Reports Show Veterans Are Quick to Take Up Old
 Courses of Study.

Flow are the former soldiers doing at college !" is a question asked and answered in a recent publication of the United States Bureau of Educa- tion, Department of the Interior. Summarizing returns to an inquiry made by one Of the church boards Of education, the bureau finds that as a rule ~tf1e returned soldier has fallen into his old stride and is doing work about the same as before entering the service"
 One college president reported that his ex-soIdfer students had not done very veil and that they were restless and found it hard to concentrate on their work. This same answer was received from another institution where Is ex-servAce men had regis tered at the beginning of the school year. Two of these had withdrawn. The rest did not do as well as hoped because of unrest due to indecision as to the future they wanted to follow and the reSuIting q1andary as to what spneparation they should make
 ; Albion College, however, reported that ths majority of ex-servtce men had done excellent work, especially those who had been dn college before entering the service. A number of other institutions reported their re- turned men doing work above the leverage, The report from Missouri fWesieyan College y1as that these nser were doing far above what they did previous to the war, the grades indi- eating that the work of the service men is of a very high order. The S sper cent. students receiving ali "A' grades were all ex-serviee men, There were very few failures among the re, turned men at this college, showing that thsy realized the benefit of ar education and the importance of hard diiigant work.

The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1920-04-23

In answer to a question as to how the student body survived the mid year examinations, the majority of colleges reported an improvement in the average of previous years. As usual, failures in individual courses were greater in number than failures such as to exclude the student from continuing.
 The percentage of complete failures was Eariously reported from 9 to 6 per cent. One school reported lnan- ciaI reasons other than cholarship as causing a loss of 42 students; whereas scholarship caused a loss of only IT. Of the first number six were seniors who were graduated.
 To the University of Chattanooga the mid-year examinations showed the lowest percentage of freshman mortality in the history of the univer- sity. This was attrfb uted to a bulletin published at the end of each 30-day quiz period with the names and schol- arship averages of the first 10 in each of the collage classes. This stimulat- ed a great deal of profitable rivalry, it is said.
 Women Averaged Higher. When asked to compare the grades received py men ana by women the almost universal answer was that the [ grades of women averaged higher. These statements were qualified in some cases by supplementary exp1a- nations.
 Chancellor Buchtel, of the Untver- sity of Denver. calls attention to the 1 fact that women as a rule do not earn l their living, and that on the other hand a great number of the men earn i their living in whole or in part. i Montana Wesleyan reports just 1 com piled from work of the first sem ester show that there are fewer fail ures among the women, and that a. 1 a whole better grade of work Is done by them. The men surpass in having some of their number attain higt rank In the college department 9I per cent of the women passed in al their subjects, The men showed Ss per cent, with no failures while pel cent failed completely. The other 1; per cent, failed in some subjects ana

The Indiana organization, through
It's leaders and committees under
Mr.. Denny, will take charge Of
bringing before the citizens of the
state the vital work that is being
carried on by the council OF which
Herbert Hoover is chairman.
This work consists OF keeping
millions Of undernOurished children
of Poland, Czecho-Slovakia, Austria
and Germany alive through the
famine that has descended upon
that section Of Europe. According
10 reports pouring in from the re-
lief workers in Europe and from
other and disinterested agencies,
hunger threatens to wipe out an en-
tire European generation during the
coming eight months unless imme-
QldJe reueI is given.
Millions are Dependent.
This relief is being given by the
Hoover organization today which
maintains food kitchens in al the
large central and eastern European
cities Millions Of children are de
pendent upon the soup and fats
bounty OF the Hoover kitchens for
their very lives. This is particularly
true in Poland and Vienna, where
the situation has become so drastic
that the mortality rate is far ahead
Of the birth rate.

slaughter Of the European limo

bic diseases is entirely dependent

The sum Of S33,00O,O0O has been

CHILE COAL FIELDS
MAY BECOME DRY
Miners and Operators Ask
Authorities TO Prohibit
Liquor.

SANTIAGO. Dec 12.-Coal fields
in southern Chile will become dry
soon if a provision of an agreement
just signed between the miners and
operators is enacted into law; and
the fields, may even become dry
if a measure now before parliament
is adopted. The agreement ap-
parentIy has settled a long standing
controversy between the workers
and their employers over questions
OF wages and hours Of work and
says among other things:
THE representative Of the com
panies and wOrkmen agree to ask
the public authorities 10 declare
the coal region completely dry. pro
hibiting the introduction and sale
Of alcoholic drinks While this
measure IS being enacted. they ask
the prohibition Of sale or liquor
during paydays.'
The newspaper, commenting on
the provision, says il is worthy Of
note that the prohibition movement
in Chile is supported with great
strength by labor The newspaper
asks early enactment of a measure
introduced some months ago by
Deputy Adrien. Of the democrat
party, 20 which a large element OF
labor belongs which forbids the
introduction. manufacture, sale or
consumption Of any kind of distilled
or fermented drinks not only in the
coal fields but in the nitrate regions
as well.

SAYS ALL OTHERS
STUDY OLD ACE
UPON WRONG BASIS

MADRID, Dec. 12-EverybOdy hith-
erto has gone wrong IN investigating
the problem Of old age and decay be-
cause the study Of the subject has
started from the wrong angle. ac-
cording TO a Spanish scientist, A. DE
GregoriO RocasOlanO. He says
scientists began by investigating old
age in man and in the higher organ
isms which might be compared 20
the study Of mathematics beginning
with the diferenual calculus.
He argued that at present il was
possible 10 study scientifically the
advent OF old age and the conclusion,
would be reached that there
is 10 solution Of continuity between
inert matter and live matter Mod
ern biological investigations proved.
he said that form was not the base
OF life. The cells, he declared. are
heterogeneous chemical systems,
which are not the living form but
live matter. In the same way as
the atom is the smallest possible
mass which can enter into chemical
combinations. the cell is the smallest
possible quantity OF live matter that
can be identified, but is itself COM
posed OF living units. He con-
cIuded the difference between dead
and live matter is not chemical but
physicO- chemical.
