Saved from Death'
Kenneth IW. 'Triest . e, ,as ed IFromI
Pr son by Action of Ipso;ose. 0l
and State D)epart ientci
For months entonmbed in an English
prison, not knowing whether he
would be executed as a' spyl
on the morrow, quizzed by stern of-
ficials, finally released by the activity
of the state department and Col. Theo-
dore Roosevelt, has been the experi-
ence of Kenneth W. Triest, a young
Princeton student,
Triest left Princeton and his studies
about a year ago to Join the Bri tish:
army. He wen rt to Canada and ealise
on a Dritishi transport. Then h rota
some kind of a suspicious letter whl~ih
got in the hands of the censors, and
soon young Triest found himself in
prison as a spy.
Colonel Roosevelt and the state dle-
partment interceded on behalf of the
youth on the ground that he was
mentally unbalanced and they finzally
were able to save hinm from almost
certain death, the British governmrent
allowing him to go free ou condition
that his father take him back to
America.

TYPEWRITING AND

MICROSCOPIC SCH-OLARSHIP
Aggrieved utterances prevalent
aniong; the members of thlo fresh law
class, concerning mrid-semester blue-
books which have been suddenly
thrust upon thenm, point out one de-
feet in the accepted practice of edu-
cation. We mean that theory which
one man on the campus has charac-
terized as microscop~ic scholarship.
It is an educational maxim that the
man who crams for a final never
really learns anything. One stage
advanced from him is the man who
reviews for the final. True'he is bet-
ter off than the crammer, but he is
almost as far removed from the ideal.
Take for example the law courses
which are typical of those presenting
a subject as disconnected units. Here
a man may conscientiously get out
his daily program of work, yet there
ieigng o leturus to act as connect-
ing links, ho is little better off at the
end of the terrm than his lazier class-
mate who has been content to absorb
what l -owledge lie could from class
room discussions. In other words
this sort of student has been confin-
inn his efforts to unrelated details.
This is the first step ins the mastery
of a subject, but it is by no means
the place to leave off. The solution,
lacking an intelligent lecture system,
is a constant reviewing which classi-
fies and correlates the whole. One
big review at the end of the semester
will suffice to pass the examination,
but the student content with this has
only a slightly firmer grasp on his
subject than his seatmate who crams
the whole thing. This microscopic
treatmnent deludes imany, and means
ruin in a suddenly imposed examina-
tion.

WESTERMAN TRYS OUT SYSTEX
Divides Boxing Season Into Three
Different Terms.
Mr. 0. S. Westerman, instructor of
boxing and wrestling at the Water-
man gymnasium, is trying out a new
system for giving private lessons in
boxing this season. He has divided
the year into three terms, one extend-
ing from the opening of the first se-
mester until the Christmas holiday -.
one from January until the spring hol-
idays, and the third fronm April 17
until June-. So far the plan has met
with great . success, and he is
ini hopes that the other two terms
will be equally productive of as large
classes as the present one.
Little is heard of boxing by any one
not doing -work at the gymnasium.
Mr. Westerman has been keeping
steadily at the work of training his
pupils in the art of self defense. He
has brought them slowly to their
present form, and has been careful
that no one should mix it up with
some man inferior to himself in ability
and thus furnish the campus with a
black eye or two to comment upon..
With this plan of training there is
practically no danger of any mian git-
ting hurt during his course of i'nstruc-
tion, and there is little possibility of
boxing coming into disfavor with the
faculty or with the parents of those
taking the course.
