Mary Stuart. which he considers too

that the only room that could be

asked me to accompany them to the
Foreign Office. where they would
endeavour to straighten out the diff
ficulty.
This seemed to me a light affair,
but then I knew nothing Of Moscow.
In the first place. although there
seemed to be plenty of Idle people
about, 1t was difficult to get q por-
ter: we found at last a few veritable
Chinese, who seemed willing to
work. and we engaged two of these;
one young one. grinning. in an all

ONLY SOLDIERS ACTIVE.
The Russians stood looking round
with curiosity; the only people who
were active were soldiers. with
medals, and functionaries who did
not appear to be doing anything
very definite except magnifying
their office.
A young girl came up and begged
bread, and when l gave 1t to her,
she walked away with 1t. slowly, not
eating 1t.
Outside the station we found few
droschkies. looking like glorified
bassinettes with hoods on. Most of
these had wretched-looking. small
horses. Others had fine, big. black
horses. A big dog, something like q
mongrel st. Bernard. came bounding
along, and I noticed that, though
he was unkempt, he was certainly
not starved. Then In a couple of
droschkies we drove in state to the
foreign office.
A long stretch of streets lay be-
tween the railway station and the
government offices. The first sight
of these was extraordinary. The
great city seemed almost deserted.
The shops were closed, and where
windows were left unshuttered they
were broken. We passed along cob
bled streets. unswept and filled with
variegated odors, none of them eau
de cologne. Great churches of all
kinds began to appear, some mag
nificent in their gilded splendor.
while again from time to time little
familiar churches, like toys, very
small, painted and gilt and tricked
out with gaudy ikons. The street.
were deserted. except for a few fur
tive passers-by. and what had once
been big hotels were closed and d.
lapidated.
The impression of contrast and in
congruity which 1 was destined to
meet with all through Russia, was
already visible here. Some splendid
buildings that suggested Whitehall
In London were mixed with tumble
down shanties such as / have seen
in a derelict village In Ireland.

STUDENT CONTROL
PLAN DISCUSSED
BY R LEVITT

Monday evening Prof. Albert Levitt,
member of the law faculty of the Uni
versity of North Dakota, presented to
a gathering of the mems conference
and women's senate Of the university,
a plan for student control.
Before this plan is presented to the
university council Thursday, action
will be taken on it at a special meet
ing of the conference and senate We'd
nesday night at 7:15 o'clock in the
Woodwork hall. 4
h plan provides for a student
conference. which will consist of n
mems senate and a women's senate.
Five different boards of control are
to be authorized by the conference,
the boards to govern respectively the
following activities OF the school.
Student publications, organizations, So
cial activities, athletics and forensics.
These boards of control are to be COM
posed of -four students and one faculty
member each to be elected by the con.
ference:
These boards of control are to be
governed by the executive committee
Of the conference, which committee is
to be composed Of six students nnG
three faculty members.
The plan also provides for the
duties of each of the boards of con-
troll. One interesting feature brought
out was that the editor and business
manager of The Student should b {
given scholarship. but that those con-
t%ributing to the Dakotah should do 50
without remuneration.

Of Interest Here.

Announcement from Washington
that a commission has been appointed
to investigate the cost of education
in the United States. attracts especial
attention in North Dakota for the rea-
son hat the study OF the cost OF u1e-
yersity education has been led by
North Dakota men.
At the meeting of the national as
ISOLATION OF State Universities in New
Orleans a month before the appoint
ment OF the commission was an
nouncei, Thomas F. Kane of the
North Dakota university outlined the
plans for calculating the per capita
cost of education in state universities.
A paper presented by Dr.. Kane in
1912 before the anne national ~associa-
ton outlined the plan of standarizing
department costs in universities. This
outline has been the standard of
measurement since 1912.
AS Il result OF the discussion on the
per capita cost at New Orleans, a
committee was named by the national
association to formulate uniform
methods of calculating the per capita
cost in state universities. This con-
tribution by President Kane here has
led to the work now being taken up
by a general national committee with
abundant funds for its investigation
