One of the future problems of Johns
Hopkins is that Of putting the uni

vote itself exclusively to advanced IN

out our own salvation in these days
of extensive rather than intensive uni
versitv work. We shall also. | feel
sure, make a contribution to the gen

ing that there has been an unusual
stirring in educational waters in re-
cent years. l would, however, not
have it supposed that educational
waters are ever stagnant. In the

never been a time when educational
policies have not been seriously, and
| might add, sometimes acrimOniously
debated But the immediate past has
been, it seems to me, characterized by
rather extraordinary disturbances
disturbance noticeable all along the
line And the result of this disturb
ance seems to he an increasing convic-
ton that students should be given
greater freedom than is possible un-
der the fixed curriculumS that seem
to be almost inevitable In American
institutions. There is nothing against
which we have to guard ourselves

made known by the Chinese economic
bulletin. OF this population 1,657 900

the list with 100000 residents, not

figures include the neighboring cities

Szechwan province, least known of
China's provinces and perhap ps hardest
