In the exhibition arranged by Pro-
fessor Starr there is the best collec-
ton Of books and printed matter re-
lating to Liberia that has ever been
brought together at one time. Besides
the books written about the country
by strangers and scientific men travel
ing in the country, there are books
and pamphlets printed in Liberia and
written by Liberians on the politics,
government, history and religion Of
their own country. There are files Of
the principal Liberian newspapers and
magazines, the Liberian Register, the
African League, Liberia Times, Liberia
Recorder, the Guide and missionary
paper, Liberia and West Africa.
A whole case is devoted to the ac-
tivities Of the missions in Liberia In
the exhibit the Protestant Episcopal,
the Methodist Episcopal, the African
Methodist Episcopal, the Lutheran and
the Christian missions are represented.
They have been especially active In
providing schools and much needed
education for the natives. Among the
notable mission schools are Epiphany
hall. under the direction Of the Prot
estant Episcopal church, and the Col
lege Of West Africa, a Methodist Epis-
copal school. located at Monrovia. At
Epiphany hall there is farm and cof-
fee plantation connected with the
school. and four hours Of practical
agriculture and horticulture are re-

Closely following the action OF the
senate in favor of a substantial ap-
preparation for continuing the work
on the new Central high school build
ing. and for the purchase Of site
for the new Eastern High school.
comes the news that the work of con-
structjng a new high school building
for colored pupils will probably be
begun next fall, says the Washington
Star. Congress last July having ap-
propriated $4,000 toward the con-
struction OF this building. the author
lied cost OF which is to be $4,000, the
announcement is now made that the
plans for the proposed structure are
practically complete.
The pressing need for a new build
ing for the colored high school is
shown In the statement that the struc-
ture now in use was built to accom-
modate 450 pupils; that its present
enrolment is more than S0O and that
Libraries, study halls and other rooms
have been pressed into service as
classrooms, though designed for other
purposes. The efficiency of this
school has suffered somewhat for a
long time because of its crowded con-
dition. The plans for the new build
ing show a provision of space for
1,400 pupils, nearly double the present
enrolment of the school. This appears
TO be looking well into the future, but
the building will not be completed un-
Ill the spring OF 1916, and the school
population Of Washington is increas-
ing rapidly. With the facilities and
attractions of the new high school
buildings, a marked increase in the
high school enrolment may be looked
for.

WORLD TO PLANT
GREATEST CROP
Grain Area for 1915 to Be Larg-
est in History.
CONDITIONS FAVOR SEEDING
limited States Statistical Expert Says
War Will Demand the Greatest
Crop the World Has Ever
Produced.

Washington. Nov. 26.-The greatest
wheat area in the worlds history will
be planted for the 1915 harvest as a
result of the European war, in the
opinion of Charles M. Daugherty,
statistical expert of the department Of
agriculture.
las a result of the war in Europe
a worldwide tendency exists to in
crease the acreage of wheat. Doubt
less the most extensive area in the
history of the world will be seeded
during the present autumn and COM
ing spring.
"A prospective heavy demand for
this important food grain by the i'm
porting countries of western Europe
is likely, if seeding conditions favor.
to give extraordinary stimulus to
sowing of both winter and spring va
rieties in the two great exporting
countries of North America, and to
those sowings now being finished
under suspicious circumstances in
British India
in the southern hemisphere seed
ing was completed before the war
began, and the effect of present eco
nomic conditions upon extension Of
areas there will be manifested only in
the spring and summer of 1915.
In Europe, where ordinarily over
one-half of the worlds wheat is pro-
duced, the indications are that all
available labor resources, in both neu-
trail and cOntending nations, will be
utilized In Italy 100000 acres, it is
said will be added to the crop
In the contending. countries ex-
traordinary efforts are being exerted
in autumn seeding. The services of
women and children, men exempt from
military service, refugees, prisoners OF
war and soldiers temporarily relieved
from the ranks, are being utilized in
the fields as occasions permit and re-
Quire.
In western Europe, particularly in
England and France, the autumn
sOwings of wheat are somewhat in
arrears. Reports from Germany and
other countries of central Europe indi-
cate that seeding operations have been
carried on with activity"
