of many reasons may be her natural
curiosity to see everything through to
the bitter end. She's game little

lean people is the beautiful care they
take of their children" The speaker,
Madame Agathe Barsescu. has brought
great days of rejoicing to the little
Rumanan colony on the East Side. She
is their country's greatest tragedienne,
intimate friend and confederate of Car
men Sylvia.
Il look with wonder or the care and
attention that is given them from their
earliest childhood ! see your schools
and the way you make opportunities
for them, and each time visit my own
people It all revolts me-"

its walls perhaps the most emotionally
vibrant audience of any in New York.

COLLEGE ENROLMENT IN
1914 SHOWED GAIN
Women Still Outnumbered Z"
Men-Increase Is 7 Per Cent.

Washington, Aug. 6.-An increase Of
nearly 7 per cent in the number of
students in American colleges, univer-
sites and chronological schools in 1914
over the previous year is shown in the
annual report of the Federal Commits
sioner of Education. The figures are
PIG, 493, compared with POP, 23l in 1913.
In higher education there were $780,
1913 men and 77,120 women in 1914.
compared with l28,644 men and 1881
women in 1913. College enrolment has
more than tripled since 1890.
Benefactions totalled S26,67C,0l7, an
increase of about S2,OO0,000 State and
municipal appropriations grew from
s9,649 $40 in 1905 TO S23. 40O.540 in 1874.
while fees for tuition and other edu-
cational services increased from Sl5,

work Of young painters which was TO

SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY

"The community has repudiated the
most intolerable abuses-the dark. un-
ventilated rooms, the apartments with
out toilets or running water-but we
have touched the problem of over
crowdng.
Fewer Factories the Solution.
Manhattan seems almost hopeless.
II we could prevent the establishment
of any more factories south of Four
teenth Street il would mean more to
the lower East Side in health, decency
and family life than almost any other
possible reform. But is that possible ?
Will legislators and courts regard such
a restriction as a legitimate use of the
police power of the state? Perhaps
women's influence may accomplish
that.
Then there's the possibility Of ex-
cess condemnation-of the city buy
ing more land than il actually needs
when it lays out park. Thus the inv
park. resulting from the city's invest
ment In breathing space for it's people,
would 60 back to the city itself and
help pay for more parks.
Suburbs Are the City's Hope.
But all this would accomplish rela-
lively little The real hope of the city
is in its suburbs. They have not been
spoiled yet. Perhaps we can keep them
from being spoiled and educate people
to live in them.
Chicago requires all buildings over
three stories in height to be fireproof.
That's one way TO prevent six story
houses from darkening peoples lives
After all, if we really want better
houses for ourselves and everybody
else we'll get them. That's the beauty
of a Democracy. The important thing
Is for US to know what we want and
get together.
Offices Well ventilated-Why Not
Homes?
"Women should insist upon having
their homes as light, as we'll venti-
lated and as conveniently arranged as
men are having their Office buildings.
We're slipping back to the condi-
lions of the women on the farm, who
used their old washtubs long after
their husbands had moving machines"
