Seattle, May C—Johu T. Condon,
dean of the University of Washing

with the movement fostered by the
American Association of Law
Schools to do away with law school
work. "I believe that the night law
school should be maintained to give
the poor man, who cannot give up
his job, a chance to take up the
'study of law," said Mr. Condon re
[ cent iy.
"I do, however, thoroughly agree
! A ith the association, tl.at a high
standard should bo maintained in
; both night and day law school work
. If the night law school has the
same standard as 'he day !nw school
Itiiere can be no objection to it. In
■ his schcol we have the same teach
j crs and our standards have beeu in
| advance of the standards of the
association for several years'"
