was planned for Friday night. Thomas
was arrested Friday night, but Robin

show up at Brewton, Robinson says
that he started to come back to Pen

COLLEGE BOYS
 ENROLLING AT
 RECORD RATE

NEW YORK. Oct. 23 (by Associat- ed Press. )-American youths enter ing college have increased in num- bers at record rate during the past six years and if the proportion- ate growth is continued to 1850 there will be 1,13S,OO0 students in 21O institutions where 294,000 were enrolled last year. These figures. compiled by the institute for public service. have raised the question of where the money needed to edu- cate these large groups will come from.
 Julius H. Barnes. chairman of the institute. found in a study of the fig tres compiled that this years in crease in the number of students enrolled in the colleges has set a new record.
 Colleges which in 1914 had 1S700O students and last year 294,o0o Will enroll All OOO in 1880 and S31.0oO in 1850. if they continue the same number increase each year; a report of the institute states. But. if they grow at the average percentage rate of the last six years, they will have 659.OOO students in 1880 and l. 13S.OO0 twenty years later.
 Taking the lower estimate for 1850. it means finding facilities for more than three times the total for 1920 at six or seven times the salary cost" said the report. Tt means adding 644,O00 students. or POO colleges the size of Yale last year
 The institute asks: Will the money to provide education for the increased number of students come from taxation. endowment, private gifts and larger fees? Must present universities grow or more uniyersi- ties be built?"
 In numbers. the largest increase in six years is credited to the Col lose of the City of New York with a growth of 6,Soo, followed by the University of California with 6,20o increase and Boston university with 4.7o0. Yale was one of four insti- tutions which had fewer students
