that 1851 people visited the Yellow
stone National Park during the tour
list season just closed. The outstand-
ing feature of the American tourist
travel during the summer was the
increase of 215S automobiles carry
ing 1854 passengers.
Fully anticipating the tremendous
growth in automobile touring, the
National Park Service was prepared
to direct in the interest of safety, the
stream of motor cars as they toured
the park highway. and accidents
were rare events.
A new approach road leading to the
south entrance through the Scenic
Wind River Valley and the Teton
Mountain region was opened in Au-
gust and will probably be popular
with park visitors. Also the Hobacl1
i, Canyon route leading into the Jack
son Hole, thence to the south gate
way. was completed this year and
will be ready for travel next season.
According to the report, rail Wis
itors decreased 5S17 people under
that of the record established during
the 1920 season. The Park officials
attribute this decrease to higher
| rates and economic conditions Of the
country during the summer.

has been spent in the past on poor
students and not enough on good
ones. she said.

effort to avoid some of the faults
Characteristic of our American college
system; for example, that of forcing
a student to spend q great deal of her
time in class rooms listening to lee
lures and running to and fro from
various college engagements.
1T also attempts to counteract the
tendency to think of scholarship in
terms of courses. grades and points
rather than subjects or fields Of
knowledge and that unfortunate
American tendency to split up onn's
knowledge into half-yearly ragfn nnts
which are. forgotten quickly after the
