DeslD COLLEGES

More young men and women are re-
ceiying a college education this year than
ever before in this country. Sure indica-
tion of this educational fact is gained
from enrolment reports received by the
Chicago Record-Herald from sixty FIVE
prominent institutions of learning. Last
years phenomenal attendance of $4,000
at these schools is now increased to more
than $1,000. The growth reported does
not confine itself to any section of the
United States or to any specific lines of
work. The University Of California
shows a substantial addition to its roll of
students, the University of Maine does
likewise, and in the South and middle
West the deans and registrars report a
similar increase. HighT requirements
for admission have not acted as re-
straining influence save in the case of
Brown University and a fee other iso-
lated instances. Itemized estimates of
the attendance show that most of the
1900 new students are actual freshmen
and not postgraduate pupils. The pro-
feSsional schools attached to the univer-
sites have their share of the increase,
but it is in the undergraduate, academic
al departments that the classes evidence
the greatest expansion. Schools of mu-
sic seem next in the favor Of seekers
after culture.
1t is probably not generally known
that the United States spends annually
on elementary education about $227, O00-
000-the exact figures for 1906 -iy01
were, according to the report of the
United States Commissioner of Educa-
ton, $226, O43, 236. Europe spent during
the same period approximately $246,000,-
900. The enrolment in the elementary
schools Of Europe is, however, in the
neighborhood of 45,000000, while in the
United States it is not much more than
10000 000-although it is estimated that
there were, in 1901, almost 22,000000
children of school-going age in the Unit
ed States. The yearly expenditure per
pupil in the. United States averages SD.
Some profit may be gained from a com
parison of the amounts spent yearly by
representative Americ an cities for the
maintenance and operation Of their pub
lie schools New York spent in a sin
gle year $40, 731 ,629; Chicago follows
with an outlay of $S,203, 493; Philadel-
phia's expenditure was $3,319,G04 Bos-
toms, SO, 043, GAO: Baltimore's. $1,417 ,392;
Cleveland's, $1,257 ,345; and Washing
toms 81, 1896 New Orleans is at the
end of the list, with an expense of only
$47S,025. ST. Louis. by the way, pays
more for it's police department than for
it's schools: S1,602, 1872 for the former.
against S1,526. $40 for the latter--a ratio
of one dollar for the police to ninety-ive
cents for tn. schools.

Err Faminc threatened.

A famine in eggs is threatened. Prices
jumped cents a dozen in Chicago Mon
day and sold at 81 cents dozen whole
sale for fresh This is the highest point
in ten Years, with the exception of Feb
ruary, 1902, when they sold at "a cents
a dozen.
Eggs have been scarce all fall, and
brought fancy prices. The supply has
been bought by spectators, who control
the market There is not over 10000
cases in cold storage in Chicago to sup
ply the winter consumption when there
should be double that quantity.
These are the eggs that retailers palm
off on the consumer when prices are high
and are said to be strictly" fresh, but
the dealer does not say that they are
fresh from the eold-storage house In
fact. he does not know where they come
from. The price is so high that con-
sumption is likely to be shut off for some

deposited with the National banks, to
be drawn on or bonds will have to be
issued to meet the expenditures. To
withdraw from the National banks at
this time such a large amount would
compel them to reduce their loans and
that would in all probability result in
another upheaval in the stock market
and might precipitate a panic. The
financial condition in Wall street is
none too sound even with the extraor-
binary aid rendered by loaning the
banks all the available resources of
the government.
The report of the cash in the United
States treasury in the statement issued
Dec. 3 gives the available cash balance
of 1923, 454,013. But although Secre-
tary Shaw calls that large surplus
available, wher the items that COM
pose it are examined it is found that
it melts into but S43, 101 600 of free
cash that can be used to pay for the
canal.
This will be seen by the following
figures taken from the Treasury state
ment
Loaned to national banks $15S,614, T57

officers in Z. 'S..... 9,419, 705

1t is admitted the money loaned to
the National banks is not available, the
money to the credit of the disbursing
officers in this country and the Philip
| pines is virtually already used, and the
subsidiary silver and minor coins is
only useful when especially called for
| 1t will be seen therefore that there
is not sufficient cash in the treasury to
| pay for the Panama canal if the new
treaty with Panama is ratified by the
Senate. No wonder even the optimistic
Secretary of the Treasury could only
say there is "scant reason for appre-
tension"
1t will soon be up to the administra-
ton to declare its policy by either call
Jag upon the National banks to dis
gorge, or to issue more bonds.

up to it, 1t lies in the fact that the
''long coat really consists of short
jacket and a separate long skirt. The
latter is usually open in front, being Sc
cured toward the top with two or three
buttons This may be worn or left off
at the wearer's pleasure. So the partic-
ularly stylish long coat suit really is one
that is capable of double use and was
planned just for such purpose This
point is concealed much better than is
usual with such scheming, and the idea
is quite commendable, even If it does
rather take the gloss off from many pre-
tentious gowns. 1t should encourage the
admirers of them, however, for with
the double use, such a suit would be far
less of an extravaganza than otherwise
it might be.
