that good roads are a luxury for the
rich. but it is not so regarded in Eu-

minister 10 the pleasures OF those

Dear Sir: Here's another prob

If Devoe is worth s1.75 a gallon,
and spreads a half further than av-

long, what is average paint worth d
gallon put on, painters wages being
$3.50 a day and a days work gal
Ion of paint
The answer is minus $1.75 gall

painters wages.

Galveston. Texas. Aug. 2G.-The
coast country of Texas is suffering
for fresh water and wells which have
flowed for twenty-five years are go
ing dry Scientists and oil experts
declare the South Texas oil fields
have affected the artesian water
sheds and that unless great change
takes place in the interior OF the
earth In the very near future this
section will be waterless.
Galveston's fresh water supply is
taken from artesian wells on the
mainland fourteen miles from here.
The city is now consuming several
thousand gallons a day in excess of
the supply Of 100000 gallons. the
supply from the thirty wells is grad
ually decreasing, and wells supplying
10000 acres of rice lands with water
have ceased flowing. This section OF
the state is suffering from long
drought with the rainfall II inches
below the normal for this season.
The actual damage to crops Is esu-
mated at a half million already.

The difficulty that higher education has
to contend with is the diversity of stand
ards that obtains There are many So
called colleges. good enough in their
way, that offer degrees which IN no way
reach the standards of the better col
itges Graduates with a. b, degrees from
institutions of this class have found to
their surprise that the degree was worth
less and oftentimes they have had to be
coached before they could matriculate for
even the freshman class In many other
colleges. The college entrance examina-
tion board, an organization that has been
formed within the past decade, has not
only minimlZed the examination work FOR
colleges. but has been instrumental in
establishing a more uniform system Of
study both in colleges and preparatory
schools. In 1871 the University Of Michi-
gan introduced the accrediUng system Of
admission 20 colleges, allowing graduates
from schools Of recognized ability 20 en-
ter on certificates without examination
Higher education has been introduced
into the home circle by the Chautauqua
Institute. and through University Exten-
sion courses. The former organization
was formed in 1874. and since then has
provided home reading courses in the arts,
sciences and literature. About 1900 stu
dents profit by this work each year. The
