Illinois Governor Now Faces
Trial on Single Charge of
Fraud Conspiracy.

freed of every charge against him ex-
cept that of conspiring with Lieut.. Gov.
Fred e. Sterling and Vernon Curtis to
defraud the State of s2,000.00O. All
charges of embezzlement were stricken
from the record.
The date of his trial on the one
charge remaining is, still uncertain.
Judge Edwards, in his decision on the
motion to quash the indictments. ordered
the Governor to trial January 8 on an
Indictment charging him with embezzle-
ment OF 100000 during the last six
months of his term as State Treasurer
A missing word, the position of a
name, three errors in drawing indict-
ments and the shufhing of a pile of
papers accounted for the victories won
by the Governor.
The foreman of the Sangamon county
Grand Jury signed his name in the wrong
place on the back Of an indictment
charging Gov. Small, Lieut.. Gov. Ster-
ling and Mr.. Curtis Jointly with en-
bezzlement of 100000. Judge Edwards
quashed the indictment because of the
foreman's error.
A typist left the word "feloniously'
out OF a count charging the trio with
operating a confidence game. The charge
was quashed.
The clerk of the Sangamon County
Circuit Court. in affixing consecutive
numbers to the indictments, happened to
pick up the one charging Gov. Small
with embezzling 100000 first and gave
1t the first number. Therefore Judge
Edwards ordered this case tried first and
rather than comply the State dismissed
the indictment.

worse than read history compiled by

cent. American and 80 per cent. British -
Although the Commissioner itinerary
is a little vague, he intends to visit the
haunts of the forefathers that are mem
toned "slurringly" in the history books
and his journeys may take him at the
expense of the city to Boston, Baltl-
more. Concord. Philadelphia and Wash

The Boston tea party, Paul Revere's 8

some of the events which the Commits

Wh O Should Pay
for Education?

~ WGLA ~ ~ Thiotih'a'
IA of one of our Eastern uni
versities, who recently declined
to contribute to the Endowment
Fund Of his Alma Mater, ex
pressed his reasons substantially
rs follows:
"Why should pay for educating
the children of other people? l am
willing to pay for my own. If the
college tuition fees are not high
enough to cover the cost they should
be raised, and will gladly pay the
extra expense. Every one who can
afford to should be asked to do the
same. Deserving students who can
not afford the entire cost can be
taken care of by scholarships.
The attitude of this man is for
tunately not that of the greet
majority of college graduates,
but the solution he proposes for
the financial problem of the
universities is receiving more or
less discussion just now.
Those who hold the view that
parents should bear the entire
responsibility of educating future
generations probably dc not real
ize that it is merely a reversion
TO an ancient view. Not so many
years ago education in general
even that of the primary and sec
ondary schools-wes paid for by
the parents. The condition
changed only when the fact be-
came recognized that lack of edu-
cation handicapped not merely
the Individual but the whole com
munity. The responsibility for
education was therefore brought
home to the community.
In democratic America we have
managed to avoid the evil oi
separating students into a paying
group and a charity group. Schol-
arships have been provided, but
not of a kind to destroy the self
respect of those whom they par.
tally maintain. In most in.
stances they have been accom-
panied by an obligation, ex
pressed or implied, upon the in.
dividusl beneficiary to repay the
tuition loan, either in presen,
service or in cash payment after
the student has graduated anc
entered active life.
Personally, l should never con.
sent to any division of New York
University students into classe;
based upon the wealth of theil
parents. should regard it a:
dangerously subversive of the
democratic character our studen,
body has always manifested.
Furthermore, / do not believt
the community can escape {
moral responsibility for securing
the financial stability. the proper
equipment and the generous en-
largemeDt, of the institutions ir
which the new generation of mer
is to find its educational oppor.
tunity.
