Tli Chester police muddle wui cleared
up considerably today when City Coun
cil ratified tli appointment of Captain
.Tames Daxenport. of the mounted squad.
Mayor McDowells nominee, as chief of
police.
After Council confirmed his appoint
ment tho Mnyor announced that tin
Installation of Captain Daxenpoit as
chief of police meant Hint the police
would be freed from political control,
nnd that he. Major McDowell, had de
feated the efforts of the Met Mure ritiK
to regain control of the cll.
The Mayor's victory was made po
slble by the "flopplnc" of Joseph II.
lesslck. leader of the McClure fuel Ion
In Council. He announced jesterdny
that he Intended to support the appoint
ment of Captain Daenport. His vote
was the only one needed to Rle the
Mayor 'and his supporters control of
the City Council nnd tho sensational
announcement caused much speculation.
It Is Kenernlly believed that governor
Sproul stepped In to add b.s Influence
toward the victory
Tho fl)?ht between ihe Mnyor and
tho McClure faction in Council became '
acute nftcr the meeting of Council last
Monday. At that meeting the Mayor
offered tho name of Captain fid ward
Brautlgan, mllltarj Instructor at the

were many sons of wealthy men who

who avrilled themselves of the oppor

When It became known that

to comer university ucgreea iiiero mm i
laborers who wcro too poor to
were
the management that the nlan n
excellent one, hut that the means were
lacking to finance so large nn under
taking. Tho city had not then opened
any evening public schools, and It re.
lUlred the experience of tho Temple
College to persuade the consrvntlo
city administration of the necessity of
such Fehools.
The Temple nc.ideinles were opened
as evening schools In different parts
of the cltj to act ns feelers for
the college, mill any person of any
grade was received. I'roin the start
they Were successful in fe.ichlng
the people. The tuition was very
low. and the cour.-es of study
carefully graded flood teachers came
forward and labored faithfully at
small compensation Hut the crowds
of eager students front the factories
and stores clogged the way with ntiin
berM which could uot he cired for.
The tent of halls, the books, appa-
the opening
of the city evening schools. It left
Temple College with n most danger
ous debt. Some enthusiastic friends
gave all their properly to ennhle the
college to honorably diaw out of tho
neademles mid nay all hills. It was
one of those periods of sacrlflco nnd
strain which eeni to Unit their place
In nil new 'enterprises for the good of
mankind. At one time the weak In
stitution was teaching n er 000
pupils.
Curriculum Changed
That experience led to a decided re
action and wrought n. great change In
the curriculum. It was seen that the
number of students must bo limited
by the elimination of the lower grades
which the public schools might sup
ply. The need which no other Insti
tution could supply was seen to bo
among tho .clerks, operatives and day
tlntm nt school nftcr reaching the
entrance to tin high school. To all
such it college education was denied.
They could not get nway front work
or pay the expenses of university
courses'. To them we must go with
a helping hand. Thousands of for
eigners were coming to the city to
whom Jt was u patriotic Christian
duty to go with American education.
Unless those classes could be educat
ed further the wealthy classes alone
would form an educational aristocracy
dangerous to our American
racj. Seeing that special
tho open door, the trustees
countries wns nj amusing as It was
ridiculous. Soon after the State nu
con- thorlzcd tho University to confer the
usual college nnd university degrees, n
celebrated American author recom
mended a well-known Kngllsh preach
er as a suitable candidate for the
degree of doctor of divinity. The
trustees and faculty of tho university
were vcrj' conservative In such mut
ters nnd hesitated to assume that
such an honor would he acceptable
a rush of candidates for tho honors
from almost every country on earth.
I'asrors of village churches, school
teachers, uneducated doctors. Ignorant
men of wealth, politicians, authors and
professors 'eagerly sought distinction,
and' In some cases offering "to send
check on presentation of tho bill." In
