DESIRE FOR HIGHER. EDUCATION SWEEPS.
 WOMEN OF ORIENT.
Seven Colleges for Women Have Made Appearance in the Far East During
 Last Few Years
By Associated Press

Chicago, February "A oeSlre for woman's higher education Is sweeping over the orient; the girls of India, China and Japan are asking for a better preparation for life, &C., cording to Mrs. Murray Frame of Yenching college, Picking. who has just completed a tour of the United States in the interest of better edu- cation for women Tn the orient.
 Within the last few years. seven colleges for women have made their beginning in the far east, according to Mrs. Frame Five of them are arts colleges and two medical, she states.
 They are located as follows: Two in India, at Lucknow In the north and at Madras in the south; two in China, one in the northern capital Picking. the other in the old south ern capital, Manlling; one in Tokyo the capital of Japan. The two medi- cal schools are in Vellore, India, and Picking. China.
 Last winter, when north China was In the stranglehold of that ter rible famine" Mrs. Frame states students of Yenching (Pedng) col lege gave Maeterlinck's The Blue bird in Chinese, through which they raised S1,500 for the sufferers. Then a>small troup were excused tempor- arily from college and went out Into the nearest famine region to inves- tigate. They found such numbers of poor little girls, either deserted to die or about to be sold by their des- perate parents into a life of shame, that they begged the use of two Bud dhist temples to serve as a haven. There they cared for over 200 famine victims through the long winter months, other girls in tho college se- curing money and clothing. and com ing in relays for two weeks at time to help in the work. Among other ways of raising money. the girls gave Merchant of Venice in Chinese.
 Are tho girls ready for these op- portunities7 Every year they come in eager groups, many of them sew eral days journey. to enter this land of their dreams. But every year many must be turned sadly away for lack of room. A year ago ITS applicants came for admission to the medical college at Vellore. Only 2s could be received. One hundred and fifty would-be medical workers for the suffering womanhood of India were turned away for lack of room
 What is happening in the schools of Japan is of more importance to mankind today than what Is hap pening In her dock yards"

The southern tongue is Elizabeth ian, but 1t Is subject to many Yari- ances. It has been said that tho South Carolina tongue is the sweet est on earth, but Georgia now and then produces soft-voiced sons and daughters with charming unusual ac- cent, too. One of these is Mrs. De- mere. whose sweet voice reminds one of the true Charlestonian, yet she was born. bred and married in the historic old town of Savannah. Per haps 1t is because she Is & blending fSeottish and English blood. Her mother was English and was born in the West Indies, and her father was pure Scotch.
 Mrs. Demere was, before her mar riage, Maria Stuart Terrell, named for her English grandmother, Marian Stuart. who, at her christening. was keenly desirous to name her for Queen Victoria. Why would any one name a child Victoria with the beau tlful name of Stuart behind her2
 Mrs. Demere's old home in Savan- nah was one of artistic beauty, filled with heavy, antique furniture, and surrounded by great shade trees and an old time flower garden. She was married to MT Francis Habersham Demere, of Georgia. who was of French descent. This marriage con- nected her with the old families of Habersham, Barnwell and Elliott Of the south; pioneer names, proud and historic in tho building of the south land politically, socially and relig- iously, and also well known In the realms of literature, art and music, The death of Mrs. Demere's husband occurred one year after their mar rtage. and she was left with baby son, Francis.
 Years later when her son, Frank Demere, had grown to manhood and come to the booming young town Of Birmingham to engage in business, she often visited him, and from time to time noted and marvelled at the magic growth of the city between each visit. Finaly. her son induced her to remain and make her home with him, and here she has lived for many years endearing herself to all with whom she came in contact.
 She is such feminine, refined It, tle woman. No one could resist her soft voice and charming manner. She Is like .happy girl. yet never, with it all, losing her little air of serene dignity. She has a sense of humor however, and when one meets her down town in tho shops she always has little incident to relate that will bring a laugh.

