appreciation of un-
solicited assurances of support on the
part of many friends over the State,
and with the hope that they will ap-
prove my action in the matter. 1t Is
not question as to whether / could
win, but question Of duty under the
circumstances"
The great institution over the des-
TIMES of which President Smith now
presides is to be congratulated on this
decision. He has made great sue
cess in everything he has ever under
taken, and it is no wonder that the
A. & M. is fiourishing under his
guidance rs it never has before. The
training Of thousand or more young
men every year is an important work
"a work for which few men are fit
or competent, and when q good one
Is discovered as in this case, he should
be kept on the job as long as he will
have IL.

as a possibility but officials said this
would be done only il it finally ap-
peared not feasible for the railroads

Director General Hines after con-
ferences tonight with Secretary Glass
and Eugene Meyer, Jr., managing
director Of the War Finance corpora
ton made this statement:
"The railroad situation is so cor1-
plicated by this recent development
and there are so many possibilities
that | cannot say at this time what
may be done with the railroads. 1t
will take a good deal of consideration
before a conclusion is reached"
The war finance corporation, Il
was announced today, already hiss
lent $71,505,000 to railroads. 1t
has authorization to advance several
hundred million dollar additional un-
der war powers on adequate collateral

Officials questioned however, whethr
er the terms of the act could be i'm
terpreted literally enough to permit
the corporation to go into this whole
