Dr. Burton believes such an in stitution could raise the Job of of fice-holding to the level of a pro fession. "Universities hnrdly could furnish training for political life in the sense of selfish office-seeking,” ho soys. "But for political life in the sense of a profession—nnd It be made a high und honorable one—they can <4o much. "The need of high-minded, intel ligent politicians Is ns urgent as the need of ministers, physicians and lawyers whose work it based on high standards. "A department of school that could contribute to the supplying of this need Is n part of the proper function of a university.

He was born in Qranvllle, is the author of many bookstand never speaks on any subject unless he has thought it over well He says that political questions fall Into ai least two categories; Those involving what may be termed the “meehanigm of politics,' 1 and those Involving “polllical prin ciples." "Obviously," he says, "universi ties have both an Interest and a duly In relation to the latter. "Besides the Influence a univer sity can exert through the personal interest in clcitions taken by mem bers of ft university body, there is a broader service,” he explains. “That Is the service of encourag ing painstaking and falrminded in vestigations of the many questions which arise In political life. Sur veys of political questions can ba undertaken —and often are—with the same impartiality of point of view find the same use of scientific methods which characterise study of social sciencas.

CONTROL OF HUMAN FORM AND SEX IS SCIENTIST’S FORECAST NEW YORK. —Control of the physical form, temperament and sex of human beings by chemistry was forecast by Dr. Edwin E. Hlos son, editor of Science Service, Washington, nt the Sigma Xi din ner here Monday night. He supported his statements by citing such chemical achievements as earning a fish to grow one eye in the middle of the head by the addition of magnesium chloride to the water in whieh the fish lives. Dr. Slosson said in part: ''lt is already apparent that the forms of all creatures from the mic robe to man are determined by cer tain chemical compounds in ex tremely minute amount. This may put It in the power of the chemist to control the size and shape of plants or animals, to fix the num ber and location of their branches and leaves, or legs and eyes, to modify color or complexion nnd to determine or alter sex. The factors of heredity and the origin of species, when you get down to bed rock, are chemical problems.” CHILD INJURED Little Josephine McDonald Hit By Street Car Here Little Josephine McDonald, five year-old daughter of Mr- and Mr*.
