RAPID PROGRESS IS MADE

Congress Should Aid the Educational
Institutions of the Various States.
Interesting Address Delivered by
Mississippi Educator.
DETROIT, July 12.-This is the last
day of the National Educational associ-
alton, and the morning session was
called to order by President Green. The
smallest audience of the week was pres
ent.
Higher Education" was the topic Of
the morning, papers being read by Pres
ident Charles F. living of Western Re-
serve university, Cleveland; Robert B.
Fulton, president of the University of
Mississippi; Hon. w. T. Harris, ma
tional commissioner of education.
President Thwing, who was the first
speaker, discussed 1.-The Functions of a
University In Popular Democracy.
Some State Systems.
f. B. Fulton, president of the Uni.
versity of Mississippi, spoke, in part, as
follows:
ga review of the development of the
state systems of education, including
schools of all grades, shows that in most
cases the initiative lay in grants of land
made by congress. Through the stimu-
lus thus given the newer states have
been able TO make more rapid progress
than the older states, and practically III
the work of higher education. Through
the coordination and the cooperation
of schools of all grades belonging to the
state systems there have come about an
Unprecedented growth of the work of
the state universities.
"The total mum Der of students enrolled
in 26 state universities located in all
parts of the Union, excepting the North
Atlantic states, in 1894 was IA. 943 stu
dents The same 26 institutions in 1901
show a total enrolment of 90, 583 stu.
dents-an increase of fully 100 per cent
in ten years. The remarkable growth
of the work of the state universities is
the natural result of their coordination
with the public school systems in the
several states.
Larger Means Needed.
'To meet the requirements of the
work of these institutions larger means
Will be needed. A proper coordination
of the educational work of all the states
calls for federal assistance. This should
take the form of aid for the more ad-
vanced work. Provision should be
made in Washington for such graduate
work by students from state universi-
ties and all the colleges of the country
as cannot be thoroughly done by these
separate institutions.
Congress should give further aid to
educational work in the states, and this
should best take the form of mainten-
ance of mining or other engineering
and mechanical schools" "

TIRED OF THE WAR.
British Making Offers of Peace to

British Making Offers of Peace to
the Beers.
LONDON, July 2.-Referring to the
government admission that they had
information respecting the shooting of
British wounded at Vladifontein so long
back as June ii, The Daily Mail, whose
correspondent was the first to make the
news public, states that this is only a
small portion of the policy of conceal
ment now being carried on. IC pro-
fesses to have abundant evidence that
almost the whole theater of war is In a
much worse condition than the public
is allowed to know.
The state of affairs IN Cape Colony,
in particular, is said to be of a most Sc.
rious nature, due almost entirely to the
belief among the Dutch that the con-
stant efforts of the British authorities
to propitiate go to show that they are
tired of the war. While the govern
meHt is constantly saying in public that
the war will be fought to a finish, they
are, says The Daily Mail, continually
making offers of peace to the Beers.
