Mccormick Makes Statement.

Editor Sentinel.
A jocular remark made by Mr.. M.
Mckibben to one of the officers of the
election at Grenada prompted me to
make a statement in an unguarded
moment which might iniure Mr.. Nc
Kibben, something entirely foreign to
my nature and a thing | would dislike
very much to do. Mr. Mckibben is my
friend and am sure that he would do
nothing unbecoming in a gentleman
and an honest man about any matter
and the purpose of this article is to set
him right in the minds of any who may
chance TO hear of what | innocently
stated. Both of my opponents treated
me with every consideration and cour-
tesy and | am sure that the primary
was honesty conducted in every detail.
am under very great obligations to
the people of the county for many
kndnesses and for the very generous
support given me. Ii shall BE- my aim
to live so that my friends and support
ers may never have cause TO regret
what they did for me Thanking you

College Education.

There were 2l6, 493 students in col
leges, universities and chronological
schools in 1914, according to the annual
report of the commission of education,
just issued. This is an increase of H., :
262 over 1918. The bureaus list for
1914 includes SGT institutions, decrease
of 20 over the preceding year. States
or municipalities control SO of the col:
leges; private corporations control 474
Men still outnumber women in higher
education; there were l39,3 ,373 men in
1914 and II, ,120 women, as compared
with 128, 644 men and 1887 women in
1913. Despite rising standards of ad-
mission and graduation, college enroll
ment has more than tripled since 1890.
The dominant note of the year in
higher education, according to the re-
port, was concentration, both in inter-
nal organization and in relation to state
authority. The movement in the di-
rection of authoritative classification
gained momentum during the year,
chiefly through the activities of several
voluntary associations. The junior COL
lege movement has reached the point
where several states notably Wiscon-
sin, Missouri, Virginia. and Idaho
have gone onorecord as definitely recog-
nizing junior colleges in the educa-
tionsl system of the state. The Mu-
nicipal University of Akron, Ohio. was
added to the list of city universities,
and the new Association.
Degrees conferred by colleges and
universities included 26. 533 baccalau-
reate, 5,248 graduate. and 749 honors
Urban Universities, established in
the fall of 1914, lends emphasis to this
municpal-university development.
The degree of doctor of philosophy
was conferred as the result of exami
nation by as institutions on 446 mer
and 73 women.
