DR.. LOWELL RAPS
COLLEGE CREDITS
Imagination, Not Marks,
Counts at Harvard, Presi-
dent Declares.

Imagination, not credits. gradu-
ates Harvard students, DIR. A Law
renee Lowell, president of Harvard
University, declared last night in an
address at the 42d annual dinner of
the Harvard Club of Washington,
held in the Racquet Club, 1875 Six
teenth street. President Lowell
scored the present-day method of
colleges and universities in allowing
students to enter colleges on the
strength of credits, on the ground
that credits are merely something
which the student works for. obtains
and promptly forgets. Thomas w.
Slocum, presidents Of the Harvard
Club of Baltimore made a short ad-
dress. Justice Walter Mccoy, presi-
dent Of the local Harvard Club. who
presided also spoke.
"The day Of the greasy grind
is gone in American colleges" as
serted Mr.. Lowell, 1.-The attitude Of
the student of today Is to obtain a
middle mark. called a gentleman's S
mark. At Harvard we are getting
away from this. Our tutors work
for the student to stimulate his In
terest in something more than mere
credits; he Is coached to become a
specialist. The attitude of the large r
university is to drop the courses that
will detract from the students OBJ
tanning an education intellect.
mean by intellect, education suffi-
cient to go into the world and be
prepared for life.
The competition of life is more
serious today than IT was in years
past. Business men find competition
more keen and the demand for in
tellect is more exacting. The manner
in which we pick students at Harvard
is not from the men who have the
most credits. but to find out how
stupid q man may be to enter Har-
ward and graduate. and then set the
qualifications accordingly. A very
moderate amount Of work will take a
man through college today. Why, not
more than two hours honest work a
day will graduate a man.
The curse of American education
Is the counting OF credits, the practice
Of medical colleges allowing students
to enter medical schools with a few
credits He should have a common
knowledge Of what his credits amount
to and how they are related to the
subjects he will have to pass on in
medical school. Our Harvard men
are not graduated on credits but on
general examinations and what they
actually know-common sense" said
DIR. Lowell in closing.
Mr. Slocum spoke on the rrepara-
tion being made for the annual con-
to be held in Baltimore in May Jus

PLEA FOR WORLD COURT,

NEW YORK, February 19.-Henry
w Taft appealed to the American
public by radio last night to bring
this country into the World Court.
Speaking from the Hotel Plaza, where
l 1000 persons attended a World Court
ball, Mr.. Taft said that although the
court was "functioning according to
the American ideals" America has not
Joined it. Only an aroused public
opinion, he asserted, could make the

collection of the taxi"
DIR. Page declared there had been
a 'calamitous divergence among the
States, both in the amount taken and
in the methods Of taking It,"
Legislation" he said, has been
intricate, conflicting and obscure, and
IL has been subject to such frequent
changes as to shock our feeling OF
security and to cause great hardship
and confusion" On top of the State
complexities, DR. Page said, there
has been injected into a situation
already well nigh intolerabIe the Fed

which, when perimposed on the
levies made by some of the States,
has proven almost confscatory"

Federal government, adding that the
Philippine Islands and Alaska had
their own legislation. Alabama and
Florida, it was explained, lay no death
duty of any sort, and in Florida such
is now constitutionally prohibited.
Mr.. Bradford recommended i'm
mediate reduction of the Federal
estate tax and elimination Of the tax
on nonresident estates.''
Roy c. Osgood discussed in great
detail the practical difficulties now at
tendant upon the settlement of de-
cedents' estates, and declared that the
ideal remedy would be the enact
ment by the States of a. uniform law"
1T is realized he said. that varia-
tions of fiscal policy, divergence of
the character of wealth and industry,
provisions of constitutions, and other
factors in the States make absolute
uniformity presently impracticable.
Substantial uniformity on the Ques-
tions of difficulty is, however, possible
of accomplishment. Until this point
can be reached the remedy lies in
such amendments as shall clarity in
definite provisions of the laws, and
as shall remedy defects and eliminate
wrong principles"

SNAKE STORIES FALSE

Biologists of the Department Of
Agriculture declared Saturday thai
the time-honored yarns about s'hoor
snakes" Singing snakes" and
glass snakes" are buncombe.
The story of snakes that give chase
by grabbing their horned tails in
their mouths and rolling like hoops is
a fable, they say. The so-called
singing snake hasn't any sting, the
biologists crediting the story to ex-
istence of snake having a fine point

to have the power to disjoint and
wiggle off in all directions when at

BARRELS OF MASH
IN FREDERICK COUNTY
Lands of DIR. McCune Raided BY
Sheriff-95-Yea Citizen Knew
Nothing OF 1t

