STANDS HIGH in
COLLEGE RANKS
Western M aryland College
Graduates Accepted With
out Examination In All
Universities.

Sixty-five years ago there wal
started in Westminster, Md, q private
academy Six years later the work OF
charging 1t into college was begun
Today, graduates from the Western
Maryland College are admitted to uni
versities all over the world and the
college itself is classed as an AL &C
credited college, than which there is
no higher classification.
Men and women, who as boys and
girls, hailed Western Maryland Col
lege as their alma mater, today hold
high Office in the state and nation.
Some of them have become interna-
tionally known.
1t led the way In that form OF CO.
education in which the young men and
young women enrolled are accepted
as students on equal terms, are taught
the same courses of study by the same
faculty but are taught separately so
far as practicable. Both men and
women receive the same degree
Western Maryland College was the
first in the state to build gymnasium,
employ a physical director and give
the same great care to the develop
ment of the physical as to the mental.
In 1866 the college consisted of one
main building. Today 1t consists of a
collection of rs buildings with an
athletic field Of Ave acres equipped
for oil hronnhaa ~ unarf and UTaatarn
Maryland College teams have brought
renown to the college and It's student
body.
The first session of the college
opened with 70 students. In the years
since then 1906 men and women have
been graduated-fitted for lives of use
fulness and for positions of prom
iDence in the profession, in the min
istry and in business. About as many
students have attended who did not
remain for graduation.
In 1883 the General Assembly of
Maryland granted a charter to the
college, giving the trustees the power
to hold property, elect a faculty and
confer degrees ''in any Of the arts,
sciences and liberal professions to
which persons are usually admitted in
any other colleges or universities in
America"
. In 1924 there were 405 students en-
rolled in the college departments, 321
Of whom were Marylanders. Fifteen
other eastern and southern states were
represented by students and one
foreign country, Japan OF these stu
dents, the men and women were nearly
equally divided.
In this fashion has Western Maryland
College kept pace with the marvellous
strides made in recent years by Amer
lean colleges and universities. DR.. A.
n Ward, president of the college,
says:
1T is the aim OF Western Maryland
College to do the very best grade of
college work Its purpose is to do
work equal to that done by any col
lege in America, where the courses Of
a college Of liberal arts are pursued.
Our graduates are now being accepted
without examination by the leading
universities Of America and Europe"

EDUCATION COSTS
ARE LOWER NOW

A thorough college education ID
probably the least expensive Of all de.
sirable things, according to college au.
thorities. Time was when only the
sons and daughters of the very rich
could enjoy collegiate training. Now
college courses are open to nearly
every one.
The initial cost of a medium priced
automobile today will send a young
man or woman to college for two or
more years. The price paid for first
class radio receiving set will pay the
expenses Of student for almost a
year.
The average college spends more
upon the education and training OF a
student than 1t receives for tuition,
board and other expenses paid into its
treasury by the student. The deficit
between the fees received and the cost
OF maintaining the average COLLEGE of
nigh standing is met by endowment.
The Western Maryland College at
Westminster is an example of this.
It's students pay only 80 per cent. Of
the total cost of their collegiate train.
ing. Its endowment enables 1t to give
each student an education which per-
mits them to be accepted without
further examination, into universities
all over the world.
The trend Of progress among col.
leges is more and more to the develop
ment of the small college, that is to
say, to limiting the number of stu.
dents. Through this each student re.
ceives closer attention and is brought
into closer contact with his instruct.

ations of healthy men, looking for
ward to the day when they could
give their children better chance in
life than they had, give to them an
education, and build a little home for
the old lady to be secure in her old
age, proud and happy in the .knowl-

TT happened quicker than we can
L tell it. The trip climbed the OBJ
stacles, three of them. The entry was
mass of cars, coal and timber. A
red fluid mixed with the coal, satur-
ated it and passed on along the ditch
at the side of the haulage way, and
the cold hard coal was covered with
a sticky soft fleshy-like substance,
and the three men finally found re-

the anthracite in Pennsylvania.

per cent Of these cases are a direct
result of the negligence Of the coal
barons and from 1900 to $4,000 per
year injured to major or minor de-
gree. But what of that? It costs
the company nothing to continue to
butcher them, while it would cost a
few cents to make and keep man
holes.
And besides that, there are too
many men in the industry now, 2O0,-
900 too many of them; at least the
operators say so, and j. L. Lewis,
the miners president, also says so.

