The University of Notre Dame, it appears, has some features that can not be duplicated in any other school. It is one of the old, well-established colleges, with settled traditions reach ing back sixty-four years, with a dis tinguished staff of professors and ex cellent library and laboratory equip ment. Its discipline is of the paternal kind—strong without being oppres sive and as it embraces in its scope •,., the grammar school, high school and college work, its appeal is as broad as it is potent. Perhaps the most remark able feature of the famous Indiana University, however, is the fact that It has arrived at its present marvelous development absolutely without en dowment.

"I used to advertise for the Manhattan, and 1 .want to mak«! a deal." I McClenahan didn't stop there. He told him many things. And when he had finished, the president rose and tappdd McClenahan on the shoulder. I "By George, Mr. McClenahan!" he said, "the very thing, the very thing, by George!" I Two days later, all Belltown, and all New York, were electrified by a Food corporation advertisement that was spread thickly and liberally upon the sheets of dailies, upon the outsides of the weeklies, and over all the available stumps and posts and fences. It announced in substance, that for a period of two weeks before Christ mas, William McClenahan, proprietor of the White Store, and mayor of Bell town, would walk dally, in Belltown, to his train in the morning and from his train in the afternoon, clhd, as a sandwich man, between boards plas tered with the gaudy advertisements of Food, itself. The advertisement stated further that the mayor would receive for this service the sum of $25,000, be paid by Food into the coffers of the town of Belltown, a beautiful but bank rupt town. The whole thing was to be done in the interests of $elltown 0 for that town McClenahan was raising to like wild- fire.

"It Is to be regretted that these strictures upon our civil employes cannot be replied to at length and in detail, but permitting a general denial to suffice, allow me to call attention to this act: It was thought to be re markable because there are sa many applicants for government positions.

Thus, It is an acknowledged fact that where one railroad man is killed or dis charged there are 50 ready to step into his shoes. An advertisement for help in certain trades and businesses will bring hundreds of responses. "And as to the desirability of gov ernment clerical work as a life occu pation let me say that although men seek these positions, It is a calling which should be the very last for any young man to enter who has ambi is a good occupation to go into in the lower grades and to-work up to the higher on due course of promotion.

There is a little more liberality in the $1,600 grade, a shade more in the $1,400 grade, but the great bulk, the thousands and thousands* of clerks and employes are in the $900 and $1,000 grades, or \ower. "As compared with farm-hand laboi this is liberal pay, but in many of the trades and manual callings it is not. In ordinary course of promotion to the average clerk it takes many years to get up to the $1,200 grade, where he lingers for many years more, and often stops there for good, as the small number of places in the three next succeeding grades of necessity limits their filling. When the aver age clerk reaches the $1,400 grade the percentage of a promotion to the two very limited upper grades is in proportion to their number very small in proportion to the great high bank of the thousands of lower grades behind them.
