AUeaage Intelligence OF 1
 College Students LoUer

l can learn from the faculty, it is thought that the work of the student body has not this year been as good as that of previous years; that contrary to the peoples expectations that the young men would be more purposeful and ear nest by reason of war experience, they seem to be less inclined to serious labor, and that an unusual proportion of stu dents had to be dropped because of the inferior quality of their work
 The report asserts that until two years ago the proportional increase by women in the college section of the university was gaining notably in the proportional increase in the number of men, but that in the last two years the proportional increase by men has been greater. Men, the report adds, usually are reluctant to continue in classes in which they are outnumbered by women.

St. Louis, December 1.-The average intelligence of college students is lower than that which prevailed some years ago, according to the annual report of Dr. Frederick A. Hall, chancellor of Washington university.
 This conclusion, the report explains, CO., incides with that of authorities in other educational institutions, as ascertained through correspondence. The number of college students has been increasing steadily, the report states.
 If the present growth of numbers is indicative of what may be expected in the near future,' continues the report, the colleges will have to watch care fully in order to prevent turning out lower type of graduate than that which has characterized colleges hitherto.

Less borrowing by member banks
from Federal Reserve Banks. the cur

borrowing and the liquidation OF long
standing non-essential loans were
recommended by officials Of the
Federal Reserve Board at a gather
ing OF reSerye bank officials and di-
rectors here yesterday.
The checking OF further expansion
and the bringing about OF a normal
and healthy liquidation without cur
failing essential production and with
out a shock to industry was the prob
lem that occupied the attention OF
the financial experts.
Figures submitted at the meeting
by the boards statistical division
showed that In the past six years

during the same period money in
actual circulation increased by about

ut Is evident" declared Governor
w. p. g. Harding. OF the Federal
Reserve Board. that the country can
not continue TO advance prices and
and wages. to curtail production, to
expand credits and to attempt to en-
rich itself by non-productive opera
tions and transactions without foster
ing discomfort and radicaIism. and
such a course, IL persisted in, will
eventually bring on a real crisis.
There is worldwide back OF
capital. and with calls upon the invest
ment market which cannot be met
there is an unprecedented demand for
bank credits. The fact must be recog-
nized that however desirable on gem
eral principals continued expansion OF
trade and industry may be, such de-
velopments must accommodate them
selves to the actual supply of capital
and credit available.
The solution of the problems con-
fronting us will require the cooper
alton OF all banks and the public.
Whatever personal sacrifices may be
necessary for the general economic
good should be made. The wartime
spirit to do things that are worth
while must be revived, and there
should be the fullest cooperation in
an effort to produce more, save more
and consume less.
while the problem of credit regu-
lation and control is national and
even International in its scope, yet in
the last analysis ii is merely an ag-
gregation of individual problems. and
the proper working out of the situation
must depend upon the public and
upon the banks which deal with the
public. The public must be made to
realize the necessity OF economy in
expenditures and in consequent de-
mands for banking credit. The banks
themselves are best able to impress
the Importance of this policy upon the
public"
