It is undoubtedly advis able that the young man preparing) for admission to the bar should se cure all the college training possible, as well as the best legal education possible. Wherever opportunity offers the prospective lawyer should be glad and willing to comply with the sug gestions of The American Bar Asso- ar go ch ar dc yc dr m lo wl sn i at iar CiatlOQ Wiat ueiwre uuc tan uv ????..\la ted to the bar he must have two | is years of college training and be a graduate of a three year law school, j : yo We have known a great many law-1 '! yers who practiced law without ever na having been students in either a col-;co lege or a law school. Some of these j de were good lawyers. Many of them w , , lie were. Most of them we think ,. , tie would have been much better lawyers er had they been able to secure a col-! lege education and then perhaps til trai*ing at a good law school. jth But while this is true, it is never- j - , . * tneiess aiso xxue inav some 01 tnese . . :te mea would never have been lawyers ca at alt had the requirements been that j co the candidate for admission to the.th bar must have a college education!**1 and then a law school education. Such requirements in the future will i th make it impossible for a great many j ? young men to practice law who might J f Q otherwise become great lawyers. j to And it must be remembered that fe not every educated man attends a I 1 pi college. As advisable as it is to secure college training and it is not indispensable that this be done be fore a man may be an educated manr re i And while it is desirable that as many candidates for admission to the bar J - - v . . . ! re i-bi as possible attend law schools, it is not at all necessary that this be done in order to secure a good legal edu-! c\ cation. r A??i it Must >be remembered too that becoming harder and hard er eacli year for young men and eo of ! ti< j T1 , tr women to secure college training. ( eT The tuition, board and other charges in the better institutions of co the, country are so high that it isj'^1 only tfe most fortunate who can at tend these institutions. When it is considered that it will cost from five thousand dollars to seven or eight thousand dollars to secure two years training in a first class col lege and then three years training WVa/\1 if VtfwiA* vuvvurco uviucui that the doors are closed to many 'ambitious and promising young jth men. liei We do not give much considera-! ev tion to the claim that the ethical ; be standards of lawyers who graduate from law schools are higher than those who do not attend these law schools. Our experience Is that good lawyers and bad lawyers alike come from the colleges and law schools, and are to be found amongst those i who have not attended law schools !th or colleges. jar We might say in passing that'di those colleges and law schools bt which expect to come nearer per-|<.;i forming their full obligations to the to public should take counsel as to he how the expenses of students at- m tending them may be so reduced as' to afford opportunity to more and more young men of the country, le; Unless this is done some of these in-1 m stations will stand convicted at' bt th? bfcr of public opinion of a se bffeaSk ?f trust. fe FROM SEPTUS (In Anderson Tribune) Say, Mr. Farmer, did you link the day would come when ii sr to pet a 1 ttle fertilizer or edit with which to make a crop m would have to answer a <\ marry as long as your arm lis lot the business world knov )0iit your private business affa .1 in addition to this also giv< 11 of sale on so much cotton w nothing less than, than an v-l p If in?i ust a wolf in shf Gthir.j? to fool us, that's all. / Ye.-, you must tell them whe not you own your land, if si uch you owe on it and who you to.
