WEED OUT UNFIT
s'NO Room in WaShburn f0I
Poor Students''-WOmer.
President Tells Students They
Must Make Good.

1.-THE college is no place for students
who want only the good time. and
they must be eliminated" said Presi4
dent Farley p. Womer of Washburn
college in a speech which he made to
Washburn students Monday in chapel
President Womer said his talk was
suggested by the considerable discus
sion that has been sweeping the coun-
try about who should go to college.
MANY prominent educators already
have expressed themselves, among
them being the president of Dart
mouth college, who started the whole
question:" he said. "It all has grown
out of a situation which is exceeding
y acute, and which is growing more
acute In recent years, the college
revenues in no way have kept up with
the increase in college students"
There are $50, 900 stuCents who at
tend endowed colleges in this country.
Every one of those students costs the
colleges 500 a year The trouble is
that the colleges do not have the 500
and unless the econ omic conditions of
the country change. have no way of
getting it.
AS a result. the number of college
students must be limited, he said. 1t
is the. almosc universal opinion that
such Limitation must be made, but
there is a wide divergence of opinion
on how it is to be effected. President
Womer said that he did. not find any
of the methods so far advanced very
satisfactory. The methods include
psych o1ogy tests, recommendation of
prospective students by graduates, and
missionaries covering the Students
past life.
Weed Out Unfit.
TT is the duty of college authorities
to weed out the unfit he said. I'VE
must eliminate those students who do
no have intellectual aspirations, and
who are not in college in the interests
of scholarship. Our standards must
not be so high that they are~beyond
the reach rf sincere students, but they
must be out of reach of trash"
The policy of ~Washburn, as it was
instituted last year, of getting rid of
students who fail in much of their
work, will be continued. 1t will be
applied with even greater severity
than in the past, he said. He advised
all the students to find out their
standings in their classes and brace
up their own standards as well as
those of Washburn. Nobody need
fail in any class If he really tries to
make good, he said.
Our am bitiOin here is to provide
the S61O or any sum that is needed
for every student who shows that he
wants to make good" he asserted.

Conference in Washington for
Protection of Doctrine.
Central American Powers
Working Out a Program.

Washington, Dec. 4. - Under the
firm and kindly guidance of the
United States government the five
small powers that comprise central
America gathered around a confer
ence tablet in the historic hall of the
Americans here today to work out a
program for permanent peace and
tranquility in the area that has been
the cockpit of so many little wars in
the last century.
The conference that met today un-
der 1ee leadership of Secretary of
state Charles Z. Hughes. is, in fact,
a miniature replica of the greater can
ference of world powers held here
year ago which accomplished the
reduction of the worlds great navies
and gave assurance for peace on the
Pacific and Far East for years to
come.
The ends attained by the great
washington conference a year ago, are
the same Sought by the five little re-
publics of Central America today-re-
duction of armament, assurance of
perpetuating peace by treaty, estab-
lishment of tribunals to decide dis
puted questions without resort to force
and finally, the establishment of mu
tual trust and good feeling based upon
a clear understanding and recognition
of each others problem.
The countries that sent representa-
tives here today are: Guatemala,
Honduras. Salvador, Costa Rica and
Nicara qua
U. S. Interest Benevolent.
The interest of the United States
government in today's meeting is
Largely benevolent.
In inviting the smaller republics to
bring their troubles to washington.
however. the United States govern
ment was actuated by a deeper and
more farreaohing purpose than the
mere establishment for peace for its
own sake in the region south of Mex
leo.
American administrations. past and
present, have long realized that the
continual petty warfares in Central
America constituted a menace to the
Monroe doctrine. By ending these
wars and establishing tranquility, the
chief temptation for foreign nations
to butt in in Central America is thus
removed.
The conference opened before els
assemblase, including near-
ly all members of the diplomatic corps
and n number of government officials.
Secretary of State Hughes was
elected president of the conference.
Latin-American division of the state
was chosen secretary
general.
TOday's open session was presided
over by Secretary Hughes. who made
the welcoming address to the dele
gates. which was responded to by zach
of the chief delegates in turn.
Secretary Hughes said he desired to
emphasize the need for arbitration tri-
bunals and reduced military expendi-
lures
''In all that you may endeavor to do
to this end. you have the assurance OF
the interest and cooperation of the
United States"
Then. IN turn, each OF the chiefs Of
delegations arose and spoke briefly
pledging themselves to work for the
ideals OF the conference.

royal sanction is now required to make
it law.

lican irregulars to plunge Dublin into

with Free State troops and they will
be kept on guard until after Wednes-
day when the Free State becomes an
official actually thru King Georges
approval of the Irish constitution act.
Officials Take Refuge.
Members of the Dali, against whom
republican threats were directed, have
buildings which are thanked with
barbed wire entanglements and filled
with troops. Machine guns have been
mounted at strategic corners.
Public feeling is growing that the
back of the republican irregular
movement at last has been broken.
Round up of regulars continues
thruout the entire country. The jails
are filled with prisoners.
While no official word has been
given out regarding Eamonn de Va
minent unless he is voluntarily allowed

new COAL STRIKE IN APRIL
Operators Opposed to Handling Work
ers' Contract on National Basis.

Chicago, Dec. Possibility of
another disastrous coal strike in the
fifteen bituminous fields of the United
States on April 1, 1923, was believed
stronger than over today as two rep
resentatives of the operators from
here.
1t came with the revelation that
since the meeting here two weeks ago
which resulted in the failures of the
operators and miners to get together,
the operators have held various dis
tffct meetings in all sections of the
country at which their vote was prac-
tically unanimous against handling of
contracts with the workers on a ma
tiOnal basis.

Seft Coal Operators Confer Be-
fore Meeting Miners.
Start Second Day Without Set
Element Plan I'm Sight.
JOINT MEETING WEDNESDAY
On Outcome Depends Possibility
of Strike Next April.
Wages To Be Paid First of Year
5. Is the Chief Issue.

Chicago, Dec. 5.-Unfon bituminous
coal operators Of the United States
gathered here to decide on a method
for negotiating a wage scale with the
soft coal miners next January, today
went into their second session, their
last ceparste meeting before going into
joint conference with the miners.
When today's session was called
: according to spokesman for the OPP
orators. no plan or method had been
agreed upon for presentation in the
joint conference opening tomorrow.
On the outcome of the Joint confer
ence depends to a great extent the
possibility of another nationwide BIZ
luminous coal strike beginning in
AREifi 1923.
: &@Operators Want Arbitration.
+ TIE operators and miners have pre-
scented divergent views of the method
for negotiating the scale January 3.
This resulted in temporary adjourn
ment OF the joint conference last NO
vember. The operators have ex-
pressed a desire for some form of arbi-
.tration.
The miners, according to John L.
Lewis. their president. will not accept
anything that savors of arbitration.
Altho this is not one of the specified
issues in the conference scheduled this
week. it nevertheless has been brought
forwsrd and is discussed by the OPP
orators.
While it is known that the miners
strongly favor q return TO the Ola CEN
trail competitive field wrse base, or
some modification of it that will in
clude more territory, the operators ap-
parently hesitate to negotiate on this
basis again. because number of
them are under Indictment for con-
tracing with the miners under it's
terms
Report n Slight Discord.
There also apparently was a slight
diversion in the operators ranks, one
faction composed of those operators
who have always been in the central
competitive field, now non-existent be-
cause of the action taken at the Cleve-
land meeting last August and those
who are on the outside of this district.
Because of large tonnage repre-
scented by the old central competitive
field operators. it was pointed out,
their method, whatever It might be,
probably would be endorsed by the
other operators.
