FLOTSAM AND ETSAM FROM
WORLD OF AMATEUR SPORT
~ DANIEL.

College presidents. professors and ath-
letic directors from every section Of the
country will gather to-day at the Hotel
Aston for the annual convention Of the
National Collegiate Athletic Association.
A lot Of light will again be shed on the
sport situation among the colleges. but II
is doubtful II much Of that light will be
really new. The association Is a great
body and has done remarkable work in
the movement to purify intercollegiate
athletics.
However. II must be understood that
the association has practically no legis-
lative or mandatory powers Every
thing II accomplishes IL by suggestion.
The annual convention brings together a
body OF men the majority Of whom are
engaged In the life work Of developing
the youth through the upbuilding of his
physique and the training Of character
through clean participation in sport.
II seems a shame nat this association
cannot be converted into an organiza-
ton for even greater good-an associa-
tion with power to make rules and power
TO enforce them. with athletic ostracism
as the penalty for those colleges which
decline to adhere TO the standard.

letic Union and one is badly needed.
However. do not understand us as hold

Prof. q. A. GoodcnouSh. who repre-
scnts the University VI Illinois In the

Big Nine would gladly welcome Michigan
back in the fold. Michigan is highly de-
sirous Of returning. but 1t hates to eat
crow. It's old. associates wan 1t to re-
turn. but they will not breach The sub
jcct. However. the conference Is so ar
ranging matters as To let Michigan slip
In without n h%ullabaloo being raised
as to who initiated the return al the

II Michigan goes bach to the confer
snce 1t will rave TO adhere to the two
primary regulations OF the Big Nine
the absolute control of athletics by the
faculty and the abolition OF the train
ing table. Every college In the country
would do we'll to follow the conference
example in these matters.
Michigan Is telling very lonely. IL be-
walls the fact thai in every football al

HIGH COST Of LIVING
By Sheldon S. Cline.
Rural and Urban Populations.
No. Z.

The proportion of rural TO urban pop
ulation has a very direct and very vital
bearing on the cost of living. The
tion living in towns and cities the
greater the number of non-producers
who must be fed by the producers
Here again, in talking Of producers
and producers" we must pause to
get our meaning on straight. In the
article under the general heading of
"Producers and Consumers" it was
sought to show that all who contrib
uted, directly or indirectly. to the pro-
duction and distribution Of necessary
things were producers, while the idle
d nd those engaged in the making and
distribution of unnecessary things
were non-producers. In considering
the relations of rural and urban popu-
lations. however, We shall have TO
count as producers all those engaged
directly in producing things that come
from the soil. and all others will have
to he counted as producers.
The only available figures worth
while on the subject cf rural and urban
populations are those of the federal
census bureau, and they lack lot Of
being satisfactory for this particular
purpose The census bureau classes as
urban" all persons dwelling in towns
of 900 or more Inhabitants. and all
theirs as rural" 1t is manifestly true
that there are many persons living in
towns of less than $500 Inhabitants
who are not direct producers of soil
products, while in many larger towns
there arc direct producers-men who
have gardens and men who keep
chickens and cows, and even pigs
