EDITORIAL
The lack of knowledge of
parliamentary law noticed among
State's students is to be regretted.
The tendency here is to become so
practical that whatever is not di
rectly connected with mathematics
or engines, dynamos, or mining
machinery is absolutely of no ac
count. Class presidents and exec
utives of other bodies are not en
tirely exempt from this charge.
Time and again breaches of the
simplest points have been com
mitted.
The knowledge of parliamentary
law may seem not worth the time
consumed, but in reality it is a
necessary adjunct to the education
of a college man, and he will later
find that he cannot well do without
it. There,is at present no class in
this work, but it would be for the
interest of those who are willing to
do a little extra work if a class might
be organized in some such way as
the section in after-dinner speaking
was begun.
