EDUCATION IS
 STILL PRIVILEGE

Madrid, Nov. 17-Education in Spain continues to be a privilege of the people of fortune, declares the newspaper La Libertad. This was evoked by the announcement that the present cabinet had stopped the first effort to open universities to the poorer people by annulling an ap- propriation of 500, 900, peSetaS by a previous Liberal cabinet to furnish scholarships for needy students in the higher schools.
 The writer endeavors to show in the newspaper that universities are occupied largely by students who have no desire for knowledge or who are incapable of acquiring it while pupils of exceptional talent in the lower schools are unable to gain ad- mission to the universities because of the cost of education and are com pelled to work in the factories. The paper points out that in this way the intellect of these bright students is being lost to the Spanish nation.
