Thorough Inspection of all boarding and rooming houses occupied, by . university students, to - be carried on as a regular part of the work of the faculty committee on hygiene, was authorised by th regents, with sufficient appropriation. Since there 1 no domltory system at present, aside from the small provision for women at Chadboume hall and that for men at the univedslty Toung Men's Christian associa tion building, tha majority of the students live in private rooming houses off the campus, where there has hitherto been no faculty supervision of conditions.

For years the Knox Glee club has bren known as one of the finest organisation of the kind in America, rivaling the big eastern clubs In the excellence of its pro grama Unusual class has been shown this year In th work up to date, and the club which will go out Christmas 1 ex pected to be the best that has ever repre sented Knox.

It has been asserted that the eastern uni versities are losing ground in the states outside of their own division (that Is the north Atlantic), owing to the increasing competition of the leading state universi ties of the middle went, say th New Tork P-n, but, as a matter of fact, the total registration of Columbia, Cornell, Harvard, Pennsylvania, Princeton and Yale for the year 1909 In divisions outside of the north Atlantle and In foreign countries shows a gain of 146 over the preceding year, and of 07 students over li06. v This Increase would be much larger were It not for th advantage offered In Insti tutions like Illinois, Michigan and Wiscon sin. These are the only state universities that draw over 20 per cent of their student body-from other states than their own, and they can lay claim, therefore, to having become national Institutions. Michigan to day draws student from every state of the union but one (Delaware). Including 391 from New York state, 148 from Pennsyl vania and sixty-nine from foreign coun tries, attracting 620 students from the north Atlantic division, or 17 more than In 1W6. It must not be forgotten, however, that many of the students registered at the vari ous state universities would not go to col lege at all If It were not for the advantage Just mentioned. With many of them, says the American College, It Is a question of the state university or none at all and not of selection between the state Institution and a representative astern university, and a fair percentage of these very stu dents are apt to turn up later on In the professional or graduate school of so east ern Institution, having earned money enough through teaching or In other ways after graduation from the state university. Edacatloaal Note. The McKeesport schoolma'am has be come so attractive and her wedding so likely that Superintendent of Schools J. B. Rltchey has asked the school boards of the city that applicants for teachers' berths In the city be asked to give bond that they will finish the term for which they ar en gaged instead of marrying. Statistics at Wellesley college this year show a larger percentage of the attendants coming from the middle west, and even from the states beyond the Rockies. Fif teen years ago the percentage of students from the New England states was mora than 60, and this year It is only 42 per cent of the whole. Fifty years a pedarogue that Is the rec ord of Orvllle T. Bright, superintendent of District No. 8 of the Chicago public school system. The activities of any one man In one profession seldom span such a gap be tween the past and the future, but Mr. Bright still Is in the service and there is nothing to tndlcata that he will not be In the harness for many years to come. The 101 courses of study which go to make up the curriculum of the Chicago publlo high and elementary schools are calculated to overwork students snd at'th same time do not Jy them the sort of education that is 'moel' desirable. This is the opinion of Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, superintendent of schools, and her assist ants, and as a result 'a numbnr f radical changes In th course of stulT ar under consideration. . ... . ...

The government statistics on the pro ductiveness of th soil are quite interest Ing. For instance, during the last year this state 'grew 10,000,000 mora bushels than In 1908, tha figures being 1. 116, 800 bushels, which is a much larger Increase than any other state Thera la only one reason for this, th soil Is Immensely productive. Originally, age and age ago, this wa a body of water. River course changed, and the ages worked their wonders. Today It is an alluvial de posit of decayed vegetation from sixteen Inches to four feet In depth, rspable of raising anything that any land will produce. At th Corn exposition exhibit ef th Meadow company i shown product of their land in th way of sweet potato, pumpkins, tangerines, manderlns, grape fruit, , kumquat, potatoes, sugar and all sorts of grasses.
