The Call of the Colleges
OTING the rejection Of hundreds
student applicants by crowded univer-

Y -
III student applicants by crowded univer-
sites in the North and East, the New
York World remarks: "The great pressure
has come suddenly and has necessitated heroic
measures. Where is the surplus of stu
dents to go? The American theory of educa-
ton is still sound-that youth who wants a
college education ought to be enabled to
get it,"
Nowhere is the need of applying this good
principle more imperative than in the South.
For years host of young men and young
women of this region have gone to distant
seats of learning, not from preference but
from necessity. The accommodations at
Southern colleges and universities have been
much enlarged of late, and their standards
much advanced. Yet, they are turning away
more applicants now than ever before, are
disappointing eager multitudes who knock at
their doors, are standing fettered, by want of
room and facilities, while the times cry out
for educational service.
If the people of Georgia and neighboring
States will supply these deficiencies, If they
will provide the endowment and expansion
funds of which institutions like Emory, Agnes
Scott, Oglethorpe, the Tech and divers others
are in urgent need, they will render the high
est of possible services to their own sons and
daughters, and at the same time make the
South the most wholesome and most influen-
tial center of education in America.
Give these colleges and universities the
means to materialize their ideas and ideals,
and from all corners of the nation students
will make paths to them. Thus can the
South do most to impress her spirit upon the
country's common thought and most to array
against destructive radcalsm that conserving
tradition of hers, of which the nation was
never in greater need.

An Honor to Georgia

NOTABLE and merited tribute is paid
a Georgia institution by the Review
of Reviews, when that ever excellent
magazine says editorially in its June issue
touching the Importance of educational facili'
ties for the people of the Southern highlands
"It would seem perhaps an invidious
discrimination to select one school or
another for especial praise; and indeed,
in the Appalachian regions there are
number of institutions which have
demonstrated the value of these Amer1-
can mountaineers by showing how well
they justify opportunities for higher
education. But while it is true that the
more fortunate of these young high
landers who are able to get into college
make excellent lawyers, doctors, minis
tiers, missionaries, school superintend-
ents, and successful citizens, there is
especial need of a school training for
other and larger groups that shall par
ticularly fit them to live we'll in their
own farming neighborhoods. Notable
for their grasp of this need and for their
achievement of fine results are the Berry
Schools in northwestern Georgia. By
sympathy and devotion, Miss Martha
Berry has created, first, school for
country boys, and later a school for
country girls, which succeed SO we'll in

Praise for Miss Berry's schools is frequen
and far-flung; in the North, the East, the
West, and in many a foreign center where
educational thought and endeavor are stud
fed, Georgia's name is linked with honor an.
keen interest to the institution which she
founded and is upbuilding. The comment OF
the Review of Reviews is particularly pleas
ing, however, because of it's discerning appre-
citation of the value of such schools to the
total life of the South, and of the nation
These mountain folk are truly described
as being "for the most part of old English
Scotch, and Irish stocks of great physical
stamina, of fine mental parts, and of distinct
moral WORTH To provide the rising genera
tion with adequate schools is to contribute
greatly not alone to the development of a
particular region rich in natural and human
resources, but also to the economic and social
strength of the entire South and of the com.
mon country. Untold, unguessed possibilities
or agriculture, industry, commerce and civic
progress are locked in the mountain slopes
and valleys. The education that will bring
them to harvest is of the kind that will give
the mountain boys and girls clear, COMPEL

Ing that will make them competent for the

That is what Miss Berry's schools are
doing; and that is why Georgia and the South
should be peculiarly loyal to them.

Seventh Million Lines

TT an uncompromising militarist the
loss of seventy milio- lives may seem
but triflt in the pride, pomp and
circumstance of glorious war" But to one of
normal human outlook so vast bIighting
o. hopes and breaking of hearts is not to be
despised as reason for all-compelling eff

amongst nations.
The cost of the World War; in life and
treasure, has been variously estimated. If
the reckoninc of deaths be confined to bat
tlefield and camp, the figures still run ap-
pallingly high. But obviously the whole
truth must take account also of increased
mortality amongst civilians, of the reduced
birth rate, and of like factors in the expe-
rience of the warning countries. Calculating
upon this scale the Danish Research Society
finds that the late conflict carried a toll of
seventy million human lives.
While this was taken away, there was
added to the debt of nations, alread- sorely
burdened by armament bills, the sum of
three hundred and fifty billion dollars or
as much as the total wealth of the richest

Value of Radium

DR.. Robert P. Wadhams, of the Alumni
association of New York university and Belle
vue Hospital Medical college, in a lecture on
"Radium and It's Use in Medicine said that
radium is being experimental with now in
medical treatment as we'll as in surgery. DR..
Wadhams said, in part:
"Tests are being made as to the possible
use of radium in what is known as Hodgkin's
disease and in such conditions as tubercu-
lous lymph nodes. The true value of radium
in surgery must depend on observations eX-
tending over many years. Since radio-ther-
apy is such a recent method, with technique
constantly undergoing improvement, extern
sive studies must be made in chemistry, physl-
ology, pathology and other fields in connec-
ton with the agent, before its exact status
can be determined.
"America's greatest development of radio
therapy has been in the treatment of surgi-
cal conditions. Bes1 results have been OBJ
tanned with circumscribed generous growths
and the technique in treating this group of
cases is being improved each year."

carmanv's casualties in the world war
were placed at 6,SSS,982 by Commander
William S. cambridge, of the Naval Medical
Corns. in an address before the Association
of Military Surgeons of the United states.
The figure was determined, he SAID, through IN
two years service in Germany during the
war as an observer and from the STUDY OF
official and semi-official publications anu
statements in German, Dutch and ScandfnaV-
ian magazines.
According to Commander Bainbridges tau
u1ations the German losses we're divided az
follows: Killed in battle, 1,531,14S; missing
991,34O; wounded, 4,211,4S1; died or as
ease, 155,013.
It had been absolutely established now
ever, he said, that 80 per cent OF the German
wounded were refitted for service In the tleld
or at hospitals or rendered self-supportlng.
OF the sick and wounded who reached the
home hospitals in Germany only 1.0 per cent
died.

A great increase in unemployment in
Ireland is shown by official reports. The

Belfast is worse off, with 28,434 unen.

is mostly due to dispute in the building
