. Academic Freedom. Academic freedom means that a professor at a college or a university has perfect freedom in

expressing his views. It implies that if his opinions are at variance withexisting beliefs, or precedents, no muffler will be put on him if he pubi.'.i.. ..J Li. ..:..fn ' Ain4omti fraaAnm ia

" Recently the use or abuse of academic free

dom has been forced into the foreground by the

attempts of some universities and colleges to sup

press and stifle faculty members whose opinions differed with the heads of these institutions or their backers. : ,

Dr. S. P. Capen, specialist in higher educa

tion of the United States bureau of education

in his report to the secretary of the interior com

ments as follows on the problem:

"That there is always some pressure exerted in academic communities, as elsewhere, to keep radical propagandists quiet and to discourage destructive criticism of the existing order none will denv. Its extent varies wtih the institution. As

a rule, it is exerted subtly, often unconsciously,

in large universities which are supposedly free. Generally it vanishes as soon as the right of free -speech is publicly broached. Within the past two or three years, however, there have been so many recurrences of disciplinary action directed by trustees and presidents of prominent institutions against professors reputed to hold unorthodox political, economic, or religious views that the question of academic freedom has become temporarily one of the foremost issues in university administration. Upon its correct settlement depends not only the integrity of the universities, but, more remotely, the whole welfare of American education." Dr. Capen speaks well. Freedom of speech is an inherent right, and it ought not be stifled in our institutions of learning. Supression of free speech belongs to tages that happily for us are ancient history.

much less than. in 1915, to find accident figures as small as those reported for the year. . "Excluding trespassers, the total number of fatalities in connection with railway operation was only 3,537, or less than for any years since 1900, . and 27 per: cent less than in 1914, while the number of passengers carried one mile in 1915 was approximately, 106 per cent greater and the number of tons of freight hauled one mile was about 92 per cent greater than in 1900.

"The total number of persons killed in 1915," the Railway Age , Gazette ' shows, "was less than

for any: other year since 1902, and the number injured was less than for any other year since 1911. The total number of passengers killed, 222, out of "approximately, one bmion carried, was less than for any other year since 1898, when

only 798,000,000. were carried ; and the number injured was less than for any other year since 1906. The -total number of employes killed was less than for any other, year5 since 1898, when there were only about half as many employes as in 1915, and the number injured was less than for any year since 1911. The total number of other persons killed, ; most .of whom were trespassers, was less than for any year since 1910, but the: number injured was greater than for any other year except 1914 and 1913."

Railways Make Safety Record in 1915. "The greatest improvement in safety of railway operation ever recorded for a year is shown by the annual accident bulletin just issued by the Interstate Commerce Commission for the fiscal year 1915," says the Railway Age Gazette in an analysis of the commission's report. , "As a result of the combined effect of the safety first movement, of improvements in facilities of various kinds, and of the slump in railway traffic caused by the business depression, the accident record of the railways of the United States for 1915 is in most respects the best ever reported, even when allowance is made for the reduced chances for accident resulting from the decrease in traffic. It is necessary to go back several

years, to a time when railway mileage and traf

fic and the number of employes were all very.

; Spreading the Grip. To the handkerchief is attributed the spread of coughs, sneezes and grip. 1 A recent bulletin of the department of health of Chicago, says: So far as the handkerchief itself is concerned, the cotton bandanna and the hemstitched linen of milady are equally guilty. Pus' from the nose of culture and refinement is just as bad as that from the hobo and bum. The perfumed handkerchief simply disarms suspicion while it harbors in its folds ah epidemic of discomfort and death. The bandanna may be specially objectionable because one may not so easily see how dirty it is. But any handkerchief saturated with the secretion from a running nose is a menace when used over and over again, and' especially dangerous when it becomes dry and a source of contagious dust. The fellow with a bad cold usually blows the rag full and wipes it in and out of his pockets, soiling them and his hands and clothing with the same secretion. . T Why are these germ colds epidemic now? Simply because in warm weather, when windows and doors are so much of the time open to fresh air, the breezes well ventilate our houses and carry away bacteria in the draughts. People then live much more sanely out in the open. Good ventilation means fewer germs germs diluted. The cold season brings over-heated, indoor, closed; stuffy spaces with' over-crowding. When people congregate in closed air spaces they each contribute contamination of dust and dirt from feet and clothing and many of them contribute disease germs of which they are carriers, though seemingly well. In other words, the same thing that makes measles, chickenpox, mumps and similar contagions spread among children housed in fall and winter schools makes pneumonia, colds, influenza colds, pus germ colds and other infectious colds spread among people of all ages during the season of ill ventilation. Indoor, close association of people under bad air conditions and contamination from one human to another, through ignorance and carelessness, is difficult to overcome entirely.

