AS President Birge said at the Leg
islative Banquet few days ago:
with such proposals before the Leg
islature, do you wonder that the Re-
gents have not found president for
the University? What man of ability
will leave his present position, and
come to Wisconsin in order to close
departments, discharge teachers, re-
duce salaries--in word, to take an ac-
tive administrative part in degrading
an institution to which the legislature
refuses adequate and ordinary sup
port?'
As President Birge is just complet-
ing his 50th year on the faculty, 35
years of which he has served as dean
or president, he was speaking from
long experience when he said, on the
same occasion:
"The University is today confronted
by situation more serious than any
it has met during the years that have
passed since Governor Fairchild sign
ed the reorganization bill of 1866. This
is primarily a financial crisis, due to
proposals now before the legislature"
1t is not necessary to go back to
1866 to give the gist of the story be-
hind his statement. Go back to 1908
-22 years. In that year, when there
were but 1879 students on the campus.
Dr. C. R. Van Hise, the new president,
enuneiated his "New Ideal of State
University" There began a period of
development equaled in few other uni
yersities. New fields of work and
courses of study were developed. Big
men were brought into the faculty
Enrolment mounted rapidly. Students
came from all over the world to study
at Wisconsin. Fine new buildings
were erected.
In just few years the University
rose from a. comparatively obscure
place TO one of leadership. In 1903,
President Eliot of Harvard called it
''the leading state university"
All that was largely due to the fact
that, behind the energy on the campus,
the legislature stood ready with ade-
quate funds and new buildings to meet
the growing needs.
Now Almost Intolerable.
The first real setback came with the
Repeal of the 1918 building appropria-
tions. 0vercrowding the 5000 mark,
DR.. Van Hise told the legislature that
the situation was "intolerable."
But the war was on: then reconstruc-
ton followed and necessary economy.
When the need for economy had pass
cd, the habit continued. Now, seven
years after the war, the state is still
demonstrating" Each biennium the
state officials have said to the Univer-
sity Regents.
@Be patient. Just wait till things
ease up. Next session the University
can have some buildings
On the campus, things have not wait
ed. Enrolment shot up to almost =
900 in 1919. and has climbed steadily
since. Last fall, practically 5000 stu
dents registered; during the current
year, including summer session, almost
10000 different students will have en-
rolled; and in June $500 will be
graduated.
Evidently the people of the state
are not "economizing"-they are send
ing their children to the University in
increasing numbers.
Next / shall tell of the millions Wis
consin spends on luxuries while her
University begs for adequate support.

The Netherlands Come to
Kenosha for Safety and
Traffic Rules.
TRAFFIC IS PROBLEM
Request Comes from "Hoofbu-
reau van Polite te Amster-
dam" to Chief Logan.

Chief Logan has just received a
novel letter of inquiry into police work
coming from the distant city of Am
sterdam, Holland, the city of dykes
and bridges, where the excuse of the
children for being late to school is in
variably that the bridge was up"
There is always some bridge up, so the
excuse is always valid one.
Solomon may come to Sheba yet, to
seek wisdom, when the age-old city of
Amsterdam comes so far afeld across

Text of Letter.
The letter is self-explanatory and
ready as follows:
Dear Sir:
Il should like to ask of you "a few
moments attention to the following
lines: 1t is not unknown to me that
of late in the U. S. A. the departments
of police and public safety Of several
cities have taken measures to regulate
the ever-increasing traffic as we'll as
possible, thus to decrease the num-
Der of traffic accidents. The so-called
Safety First movement owes it's exis-
tence to this and there is no doubling
but this action will be successful as
it is dealt with in such a splendid
and effective way.
"In European cities just as well, be
it in a less degree, traffic problems
arise and here too the number of ac-
cidents increases and it gets very
Il 1o4f - He
without technical resources.
Consequently, being chief of the
traffic department at Amsterdam, it
would be very pleasant to me to re-
ceive@ from you some further informa-
tion on the Safety First movement of
your city, and at the same time l shall
be highly interested in making ac-
quaintance with treatises, magazines,
catalogues, ETC., on the following SUBJ
jects:
II. Safety First movement { also
prints with reference to this.)
80. Signalling apparatuses, direc-
ton indicators, light signals, sema-

"3. Traffic signals, used both by
drivers and point policemen.

signs and other technical resources.
80. The parking of motor cars in
public roads.
Government laws and police regu-
lations dealing with traffic.
"7. Traffic regulations near schools.
Fairgrounds, etc.
eve thank you in anticipation very
much and if we can serve you at any
time in return, please do not hesitate
to command.
eve are, dear sir,
"Yours very respectfully,

QUAINT HOSPITAL
AIDS MILWAUKEE
Tiny Hospital in Milwau-
lxee Does Much to Aid
Poor There.
CALLED A WORKSHOP


Milwaukee, Wis.-Tucked away be-
tween business houses here lies an
odd little workshed in which an uni
que service to the poor of the city is
being carried on. Poor children and
grown-ups afflicted with paralysis or
injured in industrial accidents and
unable to afford the proper medical at
tenticn are given treatments By an
experienced staff in this quaint hos
pital, maintained by the Milwaukee
Junior lague.
Hundreds of persons pass by this
tiny hospital each day, without not
icing ii or realizing the work it does
for the community. Those who do
glance up as they pass see plain in
scription on the plate glass window
Of what appears to be retail shop
which reads 1.-THE Milwaukee Junior
League Workshop" IF the inscription
is sufficient TO arouse the curiouslty
of the passerby he stops for moment
to inspect the window display of far
tastic scrolled Easter tops or fairy
land tables OF fancy woven baskets.
Some Peek Through Windows.
The unusual display without price
tags or advertisements causes some to
venture peep through the glass door
and with it comes the realization that
those toys required hours of pains
taking labor for tiny paralytic hands
that had to be trained TO move the
fingers back and forth for months be-
fore they could even grasp in an
awkward way the instrument with
which to fashion them.
Seventy patients each month are
given treatment and taught q craft to
help them earn a living by the staff
of the workshop. The workshop
cares for only those persons in poor
circumstances whom are called to its
attention by physicians. Twice a
week members of the league have
their automobiles call at the homes of
the patients to bring them to the
workshop. There they are given treat
ments and taught craft which ex
ercises their raralyzed muscles. Work
ers from the hospital visit the homes
of the patients to teach those at home
to give the treatments tina the pat
tents receive at the workshop.
