She Scworrat. A NATItSAL OIVERSITV- It i a general! admitted fact that anr project thai Knacks of nsre'.tr, eo matter how unpractical or chimerical, will tind plenty of active and ardent iupporter. I: iti a financial scheme of the absurdest kind,i:rr.p.incredu;ou ine:er vie with each other in their frantic endeavors to be come suddenly wealthy. Hit bean indas fiaJ quetion,it is immediately declared to bsthe only roid to the millenium. If it bs a proposition for a new edncatkiiul p'.an, li U hailed as the acme of national gTeat new. AVe do not rerr ember who first sug gested the idea of a national university in tiis sountry to be managed and supported by the government. but unlets some better reasons for the -iablithment ox such an i-isitut:on than those that have thus far b:en presented, can le given.ifcep'anmuit fiil to materialize. The first reason given by the advocates of such a university :hat acauntry o populous, wealthy and great as this shou:d be independent in i;s educational resourct. as w e'.l as in other things cf Europe, ar.d that its younj men should not e obliged 10 go a'aroae to the great scaools cf England and Germany.to complete their education in any branch of science." Pride in one's country is al ways commendable and particularly if it be a progressive one. Independence is a thrilling word. It is a reminder of the days of '76, and can always be relied upon for arousing exultant enthusiasm in the average citizen of this coantry.but when it comes to taxing every citizen for the high er education of a very few it behooves the people to do a little sober thinking before they shout for independence. Are the tax payers of this country ready to bear I the expense whici wealthy men now are ' under for the education of their sons in j Europe ? Moreover. ire no not imagine that the foreign universities are so very far in j advance of some in this country. John j Hopkins university in Baltimore was found- j ed on the same plan as those of Germany j aftj probably affords equally gwd aJvan- j tajes. This opir.ien will doubtless be ! scouted by those who can see ability only j -where it is flavored with the foreign accent. Again it is proposed that the instructors 1 shall be those who have become eminent in their several departments in the already existing universities. They are ,iot to sever their counection with their respec tive schools, but simply "detailed" to duty tHere for a portion of the school year. We cuinot understand how such a professor Cin give better instruction in one place than in another, if he gives his beit as he is commonly supposed to do. The location of this institution is to be in Washington, because the supreme court sitt there, and there congress assembles. In addition to these, the national museum, the patent of fice, the government laboratories, the na tional and congressional libraries are de c la red to afford unusual advantage for students. We presume that the decisions of the United States supreme court are in all the law schools of this country cr can be secured, so we can hardly see any ad vantage to the student in being able to gaj: upon the official robes of this august body. Just whst advantages they are expected to giinby being q a arte red in the same citv ai the national congress.it is hard to s-e. If it be eloquence and logic they seek, they mr as well attend the sessions of a hih sclvwl lyceum. We were not aar that there was any patent office connected hh the university at Heidelberg or Letpsican J as to the laboratories and libraries, wt ven ture to that they do not much excel thase of Harvard, Columbia, and Cornell. Aside from these objections there is a! war the dinger that such an Institution mat- become a part of the political "machine." in which esse Its usefulness would be de stroyed, No,if the government is to assist in the education of its citizens, let it reach out a helping haid to those who are strug gling In the lower walks of I;fe, and leave the higher education to the numerous oli cient institutions already established.
