Of United States Senators by direct vote of the

1t is urged that the Philippine Islands shall
be given up that corporations shall be taxed
by the states alone; that the government shall

but declared that the incomes of corporations
should not be taxed by the government The

MANY ENUMERAToRs NEEDED.

LEVEN thousand more enumerators than
- were employed during the census of 1000
will be required to count noses during the
census of 1910. Director Durand says
that Geographer Sloan has estimated that the
increase in population throughout the country
will require the services of about o5,ooo emu
merators.
A portion OF this increase is accounted for by
the fact that the enumerators of 1000 worked
ten hours a day while for the coming census
Congress specifically provided for an eight-hour
day.
The enumeration of population will be taken
as of April IS, 1910, and enumerators must for
ward their returns to Supervisors within thirty
days from the start of the count, except that in
any city of 10000 where previous census has
been taken the enumeration must be completed
in two weeks.
The estimates for enumerators indicate striS-
ingly the increases in population since 1900
Oklahoma and Washington lead the states in the
percentage of increase-both requiring nearly
200 per cent more enumerators. According to
the estimates Pennsylvania will have the larg-
est number OF enumerators. $500 this time as
against ago in 1000; New York is second with
a probable 5000 for 1910 against 4,54I IN 1000
then comes Illinois, Ohio, Texas Missouri, Mas
sachusetts. Indiana. Michigan. Minnesota and
California in the order named-all needing p
600 or more enumerators.

are all doing work which though little heard
OF is effective. They are taking the sons and
daughters of those who have been living close
to nature and turning them into robust manhood
and womanhood, fitting them for higher place
IN the world than their parents occupied.
1t IS not only to such institutions as Berea
that Dr. Pearson has been giving substantial
help Other smaller colleges through the West
and the South have felt the aid Of his benevolent
hand. These colleges fill an important part in
the educational scheme of the country. Thou
sands of young men and women cannot afford
to attend the state universities or the larger
places Of learning. The smaller college meets
their wants in every way, and if these students
are made OF the right sort of stuff they will get
all the education needed to assist them in the
upward climb Of life. In fact, many hold that
better advantages are really offered to young
men in the best OF the smaller institutions than
in the larger ones, and despite the growth Of
the great universities with their splendid en-
dowments and their state help, the smaller col
leges have been able to hold their own
One point about the smaller colleges that ap-
peals to many parents is that they arc more
conservative in their teachings. Not a few par
ents look with suspicion upon the faddiest teach
ing that finds its way into the class rooms of
the sensational professor.
