Remarkable Museum.

EarIham also was the first college
of liberal arts in the state to grant
credit for work toward a degree in
manual training and domestic science.
Today the college has not only a re-
markable museum-named in honor
of the second president, Joseph Moore
but six we'll equipped scientific lab
oratories-in chemistry, biology, phys
les. geology, psychology and domestic
science.
These early days of the institution
we're characteristic of the days of all
pioneer education. The advantages
offered by the institution were few.
ONLY the most essential of furnishings
we're provided, and tradition hands
down the tale that the provender was
not calculated to surfeit. The build
ing was vet unfinished and the grounds
shadeless. The school year consisted
of two terms of twenty-three weeks
with the tuition from thirty and thirty
five dollars term. No record shows
the number that originally enrolled
but there is a statement of Prof. Estes

Fashions and Efficiency.

A. E. Reynolds, the general manager of an
Albany, n Y, street car company, comes to
bat with a practical objection to the abolition
Of the short skirt which IS threatened by the
arbiters of womens \fashions. Getting back
to the old-fashioned long skirts, says Mr.. Rey-
nolds, will materially slow down street car
transportation and make lot more work for
the claim departments. His assertion will be
confirmed by all persons who are old enough
to remember half dozen years back. when
getting a woman on board a street car or off
that vehicle, under the handicap of clinging
skirt which wrapped her about the ankles, con-
stituted one of the problems of the conductor,
motorman and masculine escort. Today. when
the woman can skip on and OF the cars with as
much agility as a man and with considerably
more grace, the long stops for loading and I'M
loading are done away with; transportation is
expedited and we can all get about our bust
ness or our loafing much more speedily than
In the old days. And the danger Of stumbling
with perhaps serious II not fatal results, i.
practically eliminated.

The Right Not to be Talked To.

The traditional reserve of the Englishman
has nowhere been more noticeable than in his
own railway coaches. An English court has
just punished a man who offended in this of
all places. against his neighbours inalienable
right not to be spoken to ii he did not wish it.
At Nottingham, Robin Hoods old haunts, an
Enslishman has been fined the sum Of one
pound sterling. He bought third class tick
ct and wickediy climbed into first class coach.
There he found a fellow passenger. He not
only addressed this person not knowing him.
but persistently tried to engage him in con-
versation. Unwarned by the others silence,
>uptsught Of tradition, he kept up the attempt
with persistence worthy of better man. At
length he became abusive, as conversational
people sometimes will. The court fined him
but the dispatch fails to tell how many shill-
ings he had to pay for merely calling his fell
low traveller bad names and how much for the
trespass on privacy. The right not to be talked
to has had ct least some vindication. 1t has no,
hitherto received quite as much attention a.
the right Of free speech.
