The category OF unclassitied students,
which is the weakest point In the stu

on with advantage, has been reduced

In general discussion OF the funda-
damental policy OF the Harvard Law
School. the report states that the curricu-
lum must only be revised. THE Harvard
Law School," writes Dean Pound, lis
professional school and school OF the
common law. There is no authorita-
tive system Of the common law TO be
taught to our students as the system
OF Justinian's Institutes Is taught to the
students of Roman law, or as the sys-
tenn of a modern code Is taught in civil
law countries. The most that may be
done is to strive toward a system and
teach each subject with reference thereto
and in the light thereof.
mo school will ever be able to teach
everything which the lawyer will need to
know even in the way of law. The law
school must make a wise selection and
leave the rest to the student himself
Nothing Is more futile than the idea
that student may be expected to know
about q subject unioss he has
had formal instruction in a course en-
bracing that subject, and that he may
be expected to know nothing of that
subject beyond the scope of The course.
New fields of law are developing con-
tinually and lawyers are expected to act
in those new feds without
previous study of them in school The
student must learn as an essential part
OF his professional training how TO
master fields Of the law with which he
has not been made acquainted in the
lecture room. or the new subjects which
&C ntinually come forward in legal devel-
opment some are adapted to study in
in the law school and some aTe not.
Question of Selection.
Attempt to cover all details super
ficially is not the path for the law
school. 1t must of necessity select
those things which it can do best and
in which teaching may do the most for
the student and must teach those as
we'll as may be, leaving the student to
do the rest for himself as common law
lawyers have always done. Moreover.
in training students drawn from the
wfole country there must be some Iatl-
tude Of choice after a common founda-
ton has been laid in the first year II
the curriculum Is to meet the needs OF
different localities. Some subjects are
important for a law office in New York
city which are unimportant for practice
in the country in the West and South
and vice versa. To this extent the cleo
tive system must be retained in the
second and third years.
mo doubt our goal should be instruc-
ton in the law as whole in the system

Lawrence Canal during the campaign.
All newspaper articles and speeches will
concern only the barge canal The su-
periority of the canal over all other in
land water routes will be emphasized
and facts and figures will be presented
to show that this type OF canal is best
suited TO carry the commerce from the
great lakes to the sea.
Needs to be Stressed.
The needs OF the canal will be stressed
during the campaign. II will be shown
how the canal may aid the State, COM
mercially, as a whole and what the
State should do TO derive full benefit
from the canal.
1t is hoped TO make all the people OF
New York State more familiar with the
barge canal, which has replaced the Erie
Canal and which up TO date has cost
$166.000.0 900. AS a result of this cam
paign 1t is expected that shippers will
become more interested, capital will be
attracted toward investing in canal car
rlers and the State will be fully aroused
as to what is necessary to facilitate
needed improvements.

HARVARD LAW DEAN
AGAINST LIMITATION
Opposes Restricting Number
Of Students as Affecting
Schools Influence.
NATIONS LIFE REFLECTED
Number Of Colleges Represent
ed Is 180-Wants New
Hall Completed.

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. March 1S.-The
Harvard Law School must either under
take further building or else limit its
members, and since limitation is an un-
satisfactory expedient. "the best inter-
ests Of the school call for early COM
pletion OF Langdell Hail." says Dean
Roscoe Pound in his annual report, made
public last night at the university.
Dean Pound points out that there are
now substantially one thousand students
in the school. with sections larger
than the classes for which the lecture
rooms were planned. the alternatives
confronting us are further building or
arbitrary limitation of numbers. The
latter alternative is unsatisfactory for
two reasons. In the first place, experi-
ence in awarding scholarships has shown
that II Is by no means easy to select
with assurance on the basis of the col
ieges from which students come and the
records they made therein. A lmita-
tion of the number of students, say, to
1000, would be sure to exclude stu
dents whom ultimately we should pre-
fer to some of those received.
Again, it would be likely to restrict
the influence of the school by narrow
ing the field from which it draws. In
three years the number of colleges rep
resented in the student body has risen
from 155 to $50. Twenty years ago 1t
was 30. 1t would be unfortunately any
thing were done to impair the national
character of the student body.
UncIassified Students.

to be brought against federal pro-

DOUGHERTY TO PAVE TO
MITCHELL COUNTY LINE

ALBANY, May 26.-Motorists
coming into Albany from the south
soon will be able to ride the entire
distance from the Mitchell county line
on asphalt pavement, as the Dough-
erty county commissioners will oe-
gin work in a day or two on another
section of paving that will carry the
kard-surface to the county line, a
distance of eleven miles. There is
now stretch of three and one-fourth
miles paved, leaving seven and three
fourth miles to be paved on the new
project. The cost of the paving will
be approximately $4,000, Of which
the state highway department will
pay one-half with federal funds. The
county by use of its convicts, will
reduce its part still fruther. Dough-
erty county has $208,00O of her road
bond money, voted in 1919, of which
only about one-seventh will be used
on this project, leaving enough to
do much more paving in the county.

