A Survey of the World's News N experiment of importance to all universities Is expected to go into effect at Harvard next autumn. It is intended to rein - eft' two evils of college life. Faculties recognille that ability to pass or even to attain distinction in a college course or eeries of tourses on any given field is very different from gaining a thor- ough knowledge of that field. If the field be a large one gaps will inevitably occur between the different courses. Unless accompanied by wide general reading and unless the gaps between it and other kindred courses are bridged by independent effort the po- tfition which it will assume in the student's mind in relation to the topic of which it treats is likely to be com- pletely false. In order to give full effect to that part of the new rules for the choice of electives which aims at making the student attain a really good knowledge of a single field, the division of history, government and economics proposes to demand, in addition to the regular course examinations now requisite for the degree, an examination on the field in which the bulk of the student's work lies. Under the present system in all American colleges the student scores one of a certain number of points nec- essary for the attainment of his degree with each course he passes. No one can tgke from him a point thus won. The new scheme for a general exam- ination promises greatly to diminish these evils. The field covered by the general examination will be too large to be crammed for. Mental alertness and reasoning power will be necessary. bt CHICAGO INNOVATIONS • Two important municipal boons were taken up recently by the board of edu- cation of Chicago. The first relates to the establishment of an agricultural school within the city limits. This was definitely arranged for, and plans then were taken up for a boarding school fordeaf and dumb children. IR it SCIENTIFIC BREEDING Animal breeding In general and eugenics will be discussed by those attending the American Breeders' as - n convention at Columbia. S. C., Zen.2z 25 and 27. Noted horsemen team all over the United States will , be present There have been such 20Ortfileting theories and methods in dram breeding for the past twenty law that it is considered It is time to bring a scientific investigation to bear upon the subject In apite of differ- ent methods breeding lacks but little of being an exact science, and now it is planned to bridge this space. James Wilson, secretary of agricul- ture, is president, and Willett Hayes. aaststant secretary of agriculture, is treasurer of the American Breeders' association. The convention will be held In con- nection with the fifth national corn exposition, the latter being held from Jan. 27 to Feb. 8. New features will be introduced at the corn exposition. It has been the policy of the manage- ment to broaden the scope of its Activ- ities each year. T}IE NEW NICKELS George E. Roberts, director of the 'United States mint, and an artist have been working on a new design for the five cent piece. The Liberty head is sup- planted by an Indian head on the face of the new coin, while the figure of a buffalo appears on the reverse side. The design Is intended to honor the In- dian and the buffalo. which are so closely linked together in American history.

PP LESSENING STRIKES The National Civic federntionlois organized a within:11 deoorte»ent on /11- dURtr1111 me:Batten lees. with Alaretts M. Masks as chairman. The twelve years' experience of the conciliation de- partment of the Civic federation in dealing with industrial disputea has shown that in enter to reduce the num- ber of strikes to a 1111111111RM alld to bring about an early settlement when the strike is not preventable there is need of new as well as amendatory legislation. both federal and state. Dr. Charles P. Neill, head of the fed- eral bureau of 1/11mr. is the chairman of the federal conindttee. William C. Rogers of the New York state board of arbitration is the (Miamian of the committee of the state board of arbi- tration. P MRS. GOULD ON PRESIDENCY While preferring not to affiliate her- self with wotnen who are taking a hand In polities, Mrs. George J.

An additional two years would give a president op- portunity for the working out of re- forms and the carrying to completion of presidential policies.\ st TO SAVE THE SHIPWRECKED A special type of flying machine may he employed in rescuing persona from disabled vessels as a result of a session held not long ago at Newport News, Va., when about sixty models were carefully studied by a government board which has had the matter under consideration. Other similar boards met at San Francisco and Manila, P. 1. It remains for the quartermas- ter's corps at Washington to determine which device shall be adopted. PP THE HATPIN PERIL ! News cornea from London that the ' day of the hatpin menace is past. The Joyful tidings say that machines in use in the west end shops of the Brit- ish metropolis cut hntpins to measure. In the past they were made only in one or two sizes, six or nine inches long, as the ease might be. But now the London shopper buys her hat, and the saleswoman, with the help of her beneficent clipper, cuts the pin to the exact size. With just a twirl a new point is turned; another twist and the pin is polished, ready for use and pro- truding only n fraction of an Inch. 1 St HYGIENE EXPOSITION Lima, the Peruvian capital, will next summer be the scene of the sixth pan - American congress and at the same time of the fifth Latin-American med- ical congress.

