Sargent's Code.

1.-THE one thought and ambition of
every college man should be to be a
public official without vice, a private
citizen without wrong, a neighbor
without reproach, a Christian with
out hypocrisy, a man without guile,
submissive to law, obedient to
authority, thoughtful, kind and,
above all, loyal to country and self
Such is the code outlined by John
G. Sargent, who recently became At
torney General of the United States,
in a letter read at the annual senior
class banquet at Tufts College, of
which he is an alumnus.
It is a code not only for college
men, but for every one who aims
to be a good Amercan.-William

for a living and rather prided himself
on his attitude. Americans were not
great deal more perspicacious. In days
even more ancient the man of letters
or Of arts found his chances of making
a living so precarious that in order to
succeed he had to enlist the patronage
of some wealthy and discriminating
man or woman to keep the wolf from
the door. Now the assured income Of
a competent musician compares well
with the average increment of the
learned professions" And with
higher pay, better living conditions
and more contented minds. the Amer

Council Of Labor Unions.
Tho the trade union activities in
the international settlement have

ers pointed out, the spirit of the
Chinese workers on strike was ex-

Their are over 10000 operatives
employed by the English and Japanese
on strike drawing 6 dollars from the
Shanghai council. The council spends
sum of $1,2OO,OOO monthly in strike
relief. So far most OF this sum has
been collected in the interior of China.
1t is very necessary that China re-
ceive international assistance, as the
strike continues to spread and more
funds are needed.
There are 1913 unions affiliated with
the Shanghai council.
