| Improvement in Southern, Colleges.
In. 1900 only three southern col
leges had standard requirements for
entrance; this year $50 announcer
standard admission requirements.
Thus Miss Elizabeth Avery Coulton'
secretary of the Southern Associa-
ton OF college Women. sums up the
advancement that has taken place in
higher education in the South since
800, in a report distributed by the
limited States Bureau of Education.
Not only in entrance require
ments, but also in libraries, labor
atores, buildings and equipment OF
all kinds, as we'll as the extremely
important matter of the training ana
ability of the faculty, Miss Coulton
notes marked Improvement. She at
tributes the advance chiefly to two
agencies, the Carnegie Foundation
for the Advancenient OF Teaching
and the General Education Board
The former did its most valuable
work through publications which re-
vealed,the wide variation in college
standards that prevailed in the
South, while the latter has been
especially helpful through the found
ing Of t3professorship of secondary
education to aid the high schools in
their relation to the colleges.
Together with the betterment in
entranee Requirements has come
decided Increase in the amount 81
college work represented by the de-
gree. In 1904, according to Miss
Couiton. the a. 3. of only two
southern colleges represented four
full wears OF college work, while by
1914 graduates of at least twenty
five coll eyes will have completed
four years OF standard college work.
Although emphatic in her declar-
alton that great Improvement mas
taken place, Miss Coulton declares
that much still remains to be done.
each of the 367 institutions. in the
South bearing the name college or
university" she says, firmly be-
Iieves that it is predestined to be-
come the leading Institution Tor
higher education in it's community.
Nevertheless, with all the education
boards, foundations, associations
commissions and conferences work
ing directly or Indirectly in behalf
of the southern college and the de-
velipment of it's efficiency, there re-
mains the hope that many sham col
leges may within the next ten or
twelve years be induced to stop con-
ferring degrees and become good pre-
paratory or industrial schools; that
others may die from lack OF patron
age. and that the righteous rem
nant' may thus be encouraged 20
contiue to strive after ever enlrag-
ening ideals OF standard and of ser
vice." - :

On the fourth of next month the lerisIature Of Alaska win meet. Un- fortunately one Of the members oi the new house has resigned, ana others have expressed intentions or resigning as soon as they can land something else that pays more. 't there are auy more patriots-for-eash Nho have in contemplation the use of the honorable place given them by the people, for the purpose Of boosting themselves into better jobs, We hope they will get their jobs and resign before the legislature is assembled in law making power.
 When the men who were elected Co this legislature went before the people last fall and asked for sup port. they entered into solemn and binding moral contract to as sume duties and make sacrifices for the general good. The people of Al aska trusted them and it they arc honorable men in the fine sense oi the term. they will no, betray the trust by using the suffrage Of Al askans as a stepping stone Go creep Into a more paying job.
 While admitting that everyone ha right Co better his condition, it he can do it without the sacrifice oi honesty and honor. we as firmly maintain that a political contract entered into Is as morally binding as a civil contract, and the man who would break the former, can, not be trusted to keep the latter
 When the gentleman from tho north sent in his resignation to tho governor, he was actuated by bust ness reasons no doubt, but th' fact remains that he has deceived his constituents and has shown thai a few dollars with him is paramount to patriotism or the good of th, general public His business probably no more pressing now thar hitherto. and had he wished t' personally conduct it at aJ times he had no right to go before tho people and ask their political sup port.
 It will be better for Alaska it all the cash patriots resign betore tho meeting og the legislature, because cash will have its influence upor them when they are able 10 really injure the country. The man who eoutemplates resigUing at he frs paying opportunity should resigT now and maintain his self respect to some extent
 The person who swaps off patriot ism for cash is not aCtuated by th' hfrh ideals which his politica platform preached, nor the htgt ideals which We insist on installing into the minds and consciousness o our children.

Leavenworth, Kan, May S.-Every-

one of the largest in the country. The
old furniture factory building has been
repaired, and. as the machinery is eX-

the date set by Warden Codding.
Superintendent Cline of the tWlne

the machinery, has been heard from IN
Boston. There he has bought some of
the machines which are to be used
here and expects to get others else
where. In Boston, until the Irvine trust

idle, however, and it was here that

Cain, Arkansas river island school
land "Squatter'' who claims Dodge
City's park, has intimated that his rea-
son for announcing recently that he
will charge admission to all entertain

secure revenge against the Southwest

according to Cain, the association Off

park The fact that the public laughs
at his claims to the park does not
daunt Cain and he insists he will make
a fortune this summer.

COUNTY EXPERIMENTING.
Reno Business Men Established Farm

Hutchinson, Kan, May S.-Twenty-

That is only part of the stuff that
is being set out at the demonstration
farm, west of the state fair grounds,
on the ten acre tract where the Reno
County Demonstration Farm associa-
ton is proving what can be done
with intensive farming methods
Seven cars of manure were shipped
in and spread on the ground, which in
itself took good deal Of time. A
careful account and record is being
kept of everything.
Quite a lot of experimental work
is being done, and this farming on
this tract will be of value to the en-
ire community.
The demonstration farm is a CO.
operative proposition financed by 100
men of Hutchinson and vicinity, to
make practical demonstrations of in
tensive farm methods. The results
are being watched with interest.

CANKER WORM WORKING.
Doing Great Damage to Fruit Trees
Spraying Is Effective.

SaIina, Kan, May S.-The canker
worm is destroying much of the fruit
trees in saline county and the dam
age extends to a certain extent all over
this section of Kansas.
J. w. Bean, who owns a farm at
Lindsborg, says that the worm has
totally destroyed all the young fruit
trees on his farm and that other farms
in his neighborhood are badly affected.
Prof A. w. Jones of the Wesleyan
says that the worm where it has not
been destroyed has entirely eaten up
the foliage of most of the fruit trees,
particularly the apple and cherry
trees The elm trees are also very
badly affected.
These worms can be killed by spray
ing the trees with Paris green or other
poisons at this season.

IF FAMILY WILL RETURN.
New Cambria Will Have Enough Resi-
dents for Third Glass City.

Salina, May S.-The board of coun-
ty commissioners is hearing testimony
on the petition of New Cambria to be
Incorporated as a third class city.
All of the evidence would seem to
indicate that the opposition of certain
residents of New Cambria is based on
the fact that the city has not the re-
quired population for incorporation.
The question arises as to whether the
family of four of August Schenewerk
who are away on a visit expect to re-
sumo as residents of New Cambria
Without this family the population of
New Cambria would only total 1919,
one less than is required of a city in
Kansas to incorporate.
