Speaking of good management of college organizations, we should say a word in praise of the co-operative training table system. It has now been under way long enough to give us a very clear idea of what we may expect of it. The system seems to be succeeding admirably.

Neither of these two plans may seem adequate, but they are the best which, with the college's present resources, the faculty can find, and it is almost certain that the faculty will adopt one of them for next year.
