With the advent of fathers who took advantage of life insurance in their earlier days and who left property besides, the widow's fell into a more comfortable ticn. The tables turned; it was the mother who looked after the son’s well-being, providing him with husband’s where- As a result, thinks the pro- fessor, the widow’s son is a sorry mite. The only son and his theoretical compatriot, the youngest son, are in the same class. The world was made for these fellows and since time im- memorable they have been having the good ‘things of life. In the natural crder of things they figure the in- habitants of the globe owe them a living and they collect it on the easiest possible terms. Where is the boy who has not at some time in his dreams wished he were an only son, cr even the youngest son? They get the good things of life, no doubt. Whether they are made useless is another question. The professor thinks so. That the professor radical some son. post- most of her late withal, is somewhat his teachings is evidenced somewhat by the manner in which he flays the boy who graduates from a military college. Instead of the mili- tary discipline making for a life of regularity and promptness the pro- fessor holds the opposite to be true. The young cadet in his straight-jacket uniform, with the stripes down the trouser leg, is not what we had thought him to be. He must have a bugle ever blowing in his ear to make him step around, when he gets out of range of the commanding officer's voice his character is lost. It is too Lad the profes has exposed our future generals in this manner. While there is much truth in what the professor says, still he has over- drawn the picture just a trifie. His brush must with paint. in or shading is too dark, his have become beclogged The American boy of today while he things much easier than the American boy of yesterday never- theless is not the inferior of his pre- decessor.

Dartmouth’s President. (Boston Transcript.) Three facts stand out to explain how it was possible that Dr. Ernest Fox Nichols should voluntarily —re- sign the presidency of Dartmouth. In the first place there is his own state- ment of temperamental character tive not wholly grateful and fitting scholar of science and happiest when, as an individual, he is pursuing some line of research farther than _any other individual has carried it. There is also the fact that Dr. Nichols not an alumnus of Dartmouth. Cer- tainly no college should feel required to find its president among its own men and among them alone, but if there ever was a college in such a selection is almost the sine qua non of success, it is Dartmouth. In the third place Dartmouth college today faces special problems of ad- ministration which more than ever require of its president a genius and temperament fitted not only to watch over its growth, but also to inspire and direct it, and to maintain, in the flux of changing conditions, the con- tinuity of such traditions and policy as President Tucker, among the great- est of collegiate executives, so ably perpetuated, and without which Dart- mouth would not he Dartmouth. In the educational world Dartmouth may be seen: Standing with reluctant feet Where the brook and river meet. Her enrollment has increased since 1909 by nearly one-third, numbering this year almost 1,500 students with no signs that the tide is yet turning. More rapidly than at any other New England college except Harvard and Yale, endowment and ph 1l equip- ment have been on the increase Dartmouth; graduate schools are multiplying and enlarging in im- portance: all the hall-marks of a great university have been attaching them- selves to this college in the hills of New Hampshire which was once but the simplest of higher schools for boys from the country, and one fea- ture of which at its inception was the training of voung Tndians for civili- zation. Tn recent development Presi- dent Nichéls has played his capable part and has stood for six yvears at the head of Dartmouth’s administra- tion without blundering and without even a row with his students. Today, however, no one seems to see more clearly than he what is the difficulty of the task which Dartmouth’s presi- dent has to confrent in the later stages of this t ion, and what ex- qualifications the president must bring to his job. The genius required that which can set limits for Dartmouth’s growth without stunting it, which can pre- serve the symmetry of Dartmouth’s development not so much by pruning the branches of its latest growing, as by enlarging and strengthening the central trunk of its character as an institution where young men are trained simply and well in the basio and more elementary studies and in the ruggedness which makes for firm character. To this end we are be- ginning to realize that the qualifica- tions and mind of the scientist are not always the best suited, unless there can be coupled with them power of imagination, deep humanitarian in- terests in their best and most vigor- ous sense, and the possession of vision so clear that the plan it sees can be made plain, through the executive's functions, to others Dr. Nichols, re- turning to his field of special distinc- tion, has left to the trustees of Dart- mouth a new opportunity to search for a man with these powe He has given freely of his own best ener- gies, and now asks that another should take up the work where, in all honor, he leaves it. today Conflict of State and National Laws, 3 (American Tndustries.)

At the last national conference on taxation, it was stated the tax as- sessment and collection machinery of the various states is costing the tax- payers $20,000,000 a year, a low esti- mate, and much of it unnecessary.
