CHICAGO, January 29.-Less
maudlin sympathy by the public for
criminals and more sympathy for
agencies engaged in law enforcement
are needed to control present day
crime conditions, Newton d. Baker
of Cleveland. former Secretary of
War, told the Midwest conference of
the special committee on firearms
regulation of the National Crime
Commission yesterday.
To-day, instead of making the
world safe for democracy he said
I'VE must make our cities safe for
ourselves to live in. To do this we
need TO organize public opinion In
such a way as to overcome apathy
for crime conditions and the maud
lin sympathy displayed for the Grim
inal. There must be more sympathy
for the victim of the criminal, for
the police who apprehend the GRIM
inal, the prosecutor and the Judge
who bend their efforts to bring him
to justice"
Practical unanimity of opinion

guarantees for personal and property
rights of foreign residents involved.
The proposal is believed to apply to
the British concession at Hankow,
which now is under Cantonese juris-
diction, and at Tientsin, in the area of
the northern faction. Both are popu-
lous and wealthy cities. Tientsin is
the commercial capital of North China
and it's only sea outlet, while Hankow
is the most important Yangtze River
point in the interior.
1t is expected the offer also will ap-
ply to the minor concessions such as
those at Kiukiang, Cfinkiang and
Canton. The proposals do not, how
ever, apply to the international con-
cession here, which is the richest in
the republic, because although British
influence predominates in Shanghai,
the settlement is technically under in
ternational control.
Move With Other Powers.
It is noteworthy that the British
proposals do not include the general
question that extraterrit orial rights of
British subjects be determined in the
British courts of China. 1t was point
ed out that as regards extraterritor-
iality, aside from the matter of con-
cessions, the British position is the
same as that of the other powers, in
Guiding the United States. 1t was re-
garded as unlikely that Britain will
make a move in this connection until
the other powers do SO
The reaction among the foreign resi-
dents here to the new development is
| one of resignation, since it was felt
! weeks ago that the day of the foreign
concession is done, but what reception
the offer will get in Chinese circles is
uncertain.
In the meantime, plans for a pa
| rade of the volunteer corps through
the main streets of the international
settlement were altered at the eleventh
| hour, and only a simple review was
| held at the Shanghai Race Club. to
which the Chinese public was not ad

ments. 1t is this education Of useful
ness, rather than of adOrnment only that
| call The Higher EducatiOn".
The first requisite then for this higher
education is a desire for knowledge.
Learning to be worn as q badge of distinc.
ton is nothing. knowledge for the good
use that can be made of it is everything.
No man need be discouraged because Of
his little learning. The wisest man is he
who realizes that all the knowledge the
human brain can possibly contain is lit
tie. Plato, who would be included in
any list of the twelve best minds said:
The learning and knowledge that we
have is at the most but little compared
with that of which we are ignorant =
He, pupil of Socrates and the teacher Of
Aristotle knew a great deal including the
fact that he knew little. Learning is
only valuable when it means actual
knowledge, knowing. And knowing is
only valuable when it means doing,
creating, adding to the possessions of one
self or of others.
Enthusiasm is another requisite with
out which this higher education is not
possible of attainment. You must not,
however, allow your enthusiasm to run
riot. Well do | remember an instance
when this happened to me. | was presid
ing at a meeting at which the late Judge
Payne was one of the speakers and was
all eager to present my friend. AS far
as my memory serves me this is the man
ner in which it was done: Ladies and
gentlemen, you have listened to the last
speaker with pleasure, you will now have
Payne" That was one time my enthusi-
asm got the better of me.
Teachers, | will not affect to disguise
from you the labors and difficulties that
beset the path upon which you must en-
ter if you are after the higher education.
The immortal garland is not to be run
without dust and heat, " and the victory
you are to achieve will be the crown of
~recompense of infinite toll, of obstacles
overcome, Of high faculties exerted to
the utmost effect, of a life devoted in all
its energies 10 the aim Of not only emin-
ence and distinction in your chosen work
but also to doing the best you know now.
There can be no higher mission in life
than the work of educating children. In
your work you are perpetuating DEMO-
CRACY. Years ago the State of South
Dakota was divided up, A new consti-
tuition was contemplated and a commit
tee was elected to draw up a constitution.
