IN HONOR OF THE NEGLECTED
Memorial Shaft, Unique in Design,
Erected at Liverpool, England,
to Unsung Heroes.
At the Princess pierhead in Liver
pool a granite monument has been
erected in memory of the valiant
deeds of the engine-room heroes of
the British navy, according to Popu
lar Mechanics Magazine. In addi
tion to the interest the memorial at
tracts as a work of art, it is notable*
for two things: it is one of the very
few shafts that have ever been raised
anywhere in honoj of the many
courageous seagoing engineers, me
chanics and coworkers who have
stuck to their posts in the face of
death and performed their duties
withrself-sacrificing patriotism equal
to that of any soldier or sailor. The
other noteworthy point is that the
memorial is the only important
English work of its type that has
ever been executed solely in granite.
It is 48 feet in height and consists
of an obelisk surmounting a heavy
base, on two sides of which are sculp
tured groups representing the differ
ent divisions in the personnel of an
engine-room staff. The other two
sides of the rectangular support
carry inscriptions. At the corners
of the top part of the base are four
figures symbolical of earth, air, fire
and water. Behind these figures and
sapposedly supported by them is a
sea-circumscribed globe, on each
side of the back of which a flaming
sun is visible. A group of lightly
draped feminine figures, holding
wreaths, crown the shaft, which at
the apex is surrounded by a fiery
torch.
ONE MORE OF LAW'S TOLLS
Part That Yale University Is Proud of,
That of Training Men for the
Legal Profession.
i ale university reports that one
fifth of its living graduates are prac
ticing law, and the one-fourth of its
present students are preparing to
practice it, says the San Francisco
Bulletin. The three professions of
education, medicine and the minis
try, concerning whose usefulness
there is more general agreement, can
together reckon only a few more stu
dents than those who are taking lav
Law is barely outdistanced by manu
facturing, engineering and finance—
occupations in which sons of rich
men are likely to engage, or in which
usefulness is likely to receive a more
than generous financial recognition.
It holds tills, place because our laws
are so complex that it takes highly
trained, very ingenious experts to
guess what they mean. Yale univer
sity devotes 23 or 24 per cent of its
enormously expensive plant to train
ing men whose efforts will mostly
cancel one another, with an occa
sional gain to abstract justice, but
with a prevailing inefficiency, so
cially considered, that is absolutely
appalling.
