RULES FOR RrGHr DRIVING.

RULES FUR RIGHT DR1VlNG.
Probably 30 per cent of the acct

rules. The state law provides that all
vehicles shall keep to the right Of the
center OF the road or street, meaning
the right hand side Of the center,
though this OF course Is not to be ex-
pected on country roads where there is
but one track In turning into another
road or street to the left the vehicle
must pass the center Of the intersec-
ton OF the roads or streets before
making the turn In turning to q road
or street to the right simply keep to
the right, making the short turn. The
law requires that when the driver of
a vehicle wishes to pass one ahead
moving at q slower speed he shall give
warning and the driver ahead shall
turn to the right, allowing the driver
behind to pass on the left II the dri-
yer ahead does not give the road he

seem to think that the law and ordi-
nances apply solely to automobiles and
other motor driven vehicles, but such
1s not the case. They apply to all
classes of vehicles, horse drawn or
motor driven, and the fact that some
one else violates them is no excuse for
your doing the same thing. Sanity in

FOREIGN STUDENTS AND THE US

FOREIGN STUDENTS AND THE Us
Convinced that one of the results
of the present European war Will be
to interest foreign students in Oppor-
tunities for education in the United
States, DIR. p. p. Claxton. United States
commissioner Of education, has auth
orized the immediate preparation and
publication of q special bulletin des-
cribing. for the use of foreign students
the facilities for professional and col
legiate study In higher institutions OF
learning in this country. The bulletin
will be printed in several languages.
This Is Americas opportunity, de-
clares Commissioner Claxton. Thou
sands of students who have been at
obliged to look elsewhere for higher
education, not only this year, but per-
haps for years to come. Many foreign
students are already coming TO us
many more will come as the result. d.
rect and indirect, of present events.
I'VE have now a supreme oppor-
tunity to demonstrate our capacity for
Intellectual leadership. Whether the
war continues three months or three
years, our opportunities and obliga-
lions to take the lead in education and
civilization will be the same. and
America should respond by offering
the best opportunity in the world for
her own students and for those who
may come from other countries
In the case of South America this
student migration will be facilitated by
the opportune opening Of the Panama
canal. students from the western
coast of the South America will find
it alluringly convenient to go via the
canal to educational centers in the
United States.
within the last two decades the in
crease in opportunity for graduate
study and research, and for profess
sional and technical education has
been very remarkable. much greater
than most people even in America
realize. The recent raising OF stand
ards and the better equipment of medi-
cal schools, the large endowments and
