HOPKINS, President Dartmouth Colleifc /M't fe-' Too many men are going to college! The opporifehiities for securing an education by way of the college course are definitely a privilege and not at all a universal right The funds available for appropriation to the uses of institutions of higher learning are not limitless and e cannot be made so, whether their origin be sought in the resources of public taxation or in the securable benefactions for the enhancing of private endowments. It consequently becomes essential that a working theory be sought that will operate with some degree of accuracy to define the individuals who shall make up the group to whom, in justice to the public good, the privilege shall be extended and to specify those from whom the privilege should be withheld. fs This is a twofold necessity: On the one hand, that men incapable «| profiting by the advantages which the college offers, or indisposed, shall not be withdrawn from useful work to spend their time profitlessly, in idleness, acquiring false standards of living, and, on the other hand, that the contribution which the college is capable of making to the lives of competent men and through them to society shall not be too largely fastened by the slackening of pace due to the presence of men indifferent ^ or wanting in capacity. We hear much of men seeking an education, but too often they are only seeking membership in a social organization which has reputation for affording an education, from which reputation they expect to benefit if they can avoid being detached from the association. The assumption would be humorous if it were not so serious that enrollment with a college requires that the college shall either force education upon the individual man or surreptitiously bait him to it rather than that he should crave and at the cost of any effort possess himself of the utmost which the college can give. V; tt would be incompatible with all of the conceptions of democracy •4ft assume that the privilege of higher education should be restricted to any class defined by the accident of birth or by the fortuitous circumstance of possession of wealth, but there is such a thing as an aristocracy of brains, made up of men intellectually alert and intellectually eager, to whom, increasingly, the opportunities of higher education ought to be restricted if democracy is to become a quality product rather than simply • quantity one and if excellence and effectiveness are to displace the mediocrity toward which democracy has such a tendency to eki4^t^" «&a^a«lSdl:ci!idl.t»idJ»^i».ci5g5HSH5Z5m5555555gSH5g525SH5Zmi^t[!j'aa. GIANT TREE ON LONG INLAND Cxp«rts ftay Syaamore t« Nearly Four Hundred Y(M Old and Good for Century More. "Old Sycamore," the giant on the place of James Hill at Wheatley, L. L, which recently won the "biggest tree on Long Island" contest conducted by Normal Taylor of Brooklyn Botanic gardens, was born only 57 years after Columbus landed at San Salvador, in 1492. It was eighty years eld when Hendrick Hudson first saw Long Island-- in 1620. This Is the opinion of Mr. Taylor and other experts who have examined the giant sycamore, the New York world States. Its age Is estimated between 300 and 400 years, more likely the latter, it Is said. The trunk near the ground is 24 feet In circumference and some of the limbs, half way up even, are larger than the trunks of many treee which claim to be patriarchs. The height of "Old Sycamore" has not been ascertained, but it towers over the landscape in lordly fashion. Mr. Hill says that 00 years ago the place was used by the county butcher as his home. His beef, when slaughtered, was hung on chains from "Old Sycamore's" limbs. One of the chains was there when Mr. Hill bought the place. During the past 10?j or 120 years, after the forest was 'cut away, soil from neighboring hills was washed down and filled around the tree to a depth of 15 feet. This was verified six years ago, Mr. Hill says, when a tree expert gave "Old Sycamore" the first doctoring of its life. The tree is said to be In splendidcondition and good for a century er to, more. FOLLOWED SEA FIFTY' YEARS Should Be Educated Men By HERBERT S. HADLEY, University of Colorado. fWi ) • 1 Retired Commander Has Many Stories of Adventure Accumulated During Half Century on Ocean. Capt. J. W. Christie, formerly commander of the White Star Dominion liner Canada, has retired after sailing, the seas for 51 years. Captain Christie first went to sea when only ten years old and during the next half century participated In many Interesting experiences. . . _ _ , In 1877, while still an apprentice, he Particularly Is It Necessary That Our Lawyers [served on the old sailor seaforth, when that vessel was employed to carry th«- famous Hudson's Horse from India to the Dardanelles at the time of the Russo-Turkish war. The fleet of transports reached their destination, and landing native troops to Occupy Cyprus, they found the Turks intrenched close to the beach and were forced to commence debarkation under fire. The