The Young Person Scores.
My first memory Is of voices, and
after that was shot swiftly out of a
aunnel from an immense distance and
opened my eyes upon the same faces
which l had left at some indefinite
period In the past. There was Aunt
James, very fearful, and Miss Higgles-
By-Browne's very glum, and the Hon
erable Cuthbert's, very anxious and a
little dazed, and Cookies, very, very
Slack. The face of Dugald Shaw
did not see, for the quite ineligible
reason that was lying with my head
up0a his shoulder.
As soon as l realized this | sat up
suddenly, while every one exclaimed
at once, There. she's quite all right
zee how her color Is coming back !"
The penknife that l had lost in my
struggle with Captain Magnus had
fallen at the Scotchman's feet.
Wrenching himself free of his all but
severed bonds he had seized the knife,
slashed through the rope that held
aim to the tree, and flung himself on
Captain Magnus. 1t was brief strug-

Give Reasons for

other educators of New England coll
leges have been trying TO find out why
the American youth has been pressing
so numerousy at the gates OF these
institutions as to constitute fro Sinner
classes which set new records in many
cases.
They give as among the factors re-
sponsible for the increase in TIE num-
her of young men and women seeking
higher education the following.
A. wartime demonstration of tho
value of higher education. a general
quickcning of interest In all questions
of international moment and hard

President Wallace w. Atwood Of

more widespread and general 2pprccia-
ton of the value of a higher educatinh

appreciation Of the value OF college
education resulting partly from tho
record made by college men duu.ng the
war and partly from the propaganda
for education in innumerable cndow-

Part of the increase. President Muir

due to the return of youths whose

BETTER COMMUNICATIONS
NEEDED

The Press Congress at Honolulu
merited commentator and support
for it's efforts to secure the freest
possible communication throughout
the world, especially that part of it
enclosing the Pacific. 1t is right in
the conclusion that the future peace
of the world is in no slight degree
dependent on the exchange of indie
pendent, uncensored rews.
The present policy of the Govern
ment in permitting the use of it's
radio facilities for news transmission
will cease with the first of next July
unless Congress extends the author
ity. That body has much to absorb
it's attention and the revenues of the
country, but it has long been recog-
nized, in this country of ours, that a
dependable news service operating to
keep the people informed is one of
the greatest possible aids to equili-
brium in public opinion. Its i'm
portance increases by leaps and
bounds. The radio facilities for COM
munication multiply. They should
be encouraged. They afford an I'M
paralleled opportunity for becoming
conversant with world conditions.
The affairs of the whole world are
today jostling domestic news in the
columns of the press and command
ing the attention of the readers, an
attention that will wax great on
what it feeds. 1t is vitality important
to appreciate and make the most of
these; it is necessary to have them.
Insofar as the Government may aid
it should do so.

NEGROES AND IMPROVEMENT

Coincident with reports from How
ard University for negroes claiming
notable success throughout it's fields
of endeavor, comes announcement of
things accomplished by means of ex-
tension work in agriculture and home
economies in rural districts of the
southern states. In 1904 through
authority of the Smith-Lever act eX-
tension work was begun among the
colored peoples to bring about better
results in crops and home conditions.
The first negro agent appointed to
such duties among his own pepople
began work in 1905. In the last thir-
teen years the force of negro extern
sion workers has grown from seven
agents, employed in 1908 at a cost of
SALSA to 224, of whom 1877 are men
and 81 women.
Eleven states of the union have this
extension work capably organized,
with negro state leader, designated
as the District leader at the head. and
forces cooperating throughout the
state under his guidance. Practice of
methods thus spread among the COL
ored farmers has resulted in a doub-
ling of production of corn. and very
large increase in the pound yield of
seed cotton per acre, as we'll as in i'm
proved domestic economy.
Yet census statistics have recently
told. us that the impulse of the negro
TO migrate from state to state in rest
less fashion is showing tendency to
increase, slowly perhaps but consis-
tently. Which would seem to indi-
cate that the negro is dissatisfied
with home conditions and on the
search for more advantageous cir
cumstances. However that may be.
We as a good government>are contin-
ually. doing what we can to overcome
his dissatisfaction and teach him the
road to good results for his labor.
