which will be useful in proportion to

COST OF COLLEGE EDUCATION
I'M S. PLACED AT TWO BILLION
More Strenuous Requirements Being Considered by
Universities as Student Enrolment
Continues to Gain Yearly.

Is a very large and rich country, and
should not be unduly disturbed In the
expenditure-which Is about one-sev-
enth of the annual motor vehicle bill.
Expect Political Showing.
But the country that provides the
money expended on higher education
has a right to ask that the college
graduate take an intelligent part in
the Government of the Nation, State.
county and city. In democracy like
the United States, one of the fmpor-
tant purposes of education must be
to train men for citizenship and gov
eminent. In a democracy, the PEG
pie rule; theirs is the power. theirs -
the voice that commands-and dern-
ocratic government can be no better
than it's people.
The country, therefore. has the
right to look to the 100000 college men
themselves that they can take an in
telligent part in political affairs.
If it is true that the college grad
uate must make an intelligent contri-
button to the Nations government.
it ID equally true that his career must
make contribution to the Nations
business.
Many fine men have not had college
training. but the reason for having
colleges is to produce even better men
and women who will do better work
for the Nation. Unless this is the
result. the time, energy and money
devoted to educating and training
young people in. college might better
be devoted to some other national
purpose. -

BY HOWARD ELLIOTT,
DISTINGUISHED Railroad Executive.

The complications Of modern life.
the righteousness Of it, and the con-
seQuent increase in the cost OF living
are forcing the country to analyze the
whole subject of higher education.
There Is such demand upon the col
leges and universities, that more and
more must the country consider
whether the applicant for higher edu-
cation is capable of taking full advan-
tage of the opportunities offered. The
country cannot afford to waste brains.
time, energy and money upon those
who misuse their brains. time, and
energy while they are in college.
Hence, there is a growing tendency
for more severe entrance require
ments. both mental and physical:
tendency TO limitation of numbers,
tendency to drop students out OF col
lege who appear unwilling or unable
to make wise use of their opportunl-
ties.
There are some who doubt the wis
dom of college education for so
many, and they raise the question as
to whether 1t is best for the country.
I am not one of those, but the re-
suits Of higher education must be bal
anced against the effort and cost. One
of the important questions before the
country is that of educational finance
and administration. with the purpose
Of improving the quality of the train
ing and at the same time reducing the
expense.
100000 Now In Colleges.
There are today over 100000 under
graduates in colleges and universities
in the United States, exclusive of pro-
fessional schools. These 100000
young men and women, supposedly
the best in the land, are taken from
the ordinary work of the world and
supported in pleasant academic at
mosphere. During that time the work
required of them is not very arduous.
A recent article in monthly mag
azine gives interesting figures about
the cost of their education. 1t states
that the average cost to the parent of
sending student through college is
$1,000 a year. For 100000 students,
this means 900.000,00O year. 1t
seems as IL this Is too high because it
is we'll known that great many stu
dents do not spend $500 year. But,
in any event, the aggregate cost Is
large. It may also be said that tut
ton, room, board and expenses Incl
dent to college life, that are paid by
the student, do not represent the total
cost Of his college years.
The writer OF the article estimates
that about So, 900 zoo. 900 is a fair esti-
mate OF the annual cost of college ed
ucation in this country. This large |
sum means that the country is spend |
ing more than 500 per week for put
ting these 100000 young people |
through college. Some think the re-
suits Of the college training do not I
justify the expenditure of all this
money. The United States, however,

The development of public health
conservation grew almost simultano.
ously in all civilized countries of the
world, and made the development of
international cooperation in the field
of public health inevitable. There
were various causes. The character.
istics Of disease itself furnished a
powerful stimulus. Political bounda
ries were not respected by disease. A
case of smallpox in Canada gave rise
to virulent epidemic in Minnesota
and Michigan. Typhus fever and
leprosy entered the United States from
Mexico. Trachoma was introduced
iato our large cities from Europe.
The increase in volume and rapidity
Of transportation played an important
part. Many and disastrous were the
lessons we had to learn before we real
ICED that disease was an international
problem, requiring international CO.
operation in it's prevention, and that a
country which attempted to isolate
herself was not able by her unaided
efforts to cope successfully with dis.
ease.
War Creates Problems.
As in other fields, the war created
new and important problems of dis
ease prevention. which the various
countries were unable to solve by
their unaided efforts. Those who
framed the League covenant were
aware of those fresh problems and
new difficulties. They wisely saw that
public health work occupied an impor-
tant place in the international field
So one paragraph of the covenant
bound the signatory states to take
measures in matters OF international
concern for the prevention and control
of diseases.
Before the outbreak of the World
War the need for international CO.
operation in the prevention of disease
had been realized. A number of in.
