On Monday decision was handed
down in the Supreme Court of the
United States confirming the constitu-
tionality of the separate coach or ':Jim
Crow car law of Kentucky.
The case originated in the failure
of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad
to comply with the Kentucky law,
which requires separate cars for white
and Afro-American passengers. The
law was upheld by all the State. courts,
and the company appealed to the
United States Supreme Court on the
theory that the law must necessarily
interfere with Interstate commerce,
and that the State Legislature had
passed it with that intention.
In deciding the case to-day and up
holding the law, so far as it concerns
passengers within the State of Ken

decision of the Kentucky Court Of APP
peals, that the law in question really

try has ever known. The Philadelphia
Saturday Evening Post has taken some
trouble to collect the returns from the
different institutions of the country, and
there is scarcely an exception to the re-
port of an unprecedented increase in the
number of students. This affects not only
the universities, so-called but all the
colleges eff every class and size through
out the Union,
Such an institution as Princeton, for in
stance, reports an increase of 20 per cent
in the freshman class Harvard has the
largest freshman class in the history Of
any American institution. Columbia has
an unplece oentsd incry ase. Yale has GOO
freshmen, with an. increase of more than
10 per cent in every department, and the
Western colleges are fully as~prosperous.
The collegiate institutions of the country,
some 400 in all, have a combined attend
ance Of between 100000 and 100000, and
the total is not far from the 100000 mark
During and after all periods III prosper
ity the private schools and the colleges
secure an increased membership, for the
evident reason that people are better pre-
pared, to pay. for the instruction of their
children. That the figures have this year
gone far beyond Al anything ever before
known is, Of course, largely accounted for
by the increase in populations; but, while
allowing fully for all that, it is still true
that the number has greatly exceeded any
former proportion in the population sta
tistics of the country.
1t may be we'll to- explain that the word
college, as referring to American institu-
tons, is on the average more true than
the word university. There are, in name,
more than one hundred universities in
the United States. Actually, however,
there are not half dozen; but in these
days, when professor may be any
thing from a bootblack to a Sanscrit
scholar, it would be idle to quarrel with
mere names. r -
The great thing is that the rush for
higher education was never so strong or
