to forbid counting by teachers during

DR.. HARRIS NEW REPORT.

The latest report of the United
States commission of education. like
all of his reports. Is an exceedingly
interesting document The most strik-
ing fact in the report is the enormous
increase in the number of young men
and women who are seeking a higher
education, the total being almost dou-
BILE that of ten years ago. The total
number Of men In colleges. universe
ties and professional schools is 49,
472. as against 1926 ten years ago.
and the number of young women 27-
S79. as against 10.76l. the total of
both having increased from 55.G77 to
l03.35l in the decade. There has been
much larger proportional increase
among the women students than
among men-almost three-fold. In
ten years they have increased from
S.075 young women In coeducational
institutions. to II .4GS, while in schools
of technology they increased from 707
TO l.15l, and in colleges for women
only from 1879 to $500. OF the total

the schools. OF theology. where the
number OF students has been gradual
ly falling off for several years. The
total is Z ,5G7. a decrease OF 442 from
the previous year. and of SO4 In five
years. This is in marked contrast
with the rapid growth OF the mum

dentistry. The law students mum
bered 1852, an increase of more than
900 in one year. and $3.50 In ter
years. There was an even greater In

numbered 26,757. There were 1906
young men studying dentistry. and 4,

SECULAR SHOTS AT THE PULPIT

Cleveland Plain Dealer: An In.
diana minister and several members OF
his flock are reported to have lost
all the money they put into the Co
Operative Turf association of New
Orleans, because the postoflice of
ficials saw fit to close the concern.
There is little doubt that they would
have lost 1t anyway, but the present
circumstances give them the happy
chance to rail at the ofliciousness Of
Uncle Sans myrmidons.
Springfield Republican: Why do
not the American officials in the
Philippines go to church more? This
serious question has been considered
worthy of an answer by Bishop Breut
of Mania In the first place. he pro
nounces false the report that our Pro
testant representatives stay away
1 from church in order to please. or
avoid dlspleasing, the Roman Cath
olics. While Governor Taft attends
the bishops church in Manila, the
great majority of Americans do not GO
to any church, because they would
not go at home. This seems a per
r fectly rational explanation. Ameri
cans are Americans everywhere.

AMERICAN
MINING
CONGRESS

DEADWOOD. S. D., Sept. 5.-Del
eeltes are already arriving in large
numbers for the meeting OF the Amer
lean Mining Congress. which is to be
gin its sessions here next Monday and
continue through the week. lndica
lions point to a large attendance from
Colorado. California, Arizona, Ala
bama, Tennessee, Illinois, Missouri
Iowa, Indiana, Pennsylvania. Mich
igan, Montana. Idaho and numerous
other states. Judging from the pre-
parations made and the large number
of early arrivals the session will be
a memorable one. 1t is the first time
that the congress has been honureu
by the official recognition. of the
President of the United States, who il

The session is to last six days, and
the delegates and their friends also
will enjoy several outings that have
been arranged for them The speak

Roberts of Washington. ID. c.. Frank

no doubt that the technical part o.
the program will be interesting Jus
what particular question Will engage
the uppermost attention OF the con
gress at this session will not be known
until the congress convenes.
II is very probable, however. thai
the all-absorbing topic will have to dc
with securing for the mining industry
OF the United States representation in
the cabinet of the president. The fac
that Secretary Shaw will attend the
congress will no doubt accentuate the
discussion of this question, which for
the past year has been agitated by
members OF the congress above al
other matters. Whether the extra
lateral right issue will be taken VI
again as it was at Butte last year re
mains to be seen.
The coming session will mark the
sixth annual meeting of this organi
cation. The congress has been in eX
istence nearly ten years, though al
its beginning meetings were held al
irregular intervals. Last year the
convention was held at Butte, and 1t
was voted big success by all who
attended. This was due in measure
to the fact that the session was held
at real live mining camp, which ad
ded considerable interest to the de