Once upon a time a widow and two sons lived in a cottage near a woods known as the Black Forest. The oldest son, who was a big, strong fellow, was . called Avel. He could work very hard and very long, but with what he earned he was so selfish that he did little for his family. The other boy, whose name was Otto, was delicate, but he did all he could to help about the house and feed the chickens. Yet the big brother kept continually complaining about it. So one day Avel said he would not remain at home, but go where he could get better wages, and by night he had

gone off by himself. This left the mother and Otto to do what they could, and they managed to just keep body and soul together by the greatest care. One cold day Otto went into the forest and climbed up the mountain to get at some red berries to sell in the market. The tree from which he wanted to get the berries was a young one, and as he wished to reach them he bent it down until it almost snapped. "Oh, sir!" he heard a small voice say, "won't you please leave my home alone?" and he looked down to see a pretty wood dwarf peeping its head up from under the trunk of the tree. $ "Certainly," replied Otto. "I had no idea I was disturbing you. I just

thought' to get some berries to sell, for we are very poor." "If that is so," answered the dwarf.

"I can help you. Hold your basket un

der the knot in this tree while 1 say

some magic words and there will come

out a stream of gold coins. But when

the basket is almost full call to me to stop, for if a single coin rolls on the

ground all will vanish."

Otto held the basket under the knot on the tree, and the dwarf Bhut its eyes, waved its hands about in strange

figures and tapped the tree lightly,

sure enougn, out came rolling a

stream of shining bright coins that

sparkled gloriously in the afternoon sun. When the basket was almost full Otto called and the dwarf opened its eyes. The coins ceased to come and the tree closed up. So the boy thanked the kind dwarf and went home to show his mother his good

luck.

And very good luck It was, for they

bought a good farm, built a nice

house, gave help to their poor friends

and lived a comfortable life

Now, when Avel heard that his mother and younger brother were do

ing so well he went home to ask how

it happened. Otto told him about the

dwarf, the tree and the gold coins,

So Avel set out to the tree and began

at once to pull on it. The dwarf came out just as he had done before and

asked the boy to leave his home alone,

"I will do nothing of the kind," Avel

replied, "unless you give me a basket.

of coins." The dwarf told him to hold

the basket, but that he must remember to remind him to stop when it was al

most full, else it would bring bad luck.

Avel held the basket while the

dwarf did his magic trick, and the

gold began to roll out of the tree. But when the basket was almost full he did not tell. "I want all I can get," he laughed, "and I am not afraid of any bad luck: that dwarf just don't want me to get enough." So the basket got so full that two coins tumbled out on the ground. In an instant the whole basket and coins vanished and in their place was a big puddle of frogs, croaking. Avel ran home ashamed of his

greediness, which had brought on him such misfortune. He had nothing

now, and knew that he had refused to aid his brother when that brother was

poor. So he bung his head and

walked sadly past the door. "Come in," called Otto. But Avel kept on walking. Otto ran out and asked his brother to come and live With them. Avel saw that Otto had no resentment, so he decided to stay

at home and try to repay the kindness which he had received. On the pretty farm the family lived for many years happily. And none of them ever again bothered the good dwarf in the mountain, forest. Some times they would hear a shrill little laugh on a summer's eve, but they only smiled and said it was the dwarf having a good time watching them enjoy the blessings he had sent.

OH. KELLY ACDnESSES COLLEGE EXECUTIVES

. In bis discussion at the opening esion Thursday night in Chicago of the "Sphere and' Possibilities of the Association," President Kelly said: "It is not a standardising agency and has no present thought of setting up an Ideal college which . every American college ' should copy. The policy of the association is one of Inelualveness

and lnterhelpfaTnss.not of exeraatrenesa. It assume that excellence is not Inconsistent with variety. It It not an Implement of - defense. The colleges of America are .not frightened, bat the esasrlsMooj hopes le assist in the co-ordination of ewredueaUonal agencies. It la not an Implement of conquest.
