ECONOMIC SEMINARY Those present first discussed current events as they were presented by Mr. Copeland. He first noted the Seaton binding twine factory bill recently passed in the legislature, and after some discussion as to its merits, the conclusion was reached that its advantages would be only temporary as there would be other twine factories started which would be in several years crying out as loudly against convict labor competing with free labor, as the coal miners and others are now complaining of it. Bills for brick and furniture factories have also been introduced but it was not considered probable that they will pass. The outrageously high price of provisions in the Klondike was mentioned. Attention was also called to the increasing number of trusts being formed, of which the latest are in iron and steel wire and brick. San Francisco's greatest increase in criminals next furnished a subject for discussion. Miss Perdue gave a review of an article "Impressions of American Universities," by an Englishman, Percy Gardner. Among other things, he said that the great desire for education in American gave rise to too many small institutions, and a consequently great difference in the standard of the degrees offered. In accordance with English ideas he strongly deprecated coeducation, Harvard, Yale and Princeton still attract the most ambitious. Their tendency is to raise the standard rather than increase the number of students. Johns Hopkins was the first pioneer. In graduate work and at the present time, out of 1526 students 375 are candidates for Ph. D. Yale has 729 graduate students out of 1783. Harvard has 288 and with their very large corps of teachers these can secure individual attention. Chicago claims as many as the others combined. Graduate work shows vitality of the spirit for education in America. But such work is necessary to secure positions in the best institutions. Next week Miss Perdue will complete her paper and Mr. Ed. Copely will review an article "Powers of Municipalities." The paper was not finished, discussion taking up the rest of the hour. Professor Blackmar told of the difficulty of securing a Ph.D. at John's Hopkins. Before being entitled to it one must have by original investigation, added something of the "sum of human knowledge."
