Free Universities for Scotland.

The Times f\jt:-It is Impossible n o welcome with admiration and gradtad the offer of Mr. Andrew Carnegie toeatab llsh a trust administering fund of som two millions sterling with the object o providing free education afe the fou Universities of Scotland for poor student* who are unable to p»y the coat of their academic training. It i 8 well known that not very long ago in Scotland some of the very beet young men who studied aiths Universities wire able to do fo because during the summer, when the Uaiversity work was suspended, they earnei their own living by labour In the fields or on the Bea. To a large extent this hab become impossible now, owing to a change fn social conditions, as well as to the increas ed stringency of University regulation?. Tfc is hardly within the lines of praotical lif. In modern times, fora stoat hearted young Scotsman to earn his living by har' vesting or herring fishing during the summer monhs, and in the winter to devote himself to th« humanities or to professional studies. But the great problem of the higher education in Scot' land Is only the more complicated by this transformation, such as we experienced herein earlier daya, in the conditions of Scottish sreiety. The Universitiei of Scotland which have done so much to place a small and poor nation on. a level, in the ppbere of education, with wealthier and more populous countries, are no longer in a positien to assert I heir equality with their rivals, of which the younger sre running the older hard. From this p itit ' f vitw M> Carnegie's tnuuificent gift is % veiy wecimeone- The truM; which Mr Carnegio proposes to establish may pay the fees of students who require such assistance and who apply for it; and, so far, It would be very beneficial. But, splendid as the promised gift may appear, it ought not to be allowed to pauperise the whole system of Univeraiiy edoca lon in Scotland where a sturdy spirit of Independence has bern among the moral and Intellectual characteristics of the nation.

Every-Day Facts.

ASHBURTON PRODUCES ITS SHARE—THIS COMES FROM TREVORTON.

What makes anything a fact Is'nt it a statement or occurrence which can be proven true or correct in every par* ticulat? What constitutes conclusive evidence to the mind of an Ashburton citizen? It is the statement of some one residing in Auckland or' Welling ton? We think not, butwhenoneof onr own citizens makes a statement like the following, which Is endorsed by many, under these circumstances we cali them facts and they are r very-day facts because they are occurring every dny; Don't take our word for what ia said ; if you are not sati*fied ask them, People don'c make such assertions without good reasons.

Mr T Pritchard, senr., Suffolk Street* Trevorton, this town, says:—"Those who suflPer with paina in the back should use Doan's Backache Kidney Pills, I used this remedy for this trouble; the doctor told me i$ was lum bago. It was right in the small of my back and was most obstinate to deal wicbi As a matter of fact the only medicine 1 ever got that was at all efficacious was Doan's Baciache Kid ney pills which I obtained at the Ash burton Drug 00, ia last Street. These always stop* the p»ins, I take thf m just as I feel I need th^m, and they hava never failed.*'

fcucsess has brought up mmy imi tations of Doan's Pillg, but there ia nothing 'just as good' as the remedy which helped Mr Pritchard, therefore be sure you get Doan's Backache Kid ney Pills
