NIT himself in favor of such an ALI

Davis in Paris between the United
States, England and Japan.
THE international alliance question
is a great one" he added, land is aS-
sorbing the attention of every natiSn
on earth. / cannot say whether | am
in favor Of such an alliance as Is sug-
gested by Mr.. Davis"
The minister spoke of the vast nd

the various countries in some form 0r
other. 1t would make little difference
IN just what form they might be made.
The interests of England, Japan ard
the United States are almost Identical,
and the understanding between thcga,
the minister thought, might prove vt
great benefit TO all.

There are now 161 high schools on
the accredited list of the University
of Illinois. A large number OF these
are to be re-examined this year, and
the high school visitor is crowded
with work as never before. Schools
are being accredited for whatever work
is we'll done. There has thus been
added the work OF considering the
claims OF high school graduates to adj
vanced standing. There are many
high schools In the state that do more
work than that required for admis-
sion to the university, and the univer-
sity is anxious to recognize that fact
and to encourage as much as possible
such advanced ", ( in the high
schools. The university is careful also
not TO constrain small high schools
to undertake more than can be we'll ac-
complished. and hence would prefer to
accredit a small high school with !sss
than the amount required for admis-
sion to the university than with the
full amount less thoroughly done.
While stimulating every high school
to do all that II ought to do. the uni
iversity at the Same time desires that
the high school shall work ont It's own
problem spontaneously. rather than be
constrained to external standards.
