COLLEGES PROFITS FROM WAR

The year before the war there were 139,000 students in American col- leges and universities. Last year there were 180,000, and this year, if early registration reports prove ac- curate, there will be close to quarter million.
 Various factors have contributed to this enormous increase in the num- Der of college students. For one thing, we are still taking up the slack of the war years. Even the abnor- maj demand for labor has not pre- vented the returned soldier who had been in college from going back to his alma mater. What is most im- portant is that the returned college soldiers are staying in college to the end of the course or more generally than in the days before the war. Old CT more mature, with little better notion of the cultural, value of col lege training, they are remaining un- til graduation day.
 But by no means all of the enor- nous attendance this year is due to war recovery. There are many men soldiers and others-who would never gone to college at all except for the war experience. Say what we will about the student army training

corps, through it thousands of young men came in touch with college life who never would have had the chance otherwise.
 With women students motives near ly as powerful have operated Widen ing the door of economic and political opportunity for women has made thousands look forward to a college education who would otherwise have been content to teach or stay at home.
 The rush to the colleges would have been impossible but for another notable educational development-the public high school. The number of college prospects is necessarily Him. ited by the number of those who have had the preparatory training. The 22,000 high school graduates of 1890 had increased to 225,000 in 1918, and with nearly 2,0O0,000 students in high schools this fall it is clear that the present rush to the colleges is fore running.-New York Evening Post.

For some time the public has been advised that the schools of the state are confronting a crisis. It has been shown that the funds available are wholly inadequate to conduct the ed ucationa institutions as they should be, particularly is this true of the great public school system. Patriot ic citizens everywhere are raliying to the support of the schools, for there is no cause that makes a greater ap- peal, than that of the proper train ing of the young for citizenship. That predictions of distress were not eX- aggerated is proven by the fact that the schools in several localities are actually closing down for want of funds With exhausted treasuries and increased demands for salaries and operating expenses, many schools find themselves unable to continue. This emergency is being overcome in some localities by voluntary increases in school taxation, but this is not sui fieient in every case to meet present needs. There must be general awakening throughout the state, if the schools are to be saved from se- rious difficulties.
