have been an advocate OF some ade-
quate reinforcement or strengthen,

There are several methods by

erty which they are designed to pro
tect.
How this may be done is shown in
the accompanying sketch. The plan
is 70 put an excavating machine on
the crown OF the present levee and
dig a trench. foot in width. to a
depth Of 10 T ct below the original
ground surface or bottom OF the le-
wee. and fill same with concrete
This core wall of concrete will
not only prove an effectual barrier
to the ravases OF all hurrowing ami
mails. but would also prevent seepage
and the gradual disintegration Of
the levee. making a permanent and
positive protection instead OF tenn
porary and uncertain one.
Il do not think that any objection
can be urged against this plan eX-
cept its cost, which is not excessive
considering the damage done by q
single overflow such as We are hav.
ing this year
There are several types OF eXcav-
ating machines now on the market
with which the trench can be dug at
a cost OF cents per cubic yard, and
as the sand and gravel for the ce-
ment would come from the adjacent
river. s45o to s. per cubic yard will
be liberal estimate for the cost
OF the concrete.
The concrete gangs should follow
the excayating machines closely,
pouring the concrete into the ditch
Immediately after its digging, which
would eliminate caying or slough
ing Of the walls OF the trench and
obviate the use OF bracing

RISE OF STATE UNIVERSITIES.
Their Support Part of the Cost OF
Social Progress.

The vast resources of Harvard,
Yale and Columbia are the slow ae-
emulation Of time, and represent the
gifts of several generations. The
Middle West, too, would have had such
foundations had it been willing to
wait for wealthy donors. In it's early
period indeed. colleges We're thickly
planted, and they were as generously
supported as were the eastern colleges
in their adolescence. Forty years ago
such Institutions as Oberlin, Wabash.
Knox, Northwestern. Beloit and Iowa
were playing a leading role.
Then dawned the era of specialized
and costly education, the era of labo-
ratories collections, workshops and
gymnasiums, and the church colleges
We're unable to meet the demand In
willing to let two or three generations
of her young people miss their chance
while the colleges were slowly gather
ing endowments. the state enlarged
her heart and began to give generously
to the university that, under the ordi-
nance of 17S7, had been planted i'll
each commonwealth of the Northwest
and endowed with public lands.
Thanks to the agitation for state
aid, the people of the West have come
to Il different conception of the role
of higher education from the people
Of the Northeast. They regard it less
as the basis of individual success than
as sure means TO social progress,
and they agree that the state should
bear part of the cost of social prog
ress. In the last fifteen years, more
over, the ominous drift toward eeo-
monte inequality has made them solic
itous to bring about greater equality
of opportunity
To make education free from sill to
capstone appeals to them as one safe
way to counteract the sinister forces
of social stratification. 1t is this I'M
spoken concern for the future OF
democracy that prompts the two or
three millions of people in western
state to build up a university that
would be the glory of a European
ingdom.-Century.