youthful apprentice was given charge of a spirited horse, and mounted on Its bare back swam his steed toward the beach and the Turks. The animal, according to the captain's account of the affair, rea<5hed shore well ahead of all competitors and then, despite the earnest efforts of its rider, dashed headlong toward the Turkish lines. Pull as he might, nothing would check the beast's ardor, until one of many bullets from the intrenched enemy struck it and turned It again toward the sea. The apprentice regained his ship In safety, none the worse for his unusual experience, but with a strong and lasting distaste for International complications. ^ question will naturally be asked, conceding that higher educational standards would decrease the yearly crop of lawyers, would it inprove the profession as a whole, the administration of justice and the <Mafidence of fhe people in lawyers and the courts? Particularly is it necessary for the welfare of the country that ovht lawyers should be educated sen within the best and broadest meaning of that term. !**- If our system of jurisprudence consisted of a set of arbitrary rules; Jlf it was based solely on a system of logic or philosophy, one might properly become a practitioner who had not enjoyed a comprehensive general and professional education. But such is not the case. Our system of jurisprudence is the result of the struggles and achievements, the hopes and aspirations of men who have lived and wrought since civilization began. It consists of rules of conduct born of human experience and needs. So if one is to effectively understand and administer this system be must understand history in its broadest sense, philosopfhy, logic, economics, sociology, and to know something at least of ancient and modern literature and science. 5 *&eivii\g faiiy Tale GRAHAM.

Licensed or unlicensed, legal or illegal, the liquor business in this country has always been lawless and always will be until it is exterminated forever. It is outlawed today chiefly because it always and invariably broke all laws by which decent public sentiment sought to Iteep it respectable. Generally speaking, it never obeyed regulations about i Selling to minors, intoxicated persons and habitual drunkards. It never .observed closing hours when it could profitably disregard them. It obeyed fitily when it was forced to obey. J It is the duty of every right-minded citizen to do all he can to •..lorever eradicate this persistent law-breaking business and there is noth- " ing more ridiculous and wicked than its plea that it should be restored v because it proposes so persistently to defy the law the will of the people ; thus registered against it can never be enforced. If there is one thing above another which is the duty of T«tizenship at this hour it is the strongest law enforcement. jSest Way to Learn to Appreciate United States • Is to Go to Europe By ALLAN HERRICK, American fiinbr, After spending four months i£ Europe, I think I quite fegree with enthusiastic American who set forth his sentiments upoo his return the following language• j _ After comparing devastated France, wrecked Belgium, torn Italy, , tired England, disorganized Germany, paralyzed Poland, mad Russia, s , busted Japan and snake-ridden Mexico, I'm proud and willing to stand ^«ip before any bewiskered Bolshevist in the land and i-11 him I wouldn't > *waP the6e here forty-eight states, prohibition and all, for the whole * European stew-pot."* t Surely ^)e8^ way to learn to appreciate America is to go to ^ I Uurope.

Wood and Furniture. There are thousands of different species of wood In the wor!d, but no two square inches are alike. The same wood may be plain-sawed or quartersawed, but there will be a world of difference in the two. No one Inch in a board Is like another. Nor will you ever find two pieces of wood of the same texture. Trees are developed very much as a human being is developed. They have vertical pipes or pores which carry water and modicums of mineral through their trunks and limbs. Just as the blood feeds the human body. There are no* products In the world whose history will compare with those fashioned from wood. Civilization itself has evolved along with the evolution of wood and its uses. Civil! zatlon would have been Impossible without wood. Nations which have succeeded most are those which have followed the hardwood belts. And all these facts must be weighed when furniture and better furnished American homes are consider)^?" Ha Belongod There. ' One evening as my escort and I were walking up town a car drove up to the curb and stopped. Thinking It was some of our friends who had stopped to pick us up, and seeing that the car was crowded, my escort walked up to the car and said in a cheery voice, "Do you think there'! room for both of us?" "I'm afraid not," said the driver of the car, a perfect stranger to us --as were all the other occupants of the car--and who was merely stopping In front of his own house, In our haste to depart we even forgot to beg the man's pardon.