preparations should occur in San Fran

the strongest labor union town in Amer

The Outlook for
American Colleges
ftTNOR the last three years" writes
w. f. Aughinbaugh in "Leslie's

<fTNOR the last three years." writes
W. f. Aughinbaugh in "Leslie's
Weekly" the German CONNER
eial high schools have been giving
more time to courses in overseas
trading. The school in Berlin for 1857
offers to the student one hundred and fir
teen separate new branches Of instruction,
while the University of Berlin is giving
pinety-four additional subjects in the same
line. In all of these Institutes of learning,
languages, especially Russian, Spanish,
Portuguese. Polish, Arabic, Turkish, Slav-
ish and Chinese, have been receiving spe-
tfal attention, for conditions at present in
dictate that export trade latter the war;
may expand where these tongues prevail.
Shipping. banking, foreign exchange, in
eurance, foreign geography, custom house
procedure, organization, business admins
tration foreign advertising, advertising
with motion pictures and cooperative buy
ing and selling are some of the subjects
which have been amplifed."
While it is doubtless unfair to compare
the American college, now commencing its
fall term, with the German commercial
high school," news of college openings in
this country contrasts strangely with that
reported from across the water. First Of
all, there is no evidence of marked in
crease in the study of commercial sub
jects nor any notable tendency to pre-
pare for after-the-war trade compe-
tition, as the above quotation clearly
indicates. Perhaps the foremost topic in
American collegiate circles this fall is that
Of decreased attendance. Among the mems
schools of the East and New England
decrease of 10 to 40 per cent is announced
The decrease is less further West, but it
appears that except for technical schools
the war has laid its mark heavily on COL
1ege attendance this fall.

"Siucc one of the stock arguments against

for such measure, and the close OF the war
would see the beginning OF an Asiatic problem
in this country that would destroy all that
had thus far been laborously accomplished
in the way Of good understanding between
America and Japan and China. We would
lave millions of Chinese flooding our Pacihc

The Highest Decrease Appears
1 Among Upper Class Men

THE two upper years appear to suffer
most, more men from these classes being
Subject to the draft or fitted to assume
soldier responsibilities. Harvard has q
senior class of 100 against normal 700.
To offset the loss, unusual efforts have
been made to recruit large freshman
classes the country over. Fraternities face
the alternative of giving up their houses
or letting rooms to outsiders. Even in the
ranks of the instructors many gaps appear
where men are absent on military service
or working for the government. Student
publications have also been suspended,
owing to lack of support and absence of
The older men formerly in charge.
A marked increase in the number of
women students is another general phe-
nomenon, especially at the women's COL
leges. More startling, however, is the ad-
mission for the first time of women to the
Harvard Medical School. Columbia Uni
versity also threatens to become womens
school.
Athletics will suffer more in the East
than further West, judging from reports,
Harvard will not meet Yale on the grid
iron for the first time in generation, but
tntramural athletics will be encouraged,
and possibly scattering benefit games will
be held if the badly depleted athletic bodies
Of the various Eastern universities are re-
organized. But few athletes of renown are
returning to school this winter, so that al
most wholly new teams will have to be de-
Seloped.
The war is going to have good effect
On the college in general, however, in the
opinion of some newspapers. 1.-THE New
York Evening Post" sees students going to
college this winter preparing themselves
more than ever for national service
Colleges to-day, in contrast with those Of
Civil War days, "are evincing a disposi-
Zion to be satisfied with nothing less than
khe employment Of their entire resources in
$he undertaking upon which the nation has
entered"

Nv feeding Out the Undesirable,
wv Insincere Students

\ To "The Kansas City Journal" "the act
Gal effect of the war on the college is not
30 destroy it and its work, but to weed out
the undesirable, insincere students. This
does not imply that only the insincere stu
dents have quit school to go TO war, but it
does impress the fact that the men who
tave stayed in college are there with real
purpose in view" Moreover, THE Jour
nap halls with joy the relegation of sports
TO the background and the new emphasis
laid on training in technical knowledge. 1t
says:
Engineering, chemistry. medicine, foreign
languages and history must be emphasized at
this time TO prepare the men and women for
service in war and in the period of recon-
struction that follows Stress must be laid on
special subjects, such as first aid, nursing,
bandage making, knitting and domestic sci
ence And this is actually the attitude which
colleges throughout the country are taking"
Incidentally, it viii be hard winter for
the college that depends, as do many in the
East, upon tuition Of students for its sup
port. With state-supported institutions
the decrease in the number of students, on
the other hand. will make possible needed
additions in the way of salaries and i'm
provements.

Mr.. James Reeves. The deceased re-

him, and the excitement brought on
an attack of apoplexy, which he sue
cumbed to without ever gaining con-
