The pi evicted reaction han come In the uciiilemic halls. Princeton, long a h trough old of the cltuifilei, requires no Crock either for getting In or out, and nnti'n Htudy of Latin is all that is (ti'i)mtnlnt for tin; dcpioe of bachelor of arln. Yale troei even further. No Latin 1 required for entrance, to the univer sity, nor any advanced algebra, trig onometry or solid geometry for Shef field Scientific school. Even Oxford, the undent English seat of education, 'sponsors the statement that " the classics, while all admit their inestim able sorvlces to learning in the past, nro jrrmiunlly receding into the back ground." J)f course .this revolution is aimed to meet the present demands for that sort of education which shall fit men i jrot rich tlw quickest, and to meet the condition arising from the high wqiren of unskilled labor; but it in a mistake to let It. go loo far, Thero may bo morn money In mod ern InngungOs than in ancient, yet Home knowledge of ancient language is of Inestimable, benefit in mastering the modern tongues and understand ing tlie modern raced that speak them. Undoubtedly much time biu been wasted in old-fashioned, tortuous mr Winds of calculation; hut for Mil that, engineering is based on higher mathematics. The past, in spite of all our modern ity, cannot be ignored entirely, for it in straight to its "inestimable ser vices" that we owe our piosent high development. Good Advice Always on Tap, . This morning a. La (irande man said . that he had just paid a dollar for u very small basket of apples. Report Imvo been made to the effect that peo ple nil over the country the past whi te have bad to pay neaiTy as much ft.r apples as they paid for oranges. Apparently the apple businesa In the eastern part nf the country ban gene by the board entirely and people have stopped trying to cultivate orchards. (no government report that in New )lampshire the output the past few Jjears has been only 2M),000 bareeitas against a regulitr output a ftv .years go of a millioi) barrels.

It n easy lo give advice as to tht profit in apples just now, but when Information of benefit is sought when It is needed it is as sniree and as fal out of reach as 'the apple supply at present seems to bo. Business as Against Politi cal Management. . The way to fight Itol'shovlsm, nay? William Allvn White, the Kansas au thor and. editor, now in Paris on a Russian pence mission, "is to jflvn every man n stake in his own town and country." lie assumes as a matter of course that everybody should huve a private stake there should be a house for very family and a job for every workman and n market for every far mor. Hut over and above that he em phasises the idea that every citizen should be made, ''part owner in his national utilities and in the public uHities and in the public utilitea up the city In which he lives.'' It sounds rnthur odd to hear anyone pleaching public ownership ngain just at this time, whe.n the policy in ques tion js aubjeeted to criticsm on all sides as a result of war experience With it. Still, Mr. White seems to make n gcod cose, particularly for municipal ownership of public utili ties. The tendency in Germany, Franc! and Great Tlritnin, lij1 remarks, is nil in that direction, and he holds thu'; the re.sulU prove his contention that accordingly . as I he people gain a larger stake hi the welfare of theiv comimmitii s, the less inteiest they show in nuiicnl and dangerous politi cal nostrums. ' ' 1 "It Is pll nonsense, lie says, 'tn say that cities cannot run public utili ties as economically and us siitisfae-j torily as private corporations. AH J they have to .do is lo adopt the Ku- rhpenn system of manairement, which Is simply that of getting experts t do the jobs instead of politicians. 'The same men that are employed by private corporations will do the jobs instead of politicians. "The same men that are employed hy private corporations will do the jnli ju.st-as well, perhaps a little ict teT, for municipalities. It is merely a question of a city or a country pay ing the same peiee for brains that pri aVte corpoialiotis ore willing to pay. "It means merely a little readjust-1 mrnt, a little sacrifice of power and so-called prestige m the pait f eer-' tain classes of p.ilitirinns, that is all."
