ADMISSION TO THE BAR.
o\
The Press and Banner would not ^
deprecate the value of training for
the bar, nor for any other profession
or calling. 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

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
- , . *

: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.

that becoming harder and hard

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

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

/The Washington co*fere??e

"China must disband her rival
armies or reduce her troops and
bring her irresponsible chieftains
together in harmony before a true
start on'the 'new China' will be
(made. Separate armies dominating
and interfering with the feenUfcJ
government are proving the biggest
stumbling block to China.
"China is suffering also from in
adequat. public revenues. The na

creditors are crying for money. Ad
ditional revenue are needed, but I
see no reason why the raising of
adequate funds throughout a good
system of taxation could not be ac
complished."
