Frederick A. Hall, chancellor Of Wash

This conclusion. the report cxplains,

college students has been increasing stead
ily. the report states.
'If the present growth Of numbers Is
indicative Of what may be expected III the
near future. continues the report. the
colleges Will have to watch carefully 10
order TO prevent turning out lower type
of graduate than that which has charac-
terized colleges hitherto
sTt is onlv fair to saw that, so far as
can learn from the faculty. II IS thought
that the work Of the student body has not
this wear been as good rs thet OF previous
wears: that coDtrary TO the people expec-
tations that the Young would be more
purposeful and earnest by reason OF war
experience. thev seem to be less inclined
to serious labor, and that an. unusual pro-
portion of students had to be dropped he
cause 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 IN
crease in the number Of men but that IN
the last two years the proportional IN
crease BY men has been greater. Men, the
report adds usually are reluctant to con
tinue in classes II which they are out

Washington, Dec. l3.--Betwccn 100000
and 100000 children were deprived Of
schooling last year az direct result of
the shortage Of teachers, according To cs-
Inmates made by r. NJ. Claxton, Federal
Commissioner of Education, IN his annual
report, Just made public. No relief for
the situation is seen by the commissioner.
OF even greater moment than the actual
shortage, the report said, was the increase
in "sub-stnndard" instructors. More
than half the $4,000 teachers Of the
nation, IL added, are not prepared accord
ing to any reasonable standard for the
work Of teaching. The reasonable stan
dard Of preparation IL placed at a high

CITY GARBAGE PLANT.
OAly Solution Of Wilmington Problem
Health Board Head Says.

A modern city owned and operated gar.
bage disposal plant is the only solution OF
the problem confronting the city IN the
handling of refuse. according to the state
ment of DR. Charles NJ Handy, president
of the Board of Health, which is operating
the present plant as an emergency mea-
sure.
Regarding the cost of thi, emergency
work, at the present rate of expenditure
it is estimated that the cost for the first
year to the city will run slightly over
10000. This is based on q weekly pay
roll of $3.50, weekly coal consumption
$3.50 and overhead expense SlOO. total
Of 5000 per week.
Although this amount is $50, 600 great
er than the contract price Of $9,5oo per
year which formerly prevailed, IT is also
$4,000 less than the increase asked by
the contractor for maintaining the ser
vice, which was $4,000.
1t is the hope Of DR. Handy that Coun-
ell will seek from the next Legislature
such authority as may be necessary 10
build and operate a modern disposai
plant by the city.
