Tendency to 'Discard the
Classics.
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

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

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.

. 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."

latine are not novelty, however, for
Utah has Ion been a mffie -state
anil the women have had represent:!
tioli ever since suffrage wrm, granted.
Mis. HnywiiM introilueed a number
of bills in the senate, but the mcasc.ro
iipon which nh6 worked consistently
providing an eifrht hour day for. wom
en was killed during the session. Shy
was auecefisful in huving passed and
niirned hy . the Kvernoi, however, a
bill placing the matter of the em
ployment of children Under the ctute
industrial commircion instead of the
juvenile court. Mrs. Hayward.alco was
responsible for a joint resolution auth
orizing fie governor to appoint a
conimitee to consider a suitable mem'
orial to be presented to Utah's sold
iers and sailors The resolution meni-
lullzliie. congress to pass the Susan
I! Anthony suffrage nmendmcnt to
the' r.ationul constitution, which was
passed, was offered by Mrs. Ilayward.
Mrs. Piercey's principal bill, privid
inir for a minimum wage for women
and minora, met defeat. A measure
providing for hours of employment of
women in canteen classes of work, be
came law, however, and credit for thif
measure is due to M rs. Piercey. A
.iniilnr measure introduced in the sen
nte by Mrs. Ilayward, Was lost beenuae
It was said. It was too general In Its
terms. Mra. Piercey also wns respron

The iilory that Hopubllcan lenders
wore considering hlin lor the Presl .
doncy of the Board of Aldermen sur-.
prised "Teddy Jr," u:i he Ib generally
called by politicians. Following the i
publication yesterday, he had a ser
lous talk with some of the Kepiibll
cans who ore fairly high In -she party j
councils locally. Who thoso men are;
he would not Bay. It Is understood
that the chief point discussed war
whether It was advisable for the sou
of Col. RooBovelt 10 attempt at the
outset to run In opposition to a Tain- J
many Hall Democrat in a strongly
Democratic city or to try first for .'
place In the stale neni.tc or assembly
The point hi- been raised by boiiic
politicians that whllo It would be un
admlrnble thine to have Col. rtooso
vnlt's son on the Board of Estimate,
where, bolng the bo'.h opponent of th
party In power, he would have a
chance to mak6 a name for himself.
It would be dangerous for him lo rlBk
defeat at the polls at the very be
ginning of his political career. .
