action is affirmed by the supreme

though every move by the New Eng.
land colleges during the last three
years in the way of changes in en-
trance requirements was made with a
view to lowering the bars for the bow
from the western high school to enter
the big Eastern university, the proper.
ton OF western students is dropping,
and Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth and
the other big New England institutions
will soon be filled almost entirely by
natives. The boys from the west still
go east, but the number is not increas.

1t is so much easier for the Illinois,
or Michigan, or Wisconsin high school
graduate to enter his State university
than it is for him to enter the New

western institutions are growing at
an enormous rate.
