Statistics of Students
In Schools

Chicago, JAM, 14.-Oregon, Iowa
and Utah have the largest number of
students in college, according to their
respective populations and Tennessee
has the lowest proportion, with Ark.
ansas and New Mexico closely follow.
ing Tennessee, DR.. George F. Zook of
the United States Bureau of Educa.
ton told the Association of American
colleges here today. DR.. Zook stated
that he obtained this information from
statistics compiled for thelawfull COL
lege year of 1920-1921.
The statistics also reveal that the
Western States of California, Oregon
and Utah take care of a larger pro-
portion of their students in their own
colleges and universities than any
other states," continued DR.. Zook.
New Jersey brings up the rear with
Connecticut follows with 35.6 per
cent.
"On the other hand, the Eastern
States of New Hampshire, Connecti-
cut, Maryland, New Jersey, and Mas
sachusetts contain the Institutes that
draw most powerfully from other
states. Indeed the highest institute
ons in the States are training a larger
number of non-residents than they
are of citizens of their respective
states"
DR.. Zook also announced that the
attendance at universities, colleges,
and professional schools last year
reached 100000, which is a gain of SO
per cent over the attendance in the
war year of 1918.
Accurate figures of foreign students
in American colleges and universities
were also supplied by DR.. Zook, the
total being 5000. China leads with
1,443 students, and Canada is second
with 1924. Other countries are as
follows: Japan, 525; South Ameri-
can countries, 563; Russia, 29O; India,

Miners Interested, in
Question of New WAGE

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 15.-Ap.
proximately 100000 soft coal miners
scattered throughout more than &c
states, are vitality interested in the
question Of whether q new wage
agreement with the soft coal operators
will be signed before the end of
March, said statement issued today
from the headquarters Of the United
Mine Workers Of America here.
1.-The present agreement under
which the miners are working expires
on March 81" the statement ad5,;
"and unless a ne wagreement is ne
gotiated in time to take effect on April
these 100000 miners will find them
selves without any kind of wage rates
and they will not know what they are
to receive for their work in the next
two years. Some Of the members of
the United Mine Workers of America
are doubtful as to whether new
agreement will be reached, but there
are many others who say they believe
that the coal operators will not allow
the first day of April to arrive without
a wage scale having been agreed
opon."
The union officials are still hopeful
that an agreement will be signed be-
fore that date, the statement adds.
when John L. Lewis, president of
the miners union, called meeting of
miners and operators for January 6 in
Pittsburg it was thought that negoti-
ations looking to the working out of
a new wage agreement would soon be
well on their way" the statement con-
tinues. "This meeting was called for
the purpose of selecting a date and a
place for joint wage conference field,
composed Of Western Pennsylvania
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. But the
entire plan was scrapped by the action
of the operators of the Pittsburg dis
trict and two large groups of Ohio
operators in refusing to meet with the
representatives of the miners. The
operators of Indiana and Illinois had
tentatively agreed to the meeting, but
when the Pittsburg and Ohio opera
tors refused President Lewis regarded
it as useless to hold the Pittsburgh
meeting and he called it off. This
left the entire subject of wages and
working conditions in the mines for
the next two years up in the air.
Surely the operators will yet meet
with the miners and negotiate a wage
agreement to take the place Of the
one that expires on March 81. The
public remembers only too well the
chaos in industry and business that
followed the stubborn refusal of the
operators to meet with the miners in
1919, and it will not permit the op-
orators to force another situation like
that one that developed in that year.
And the miners do not want such a
thing to happen again."

Sabbath Leave For
College Professors

Chicago, Jan 13.-The question Of
Sabbath Leave for College professors
is of great Importance to the college
world and one which should rank with
the questions of salary. pensions and
other matters which have to do with
the success end prosperity of those
to whom We entrust the education of
our youth. PROFESSOR Otis E. Randall
Of Brown University, Providence, R.
l., told the Association of American
Colleges here today
"Many institutions regard the prac-
tice of granting to the officers of in
struction leave of absence under gen.
erous conditions, not as privilege
earned by faithful service on the part
of the instructor" said Prof. Randall
"but as an obligation to the institu-
tions themselves for the sake of their
own efficiency and usefulness. AS a
result of questionable sent out by
out committee the president Of one Of
the New England Colleges said that
he regarded the granting Of sabbatic
leave as about as good an Investment
as the college could make.
"Others suggested that the. colleges
would do well to set aside special
funds for the purpose Of financing a
plan of sabbatic leave under generous
conditions in the same way as funds
are set aside for financing pension

far as to suggest the wisdom of bring.

"The majority of the colleges re

some sort of provision for leave OF

States navy is 99.7 per cent pure
American.
Secretary DENLY is proud of his
navy and said today that it was the
best navy in the world, backing his
statement by figures recently COM
piled by the Bureau of Navigation
which show that on July 1 native
born sailors represene 91.S2 per cent;
naturalized men 299 per cent; Coloni
al natives, 4.89 per cent and the bal

cants, only 1886 were accepted.
1t is a healthy navy afloat and
ashore, according, to the statement of
ChS SuiSSoh ScucIdl.
1t is we'll behaved navy, too, as
only 6.8 per cent of the total number
of discharges were dishonorable, and
but 6.08 per cent of the total men in
the service during the year deserted.
Good conduct medals in the service to-
tai over 5000, some men having eight
to their credit also testify to the char
acter of the enlisted men.
The distribution of men by states
gives New York the lead in both ma
tivity and residence; 13,452 in the
former and 14,17O in the latter. Penn
sylvania comes second in each list
with 9951 and 9299 respectively. The

Golf Links in Heart of Paris

Paris, Jan. 14.-Parisian golfers,
unable, because of business, to go to
their country clubs, have brought a
golf links right into the heart of
Paris. An indoor golf club, unique
in Europe, has just been opened on the
Champs -Elysees, with putting greens
transplanted from Dieppe.
The greens are laid in the middle
of a long hall and tables are set
around them so that members can dine
while others play or have dinner after
game. The lofty tunnel or hall
where the game is played, is illumi-
mated at night and makes possible
practice shots of 40 years.
When the ball hits the side curtains,
it is returned on the green on an in
clined plane. There are many ingeni-
Gus bunkers Of various shapes made
of real turf. Practice in approach
shots is afforded in many ways.
Membership in the new club is re-
stricted to the members Of the leading
Paris clubs and $50 persons already
have applied for membership. Indoor
golf now is expected to become pop.
ular sport among wealthy Parisians.

Y. G. Tong Buried

Y. c. Tong, who was one of the first
group of Chinese students to seek
education in the United States and
who in later life became known as
"the father Of American Students
is buried in Shanghai in accordance
with wishes expressed before his
death early in November.
Forty-five years ago with a num-
ber of other Chinese youths he cross
ed the Pacific in sailing ship to en-
ter an American school. While cross
ing the United States the train which
carried the Chinese students was at
tackled by the famous bandit Jesse
James and his gang and all of the
passengers including the Chinese
were stripped of their possessions
With a number of other Chinese stu.
dents, Mr.. Tong was recalled from
America by the Manchu government
which believed that these Chinese
youths were becoming foreignized.
When he returned to China he was
imprisoned, for month. because OF
his foreign ways and it was while ir
prison that he resolved that he would
in future give al aid in his power to
Chinese boys who desired to seek edu.
cation in America.
This resolution was faithfully kept
for perhaps not one of the many Chi.
ncse who have gone to America since
that time but has had assistance ir
