Yale.

The catalogue of Yale University for the
acadep,ical year 1S94-95, exhibits crafty
ing proofs of prosperity and progress. The
whole number Of students is 2, $50, of whom
1,160 are credited to the academical depart
ment, or college proper OF instructors, not
including the President, there are eos, and
three professorships are for the moment
vacant. The question of paramount inter
est, which is answered by this catalogue,
relates to the educational value of the de-
grees conferred by this distinguished uni
versity. 1t will be found that the utmost
pains are taken to assure the proper signifi-
cance to the degrees of bachelor of arts and
doctor Of divinity; but that something re-
mains to be done in the matter of raising
the requirements for the degrees of bachelor
Of laws and doctor of medicine.
young man may enter Yale University
without possessing or intending to acquire
any knowledge OF the Greek language; but
he cannot obtain on false pretences the de-
gree of bachelor of arts. He must join the
Sheffield Scientific School, which will give
him the degree of bachelor Of philosophy, or
that Of civil or mechanical engineer. For
admission to this department he needs no
Greek, and only moderate amount Of
Latin, nor is any subsequent study OF the
last-named language required. Calculated,
on the other hand, to promote liberal edu-
cation In the traditional and current sense
OF the term are the conditions of ad.
mission to the freshman class of the
college proper, and to the courses of
study leading to the A. b. degree.
IL will be seen that the amount of
Greek which applicants must offer is
about the same as that prescribed at
Princeton and Cornell, but that the require
ments in respect Of Latin are somewhat
larger Thus, as regards the latter Ian
guage, candidate for the freshman class
must be conversant with the grammar, in

The Wheat Crops Of 1901 to 1904,
and the Wheat Still Available.

The merchant who exaggerates the avail
able supply Of the commodity he offers for
sale, stands good chance of becoming bank
rupt. Yet such is the proceeding Of the
greater part Of those engaged in the grain
trade. Not only that, it is the policy of
most commercial writers; they never cease
assuring the foreign consumer that there is
no end to the American supply Of wheat,
and that no reliance can be placed upon the
official estimate Of any crop.
The effect Of these exaggerations is to de-
press prices, to prevent purchases for in
vestment, to force liquidating sales, to
cause the foreign customer to believe that
purchases may be safely deferred until
prices fall still more, to reduce both the
farmers revenue and his power to buy
fabrics, and, by lessening the price of the
grain exported, to increase shipments of
specie, thus disturbing commercial rela-
tions. These are but a part of the conse-
quences resulting from exaggerations of re-
sources no matter by what motives the ex-
aggerations are impelled.
1t has become the fashion to enlarge all
crop estimates greatly, and the ablest writer
is the one who can outdo his fellows in that
direction. Doubtless some justification for
discrediting official estimates is found in
the blunders made by Government statis-
ticians in dealing with the wheat product
Of 1891 and 1899. Whether such blunders
were due to the universal tendency to under
estimate large yields and overestimate
small yields, or to the incompetency of those
then employed, they continue to give sup
port to alleg gations Of inaccuracy in all of
yhaaf 80 tho
ment Of Agriculture.
While much of the statistical work of the
department has been defective and open to
criticism, yet, with the exception of its
estimates of the wheat product of 1891 and
1899, the results attained in crop reporting
have been quite satisfactory.
A multitude of private and commercial
estimates Of the greht crops of 1891 and
1892 have been made, varying from l5O,-
100000 to 100000, 900 bushels in excess
of the official estimates. The mean of these
unofficial estimates probably approximates
closely to the quantity grown. 1t Is the
misleading official utterances in relation to
those remarkable crops that have so discred-
tied official findings, just as the immense
volume of the crops is chargeable with the
greater part of the depression in price since
they were harvested.
Assuming that at the close of the 1s9o-91
harvest year there were in farm granarles,
mills and other private stocks an aggregate
of 10000, 900 bushels of wheat, and that
the crops of 1891 and 1899 produced 7OO-
OOO, 900 and 500, 600, 900 bushels respec-
lively, and crediting the harvests OF 1898
and 1894 with the quantities officially es-
timated TO have been grown, the account,
stated in bushels, would have stood thus on
Dec. 81, 1894:
The sun., 1895-01-21

That stocks other than the visible" do
not exceed 30 per cent. of the quantity har-
vested in 1894, as shown in the official esti-
mate OF 46O, ,OOO, 900 bushels, appears alto
gether probable. The best authorities in
the Northwest concur in the opinion that
80 per cent OF the spring wheat had left the
growers hands before the close Of 1884, and
the mill and farm stocks in the winter
wheat regions are clearly less than in any
January in the last twelve years. This ex-
ceptionally early depletion of farm stocks is
due TO a moderate harvest and an unusual
consumption OF wheat in feeding operations
Had the harvest, supplemented as il was by
much old wheat In farmers hands given
