MANY STUDENTS AT PEOPLES
 UNIVERSITY

THE HAGUE, Netherlands, Nov. 27. The University Extension Move, ment has taken root in Holland. and The Hague in the form of a "Volks, or Peoples university, which proposes to throw open the doors of higher edu- cation to the slenderest purse.
 This movement early made its way in America, and has subsequently spread widely in Europe, The idea has been in the minds of Dutchmen for quarter of a century, and to some extent put into practice, but 1t took definite and concrete form when the first Dutch "Volks" University began its courses in the capital, Am sterdam, in 1913. This institution has proved a big success, and the war brought 1t yet more students, for many of those thrown out of employ ment entered the university.
 The Hague has now followed Am sterdam's example, and just inaugu rated its Peoples University. Seven teen hundred students have already been enrolled.

Nov. 27. - No sugar may now be sold in Sweden except upon presentation of a sugar card X stock taking throughout the kingdom has shown that some method of controlling the consumption is un- avoidable, and the card system pat termed on Germany's methods Of re- gulation, was decided on.

 The sugar shortage has been marked for some months. and has lately as sumed serious proportions.
