RADICAL CHANGES IN
LONDON UNIVERSITY ADVISED

London.-The final report of the
royal commission on the university
educa ton of London has just been
issued as a blue book It is a volum
inous document consisting of over
200 folio pages of printed matter. The
royal commission was appointed in
February, 1909, and has thus been
sitting for over four years. 1t con
sisted OF Viscount Haldane, Viscount
Miner. Sir Robert Romer. Sir Rob-
ert Morant. Laurence Currie. Sir Will
liam Mccormick, Mr. sargant, and
Mrs. Creighton.
The commissioners apparently have
succeeded in reducing the work they
were required to do to finding the an
swer to two broad questions. How
does the present organization Of the
University of London work? And
what provision ought to be made in
London for university teaching and
research?
The commission reported that they
considered the whole organization of
the university fundamentally defec-
tive. The two main defects appear to
them to be first, the present relations
Of the internal and external sides OF
the university. Second, the existing
combinations, in the university. of a
large number of institutions different
| ly related to it and of different edu-
cational standards and aims. They
advance many proposals, which they
consider necessary to bring to an enc
the unsatisfactory state of affairs
and to make proper provision in Lon.

search.

CUTTING 2ND LOSES
GAME FOR LA GRANDE

Walla Walla June 11-Neglecting
to touch second base after polling out
a three-bagger at the opening of the
sixth inning, probably cost Fitchner
his own game yesterday. for the score
would have been tied. and since the
Bears were unable to do anything
against his delivery, the chances IA
vOred the Spuds.
1t was the fastest game ever played
in Wana Walla both teams and
pitchers working like machines, while
the work of Fitchner was remarkable.
He passed through the Bear batting
order like Motor Cycle Mike on his
tour of the world. obtaining eleven
sJrikeouts. passing but one man to
first, and allowing but three wee hits
Welsh worked in almost equally as
sood form but his support was a
trifle stronger and no scratch hits got
through Lundstrum, Childers and Da-
Wis figuring in several fast plays.
Fitchner did his most splendid work
in the eighth when he retired the side
on strikeouts, whiting Brown with
TWO on and Harmon and Childers with
the bases fun. Johnson and Welsh

WOMAN'S TOLL IN
GERMANY Is VIEWED

Berlin, Ger-The German working
woman is a factor which has to be
considered nowadays, and a review of
the spheres in which her work lies
is interesting. There are about g.
100000 women earning their own
living in Germany, the largest in
crease in number being in industry,
commerce and trade.
In agriculture, women have always
been employed, but today there are
many farms, poultry and fruit farms,
as well as market gardens entirely
managed by women, and 6.593.OOO
women, as against 2.753, 900 in 1895.

present time
The facilities offered by the state to
women for preparatory training are
invaluable. Girls of all classes, the
higher as we'll as the middle and low
er classes, avail themselves of millin-
cry and dressmaking courses. which
