Enrolment Sets Record.
When the final check-up on the 1885,
81 enrolment is made at the university
it is pretty certain that the Old Line
school will have more than 1900 stu
dents for the first time in history here.
This will mean that the College
Park branch Of the university has grown
from $50 students to 10 times that
many within a scope Of a little more
than Is years.
While the figures checked up for the
first two days Of enrolment by Miss
Alma Prienkert, assistant registrar in
charge at College Park, showed only
456 freshmen, the list has since in
creased and doubtless will grow until
it comes close to 500 If it does not
eventually exceed that mark. This also
will set a record
The. 456 to register on the first two
days were 70 more than the 364 to
enroll in the same period last year
and the ratio of increase is likely to
be retained.
There also were few casualties among
the upper class who reported on Thurs
day, but complete check on the total
has not yet been made.
More than so per cent of the new
students, 2S8 are from within the
State, 1919 are from the District of
Columbia, came from Mexico and
the others come from nine different
States.

French Atlantic coast tonight was being
swept by gale which at times reached
the proportions OF tempest from the
southwest, endangering a number of
small merchant ships and delaying

weathered the gale. Many fishing boats
were reported in trouble off the coast

SPINACH FALLS
OFF 500 CARS
Reduction Blamed to Freeze
And Fewer Acres
Planted
Especial to The Herald)

NEW YORK. Jan. ia reduc-
ton OF 500 cars in the anticipated
shipments OF spinach for January
Is now conceded by heavy buyers
Of the crop on this market. II
now looks as IL only 1900 cars will
be shipped during the month COM
pared with 2.077 car during jan
uary n year ago.
The reduction Is blamed on the
freeze that hit the fields at Nor
folk nearly one month ago and the
reduced acreage and drought In
Texas. AS a result Of the decreased
shipments the market has advanced
Is cents per bushel on all grades
and sales are now ranging 20 TO
so cents per bushel higher than last
season. The top OF the market this
week has been around 81 80 per
bushel compared with 90 cents and
SIPS last year.
Evidence OF the lighter move
ment Is recorded IN the smaller
car-lot shipments leaving both i'm
portant shipping states. The total
cars loaded have dropped of over
100 cars per week and further re-
auctions are anticipated as the
month advances. Shipments from
Virginia have fallen off so per
cent and ar only Is per cent Of
one year ago. With approximately
500 yet to compared with
1000 last season, it 10 appears
that the bulk OF the spinach ship
ments must come from Texas dur
ing the remainder Of the winter.
The spinach shipments for the
country are about equal with last
season. Shipn ,nts so far this sea-
son total 1873 cars compared with
1865 to the same date in 1929. A
comparison Of Norfolk shipments
with those iron. Texas. shows that
Norfolk IS about 400 cars under
last season and Texas Is about 400
cars ahead.
South Car lima VIII not be an
important factor In the deal this
year. So far this Isl her load
ings have been only % cars COM
pared with 2 last year and o total
for the season OF III cars.
Higher spinach prices are likely
20 prevail during the rest OF the
season due to the lighter ship

IMITATION in
EDUCATION SEEN
Texas Spends $3.50 per Year
On Students In
Colleges
Special 10 The Heraldl

AUSTIN, Jan 10-Texas higher
education now has reached the
question Of limiting college and
university attendance, though 1t Is
none too common" Pres. H. Y.
Benedict OF the University OF Tex
as said in the January Texas Out
look. publication Of the State
Teachers association. Texas Is
spending abou $3.50 per year per
student In higher education, he
said.
Higher entrance requirements and
fewer university students Is n OF
the three problems into which Pres.
Benedict resolved the financing OF
college and university education In
Texas. He stated the matter as q
problem and not as a solution, and
invited attention OF the 10000 Tex
as teachers to the whole question
OF the states duty toward the
graduates Of the public schools.
Whether ell the young people who
seek it shall get free college and
university education is bound up,
according to Pres. Benedict's an
alysys. in three questions:
1. Increased and sure support by
way OF higher taxation.
2. Increased and sure support BY
increased student fees.
3. Decreased student bodies, by
increased requirements.
Texas spends only two-thirds as
much as the national average for
education, both grade and higher
education, Or. Benedict pointed
out. Since the wealth and income
of Texas Ire only two-thirds the
national average, DR.. Benedict said
we find Texas in proportion to its
financial position is putting only
a little less than the average into
her schools.
DR.. Benedict made this comment
concerning legislative appropria-
tons:
Contrary to a lot Of talk which
blanes the legislature for most OF
the evils that beset the common
wealth, that body IS, ] believe, TO
be commended and not blamed.
Many members deserve great praise,
working diligently for the public
welfare under difficult and crowd
ed conditions. The legislature IS
far less 20 blame than careless,
uniformed public opinion"

question. whether youths shall be
