The Daily Story
A GAMBLER-BY ELIOT WAsHBURNE.


There are few persons living today
who knew the Mississippi three-quar-
tiers OF a century ago. At that time
the west-now the middle west to per-
sons living east-was springing for
ward like a long imbed boy to his
manhood. There were no railroads,
and the watercourses were in their
prime as avenues Of travel and trade.
There were great paddle wheel
steamers, always ready for a race with
each other and quite frequently burst
ing their boilers to win. The other
water vehicles on the Mississippi had
been in the early part OF the nine
teenth century the only means of get
ting persons or goods down the river.
They were never seen going north
ward. always southwark. The cur
rent. assisted by their long sweeps,
would carry them down but they
were not furnished with power TO take
them back again. On reaching their
destination they were broken up and
sold for lumber.
During the middle Of the century
these fiatboats, superseded by the

WORLD CONGRESS OF STUDENTS


The name Of Woodrow Wilson, pres

honorary committee on the eighth in
ternational congress Of students CCor-
da Fratres'D TO be held at Cornell uni
versity. Ithaca, y Y, Aug 20 TO Sept

the committee are: Governor William

other officers of many Of the leading
universities of the country.
The "Corda Frartres," or Interna-
tional Federation of Students, was
started in italy in 1898. and now has
affiliated organizations in many Euro
pean countries and in both North and
South America. The principal aim OF
the federation is ito support and

I hood among students" without regard
/ to their religious or political beliefs
/ At the last congress. held in Rome in
1911 the United States was selected
as the meeting place for 1913, and II
was determined to take up at that
time a plan for developing an ALIEN

but to the greater commercial and in
dustrial centers as well. All classes
of consumers profit by the advantage
Of better and more regular markets,
and consequently more staple prices.
THE people are the state" What
ever contributes to the welfare and
happiness of the people is a matter of
state concern. The state profits di-
rectly by the creation Of additional tax
able valuations both in country and
city, and by the increased volume of
business which results from the build
ing of roads, thus enhancing the state
revenues from other sources. All
classes of people profit by the increas-
ed purchasing power of producers on
farm and in factory, giving rise to larg-
er volumes of business and more gen
eral prosperity.
Formerly, when highway traffic was
confined to hOrse-drawn vehicles. the
range of daily travel rarely exceeded
% or 80 miles a day. Now, with auto
mobiles and motor trucks ten times
the distance is not unusual. This
means the bringing of commercial and
social interests closer together, and
the practical obliteration, so far as
road users are concerned, of local
lines of demarkation of political divi-
sions. In other words. the highway is
/ becoming more and more of interest to
been comprehended a score of years
| ago.
! With the advantages thus accTuing
! TO the state, and to the people as a
whole, in the same practical ratio as
TO the individual in front Of whose
farm It runs; with travel that is state
wide using the roads in constantly in
! creasing volume, it must be apparent
| that the people as whole. that is, the
state, should bear a fair and just pro
| portion of the cost.
! State aid in road building means
that the jewellers in cities pay their
share toward the cost of the pubic
improvement by which they profit. The
same course OF reasoning, carried to
its logical conclusion. involves the con
sideration of national cooperation in
road building. The enhancement OF
wealth and Of producing and conse
quent consuming capacity on the part
of the people constitutes prosperity
for the nation on account Of road i'm
provement.
In view, therefore, Of these facts
and the further fact that interstate
travel is developing with wonderful ra
pidity. federal cooperation in highway
building seems certain to be adopted
in the near future.

Six universities in Latin-American
countries were established before the
first one in the territory that after
wards became the United States, &C
cording to a recent bulletin of the
bureau of education. The universities
Of Mexico and Lima were founded in
1851; Santo Domingo, 1858; Bogota,
1872: Cordoba 1913, and Sucre, 1923.
Just as in colonial New England,
the teaching of theology was the orig
inal purpose OF the universities in
Spanish America The church was the
prime mover in their establishment.
Civil and canon law were both taught,
but the latter predominated. There
was usually a professorship Of medi-
cine in these universities, but the most
important faculty was that Of theo-
logy. These colonial universities were
also clerical in their government; the
professors we're almost exclusively
members of the priesthood.
Another group Of Latin-American
universities sprang into existence in
the era Of independence, typifying a
developing sense of national unity
| Among such are the university OF
Buenos Aires (1S2D, the University OF
Trujillo in Peru QS3D, the Univers
ity of Arequipa C1835), and the in
stitution at Medellin in Colombia
/ 1922. In Brazil the university idea
did not at first find favor; instead
1 independent professional schools fol-
medicine and law were established.

LATIN-AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES

In modern times there has been
remarkable development of higher edu-
cation in Spanish-American countries.
There is an unmistakable tendency
in Latin-America to increase the num-
Der of higher educational institutions, 8"
says DR.. E. E. Brandon, author of the
bulletin. although conditions econo-
mic and otherwise do not always war
rant the new foundations, New cen
tiers Of population are Jealous to com
plete their attractiveness by adding a
university to their civic advantages.
The national barriers that divide many
South American countries into distinct
regions and the very great Difficult
ties Of travel and communication be-
tween the capital and the provinces
have sometimes led to the establish
ment Of minor universities when the
total university population and the
financial conditions OF the country
we're inadequate to support more than
one
The support of these provincial uni
versities is a severe burden on the
national treasury and presents disad.
vantages of an educational order, but
the regions they serve are remote from
the chief university center of theiI
respective countries and their suppress
sion would entail great hardship on
the youth that frequent them. Ir
MANY cases il would be a natiOna
misfortune"

stormy sea,
And the highway leading to 1t from dread
obstacles is free:
No wild beasts crouch low to Brighten

And the burdens that they carry are all
easy ones to bear.
You may start upon that highway, leav-

Having not care to fret you, not an en-

You will find the inns all spacious and the

There will be cheering promise borne
