What Ls-z-
Hudson Seal?

In Washington, the readers Of advertising know
Hudson Seal is a trade name for dyed muskrat
They also know that those furs trade named as
Sealine, Baltic Seal French Seal, etc, are really
Dyed Coney or Rabbit.
For two years the furriers Of Washington cooper
atng with the Better Business Bureau, have adver-
tised fur trade names frankly and clearly SO that
the public will know what fur is really used In
this way, public belief and confidence have been
built in the fur trade and in fur advertising.
Beginning this month, fur dealers will again offer
to the public Summer and August fur sales. Again
they will qualify all trade names so that no one
can possibly be misled and that even greater
confidence will be built in the great fur industry.
The furriers of Washington want you to remember
that Hudson Seal' is dyed muskrat Many other
limitations of the genuine Alaskan sealskin are

CRITICIZE SYSTEM
 OF SCHOOL GRADES
English Teachers and Educators
 Do Not Like Workings

Oxford, Eng, May 2S AP) - The American system Of education. with it's arrangement of yearly grades or classes extending up from the primary schools to the senior year in college, finds little favor among English teachers and uni versity authorities. In English pub lie schools the form system. which puts promotion upon equality of work done rather than on years of attendance, is considered to give satisfactory results while, In the universities the American classifCa- ton of freshman, sophomore, jun for, senior and post graduate is un- known.
 Sir Michael Sadler, president Of University college, and noted English educator has recently criticized the class system Of school organization. on the ground that under 1t boy who does not begin his schooling early enough or in the approved manner misses the train" and thereafter is never able 10 catch up. oxford certainly is free from this criticism, he said. as a considerable number Of the stu dents admitted have been under tu- tors and have never attended any variety Of school.
 The disadvantages of strictly organized class system of schools and colleges are well Illustrated, it wa pointed out, by the career of Joseph Wright. NJ. A., Ph. D., D. c. L., It.. D., Lit. D.. F. E. A., until recently the Oxford professor of comparative phiIoogy. Dr. Wright was born in one-room Yorkshire cottage for which weekly rental of ten pence was paid, and at the age of six was working for thirty cents week. He never attended a school, but at 13 he taught himself 10 read, and in the seven years fol- lowing he taught himself Latin, Greek, French and German. To ll' S' IIt itllII dbHNu 9dllShIIlt Slu Bulgarian. Old Morse and 1celandic, old and modern High German, Lithuanian and Russian.
 With these qualifications Dr. Wright was readily Ecccived into the university world, and in 1901 he succeeded the great Max Muller in the Oxford professorship and brought out inc scholarly and con- prehensivc English dialect diction- ary, He also produced standard primers and grammars Of Gothic, Greek, middle and old High Ger man and old English. The value Of his researches were recognized by the crown, and, after the ancient fashion, he was provided with a government grant or civil list pen- sion of about $l,U00 year.