COTTON COESTO
20 CENTS HERE;
LITTLE SELLING
Continued Rains Throughout Belt
Cause Future Deliveries To
Soar

Strict middling cotton sold for 20
cents on the Americus spot market
today, but little was to be had at
that price. On the strength of con-
tinued rains throughout the cotton
belt, which have seriously lowered
the crop prospects by retarding culti-
walton and increasing boil weevil in
festation, the future markets scared
TO new positions for the present bull
movement and there were many who
believed the smarket would go still
higher.
Much of the cotton held for 20
cents in Americus is in round lots
for all of which the price is de-
manded. 1t will require few more
points in the rise to bring a price
f20 cents for round lots. 1t is
said a thousand or more bales are
held for that price with orders to
sell when it is reached.

If customer comes in twice in
response to offerings of, say 100

fashioned silk stockings at $1.98" on

nor full fashiend, it is no wonder
that she will not have much faith in

vertsing
There is, however, constant and
marked improvements along this line.
1t is due largely, we like to think,
to the development of the Better
Business Bureaus of the A. A. C. of
w. in all the large centers of COM
merce.
A complete return of prosperity
must wait upon the stabilizing of la
Dor and of prices. 1t must also wait
upon resumptio nof foreign trade
based upon payment in acceptable Sc
curities, since foreign gold has almost
given out, and foreign goods in large
volume cannot find place in our
markets for some time to come.
In the meantime, however, the
situation is improving slowly but
surely from day to day, and there is
no occasion for pessimism.

Local Team Takes Thursday
Game BY Score OF 19-1--

The Seaboard got its revenge.
Playing in a drizzling rain practical
ly the whole time, the local railroad
ball team cleaned up with Pitts on
the Playground diamond Thursday af-
ternoon by a score Of 1871. There
was nothing to it. The Seaboard
team had their slugging clothes on
and went after the visitors from the,
start. Harry Smiths batting was
feature, he getting one 3-bagger and
two doubles. The prettiest play of
the game was a double play from Gill
strap, in left field, to O'Brien on
third base, to R. Mathis on second
base. Fancy catches by Gilstrap in
the seventh inning and George Ma
this in center field, in the sixth,
brought applause from the spectators.
Batteries for the game were: Pitts,
Maddox and Lancaster; Seaboard,
Hines, Daniels and Crawford.
The Seaboard team will go TO
Bronwood Saturday for game, and
will play Bronwood here next Thurs
day. The 28th district team will
play the Seaboard here on Tuesday
afternoon.
Negotiations are now on to bring

II MEN LIED IN ALABAMA MINE EXPL OSON
TRAVELS $4,000 MILES IN
u. S., FINDS TRADE BETTER

BY CHARLES M MACKINTOSH
president, Associated Advertising
Clubs of the World, Who Has Just
Completed Tour of $4,000 Miles
Through the United States and
Canada, Studying Business Condi-
Written Especially for NEA. Serv-
ice.)
CHICAGO, May 25.-National
business begins to look better. This
is true despite the coal situation,
which of course is retarding the re-
turn of prosperity, particularly in the
iron and steel and allied industries.
In Pennsylvania / found that many
steel mills are reluctant to blow in
blast furnaces in spite of a good de-
mand for steel, because of the dam
ger of fuel shortage.
In Michigan, Illinois and Wiscon-
sin l found the same situation re-
flected in the difficulty of getting
material and parts.
1t is unfortunate that il has not
been demonstrated to labor that the
slight reduction in wages to which so
many object so desperately as a
threat against their war-found pros
perity, is not in reality a reduction
at all-since the average purchasing
power of the dollar has come up APP
proXimately 13 1-3 per cent more
than the average reduction in wages.
In terms of real prosperity, then
since that is measured in merchan-
else, not in money-the worker is
getting greater power to pur chase
the things he needs and wants than
he had at the highest peak of his
war prosperity.
For example, if he still wants silk
shirts, he can buy three of them to-
day for the price of one in 1919
The small but welcome advance in
the price of agricultural products has
given a decided impetus to business.
There has been improvement in both
manufacturing and retail business in
MANY lines and in all parts of the
country.
But there is still much unsettle-
ment in merchandising methods. Bar
gain sales and ficticious values based
on war-price comparison are still
much in evidence, and are doing
much to increase buyer-resistanc
thus sending up the cost Of selling.
1t seems hard for some merchants
to realize that retail advertising is
simply an invitation to the customer
to come into the store and compare
what was said about the merchandise
in the advertisement with the actual
