A CENSUS IN 1925.

Secretary Hoover presents In his annual report
good arguments in favor of not waiting until 1880
take the next census but instead gathering popu-
aton figures within few years as substitute
for those collected last year. which reflected abb
normal conditions. Mr.. Hoover suggests that the
enumeration might be made in 1925, and 1t is in
teresting to learn that the house committee
is considering legislation having that in mind.
When the people Of the United States were
counted in January, 1920, the manufacturing In
dustrles were in full blast. wages high, and
prosperity was widespread. The cities were thronged
with country folk, who had left the farms temper
arily to accept the attractive jobs that were to be
had In the urban communities. Since then there
has been movement in the opposite direction
Business has slowed down, factories have suspended
operations, wages have been cut, men thrown out
of employment and the persons belonging to the
rural regions have returned to the farms and ham,
let's The census figures of last year, therefore, do
not represent present conditions. Mr.. Hoover says
the shifting of population from the country to the
city, which the 1920 enumeration showed, affected
the totals of certain states and influenced the
portionment of representatives in congress In ths
interest of accuracy a count is desirable
The question arises IL 1t would not be well to
make the federal census regularly quinquennia
instead of decennal affair. Conditions change so
rapidly that much of the information Of the census
is stale and less useless long before the
1O-year period between enumerations has expired

New York, Dec. 20.-Stock trad
ing today lapsed into the dullness
which usually marks the approach
of the holidays. Special and Sec
ondary issues with little public fol-
lowing were firm to strong, but
high class investment shares moved
within contracted limits.
Bonds were heavy, all Liberty Is
sues selling down from 20 cents to
about s1.25 per 500. Minimum
quotations represent reactions of SO
to almost 81 from November high
records.
The money market probably ac-
counted in part for these uncertain
tendencies. Call loans opened at
" per cent the highest initial rate
in several weeks, subsequently ad-
vancing to 6 per cent. Time funds
were less plentiful.
Foreign exchanges made further
rallies from last weeks setback, a
circumstance attributed to latest
advices on Germany's PREPARATIONS

baccos eased almost to the same

WHO SUPPORTS THESE SCHOOLS?

Who is footing the bill for free" education In
the United States? The Institute for Public Service
reports the results of research into the ques
ton of teachers salaries, which, in the light Of
present economic conditions, should be earnestly
considered.
There are, says the report, IS colleges in the
United States which paying full professors less
than $4,000 year, while 14O pay not more than
$4,000 For instance. eight colleges pay less than
$1,000 while 81 pay not over $500.
Conservatism has always been characteristic Of
academic institutions. Such salaries doubtless
a survival from the not remote period when
$1,000 regarded by thousands of young people
fitting themselves for the teaching profession
who received annually $4,000 able to travel for
study and research during his vacations and to live
in tolerable comfort the rest Of the year.
But to pay men of learning and influence the
meager salaries indicated by the above casts upon
any community the reproach of Indifference to It's
highest interests The low buttons. too, put upon
either the community the student body the re-
proach of getting something for nothing 1t raises
the question, who pays for free education? And
the only conclusion must be that by lack of sup
port the community and the student body tax the
college faculty pay the just costs of the instu
ions.
means of support should be made adequate to pay
the men and women who give their lives to the work
of teaching, living wages, income in keeping
with the honor and dignity of their position in
society.

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
S THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE DETERIoRATING:
(From the Minneapolis Tribune.)


