mind Of a girl comments Harper's Weekly.
O. just as important as to do the like for
boy. That Is pretty much conceded in
these intelligent days, though many aues-
lions still remain as to the particular pro-
cesses that are fitted to develop girls minds
and how they differ from the processes
proper to train the minds Of boys. That the
girls colleges have succeeded and that the
work they do is exceedingly valuable Is con-
ceded. The women they have trained have
been heard from, and are being heard from
more every year, and they are women that
our civilization could by no means spare.
And yet the girls colleges seem to be still
rather more of a problem than the boys
colleges. They ought TO be, of course, for
they are newer. The whole problem Of the
education of girls is newer. The solution
Il has had so far has been to give the girls
as far as possible what is given to the boys.
We do not find that the more thoughtful
and informed observers are wholly satisfied
with that solution nor with the girls col
leges as they are. The colleges are good
but their courses and influences are not yet
accepted anything like so generally as the
best thing for girls who can get them. as
the processes of the boys colleges are ac-
cepted as the best thing for boys We find
parents Weighing very carefully what their
/ girls might get at college against what IL
would be possible TO give them at home We
! find parents considering, not without anx-
/ iety, what they will get back II their girl
! goes to college.
! The liking for domestic women is still
/ prevalent. and SO Is the notion that college
/ girls, after four years of independent life,
may take domestication hard. 1t is true
that domestication can be overdone. New
ertheless, there Is some current disappoint-
ment in the working and results of the
! women's colleges, some feeling that there
are losses to offset what girls gain in
! them; some feeling that they do not yet
| combine all the advantages OF the best coll
! leges with those Of the best boys colleges.

STANDARDS OF LIVING.
Efficiency and Luxury in University
Training.

II efficiency were the object OF eduea-
ton, as it so clearly is in Germany, and
as it so clearly ought 10 be here, 1t would
be recognized at the outset that frugality
was conducive 10 ii and luxury hostile
says Scribners Magazine. In England,
Frouds said that university education
fitted man extremely well for the grade
Of gentleman, but for no other that he
knew Of. And in that Oxonian classic Tom
Brown We find one of the hero's heroes
telling him, Three years at Oxford, my
boy, will teach you something OF what
rank and money count for, il they teach
you nothing else" That lesson is one
which, OF all lessons. should in America
be postponed TO a postgraduate course, and
not inserted. either as compulsory or as
elective, I'm the undergraduate curriculum.
Things are by no means az badly off with
US yet in this respect as they are with the
English. There is no American institution
OF learning as yet in which a Rhodes
scholarship would not enable its holder to
get ths full benefit OF the institution, scot
ally as well as enthusiastically and athleti-
cally. If any American undergraduate
should complain TO his parent that he
could not live" on that allowance. the
parent, If he had any sense at all, would
promptly withdraw him from that seal
Of learning. The sense Of humor has
among other definitions, been defined as a
sense Of proportion. And the sense Of
humor on which We pride ourselves ought
to suffice to prevent the spending by any
youth, engaged in the preparation for tn,
battle Of life, Of more than three or foui
times the yearly amount that he coulC
reasonably expect to earn in the open mar
ket after his preparation was completed
and he had entered the battle. And, mos
certainly, It is not good that differen
standards Of living depending on diff
ferent amounts of private means" should
be encouraged or even tolerated by tn,

place Of education is the last place fl
which there is room for a set Of socia
distinctions based on money.

Prof Bernhard Boeggild, in charge of the
dairying department Of the Royal Agri-
cultural college OF Copenhagen. Denmark,
gave an illustrated lecture Saturday night
at the Young Mems Christian asso-
citation hall on the subject of the milk
supply Of Copenhagen. The Danish pro-

Prof. Boeggild spoke of the poor milk
supply in Copenhagen thirty-two years ago,
when the movement for a reform in dairy
production was started by Gunne Busck, a
butter merchant. He said that the methods
used by Denmark are now followed by most
Of the civilized countries OF the world. In

OF improving the milk supply and the in
novations followed, as enumerated by
Prof. Boeggild were:

FLAMING COUNTRY LIFE SCHOOL
Suggestions Formulated by State
Commission.

