Advocates Examinations for All Public Officials Work and Price always right 1107 Mass A Few High School Students Modern conditions favor the man who goes into such pursuits with all the preparation that the best university course can give him. Emporia, Feb. 11.—A civil service examination for all public officials, from the president of the United States down, was advocated by Prof. F. W. Blackmar of the University of Kansas in an address today before the industrial congress at the inaugural ceremonies for President Butcher, the newly chosen head of the state normal college. The University of Kansas offers courses in banking and law that have direct value, and others that have vital though indirect bearing, on a career in these lines of business. "I hope the time will come," declared Professor Blackmar, when we shall have an efficient and practical civil-service law regulating all of our offices, state, county, and national. Every man who takes up the responsible position of public health ought to have had scientific preparation for it, so when a man has to himself be an efficient public official he should not be turned out of office just because somebody else of some other party wants it. are so fortunate as to have an introduction through family or friends,to a good opening "A man proposes to be mayor of a city, and handle hundreds of thousands of dollars and couud the welfare of the people without ever having given the preparation for his life work a solemn thought. A man runs for the legislature who knows nothing of the artistry or science of legends and is poorly informed on most all subjects that may come before him. A man runs for governor without any understanding of the population with which he is dealing or of the institutions of the state. A man enters the penthouse of the state. A warden who has been inside of a pententiary before, and knows no about the management of the class of whom he is to deal. "Look at the officials who enter office entirely unprepared for the service of the community, when everybody knows, who has thought of it at all, that the essence of public office holding is public service, and that it involves a sacrifice for humanity. Hence, government goes in merely as a perfunctory officerhead, not to make any reform, but messenger, is a stumblingblock in the way of all reforms that come in contact with his office. IN BANKING OR FINANCE. deal. Under such conditions progress is impossible, and maladjustment of society usually takes place. It matters not how good the laws may be, if the man behind the laws breaks down its effect is worthless." "The whole idea of modern reform is 'back to the people', and 'let the people rule', but until the people are willing to engage in the active management of government, the active public affairs, the responsibility forced upon them and the powers returned to them will yield no return in social betterment." The sociologist declared that the same training should apply also to the people who are governing them-selves in this country.

M. J. SKOFSTAD 829 MASS. ST. SCIENTIST SAYS LIFE IS OLD AS UNIVERSE Professor Brancan, famous paleontologist, of Berlin, has advanced what he terms the new theory of the origin of life. He does not accept the theory of spontaneous generation as a scientific solution, nor the Biblical explanation which accounts for his theory. His theory is that life is as old as the lifeless matter of which the stars and planets are composed. Life, he holds, has been "vaccinated" into the earth by life germs from other planets through meteorites. Late winter clean-up of Spalding's exclusive jerseys and sweaters.—Adv. University of Virginia has recently completed a new athletic stadium, at a cost of $23,000 and seating 7,500 and will be called Lambert Field. The scientist maintains that this hypothesis is strongly supported by the indications of the existence of life in all the planets. He says: "Life is as old as the universe in which we live. In seeking any hypothesis which needs to solve the problem of how old it is, we run against questions, problems and mysteries about which we may dream, but which we can never solve."
