sites in the United States and foreign

funds for this purpose which may be
appropriate ted or accepted by Congress-"
Of Particular Local Interest.
The people of the District are more
particularly interested in that part of
the proposed bill which. confers ON the
proposed university board specified ad-
ministrative powers over the degree
granting institutions which Congress
has chartered or which are organized
under the general incorporation law
contained in the Distict code. or which
carry on work in the District under
foreign charters. The proposed board
is authorized to establish "classifica-
tions, definitions, requirements or stand
ards for such institutions, to act as
reiator in quo Warranto proceedings
against any such institution which has
done acts subjecting it to forfeiture of
its franchises, to supervise ana ap-
prove, or diSapprove, all new lncorPo-
rations of institutions claiming power
to give degrees. to approve or dlsap-
prove consolidation or merger OF inSti-
tutions and to proceed against foreiS n
degree granting institutions by injunc-
ton in case they abuse the degree
granting power.
III the Dill becomes a law II is ps-
lieved that it will entirely remove the
reproach under which the District has
labored for many years, of being a CEN
ter for the establishment of fake" col
leges and universities, and at the same
time will strengthen the institutions of
the District which maintain proper
standards.
The final section of the bill requires
the board to report annually to the
Secretary of the Interior. making
such recommendations as it may deem
proper for carrying into effect the pur-
poses of this act" This power of max
ing these recommendations is intended
to so inform Congress and the people
concerning the results of the boards
study and experience. that Congress
may be enabled gradually to develop
the board into co-ordinative and ele-
vative advisory influence for all the in

Get Il First..Not Last;

When a cold grips your system It
is convincing proof that your condi-
ton is weakened-remembe that.
It Is risky indeed to simply trust
your strength to throw 1t off, be-
cause neglected colds have brought
more serious sickness than any
other one thing, while weakening
cathartics and stimulating syrups
are often depressing and dangerous.
The one best treatment for any
cold-the one so often relied on
when others fail, is the powerful
blood -nourishment in Scott's Emul-
sion, which feeds the very sources
OF bodily strength to suppress the
present cold and generate strength
( to thwart further sickness.

from alcohol and injurious drugs.

question of a local supervising board
versus a national board, with power
of local supervision. Its conclusion was
in favor of the national board, for the
reason above stated. The powers given
to the university board in the proposed
bin were formulated after a careful
study of the published hearings before
the House committee on education at
the last session of Congress on the ma
iional university bill drafted by the
National Association of State CniVer-
stiles. A favorable reception has al
ready been accorded to the bill by edu-
Gators. 1t is hoped by those interested
in education in the United States that
the plan proposed may serve to recon
cile the interests of the state and pri-
yate universities as well as those of
the District institutions.

Not a National University.

2 The university board contemplated by
the bill is not national university in
the ordinary sense. 1t may be said to
be a substitute for a national univer-
sity or a national university in new
and enlarged sense. Such a board could.
and doubtless would, preside over the
colleges and universities of the Dis
trict without friction and for the good
of all of them. A purely local board
as a supervising agency of our local
institutions of higher learning would
be inconsistent with the dignity OF
these institutions.
The committee on universities of the
Board of Trade carefully considered the

Duties of National Scope.

The proposed board is to have cer-
tain duties which are of a national
character. 1t is also to exercise GER
tain administrative powers over the in
stitutions of higher learning in the
District, so as to maintain proper
standards for granting degrees. The
first three paragraphs specifying the
powers of national interest are as fol-
lows:
"(a) To inquire into the scientific
operations of the government, and rec
ommend to the President, from time to
time. measures for utilizing for edu-
cational or research purposes such
scientific operations and the govern
mental facilities connected Herewith ;
"Cb) To advise and direct adult re-
search students, having such qualiti-
board, in the use of such governmental
operations and facilities, under the
limitations provided by law or by
executive regulation:
"(c) To organize and carry on any
postgraduate teaching and research
work for which Congress may here
after appropriate or accept funds"
These tentative and discretionary
powers would doubtless be used by the

and sane development of a co-ordi-
