SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES.

y EPORTS from the colleges and
N universities are TO the effect that
in the freshmen classes there is a
greater percentage Of public high school
pupils than ever before. Indeed, for
the last decade this tendency has been
noticed. It is undoubtedly due 10 the
fact that our public school systems
have so improved that they are gem
orally regarded as superior foa prepar-
atory work 10 the average private
school.
Not many years ago a class Of peo-
pie had prejudice against the public
schools, feeling that they might be
very well for the masses. but a re-
proach 10 parents Of means who sent
their sons TO them.

n NCE IN a while we have some per
~ son declare that there has been
a vast amount Of oficiai grating un-
covered during Roosevelt's admlnis-
tration Now when we think OF the
vast machinery OF our government ex-
tending 20 every section Of this country
and even reaching out an over the
world. It Is not surprising that there
has been some grating. Yet an put
together it does not equal that OF any
one Of dozen Of our municipalities.
But here Is a point to consider. Under
an easy-gong but honest President
most OF that grating would have gone
right on without discovery or without
an appreciation Of It's magnitude.
When Secretary Hitchcock, for I'M
stance threatened those implicated in
the land frauds. they retaliated by
threatening TO have him ousted from
the Cabinet They had powerful innu.

stood by his secretary. and sustained

iancee and his aunt awaiting his re-
turn, expecting he win escort them to
a ball. but this he positively refuses
to do He has just secured new

their opinion. but although the aunt
accuses him OF selhshness and the grl
returns his engagement ring he is per-
fectly satisfied with himself. The arti.
sle on Mars is picked up and Parker
