He said that B7 per cent of Harvard freshmen were deficient, according to the standards of the university itself, and 68 per cent of freshmen. He went on to mention a numbef of schools which had admitted 820 defectively prepared students out of a total of 2,438. Princeton, for!

Pritchett that it admitted 86 of 41 students who had never even studied the subjects required tor admission. The mania for numbers is stronger than ever, In the opinion of Dr. Pritchett.

He cast his fevered eyes upward and searched for a landmark outlined against the sky. It was all strange. After age-long hours of wandering he gave up, and hurled sobbing, childish curses at the stars.

Still others are obscured by clouds, so that the astronomer has to work and think faat when a favorable opportunity doea present Itself. At most he has only seven minutes on a given eclipse, and the, average 'esB than thcee minutes. The width of the strip of territory over which an eclipse may be total cannot exceed 17 miles, and lt la seldom wider than 140 miles.

Some parts of the earth are more favored with total eclipses than other parts. London never saw total eclipse In more than five hundred years together, While Venezuela saw two In three years. New York has not seen a single total eclipse in a century, while Yellowetone Park, had two in twelve years. Eclipse observations are less than a century old. In ancient times astronomers were not able to predict eclipses.

At Rome It was a crime to talk about tbelr being due to natural causes; they were believed to be without the order of -nature, and to presage some dire event. Even after astronomers learned the secret of eclipses the people at large refused to believe it. It is said that '1 hales was able to bring about the peace between the Medes and the Lydlans by predicting an eclipse, and that Columbus Impressed his heavenly descent on the Jamaicans by showing them that he could tell when an eclipse would occur. In Justice to him it Is to be said that he made such a claim in order to get food for his men. The reason that astronomera were so slow In learning how to predict eclipses and to explain them was that while they occurred with regularity they occurred at different places on the earth, tnue ef cern, and they insisted on placing themselves in a position to keep it closed.

Fallon sat up and stared about htm. A red blur clung about the eastern summits and the air waa chill. From a niche In a cliff to westward a blue splotch of smoke floated upward In the quiet air. Fallon stared at it, searching about In his dazed bra'n for its meaning.

President Wilson briefly enumerated the abuses in Industry, commerce and traffic which legislation haa vainly sought to correct and of the Incalculable, values and lack of values, given to securities In the stock market by 1 methods of financial manipulation long In vogue unchecked, almost unheeded; of the thousand and one ways in which what we thought to be the business Interests of the country have been pushed forward without regard to anything but the' profit of those Immediately concerned. Continuing Dr. Wilson said: The whole huge game, so far as Its success was substantial and lasting, was an honest man's game; no crooks nor blacklegs were wittingly admitted to it. Every man served his own particular Interest with extraordinary intensity and devotion and wltft success, and could have told you with frank and steady eyes that he had done that which was his duty to do.

But what unprofitable servants they were unprofitable- even to- themselves and to the business enterprises they served. The men who brought disaster upon business by success brought It because they saw only the Immediate task under thUr hands, volunteered no look around, paid no call of thought or wish upon their fellow men, left statesmanship to politicians and. public Interests to the censors of public morals; attended wholly tosthMr own business.

Wilson condemned the standardization labor by the labor unions which reduced men to machines and took the heart out of their relations in their employers.
