The proclamation on as cending the throne Is preceded by the traditional call of the French heralds of former times, "Oye. oyec. ores!

The idea of growing planbj by elec tricity has been referred to as the "last cry" in gardening and floriculture; but, as a matter of fact, the idea is nearly a couple of centuries old. - As long ago as 1747 electricity, as an aid to plant cultivation, was advocated by a writer in the old Gentleman's Magaslne, wbo mentioned the astounding . results be bad achieved from electrifying a myr tle seventeen times.

Th stents who mv attend I "Now- r" Ml1 tn bTbtT this institution are limited to 100. ' It is to form what is so sorely needed in the United States as an offset to the prevalent plutocracy, "An aristocracy of the mind." The institution in question is the graduate school, established on a foun dation of $4,000,000. This sum, by making possible the policy of admis sion for merit only, proves how money can be used to destroy the too great power of money. With independent resources there is no reason why this school should turn away any student competent to profit by its courses. ' Pure scholarship governs the en trance requirements. It is planned to . admit 100 young men, graduates, of course, who give promise of being able to reach the highest intellectual heights. By this recognition of the value of higher education the foun ders of this Princeton institution fol , low in the footsteps of Germany. The German respects scholarship as he re spects nothing else, not even military prestige. To the poorest professor or ''intellectual worker of any kind there is accorded a recognition that no wealth nor purely material attainment can command. In the United States the brain work ed who cannot coin his thoughts into , "the, round, yellow pieces : that buy things" is placed lower than the suc- rMflfu1 mAM-hnnt or manuf ActnrAr. In the early days of this country -it was natural that-the emphasis should be placed on material conquests. In a primitive land he who fosters trade, , opens markets and develops resources is a public benefactor. From this early tradition we have imbibed our extreme respect for wealth. Today, with conditions no longer primitive, with education more widely diffused and with our people' keenly conscious that there are more than material conquests to be gained, we should fos- ster the habit of recognizing culture and learning. The graduate school at Princeton is significant in so far as it signifies that the tide is turning.
