(Official City, State and County Newspaper) s Elective System President Glenn Frank of the Gniversity of Wis- consin dec! “The elective system has changed our colleges into something that reminds me strongly of an intel lectual cafeteria, for, in a cafeteria, there nothing’ to guide the inexperienced in his choice of food. “The elective system had its origin in the tre- mendous growth of knowledge in the last century. The fund of facts in an ine: ing number of fields finally became so great that educators, completely overwhelmed, had to turn the task of selection over to green freshmen, who were not qualified to mak* choices, he burden of knowledge, which is threatening to crush edacation under its weight, analagous to the structural overloading of our civilization. “In colleges the tendency to specialization and de- partmentalizing of subjects is killing the active in- terest of students in them. One remedy must be found in broadening and dramatizing education. One reason why football attracts so much mere of the undergraduates’ attention is that a football game is a vital, dramatic whole.” President Frank hits the nail squarely on the head, Too much latitude in selecting a course of study is given students, both in high school and college. Se many students are incapable of selecting a four years’ course, that a more rigid em of compul- sory subjects essential. There are too many graduates coming from high school and college without any real education, and there are so many of them who receive just a smattering of -what is called “snap subjects.” These students regret the latitude they were given in the selection of their courses, when forced to face the stern realities life. They realize that it is not always the “easi way” that pays in a college course. President Frank has sounded a timely warning and he has done it in a most characteristic and virile fashion. Reflects Business Prosperity Steady expansion of commerce and industry 1s graphically shown by the income tax receipts. Thus far, in the fiscal year of 1926, the revenue receipts from internal revenue have exceeded correspondingly the receipts for the same months of the fiscal year of 1925. The theory advanced by Secretary Mellon is that business was “encouraged by the reduced levie Thus far the income tax receipts bear out the con- tentions of those who fought for tax reduction.

We didn’t | hear any of the testimony, but we have been told, | by court officials and others, that the evidence was | conclusive and plainly showed the guilt of the de- | | fendant. Nevertheless, the jury said he was not! | guilty. | It is, of course, discouraging to the officers sworn | to uphold the law of the land, to fail to convict after gathering evidence and working up a_ seeming], rong case. We are not going to comment, at th time, on that part of the case. (There is sericus | doubt in our own mind of the workability of the law under which prosecutions of this character are un- dertaken.) i But there is another angle, or aftermath, of the | case on which we wish to comment briefly at this time. Statements made by at least one juror since the trial of the case seem to indicate that the case was net determined on the evidence presented. This juror’s statement, to a court official, was to the effect that had the prosecuting attorney been de- fending the accused and the opposing counsel had charge of the prosecution—then the defendant would have been found guilty! We refuse to believe that this juror is speaking for the other eleven men who constituted the jury in this case. Hewever, the very fact that the mind of one juror was prejudiced against the state’s attorney and al- lowed this prejudice t> be the determining factor in deciding the case, in spite of his solemn oath to con- sider only the evidence offered, is more important to the public than that a man accused of being a bootlegger is set free, no matter how guilty. What is there to hinder an innocent man being sent te prison—by the same sort. of reasoning? Unless the juror spoke in jest, we are going! heli bent for election with our administering of justice in this country, and the quicker the public and courts are informed of the “trend” among jurors ; (if a “trend” it is)—the quicker we can take steps to remedy the evil. And I certainly think he should have been satisfied. But not he! Nothing would do but that Mister Rubadub should paint him up with magic paint, and put it on thick at that. ‘After a bit Marky was finished, and really I'm ashamed almost to doesn’t| tell you what he looked like.