Charles W. Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard
voices, in the current issue of 1.-THE Independent
an expression of alarm the degradations creep
ing into the English language. In the current news
papers and magazines he observes "a deplorable
tendency to the of slang and abbreviated words.
The telegram with its charge per word, and the
condensed headlines in newspapers tend to produce
another deterioration in the English language Dis
play advertisements with their exaggerations and
superlatives infict other kinds of damage on Eng
fish speech in street, shop. and market. am told
that similar injuries inflicted my some of the
best sellers Of the season."
One may agree with DR.. Eliot that 1t is quite i'm
possible to expect literary finish In kilograms,
paper headlines bill posters but concession of
that point represents occasion for alarm. Head
lines and kilograms In particular, must be forced
through unnatural process of condensation, and
bear scarcely more comparison to normal American
writing than shorthand does to longhand.
1t is blessed thing for the reputation of the
past that only the best of its products survive The
imperfections of the present always visible while
the imperfectons of the past have been mercfuly
buried in oblivion. There have always been evil
tendencies at work, threatening to damage the Eng
lish language. Yet the languae has met them each
generation without suffering any apparent damage
or, seemingly without being much the worse for
the struggle 1t Is altogether likely that there are
more people living today who may be described as
possessors of civilized knowledge of the English
language who may be looked at, in another way,
as guardians OF the English language than at any
time In history. Worry over DR.. Elots point would,
therefore, seem a trifle gratuitous.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
CHRISTMAS HOLLY.
BY Howard 3. Garis

"How many more days until
Christmas, Uncle Wiggily?" asked
Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy one
morning. as, she gave the rabbit
gentleman his breakfast in the
hollow stump bungalow.
"Um. now. Let me see," and
Mr.. Longears poured some carrot
maple syrup over his turnip pan
cake, and counted on his paws,
ut Is now Wednesday" he said,
land Christmas comes on Sunday.
That is five days more, not count
ing today. But / guess we viii

Why did you ask, Miss Fuzzy
Wuzzy?"

time you brought home the holly,
said the muskrat lady housekeeper
That's very true! I had better
hop off in the woods and get the
holly for Christmas" spoke Uncle
Wiggily.
"And take thick gloves with
you" advised Nurse Jane.
"Oh, It isn't so cold as all that, y
Uncle Wiggily answered.
mo, but don't you remember,
went on Nurse Jane, "the green
leaves of the holly plant have
sharp stickers on them, and they Il
prick you
That's So" agreed the bunny,
with a twinkle of his pink nose.
II was thinking so much about the
~
that forgot about the prickly
green leaves, ! will wear gloves,
Nurse Jane"
So after breakfast. taking with
him a basket in which to carry the
Christmas holly, Uncle Wiggily
started to hop off through the
woods.
Holly, you know. grows on a
bush, and sometimes the bushes
grow into quite large trees. The
leaves of the holly are a bright,
glossy green, and on each leaf are
many sharp points. almost like
thorns. Growing in clusters amid
the green leaves are pretty red
berries. And I suppose the holly
has prickery leaves to keep people
from taking too many of its rel
berries.
But in spite of this. much holly
is gathered for Christmas, and so
is mistletoe, which has white ber-
ries, without any stickers I'll tell
you a story about the mistletoe to-
morrow night.
"But I don't need to be afraid
of the prickery stickers." said I'M

Nurse Jane had given him with

thick gloves for my paws. I would
gnaw off the holly branches with
my teeth, only / might get a stick

Uncle Wiggily soon reached that
part of the forest where the holly
grew He saw the green. glossy
leaves, with their sharp points, and
he saw the sun cleaning on the
clusters of red berries. In short
time Uncle Wiggily had filled his
basket.
Nurse Jane will make holly
wreaths and hang them about the
hollow stump bungalow" said the
bunny. Just then he heard a rust
ling in the bushes, and away he
ran as fast as he could hop, TAX
ing the basket of holly with him.
II guess maybe that was the

He took the Christmas greens
into the house, and then, all of a
sudden, jolly voice cried:
ooh, Uncle Wiggily! Aren't you
glad Christmas is coming?"
Indeed I am, Baby Bunty"
laughed Mr.. Longears. For Baby
Bunty had come over to talk about
the glad times soon to arrive.
Nurse Jane had many things to
do for Christmas, such as baking
buildings, cake and pies. and Baby
Bunty wanted to help. So Miss
Fuzzy Wuzzy let the little rabbit
girl beat the eggs and clean out
the sugar frosting dish. And then,
as Baby Bunty's head began to nod
and her eyes began to close, Nurse
Jane said:
"Bunty, you go in the bed room
and take a little sleep on the
couch. You'll be in Dreamland in
a moment"
"A right" said Baby Bunty
Into the bed room she went, but 8
