The United States commissioner OF
education reports that there are 622
institutions Of higher education ayah-
able for the men of the country. In.
ia OF these the enrolment of male I'M
d-ergraduates exceeds 200. In seventeen
the number is 1000 or more, five OF
them having more than 200 and five
others following closely with over 1,5OO.

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
a 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. II the
women were counted there would be
need of rearrangement of the figures.
But, counting them or leaving them
out, the facts are clear that the United
States IS a 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 Dr. private endowment
When this fact Is remembered, the
large amounts of money given in a 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,OOO,OOo
has been given for the cause Of higher
education in the United States. The
largest amount received was by the
University of Chlcago-&,300,0O0. The
smallest amount reported was $1,000.
Between these two extremes generous
gifts of varying sums have enriched the
schools. As a 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 uponFthem. There
is no longer a search for students. The
real problem is one of handling proper
ly those who present themselves for il
struction. And when 1t 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. :.

The publisher who advertises books
for all ages tacitly recognizes that
the seven ages of man call for differ

philosophy and criticism for serene old

should have books which will interpret
