SELLING DIPLOMAS SHOULD BE CRIME Heavy Punishment Advocated For Fraud on Public Washington.

A confession has just been made in St. Louis by a man who tells of having Mdd more than a thousand high school certificates to people who needed them 1)0 fulfill the requirement of • alleged "coFcgcs;" which later sold them medi cal diplomas. The various State medical hoards and their examinations can be depended upon to eliminate the spurious and un qualified medical fraud, but if a man can sell high-school diplomas to one class of young people, he can to another.

If high schools graduate pupils honestly, those pupils are hpnest*y entitled to go for ward on thojr certificates. If such cer tified tAs Alii be "bought,’ tlie'iTllie totfegr l *?' of the country will soon refuse admit tance on a certificate. “Selling a school diploma is a fraud on the public, as bad as selling a gold brick or making counterfeit money.” said .one teacher. “The law should be made more drastic, and those who fat ten themselves at the expense of The education honest young people work so hard to obtain, should be drastically punished.” Trial of Gov.

WARNINGS GIVEN TO SEIZED MEN All of the Warnings Were Signed “Que, Que, Que,” and All of the Men Were Seized About Same Time (By the Associated Press.) Tampa, Fla., Nov. 1. —Unmasked men lasi night took at least three residenets of Tampa into the woods six miles from here, whipped them and left them wound ed and bleeding to find their way back to the city, according to reports made to Chief of Poliee^"Williams today. Leo' Isaacs, restaurant proprietcor, under the care of physicians as a result of the lash ing he got, told newspaper men four men seized him and carried him into an au tomobile and then took him to the woods about six miles from town, where they gave him a whipping. Isaacs said he lost considerable skin and his body was covered with welts and discolored.

MAY TRY COOPERATIVE EDUCATION SCHEME Work and Study Plan to Benefit De partment Clerks. Washington. Nov. 1 (Capital News Service). —The educational plan tried out by several schools and colleges in the Nation, by which students who must earn their way through college are enabled to do so while using that earn ing as a part of their education? may be tried in the Government departments in the Capital City. Where this plan obtains, two stu dents secure a position and work as a unit, one filling the position for a cer tain period, usually six weeks. while the other attends school. At the end of that period the students change places. Positions are secured for such studAits so that the work they do to earn their living has some bearing on the course they take thus, a young man studying an electrical engineering course, secures, with his partner, a position in u fac tory, one studying banking gets a clerical position, etc. A University in the Capital City is endeavoring to make such an arrange ment with the Government by which one clerkship could be filled by two students. The salary, of course, would t>e equally divided between the two, who would thus not only be enabled to earn their living, but would gain prac tical experience n the course of study they pursue. It is contended that no greater chance for the spread of such an edu cational idea exists than in Washington, where the United States Government offers all sorts of clerical, financial, and scientific experience, and where shops, laboratories, and desks in all lines of Activity afford a wide range of choice for students.
