For the seventh season the department
Of education of the Y. NJ. c. A. is main
tanning its vacation school for boys of
the fifth. sixth, seventh. and eighth
grades of the public schools. Nearly l50
of the boys of these grades in the last
six years have been directly aided to
make up the deficiency of their respective
grades and qualify for promotion on the
recommendation of the principal In
charge of the school, under the regula-
tions of the superintendent and the pub
lie school authorities. The school was
inaugurated at the instance OF Director
of Education Jones. Of the Y. NJ. C. A.,
and was one of the pioneer experiments
in this field of summer school work in
Washington. Twenty-four pupils have
been actively at work In the school
since June "a, representing principally the
three grades, sixth, seventh. and eighth.
The first term closes July 81 A second
term win begin August and continue
until the middle Of September
With the Introduction Of the semester
PLAN or scheme of half yearly promo
tons in the public schools four years
ago, the necessity for making up the de-
fciencies of the grades in order that the
pupil might be promoted was diminished
in the. minds Of q good many parents
who felt that they. would rather have
the boys enjoy the freedom OF the coun-
try and seaside rather than swelter in
Washington over their books and school
room desks 1t seemed less important to
push the boy ahead unless he were con-
above the average age Of his
grade. so long as IT was only half
years delay. Still, the demand for the
schools has been SO insistent that Prin-
cipal Charles A. JOHNSON, who has been
in charge Of the work since its inau-
guration In 1906. determined this year to
a modified plan OF study and
meet the requirements of the readjusted
school, schedule more fully.

electrolytic detector. but It gets out Of
adjustment easily, and causes operators
much trouble and inconvenience. The
coherer type of detector was used during
the infancy OF wireless teles-aphy, but
IL was found to be sensitive to only very
strong waves, and. consequently. is
scarcely ever employed now. The most
efficient detectors are those OF the

as zincite and copper perites, carborun-

An act OF Parliament was obtained for
this purpose.
The town of Huddersfeld to-day has a
population OF 1l0,O05 and every inch of
soil upon which it stands is owned by
]. F. Rsmsden. who in the form of ground
rent levies upon it a yearly tribute so
regulated that every man. woman. and
child pays to him an average tax OF IS.
The municipal budget last year was
1H.43 pounds, so that the landowners
tax is actually ss7,S75 in excess Of the sum
demanded for municipal services.
Small wonder the Tory party. repre-
senting the big landowners, considers It
crime to suggest any change in con-
ditions so ideal to the one man who
counts in their eyes, and who Is pay
ing a mere nominal tax to the govern
ment until the new valuation of land
will come into force.

Close examination OF the above table
reveals a few facts of more than passing
significance. II is seen. for instance, that
Harvard and Amherst graduated more
students In 1902 than in 1872; that Bryn
Mawr. Rutgers. and Trinity made no ma
terial gains and that the decade brought
only normal growth to the University Of
Vermont, Swarthmore, Princeton. North
western. and Brown. and that Yale is the
only large private university to make any
substantial advance.
Some show Growth.
The most remarkable increase is that
Of the PENNSYLVANIA State College from
2S in 1eOe to 266 in 1872 II the institution
were only recently founded such growth
could be well understood. but that a COL
lege nearly sixty years old should so eN-
pand within a decade is truly wonderful.
Other large advances are shown to have
been made by the following: Allegheny.
The Washington herald., 1912-07-21
Few A. b. Degrees.

The two important things that come to
light on close scrutiny Of the preceding
table are the relative small proportion
that the A. BIS bear TO the whole grad
uate body and the falling off in several
cases since last year Of the number or
men taking the strictly academic course.
Pennsylvania State College. already re-
ferred to. has an arts department appar-
emily. but it graduated only seven men
this year and six last year. The colleges
total graduating class this year numbered
266. The percentage of Bachelors OF Arts
graduated by some Of the leading colleges
is as follows: Brown, 80: Colgate, 80; CO.
lumbia. 10: Harvard. 40: Indiana, IS; Le-
high. S; New York University, ,; North
western, 20; Ohio State, 2S; Princeton, g:
Rutgers, Is; Syracuse, s: Trinity. 50:
Tufts, L.; Union. Is; Illinois, 25: Maine, 3:
Michigan, IS; Missouri. IS; Pennsylvania.
4; Pittsburg. 6; Vermont, 5; Yale. 90
Such a result as this. deplorable as il
may be generally, should be particularly
gratifying TO Harvard which is shown to
have a larger proportion OF arts students
than any big university. From a strictly
academic standpoint the best showing
among the State universities is made by
Michigan. Other large institutions ap-
pearing in a favorable light are Prince
ton. Yale. Brown. and Illinois.
In summarizing the whole situation II
may be said with perfect confidence that
a careful consideration OF the academic
output of 1912, 1911, and 1902 shows these
three things:
That the number of men and women
graduating from college this year is
about Sc per cent more than IT was a
decade ago.
That the State colleges and publicly
supported universities are responsible for
most Of the increase.
That the number OF Bachelors Of Arts
is not growing to ony great extent, and
that technical. professional and practical
courses are daily becoming more popular.

an effective check on the onward rush
Of such universities as Michigan. Illinois.
Wisconsin. and California. Time was
wh' n the teaching at those institutions
was vastly inferior to that Of Harvard
and. Yale. But that condition no longer
obtains. Armed with overloaded treas
ures. gladly filled by willing legislatures
serving the will OF appreciative people.
the great State universities have come to
the East and pretty generally obtained
the professors they desired and needed
to make their faculty efficient. They
have established extension departments
and made publicity a business TO such an
extent that their fame has travelled far
and wide. They have appealed not only
to the men in their own States, but TO
prospective students in all parts of the
country. They have offered every con-
ceivable kind of teaching. and they have
been able to make their tuition fees low
enough to meet the pocketbook Of the
poor but Intellectually sturdy boy-the
kind that every college in the country Is
looking for.
Glamour of Tradition.
Then, again. the glamour Of tradition Is
not what II used TO be. An advancing
wave of materialism now keeps the
American boy from taking into considera-
ton the age OF a college and makes him
think only of the institution that will
give him the best education for the least
money. And the current notion-baseless
though IL may be-that many OF our en-
dowed universities are undemocrauc and
catering more to money than to brains
has also had its effect. And the sooner
that the justly famous private schools Of
the East. IN addition TO making the roads
10 their doors easier TO travel, let their
virtues be known to a new uniformed
public the sooner Will their own best In
terests be served.
Returning to the specific subject of the
Academic Output the table which fol-
lows is in the main self-explanatory.
Most of the important American colleges
and universities are represented therein;
a dozen more perhaps made no reply to
Inquiries addressed to them. But the
table is representative enough to serve
the purpose for which II was designed.
Any additions would probably only add
enough weight 10 the deduction already
drawn.

Doctors FearIes. in Japan.

From the London TitBta
japanese doctor never dreams of
asking a poor patient for a fee. When
ever a rich man calls in a doctor he
does not expect that he will receive a
bill for medical services; In fact. no
such thing as a doctors bill is known
In Japan. although nearly all modern
practices are in vogue there The strict
honesty of the people does not make it
necessary for the doctor to ask a fee.
When he had finished his visit to the
patient a present Is made to him, just
as much as the patient can afford. The
doctor then smiles, bows, thanks his
patient, and the transaction Is settled.
