be 5 years of age by March Is, 1882"
One effect of this legislation is to
eliminate the so-called "under-age"
kindergarten which for several years
was conducted at the Webster Ameri-
canization School. Instead of this
kindergarten, which was conducted by
trained kindergarten teacher, the
AmericaniZation School now will have
nursery" in care of a "matron." 1t
was largely because of the under-age
kindergartens, to which Representative
Robert G. Simmons of Nebraska, chair
man Of the Subcommittee on Appro-
priations objected, that the strict s.
year age limit was set up.
The retention of the one under-age
kindergarten at the Webster School
was urged because, it was pointed out,
parents attending the schools citizen
ship classes left their children in the
kindergarten while they pursued their
own studies. Mr. Simmons took the
stand that If the kindergarten was only
a nursery he would provide a nursery
for that building and relieve the
teacher for work elsewhere in her field.
Plans for the enrolment of the pub
lie school children recently were an
nounced by Robert l.. Haycock, as
sistant superintendent in charge of ele-
mentary schools, and Stephen Z.

Dependence on Youth.
In building up its corps of officers. as
we'll as its enlisted personnel, the Navy
has learned to place Its chief depen-
dence upon American youth. It does
not ask for men of proven worth in
other lines of endeavor. It draws young
men of good character and ability from
every walk of life and depends upon
training, experience, and proper incen-
tives to produce its leaders, as well as
its rank and file. It gives each man
the same chance to aspire to better
things, to move on and up as he proves
his worth, that he would ind In any

the direction of requiring a specific
number OF hours only. 1t Is a matter
OF education, not of credits merely.
Law Study Difficulties.
Confusion of credits with capacity for
real study, is clearest to me in the legal
sphere, with which I am most familiar,
OF course. To enter upon the study of
law requires not merely certain
amount of preliminary knowledge. but
more often maturity of mind which
only years or certain amount of ex-
perlence can give. So. while a sound
general education is necessary, rigidity
and arbitrariness of so-called standards
is apt to defeat the very ends sought,
viz, improvement In the legal profess
sion
The ideal is. and must be in a nation
opposed to social qualification. to make
education accessible to all seeking it,
There can never be such a thing as
generalization of nation or any of its
parts. 1t is a striking thing that for
instance in Europe the labor movement
has established schools which give what
may properly be denominated higher
education. Similar attempts have been
made in this country. I have known
many minor whose knowledge of eco
nomics was quite impressive, If some
times one-sided, not due to his own
fault. but simply because in his quest
for more knowledge he was driven. for
lack of other opportunities. to lectures
conducted only too often by men them
selves one sided, of a single track mind
There can never be overcrowding In

Question of Rights.
BY what right, moral or of any other
kind, am or any one else entitled to
dictate that my profession. trade or
business shall not be entered by others?
And what Is an infallible measure of
oyercrowding?
Time was, and it is not 50 very dis
tant either, when a high school edu-
cation was considered adequate to en-
ter into business life, or upon the study
Of any profession. Today we demand
more, and where is there a business
man who. in selecting secretary, does
not prefer one who has acquired knowl-
edge beyond that given by a high
school?
merely political concept, but a way
of life, increased educational facilities
are national blessing and any move
ment to limit them. either by arbitrary
standards or making them inaccessible
in any fashion to those not born with
liver spoons in their mouths, repre-
sents a clearly retrograde tendency.
The country today is studded with
institutions we call institutions of
higher learning. The objection can
not be, at any rate should not be, to
their number. or even to their increase,
but rather to the fact that only too
often we confuse education with an ac-
emulation of credits often in unrelated
subjects. Students, for instance, are
required to take subjects ultimately
useful, or even necessary. for the engi-
neer, although the engineering profess
sion Is the remotest one from their
thoughts. The reform, If any. should

many changes in 40 years, and it will
continue to change with every new de-
