Eersity students in comparison to it's pop

next, with seventy-sever; Germany, fifty

| There is no way Of ascertaining the ra-

no university standard, although, thanks
| to the offices of the Carnegie foundation
| for taking care of retired professors, we
are gradually approaching one. Educa-
ton is a business in the European coun-
| tries, just like the learning of trade,
and particularly SO in Germany.
| While the oldest universities in Europe
are found in England. Spain, Italy and
| France, and date back as far as the
| twelfth century, the oldest German insti-
| tutions were not establl shed until the lat
| ter half of the fourteenth century. Hell
delberg was founded in 1885. Cologne in
| 1888, Erfurt in 132, Leipzig in 14O9, RIOS
| took in 14lO, Frieberg in 146O and Witten-
| berg in 1902. The universities of Cologne
and Erfurt were municipal foundations
and were abolished. the former In 1'N
and the latter in 1915. as result of the
French revolution, which was destructive
to SO many established institutions. Wit
tenberg was combined with Halle in Io11.
Leipzig was established in 400 and cele-
brated it's five hundredth anniversary
year ago last summer. Two thousand
students came here that year from the
University of Prague because Of the re-
ligious war over the teachings of John
Huss, the great reformer, who was its
rector, and the Duke of SaxOny provided
them with instructors.
Has Twenty-Five Universities.
There are twenty-One universities in
Germany. The following is a list, with
the number of professors and teachers,
and the number of students in each:
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1910-12-13

The privatdocents are temporary instruct
ors without such privileges. All profess
ors are appointed for life and are obliged
to deliver lectures and perform the
duties Of their offices according to the
rules of the institutions. All appoint
ments to professorshps and all elections
of rectors and deans are theoretically
subject to the approval of the emperor,
and in several cases William II has eX-
ercised his right of veto, refusing to con-
firm the appointments Of certain persons
whose opinions do not conform to his
own, or who were considered by him un-
safe instructors for the young men of
Germany.
Each professor receives a fixed stipend
from the government. The salary list
was rearranged in 1897. In Berlin Uni
versity the salaries start at 1880 marks
"a mark being equivalent to about %
cents), and in the other universities at
1000 marks, and rise by five-year stages
until they reach a maximum of 9,40O
marks in Berlin and $500 marks in the
other institutions In addition to this the
professors in Berlin receive an allowance
for house rent amounting to 900 marks,
and in other universities GEO.
All professors can receive fees from
students not to exceed 400 marks in
Berlin and 5000 marks in other institu-
tons. These cover lectures. examinations,
graduation and other university work.
The records and deans have additional
fees amounting to 1000 marks in the or
binary universities and 1900 to 1,4OO in
Berlin.
Professors are allowed to except homo
raria for outside work, with the permits
sion of their faculties, when it does not
interfere with their regular duties. In
the case Of certain famous physicians,
surgeons, chemists, mineralogists, cleo
tricians and other specialists, these often
run into high amounts. Members of the
medical faculties are allowed to practice
regularly and members of the law facul-
ties are permitted to accept fees in con-
sutation cases, and occasionally they go
into court. These practices vary some
what in the different institutions, accord
ing to tradition. In some OF them the ap
pearance of a professor of law in d cele-
brated litigation is considered a great adj
vertisement for the institution and at
tracts students

proctors; the honor system prevails in all
institutions. A young man who is eligible
to attend lectures is presumed to be
capable of regulating his attendance II
he is SO foolish as to neglect his opportu-
mites the penalty is automatic-his time
and money have been wasted and that is
considered punishment enough. Some pro-
fessors. however, keep a close watch upon
their classes and "call down" students
frequently, when neglecting their work or
showing a proper lack of interest.
The plan of recitations .nat' prevails in
the institutions of the United States is
not common in Germany, but occurs only
in exceptional cases. There are usually
only two forms Of instruction, lectures
and private reading. and in spite of the
frequent agitation for reforms this sys-
the fundamental and form Of university
education. on the theory that the lecture
is the only convenient method by which q
teacher can teach a large number at the
same time. The German objection to the
recitation system is that only portion of
the class can participate. and a pupil
who Is ignorant or unprepared to throw
any light upon the lesson is wasting the
time of his classmates. 1t is argued LAT
no student ever learns anything from
his fellows, whereas at a lecture he re-
ceives a full hour Of valuable instruction
from a learned authority. In addition to
attending lectures students are required
to read UP in certain text books on the
same subjects.

Have Personal Following.

Professors in German universities have
| a larger personal following than those of
the United States. This is true all over
Europe, and especially in the medical
schools of Paris and Vienna When some
brilliant light flashes UP in the faculty
Of university he will attract many
young men who are studying for the same
profession.
Professors can retire from active work
at the age OF sfXty-five on full salaries
without allowances or fees and the fami-
lies of deceased professors receive per-
sionS to the amount Of LOCO marks for a
widow and 100 marks for each Chi q.
Only those who have matriculated are
considered students. In addition there
are authorized hearers" who are admit
ted to lectures with the consent of the
professor and pay certain fees, but do not
enter the examinations and therefore are
not eligible to degrees.
In several German universities women
are admitted on this basis: in others they
are allowed equal privileges with men:
The ordinary qualification for ma tricu-
lation is the possession of a certificate
from high school or gymna SUM. In
other cases there is an examination to
| ascertain whether the candidate is quail
fed to follow the lectures.
Unless they have the benefit of free
scholarships, all students are required to
pay certain fees for matriculation, for
lectures. for laboratory work, for clinics,
for examina tons and for degrees, and
also contribute to institutes clubs and
other student activities. The graduation
exercises customary in the United States
do not prevail in the German institutions,
and the public disputations which We're
common in former times have been abol-
ished in most OF them.
Attendance upon lectures is not COM
pulsory except in special cases, and if a
student can pass the examinations he is
entitled to a degree, no matter how many
lectures he has cut.

But the company did reduce the price

reductions are made about the same as
they were before.