Commission.
The country life commission appointed by
the governor Of the state OF Washington
has outlined plans for a model country
school and community center which is to
be established near Spokane as an expert
ment. The plans call for ten acres Of
ground, a consolidated rural school, COM
munity hall, cottage for the teacher,
ample play ground and space for practical
work in agriculture. The school is designed
to serve an area OF thirty-six square miles,
the most distant point being three miles.
The school house is to be honey in
appearance, as well as modern and sani-
tary, a building erected within the means
OF the district and yet one to which the
farmers and their wives and children will
point with pride.
This new type OF schooihouse, says the
commissions report, shall be supplemented
with a second building which shall contain
a business office, library. hall, kitchen-a
community hall that may be used for the
meetings of farmers Organizations, of
women's country clubs and for general and
social gatherings Of all kinds, being pro-
.vided with a kitchen and other convenient
furnishings, including fittings by which
lectures with lantern slides may be given,
as well as some gymnasium apparatus.
As a library this community hall should
contain, besides the usual books in school
Libraries, information now in possession Of
the national department of agriculture and
the state experiment stations This infor-
nation should be arranged so that it can
be easily obtained by any OF the farmers
OF the district. There should also be
collected here agricultural papers on file.
and any other local or general information
which may be OF value 10 the patrons of
the school, as well as TO the scholars them
selves.
AS a business office there should be
collected in the community hall list of
what is being grown for market in the
district, so that those desiring to purchase
any OF these products can learn by tele-
phone the kinds and qualities 70 be OBJ
tanned in the district, as live stock, fruit.
! grain or vegetables.
A third building demanded by the eoun-
try life school is home for the principal
OF the school, n home that can serve as
| q model TO the average teacher.
! Primarily, the purpose OF the school Is
for the average boy-one OF the ninety-fivs

ment on various Phases

At the last meeting OF the Board of
Regents OF the University Of Nebraska,
the recommendation of the university SEN
ate simplifying and unifying the entrance
requirements to the various colleges OF
the university was adopted TO become OPP
erative September /, 1911. Seventeen points
are required and thirteen points are cleo
tive. The required subjects are English,
4; European history, ?; foreign languages,
8; algebra, 5, and geometry, >. OF the six
points required in foreign languages, four
must be In Latin to enter the college OF
arts and sciences, the teachers college,
and the college OF medicine, provided that
the committee on accredited schools may
accept German or French to meet the re-
quired six points in foreign languages in
the case Of especially approved accredited
schools for entrance TO any college except
that OF medicine. Three points In geome-
try are required to enter the college Of
engineering, two points in physics are re-
quired for entrance 20 the colleges Of en-
cheering, agriculture and medicine, and
these may be substituted for two points
in language.
The thirteen credits may be elected from:

in an approved manner in an accredited
secondary school, 1 each, 6.
While chemistry Is elective, students that
intend entering the college Of engineering,
agriculture or medicine should present TWO
credits in this subject. Otherwise it will
be necessary to take beginning chemistry
as a college subject thus reducing the
number of free electives that can be carried
in the course

schools may, by special action of the CON-
mittee on accredited schools, be granted

F ourth National
Guard is Planned
Sergeant Hassman Starts Move to
Organize Company of Crack
Engineers Soon.

What promises to be a crack company
OF engineers Is In the process Of formation
In Omaha now, according to an announce
ment from the local armory yesterday. The
plan is to organize a Fourth National
Guard company Of infantry first, and later
to develop the body into one Of en-
gineers, the recruits being restricted to

secured the practical information OF that
branch OF the service. He then attended
the Kansas State college at Manhattan
for two years, completing an engineering
course there, and then successfully passed
/ an examination for q commission In the
engineer corps.
The organization Of a company In
/ another branch Of the service is being
welcomed by the officers at the armory
as 1t VIII give a greater variety 10 the
military happenings whereabouts, and will
induce many more high-grade young mer
| to become interested In them.
| 1t is the plan of Sergeant Hassman to
enlist none but young me who are willing
TO study. and improve themselves mentally
and physically.
The new company will be organized al

mum Of forty enlisted men and three Of
ficers each, and present indications ar,
that they will far exceed the minimum.