All records for the seizure of
mash, from which moonshine, or
bootleg, liquor is made were broken
Friday evening. when Sheriff Luther
Pannett discovered 10 barrels, or
500 gallons, of this material hidden
in a strip of woods on land owned
by DIR. Samuel McCune, about Is
miles southwest of Winchester, be-
tween Middletown and Marlboro.
Sheriff Pannett had obtained in
formation to the effect that distilling
operations were being carried on at
the McCune place, and the Frederick
County Sheriff made a special trip
to the scene Friday in his automo-
bile, with the intention of raiding
the still and arresting any person or
persons responsible for its opera
ton.
Search of strip of timberland,
located in remote section of the
McCune farm, revealed the 10 bar
rels of mash, which was ready to be
run through the still. No still was
found, however, although Sheriff
Pannett made thorough search over
wide territory.
The Sheriff smashed in the heads
of the barrels and destroyed their
contents by pouring the mash into
Marsh Run, a small creek that runs
through the McCune place.
No one was found in the vicinity
of the mash, and no arrests We're
made. DIR. Samuel McCune, owner
| of the farm. is highly respected
citizen of Frederick County and is
now 95 years of age. He is the father
of the late State Senator James G
McCune, one time a Woodstock at
torney.
DR.. McCune had no knowledge OF
\ the existence of the mash on his
place, and Sheriff Pannett said thai
DR.. McCune had probably not visited
that part of his farm for 10 years.
DR.. McCune is the owner of about
700 acres of land between Middle
town and Marlboro.

PIG SURVEY

The number of pigs in Virginia
saved during the spring of 1925 was
rs per cent less than the number
saved in 1924, according to a sur
vey made by the U. S. Department of
Agriculture and the postoffice de-
partment through the rural mail
carriers.
Hog production in Virginia has
been on decline for several years
owing to the low prices, for the num-
Der of sows that farrowed during the
past spring was 10 per cent less than
the number in 1924 and 20 per cent
below 1923. The number of pigs
saved last spring would have been
much smaller if weather conditions
had not been so favorable for saw
ing the young pigs.
The average number of pigs saved
per litter was CT compared with SO
in the spring of 1924.
When prices improved last spring
farmers began to show more inter
est in hogs and made plans to in
crease their stocks. so the number
of sows bred to farrow this fall is
rs per cent greater than the num-
Der that narrowed last fall.
The increase in production with
the higher prices will result In a
larger income for most farmers, as
hogs are an important source of
revenue on nearly all Virginia farms.
The total value of hogs sold and
in 1924 was estimated
to be more than s12.00O,0O0.
The hog situation in the Uni t e d
States for the next / 2 months is quite
encouraging for producers. Hogs
are just approaching the peak of
their price cycle. Short supplies for
the next few months point to con-
tinued price advances through the
late summer. During the next 12l
market receipts will be
smaller than at any time since 1921.
with prices probably higher than
during the last 1 2 months. Judging
from previous experience, these high
prices plus larger supply of corn
this year probably will stimulate ex-
pansion in hog production during
1926, and this will result in the price
cycle swinging downward once more. /

BOWDO!N HEAD
THINKS FOOTBALL
over EMPHASIZED

Boston. Dec. 4.-(AP)-Heads OF
New England colleges are not IN
agreement on the vexed question Oh
college football. Six college presl-
dents who were asked by The Boston
TRANSCRIPT to express an opinion as
TO whether the game was over-em-
phasized, were divided in their views:
Presidents w. II. p. Faunce OF
Brown and Kenneth c. M. Sills oil
Bowdoin being the only two to ad-
nit their belief that football had
assumed too large part in college
life.
Certainly football is over-empha-
sized" President Faunce said. so
are moving pictures and automobiles.
Americans are immoderate in both
work and play and are more ike
the Latin peoples than like their
English forefathers. 1t is better TO
shout over football than horseracing
or prize fighting. In due time good
sense will assert itself and the en-
ceIlent game of football will take Its
proper place.
''If the purpose of the college Is
primarily intellectual and education
al the present emphasis on sports Is
a real indictment of the. intellectual
slovenliness of the American people,
President Stills said.
Charles A. Plumly of Norwich
University said the over-emphasls
was found in the public rather than
in the college. President Clifton ID.
GRAY of Bates said that, whatever
the case might be elsewhere, inter-
collegiate football was not over-em-
phasized in Maine. President Moody
of Middlebury said any faults in
football might be laid to ABUSES
which the colleges are earnestly at
tempting to curb"
President James L. McConnaughy
If Wesleyan deplored the greatly in
creased public interest in the al
most gladiatorial features of foot
ball. He proposed a conference of
colleges of similar type.
