A few years ago much stress was aid
upon that class of education which was
finished abroad" but ''abroad'' APP
pears to have heen moved from Europe
to the United States. 1t is shown by
official figures that the United States
furnished only 35l students for German
Finishing schools" and other educa-
tional institutions in 1912. OF these
1913 were from northern states and
tWenty-thTee from southern states. The
number Of foreign students enrolled at
275 American universities, colleges and
archaeological schools in the year 1913
lot only reached tile surprising total of
1922 but this was an actual increase
OF 577 owe 1911. Travellers upon tue
boats going to, or coming from, South
America, are impressed with the num-
Der OF young men whose mission TO the
United States concerns the matter of
their education. These young men
after graduation, have proven their
benefit to the foreign trade of the
United States thru theNdemand they
have created for the American articles
to which they have become accustomed.
aud i'll their business and official life
they quite universally specify American
equipment fOl foreign enterprises.
There are 100 foreign students en-
rolled i'll the under graduate and grad
uate classes of arts and sciences in the
United States. The next lnrgest num-
Der is i'll courses i'll engineering, SOL.
Medicine follows with 339; 3O3 in
dentistry, 275 i'll agriculture, and 256
theology.
Canada sent 653 students; China, 594;
Japan, 1856; Mexico 223; Great Britain
and Ireland, 2I2; Cuba, 200; India, 1862;
Finland; I24; Germany, I22. Every
Latin-American county except French
Guiana has representatives in this group
OF foreign students. The numbers
range from tW in the case of Uruguay
and Paraguay thru 43 for Argentina,
1I3 for Brazil, to the Mexican total of
223.

What Sanitation Can Do

1t was freely predicted, when the
United States troops landed at Vera
Cruz, that as soon as hot weather
came yellow fever OF some other dis
eases would break out. Yet tile
troops have already been subjected to
the strain OF hot, stuffy, sitting wealth
er, %enervating 10 a degree unknown in
any American city. Yet there has
been no unusual disease.
1t is the story of Panama owe again.
By the cleaning up of the refuse. puri-
flying of water supplies and elimina-
ting of mosquitoes, ETC., any place on
earth a be made wholesome.
Yet while this triumph of science is
being accomplished, in a most unfayor-
able spot, dealing with the ignorant.
unprogressive Mexicans, in our intelli-
gent country there will be plenty of
preventable disease this summer.
Many people will come home from
SIMMER hotels bearing The germs of
typhoid. Many children will have
scarlet fever from milk cnntaminati NJ.
And all these losses CAN be avoided, if
beal DIS ct health will but do their duty
and il the public will co 0perate.-Wil-

Our Banking System in South
America

One feature of the new banking sys-
ten is expected to prove Of the highest
advantage, for it permits the establish
ment of branch banks in foreign
countries. This has long been desired
because Of the greatest obstacles to ex-
tending our foreign trade and especial
ly our Latin American trade has been
because practically all financial ar
rangements have had to be made thru
London exchanges and on terms not
always satisfactory. To remedy this
condition many agencies have been
established i'll this country, especially
i'll New York, which act in a banking
capacity for foreign trade, but at great
expense.
1t is now proposed to have extensive
branch banks III all South American
countries and preliminary arrangements
are made for those III Rio de Jauero
and in BuenOs Ayres, while others are
to follow if the Genital Reserve Board
permits. These will be able to dis
count the paper of well-known firms in
their vicinity and thus make interna-
tional trade much easier. Practically
all Latin-AmelicaL trade is. based on
time notes-generally for a year--and
under conditions which do not obtain
in this country. If the South Ameri-
cal importer CAN discount his paper in
local banks he can get his goods much
more cheaply than under existing con-
ditions and our trade should increase.
Today a great portion of our South
American trade is handled exclusively
thru New York agents, who charge
heavy commissions as well as interest,
while the matter of exchange is ALI
important factor. If We have Ameri-
can banks i'll the South American
countries the commissions will disap-
pear and the exchange will he a narrow
margin. We are told that all South
Americans hate this country, but Ger
tainly not TO the extent of boycotting
our trade if they can get fiom us
cheaper and better commodities. In
fact, our banks might taln out to be
missionaries of good understanding
between the two continents.-Inquirer.

People going down two abreast, when
they came TO the winders they would

The height of ceiling, thickness Of

other people as we'll as themselves
from stepping downward thus causing

enough extra people to fill all the va

After many public hearings and con-
ferences and much correspondence the
general principles here laid down were
accepted by the commission, and 1t
proceeded to frame legislation to make
these principles effective. At this stage
of the proceedings liberties began to be
taken with the figures which the eX-
perts had submitted.
They arbitrarily decided that the
capacity Of the stairway of a building
ten feet between floors" single file
width. would be fourteen, and for every
sixteen inches above ten feet height be-
tween floors they would allow one
extra person, making fifteen people, or
an increase of 30 per cent above the
figures submitted by the experts, and