MAN WITHOUT MONEY SHOULD randy Type of Tne1 - 7vidu.411 Hog House t o Stir the People Into Pat. LET IRRIGATED LAND ALONE Ionizin g Your Store. Nothing wins so well as constant work. Often we hear a merchant com- plaining about dull times. Perhaps his neighbor is doing a rushing buminess, for the simple reason that his neighbor keeps busy. If customers are not com- ing in so rapidly as he might wish the inlay man takes time to get busier and devises some new scheme to bring trade to the store. Perhaps he busies himself in rear- ranging his goods in attractive manner on the shelves and in the showcases. If he finds some of the clerks who are complaining of its being dull he imme- diately gets those clerks busy getting out old goods and arranging them in a manner that he can carry on a cleaning up sale to advantage. There is always lots of work to do. How many times do we find merchants who complain of dullness sitting inside and vainly endeavoring to look throup windows covered with dust and dirt! How many times do we find the man who says there is nothing to do looking at a display of dirty goods. Don't you forget it -if you have any business to look after you have some- thing to keep you busy all the time. Nothing like keeping busy about the store. It is sure to pay in the ennui. Even the novice can keep busy reading some good trade paper and posting lip on commercial ideas and make it win- ning thereby. Good Advice.

A Kiss In Nearly Impossible For Him to Wait Long Enough For Artificially Wa- tered Farm to Bring Him Fortune. Farming under irrigation is a highly specialized venture, requiring skill, ex- eerenee, energy and good health alld stremain. To take over a piece of raw land and improve and develop it for 'rip production requires years of ef- fort. Meanwhile the irrigator must I support his family, besides providing himself with the necessary tools and constructing his buildings. Unless a Mall has been able to save up $1.500 or $2.1100 or has RR much at his com- nutud the government does not now advise him to undertake to cultivate an irrigated farm. \If we define a poor man as one who has absolutely no money or credit,\ says the govern- , ment, \it is nearly impossible for a 1111111 of this kind successfully to han- ilk. an irrigated farm, even if It be given to him. A matt may not be rich, but he must he a good farmer to make a success under irrigation and to meet Ida payments.\ The irrigation farmer must have money to begin with or credit. which iuuciguumits to the snute thing, lie must have good health. He must be willing to work hard. He must have the req- uisite grit to keepeverhistingly at it.

I RID proud of being one of those women who tell peo- ple if they are being treated bad- ly. If 1 heer one person talking behind another person's hack I deal scruple to tell the person talked about that he or she is being maligned. Last autumn I took my dnughter abroad and left at her school in Gene- va. Then I started for Berlin. I got Into an empty compartment and wait- ed till the train started. Presently an' oldish gentleman got in with a young- ish lady. They was very affectionate --at least the oldish gentleman appear- ed to dote on his young wife, who seemed to he watching for some one. Then a youngish man with black whis- kers got in. took a seat directly oppo- site the wife, and she breathed easier. It didn't take me long to find out that that young feller and that young wife were fooling the oldish husband. The old one never turned his head that they didn't look Into each other's eyes lovingly. By and by he got up from his seat, came to the window where 1 was and sat down directly opposite me. at the same time taking a news- paper out of his pocket. I never saw such a fool in my life. If these old men will marry young wives, why on earth do they leave them ill tempta- tion. I'd like to know? The poor old husband never took his eyes off his paper, and the couple at the nther side of the compartment never stopped flirting. I sat straight up and tried to frown 'ern down.