-- Exchange, Islam Fraternities Factors of Qroal Importance Throughout the Whole • Mohammedan World. A spiritual factor of great importance in the Mohammedan world is the fraternities. Islam always had Its fraternities, but the tWo which did the most for Its religious and political revival came into existence about the middle > of the Nineteenth century-- the Sennusslya and the Djemal-ed-Dln, writeB Rev. Amos L Dushaw in thS Christian Herald. The founder of the Sennusslya was Seyld Mohammed Sennussi, a descendant of the prophet and a man of learning. piety and position. It was Btrictly puritanic in character and now, eighty years old, Is exerting a great spiritual influence on Islam. This fraternity has lodges scattered throughout the whole of Islam, but El Sennussi, the present leader, has a firm hold on the whole movement and he has kept It from political alliances, Islamic and Christian. He is ulming at a spiritual revival of his people because he feels that Islam cannot regain Its complete political independence without Its old spiritual life. In a word, the Sennussi fraternity is doing preparatory work. It is also carrying on a tremendous missionary propaganda and converting millions of pagan negroes to its faith. DJemal-ed-Din, unlike Sennussi, was less of a theologian and more of a political propagandist, feared and persecuted by the English. He saw Islam's danger and worked hard to stir it up to action. Stoddart says, "It is not too much'to say that he is the father of every shade of Egyptian nationalism." His influence did not end with Egypt. Djemal-ed-Dln was no wild fanatic. He knew the forces that faced the Islam world and, like Sennussi, only dealing with political matters, he offered advice of real value to his people. "It Is plain that the Whole Moslem world must unite In a great defensive alliance to preserve Itself from destruction; and to do this It must acquire the technic of western progress and leafrn the secret of European power."

Proposal to Destroy It and Erect Got tagos on the Site Has Aroused Much Protest. The ancestral home of Sir Walter Raleigh may be destroyed. It lies in the west country, on the edge of Dartmoor, and is known as FardeL Anciently it was the seat of the family of Sir Walter Raleigh; today it Is nothing more ttyan a farmhouse, but surely worthy of preservation, If only for its historical associations. Raleigh's father, a country gentleman, originally settled at Fardel, where he owned propertyv, His second son, John, succeeded to the family estate at Fardel, and there outlived his more famous brother Walter.' Considerable remains of the old mansion of Fardel exists, but what has roused the protest of the Devonshire association is the proposal to convert the old chapel into a number of cottages. Such vandalism ought to be prevented at any cost. The courtyard at Fardel formerly contained an inscribed bi-lingual stone of the Romano-British period. On the one side were the words "Fanonl Macquisini," and on the other, "Sapanui," with some Ogham characters on the edge. Local tradition makes the inscription refer to treasure buried by Raleigh in an adjoining field; and the local rhyme runs thus: Between this stone and Fardel Hall Ues as much money as the devil can haul. Anyone who wishes to see the stone now must apply at the British museum.--- Christian Science Monitor. The KIT CABINET &-J INDIVIDUALITY IN THE HOM^ Arrangements Able to Reflect in a Thousand Ways the Personality of the Occupant. On the subject of individuality In the home a recent writer has this to say: Individuality is as Important tp a house as personality to a woman. A room should be as sure an index to the character and taste of the person who occupies It as the clothes she wears or the bo<Jks she reads. The truly interesting Interiors are the ones reflecting in a thousand subtle ways the gracious personality of the occupant. A favored color repeated here and there --unusual bibelots culled from far corners of the globe--a rug that immediately challenges attention--these are the things that stamp a room and render It infinitely desirable. You are all familiar with those interiors perfect to the last detail--every piece of furniture of the right period and in the right place, and we all know how uninspired they are and how difficult to live in. Nowhere is the' unusual touch, no sense of any personality breaks through. Everything Is stereotyped and consequently dull. > StealInfh--and Proud of It. ° Representative John W. Longlegr, From Kentucky, tells this one in Washngton, says Everybody's: A young attorney in Plkevllle, who tought county honors, was on an electioneering tour in his district when he ;alled at a house where the head of the family happened to be. absent. He told the mistress who he was and that ae was a candidate seeking votes at the coming election. "And it's you!" she exclaimed. "Why, of course my husband will vote for you, bein' it was you that got hisa cleared of stealln' that meat." "Say on the charge of stealing the neat," the attorney corrected her.