T;HE color of anthracite is red.
ADown in Pennsylvania millions of
tons of hard coal are produced yearly,
and if you look at it closely you will
see a red hue covers the mineral
when it is hoisted from the bowels of
the earth.
A flaming red splotch, with latter
ed flesh clinging to the ragged edges
of the coal CLEANS in the sunlight as
it is dumped into the chute, amidst a
crashing roar of sorting machinery
and a cloud of coal dust.
DED with the human blood and as
~ the boys pick out the dirt from
the coal as it passes along the pick
ing tables, they notice not the soft
dark spongy scraps mixed with the
coal. They are used to it, they have
seen it often, it is part Of their work.
On July s, three men in the anthra-
cite were crushed to death on the
main haulage way, as a result of an
other violation of the mining law. The
law provides that manholes, refuge
places" shall be made not more than
so feet apart, whitewashed and kept
in proper condition for the refuge of
the miners, when travelling or work
ing on the haulage roads as the trip
passes with the coal cars. But no
manholes were near, they were caught
in a trap.
VTiHE roar of the onrushing trip grew
4 louder, the men were frantic, the
cars were almost on them as they
raced for place of refuge. That is
a place of safety called a manhole.
The law says they are to have a
manhole, but the law doesn't amount
to anything to the hard coal mag
mates.
What thoughts were in their heads
that day as they realized their posi-
ton? No doubt, they became aware
of the trap in which they were
caught, and the impossibility Of es-

WTE have received the following in
w formation from Poland:
In the middle of the month Of July,
Count Alexander Skrzynski will visit
America. He is Poland's minister of
the foreign affairs. The government
of Poland has instructed him to get
a new loan from American bankers.
On the occasion of his visit to this
country he will deliver a few public
lectures about the heaven" existing
in Poland at the present time.
HtHE arrival of Count Skrzynski
4 should be given widespread pub
hcity among the Polish, Ukrainian
and White-Russian workers of this
country.
The American workers ought to
carry on a special campaign of meet
ings and demonstrations against the
terror that the government of Poland
is carrying on against the workers
and peasants, and national minorities
whose territory Poland has occupied.
It is necessary to inform the Ameri-
can public of the nature Of the gov
eminent which this Skrzynski is rep
resenting.
With his arrival it is necessary to
let everybody know about the arrests
and murders of workers and peasants,
mass prosecutions, the closing of
Ukrainian and White-Russian schools,
military colonization of Ukrainian and
White-Russian territory, by Polish
cossacks, and about many other bru-
tai acts of the Polish bourgeoisie.

4 protest meetings in the cities
where Count Skrzynski is going to
speak.

foreign minister owns the large estate

In 1909, Count Skrzynski joined the

Vienna. In 1910, he was appointed as

For a moment l leave the scene OF
sorrow and look into the Waldorf As
toria Hotel in New Yrk. What con-
trast. Pointed out to the writer few
weeks ago were the parasites wives
and daughters of the owners of the
hard coal, bedecked with jewels,
lounging at well-filled table covered
with all the choicest things eatable.
And couple of slaves waiting on
them, to attend to their lightest
wants. Sweet music was being sup
piled by a concealed orchestra, and
geranium perfume floated thru the air.

row, | recall the shudder l experience

sites congregated in the. luxurious
hotel eating of the bodies, and drink
ing the life blood Of the murdered
hard coal miners.
TUIIS state Of affairs must continue

the system of private ownership pre-
walls. Naturalization of mines with
control in the hands of the workers
to the end that service and safety
will be the first consideration is the
only cure for the disease of private
ownership and its resulting terrors.
And as our eyes wander back to
the mines we see cloud of dust aris-
ing in the atmosphere as the coal is
brought to the surface and dumped
into the chutes, amidst the noise Of
engines, shakers, picking tables, wash
ers, and brushes, and as the boys pick
the dirt from the coal, a soft, sticky
flesh-like substance is found and there

color of anthracite is red, red as the
