make excellent cravats which she can

Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1908-07-03

The United States commissioner of
education reports that there are 622
institutions of higher education avail
able for the men of the country. In
ia of these the enrolment Of male I'M
dergraduates exceeds 200. In seventeen
the number is 1000 or more, five Of
them having more than 900 and five
others following closely with over 1900
each. The figures are for undergrad
uate male attendance and take no ac
count Of graduate or professional en-
rollment. A good deal has been written
of late about the Termination of the
colleges. The eagerness with which
women have been availing themselves
of the opportunities afforded them in
day Of popular coeducation has led
many people to think that the number
of male students has been decreasing.
These statistics, designed to show the
contrary, tell their own story. If the
women were counted there would be
need of Encouragement of the figures.
But, counting them or leaving them
States is country of colleges. There
never was such an army of students in
the world as that which thrOngs Amer
lean colleges, whether supported by
public grant or private endowment.
When this fact is remembered, the
large amounts of money given in year
for educational purposes are better I'M
derstood. Another inquiry has brought
out the statement that during the last
twelve months more than $23,OO0,O0O
has been given for the cause Of higher
education in the United States. The
largest amount received was by the
University of Chicago-$4 100000. The
smallest amount reported was $4,000.
Between these two extremes generous
gifts Of varying sums have enriched the
schools. AS rule the older and bet
ter endowed institutions have been
most favored. The pressing throngs Of
students have demanded more instruct
Ors, more courses of study, more labor
atOries and dormitories, more equip
ment In many cases colleges have
been seriously embarrassed because of
the demands made upon them. There
is no longer 4 search for students. The
real problem is one Of handling proper
ly those who present themselves for IL
struction. And when it is recalled that
the institutions of the collegiate type
represent only part of that general edu-
cation to which the United States is
pledged, there is occasion for just pride
on the part of the American people.

LEPERs IN THE CANAL ZONE.
Site Selected for the Colony Is
Worthy a Fashionable Sanitarium.

Site Selected for the Colony Is
Worthy Fashionable Sanitarium.
Near the beautiful little suburb of
Palo Seco, six miles from the city Of
Panama, is a group Of eight new build
ings erected by American officials for
the segregation of lepers in the canal
Zone-there are seventeen of them
and they are under the care Of an Amer
lean physician aided by several attend
ants, says the New York Times.
Nothing illustrates the change that
has been wrought in the zone by the
introduction of American methods bet
ter than the American way of treating
these outcasts of society. When the
zone first came under American control
there were a number of makeshift pest
houses in out-of-the-way stations along
the line of the Panama railroad Some
were in the city of Colon, while on the
outskirts of Panama eleven patients,
nominally in the care of the govern
ment of Panama, were huddled togeth-
er in small building.
The site selected for the colony is
worthy a fashionable sanitarium. On
rising ground the broad verandas which
surround three sides of every building
look across the bay, with its ever-in-
creasing shipping. to the city of Pan
anna in the middle distance. Farther
on the winding coast line stretches till
it is lost in the tropic haze. To the
rear, beyond the little suburb the low
country stretches indefinitely toward
the hills, its slow winding rivers and
scattered clearings showing like lines
on map.
The colony is utterly isolated-the
chief reason for the selection of the
spot. The whole width of the bay pro-
tects Panama from infection, while to
the rear the Rio Grande and the little
Farfan river separate 1t from Palo
