Washington. 2.—Prof. Arthur MncDd'nald,' scholar,' bachelor of arts, formerly professor at Johns Hopkins, and student of fheoligy, complains that | the government service in Washington is no place for a pAson of real lenrn i >ng. He lias tested tsat out, and decided that a man with mediocre education is I better ofP here than one with all tlie : finishing touches that travel and study abroad can give an American college graduate. | “My general life work is the scientific [ sndy of he human being, normal and abnormal, especially from the educational i point of (view, which is to show how best j lot develop desirable characteristics and suppress undesirable ones in every indi ! vidual: that is normal education," said j Prof. MacDonald today. I “1 studied theology four years and i graduated. Not being satisfied I took up philosophy and psychology for two years and was subsequently appointed 'fellow in phyeholog.v' at Johns Hopkins University. But 1 still was not satis fied, so went to Europe to study medi 4-fnc "ffir scientific masses (font years) bilt with no idea «f practising. This furnished training so necessary in the study of a human being.’’ Drops to SI,OOO a Year. Prof. MacDonald adds that he was •’docent" in applied ethics at Clark Uni versity, Worcester, Mass., and then tells how he fell from his high pinnacle by coining to Washington, where he is now employed at SI,OOO n year. "After ten years of post-graduate study and two years at Clark University I was invited by the commissioner of education to come to Washington ami develop my work," said he. “On iny way down to Washington 1 stopped off at Baltimore to see some of my friends in the faculty of Johns Hop kins University, aiul they told me I p would not tint in here. "•Why,’ they declared, ‘they don't want a man like you down there—one who will push his work, give his life to it and devote all of his life to develop. You will annoy them.’ "These Johns Houkins professors knew Washington. What they said is gen erally true. It is generally admitted three-fourths of the chiefs of divisions or heads of bureaus were never fully equipped for their jobs before they look them. They are faithful and work up to routine, but of course they can not develop their work much if at all. They naturally are oposed to a thoroughly equipped man entering their division or bureau; all sorts of excuses are given, j and thus new blood is blocked.” NEWSPAPER MEN WIN THEIR FIRST SKIRMISH Judge Sustained Demurrers of Man In dicted for Publishing Facts Concern ing Income Taxes.

Fine Deer Killed In the Corporate Limits of Spencer. Spencer, Dee. I.—-A real honest to goodness deer was captured and killed in the corporate limits of Spencer near the passenger station Saturday afternoon by Russell Robinson,, Hugh Allen and Thurman Lloyd, high sehool boys, who happened to be playing near where the deer came along. It was a tine specimen, weighing about 200 pounds and with a fine set of antlers. The buck came to town with airplane speed and in its ex citement at so much civilization dashed inter'a heavy wire fence breaking its neck. Unmindful of the great danger of approaching a wounded deer the boys pounced upon the kicking animal and soon had it under control. Engineer Wiley Wright, an old deer hunter and near Whose home the animal was cap tured. appeared on the scene and “stuck" the deer in a manner to assure choice venison. Another deer was killed near Spencer sometime ago but it is not thought this one was a mate, though il it is not known where it came from or how long it had been in the vicinity of Spencer. Ancient Egyptian noblemen speared fish in much the same manner as do Am ericans today. The Egyptian lord would sit in his boat while his wife or son pad died him about over tlie fish.