for chemistry for mining engineer ing, for class rooms, for music and home economies. for the schools os law. commerce and education, for re- ligious uses of the students and for student assemblies, for a dining hall. for dormitories for men ana for women. for equipment for laborato- ries and shops of all kinds.
 ITO provide these, large sums of money will be needed within the next few years. Unless they are provided not only will the uniyerity fail to render the service 1t should render to the student body as now consti- tuted. but it's growth will be retarded at a critical time in It's development, and both the university and the state it serves will suffer irreparable loss. Consider, for example, commercial, mining. hydraulic and industrial en- ginering-four subjects which are now sorely needed In our industrial development. Three years ago, fol- lowing the recommendation of the state educational commission, and by formal institutional agreement, the university assumed responsibility for the exclusive development of these subjects.
 "The support of state institutions. including the provision of buildings and equipment. is. of course, prima- rily the duty of the state. But there are crises when individual help must be invoked. The simple fact Is that the public treasury has not been ade- quate to meet the multiplicity of de- mands made upon it in recent years. The university cannot longer await relief through legislation. Surely, enough will remain to tax public re- sources after private effort has been exhausted.
 The university Is, therefore. pre- pairing to make campaign for s1,- 000,G00 through private donations from its alumni and friends in Ala bama and elsewhere, as authorized by the board of trustees last spring.

 Regarding the Gorgas Memorial drive: The University of Alabama Is taking no part in the campaign for funds for this memorial. The Gorgas School of Sanitation is not to be d part of the university. It will not be under the direction of the president or the trustees of the university. It will have it's own board of directors, made up largely of health officers

 One thing that characterizes Mrs. Demere Is the wearing of the dear est quaintest, little bonnets imagin- able, not old-lady bonnets-Oh, dear, mol But little black poke bonnets that fit close to the head-Kate Greenway style, and edged with rouehing of white net to frame her sweet face.
 She Is an Episcopalian. a communi- cant of the Church of the Advent, and her church and her pastor, and ev- erything pertaining to her church, are very dear to her heart. She may be seen every Sunday morning sitting far down in 8 front pew beside her friends, Mrs. James Hawkins and Mrs Frank Lide.
 Recently she celebrated her eighty-fourth birthday and her gifts and congratulations were many. Among others was the following poem from the pen of her friend, Mrs. Ruth S. Hartzfield, which she kindly gave me to reproduce:
 ETERNAL YOUTH
 To Mrs. Frank Demere. Thou art the Spirit of Eternal Youth, Summoned from vast fields of h.
 fnity;
 To prove the verity of God and His Truth,
 The measure of His love through Eternity.
 From the green of the glade, the gold of wheat, The perfume of Summers rarest
 flower;
 Of the first wing stirrings of the
 birding sweet, Ecstatic. tumultuous, thrilled with Its
 power.
 From the tremulous smile of little And exquisite melody of mocking
 bird
 From the heart of a rose, grown out
 In the wild.
 First splash of a raindrop on a
 thirsty world.
 God fashioned spirit-the Spirit of Youth,
 Loosing it from unbounded spaces
 of blue;
 He called His winged messenger. Im-
 mortal Truth,
 And sent it to Earth in the Likeness of You.

University Of Alabama Plans $1, 900, 900 Campaign
President Denny Discusses Urgent Need and Alumni and Trustees Have Indorsed Intensive Drive
 for the Early Fall

University, February 4.-(Spe- cial).-Preparatio for beginning the million dollar campaign of tho Uni versity of Alabama, indorsed by the alumni and authorized by the board of trustes last spring. Is under way, according to announcements made to- day by Provost F. P. Claxton. It Is understood. however. that the inten- sive preiod of the drive is planned for the early fall.
 This announcement is made at this time in order that there may be no confusion in the public mind. but clear understanding of the relation of the university to the campaign now being made fin Alabama as a part of the nationwide and world wide campaign for the memorial to General Gorgas. including the School of Sanitation at Tuscaloosa
 In discussinb the vital necessity for the action of the university President Denny said
 For some months there have been statements from time to time In the newspapers with regard to the pro- posed university drive, which was in- augurated at the annual meeting Of the alumni in May, 1921. Frequent inquiries are being made concerning this drive. Hence this statement.
 There has been a fourfold in crease In attendance at the university within a decade. There are now 1,70C students at the regular session and 1,300 in the summer school-a total of 5000. Undoubtedly this increase will continue provided adequate pro- vision is made in buildings and equip ment and in teaching force.
 But in all these 10 years in which the attendance has increased more than four fold, no building for acad- emic use has been erected on the campus of the university except the gymnasium for men. Dormitory space has been increased. but even now WIG are providing living quarters for less than one-half of the student body. Much of the work of the university is done in temporary shacks con- structed during the World war. They are wholly unfit for such use. The institution Is carrying an overload of at least 50 per cent. There must be sorGa >~iief from this critical sit- uation.

 "The university Is, however, great ly interested in the proposed School of Sanitation and in the success Of the campaign for funds for both parts of the Gorgas Memorial.
