From reports sent to the reorganiz-
alton committee, the impression is
growing that the small clubs should not
be cut off from direct con6ection with
the fountain head Of inspiration. To
respond to the very just criticism that
the executive body is too large, the sue-
gestion is made that the presidents of
state federation only shall be vice presi.

to see this. They see that the admins
trstion DOESN'T care what happens to
our possessions. so long as the possessions
do not hurt the trusts. The people are
weary of syndicate rule at Washington.
They see that the protected industries
regarded the election of 1896 as giving
the magnates carte blanche to do any
thing they wish. The ship-subsidy
snap. numerous Nicaragua snaps. the
Gage-tressury snap, the embslned beef
snap-all these things have convinced
the public that the people who put up
the money to elect Mckinley are using
the administration to get back their
money at a thousand per cent profit.
Prosperity is not fooling the people,
either. as much as the president friends
may think. High prices are what the
siiverites wanted in 1896. They have
got them. But the best thinking people
know that prices are too high, even
though the fact be admitted that prices
were too low in the years between SO
and SO. Prosperity has not struck the
wage-esrner nor the salsried man. But
the price Of things those people need is
going up steadily. And the indications
for the near future are very cheap wheat.
II everything the farmer sells is to be
cheap, while everything he buys is dear.
as is likely to be the case with the mar
ket before the presidential election,
there will be such discomfort for the
administration to face as the syndicates
have not counted upon. And it lie not
likely that the republican national com.
mittee will be able to .'boost wheat. as
it did from August to October. in 1896,
to convince the farmer OF the fallacy of
the whest-silver sympathy"

THE COLUMBIA INSTITUTE ANNEX

In order to extend the privileges of
the Institute to worthy students unable
to pay the regular price, or to those who
may wish to economize in order to take
several extras, from twenty to thirty
girls will be accommodated at club rates
in the Annex. This is an ivy covered
building we'll ventilated by cross
windows. 1t will be repaired and at
tractively refurnished and fully equipped
with sleeping apartment, dining room,
kitchen and pantry. 1t is connected
with the main building, from the second
by the recreation hall The privilege of
co operative house keeping will be ex-
tended to the pupils occupying the build
ing. That is to say, no profit will &C.
crue to the school except for rent and
tuition. A refined, cultured lady will
act as house mother, hence the same
wholesome restriction and safe pleas
ures, given the regular boarder, will be
extended to the Annex. The same re-
citations, and the same rules exit for
both. The arrangement is in no sense a
charity. The student pays the regular
tuitlon-S $50 year-and for the build
ing, heated and lighted, $40 year. 1t
is not industrial, for a cook will be EN-.
ployed, and such servants as the income
will allow. / is estimated that these
expenses will not exceed so year. To
be explicit:
Tuition for one year......... ......s 90 20
Rent for building furnished,
heated and lighted by electricity 20 %
Provisions and servants hire. -. 10 90
Total .......................$ $3.50 %
! BY furnishing from their farms pro-
visions, such as flour, lard, meat, pota-
toes, canned fruit and vegt tables, stu
dents may reduce the expense of living.
These provisions will be credited to
their account by the house mother. A
president for the literary society will be
chosen from the Annex. The student
who exerts the best moral influence and
by vote of the faculty is leader in her
class, will, the next year, receive a
scholarship; i. e., will be excused from
paying either tuition or room rent.
We wish TO emphasize that gradua-
ton. class room, social, religion and
; literary privileges, will be extended alike
to the regular boarder and the student
of the Annex. But it is expected that
. only the student Of the highest and best
aims will apply for admission TO the
Annex, In such cases the benefit 70
, the student and the school will be
mutual.
For further particulars address,
Miss NJ. A. BRYANT,
