P o a t - (S r a in V» HEX oliI M. A. C. has a son or daughter that seems W I j to be too feeble to cope with this cold world at VI graduation time she sometimes persuades the weak one, or more, as may be, to stay another year and sit at the feet of her servants, absorbing, additionally, enough of the knowledge emanating from them to put the said weak children on a coping basis. That this procedure has sometimes saved valuable material to the world of learning there can be no doubt. Their Alina Mater consoles them with a master’s degree and all is well. They think they have done something and the college contemplates the success of the scheme with satisfaction. Many of these children never do get away from the halls of learning, but remain there the rest of their lives, teaching the young idea how to shoot, etc., in fact this is one of the ideas of the work. To be a successful teacher one must be on speaking terms with the fundamentals of his profession, and there is nothing that so thoroughly grounds one in these fundamentals as a year or two of research work. For instance, what could put a scholar on a more intimate footing with the science of bacteriology than rounding up a few germs, studying their habits, branding them with the college monogram, and then turning them loose on some poor defenseless guinea pig to wreak their malevolent will unhindered? Or the physicist may ruthlessly tear the electron from 2 tair QJourap the parent atom, stand him up against the wall, and question him till the last iota of knowledge concerning his private affairs is laid bare. The mathematician, too. may waste reams of paper and months of time proving that a doubly infinite number of real lines, which consist of nothing more tangible than the shortest distance between two points, may intersect in a doubly infinite number of successive imaginary points. The plant pathologist may pluck a handful of soil from Mother Earth, insert a few seeds to germinate and grow, and then deprive the young plants of the privilege of partaking of sufficient quantities of aqua, in order that he may enlarge his knowledge of the plant kingdom by estimating the number of hours, minutes, and seconds, that his plants will survive under such moderate conditions. There are others but they will not be enumerated here. To the lay mind this seems as so much useless intellectual “foolishness, but its connection with teaching embryo farmers the why and wherefore of making butter, the engineer the uses and effects of natural forces, and so on. is too plain and intimate to be readily perceived. Xo personal remarks conceiting the present incumbents of this department will be indulged in, but on the other hand, the public is left to draw its own conclusions as to their intellectuality and good charactei from the cabinet size illustrations adorning the page of this volume.
