Amherst stiffened entrance requirements — and reports a new record in applications. The University of Pennsylvania had to turn away 2,500. Dartmouth has selected 650 Freshmen from more than two thousand applicants. Harvard University enrolled 7,305 students on the opening day — 350 more than on the first day last year. Cornell University set off with more than 5,000 names on the books despite limitations set on students in the College of Arts and Sciences. In the first quarter of this century America’s population increased 50 per cent. But America’s college population grew sevenfold. Last year there was an estimated total of 775,000 strugglers for higher education in the United States. The many more who knock yearly at college doors cannot be discouraged. Privately-endowed colleges have set arbitrary limits to their population. Dartmouth takes only 2,000, Williams 750, Wellesley 1,600, Vassar 1,150. Princeton closed the rolls for the class of ’30 when 617 Freshmen had signed. This is the smallest Freshman class in recent years. The limit was due to the larger enrollment in upper classes... This Freshmen group will be the first to enjoy the new plan of study by which men who have shown exceptional ability in “prep” work will be placed in advanced groups for special study.

Most of the great universities — particularly those State-endowed — cannot frame their enrollment too arbitrarily. By the terms on which they exist they cannot refuse to take the State’s children. They must ask for increased appropriations for new buildings and more professors. And they find that the legislature which talks so grandly of education for the offspring of the voters becomes quickly reticent when asked for more of the voters’ tax money to make that education adequate. Columbia University is proud of its huge undergraduate body, Not because of its hugeness. “It is one of the unfortunate characteristics of the time in which we live that size and qualitative measurements count for so much in the public mind,” said Mr. Nicholas Murray Butler on the twenty-fifth anniversary of his appointment as Acting President. “Our great enrollment is simply indicative of public satisfaction with our purpose and our method. Our growing enrollment is only evidence of widespread and general public support, followed by careful and conservative financial administration.” As a group, the small colleges have profited by the situation. They hand-pick their men and women then they shut their neatly-chosen doors and go serenely about the business of turning out “the typical Dartmouth man” and “the ideal Vassar girl.” The great universities are solving their problem of selection

They hand-pick their men and women then they shut their neatly-chosen doors and go serenely about the business of turning out “the typical Dartmouth man” and “the ideal Vassar girl.” The great universities are solving their problem of selection by an elaborate machinery of examinations, questionnaires and interviews. A growing number of colleges use intelligence tests to supplement the traditional “exams.” A curious brain meter called the “scholastic aptitude test” has made its appearance. But students who can pass examinations and intelligence tests are still too many. Yale is taking also into account scholastic records, character, religion and... finances. Williams requires not only acceptable scholastic records and guaranteed moral character, but information concerning the personality of the prospective students, ability to "mix," industry and energy, reliability and initiative, and creative ability, interests and enthusiasms at "prep" school. Some idea of financial rating is obtained by asking if the student intends to apply for scholarship aid or if he had at "prep" school what is delicately called "remuneration" at the college. The West has been fertile ground for the system of junior colleges, which gives the first two years of work in small schools. There are more than twenty junior colleges in California alone. Some new schools are being started to cure for surplus knowledge seekers —or perhaps merely degree seekers. But the new schools are not numerous enough to make much impression.

The most spectacular plans with regard to size are those of the Duke Foundation's new university in North Carolina. Brooklyn City College had opened its doors to seven hundred men and five hundred women. Workmen are still busy on the eight floors which the college occupies in the new building at Willoughby and Bridge Streets. Dr. A. G. Gradenburgh and his faculty had only three weeks to install classrooms and prepare for students. Only Freshman and Sophomore courses are offered. Within two years provision must be made for a complete course. Many a great American university has started with a far smaller personnel than that opening Brooklyn College. The new educational plant is under the management of trustees of Hunter College and of the College of the City of New York. Three additional members specially represent Brooklyn. The population of this borough ranks it with such university towns as Paris, Berlin, Vienna, and Philadelphia.

THE TALK OF LONDON The Coal Crisis and Trade—Peat Hawked in Streets—Inventions on Show—In Birmingham. London, Wednesday. As winter descends on Britain, the ill effects of the coal stoppage become more apparent. Imports are increasing out of all proportion to exports and at a time of year when exports should be on the upgrade. According to the figures issued by the Board of Trade, the value of imports for September has increased by more than £500,000 since the statistics for August were issued. Exports, on the other hand, have shown an increase of only £405,000, in a month when, normally, they should be showing much more. When it is considered that exports of coal, which amounted to £3,659,844 last year during September, are valued this year at about £4,000, it becomes clear what cause is responsible for falling trade figures. Again, imports of coal in September of last year were less than three hundred, while this year nearly four million tons of foreign coal have been bought by the country to maintain its industries. The coal strike may have brought ruin to a good many people, but it certainly has done no harm to the street sellers of logs and peat. Usually they do not make their appearance until November, but already one finds at least one cart piled high with such fuel in almost every street in Chelsea and Kensington during the morning. Most of the men are growing into minor capitalists as a result of the eccentricities of Comrade Cook, and

Most of the men are growing into minor capitalists as a result of the eccentricities of Comrade Cook, and several of the "hawking" coal dealers of the capital are deserting their usual areas for the more profitable logs. Shoes That Grow—British invention shown to the Institute of Patents' first International Exhibition of Inventions at the Central Hall, Westminster, which opened today, to last until October 23, is a shoe which grows with the child. You buy a pair of these shoes for a child of six. When they are too small for him, you remove an inner lining from the sole and top. The shoes, it is said, then fit him exactly. This is done without damaging the structure or substance of the footwear. The shoe is given two lives. Other contraptions include: A tool for opening Yale locks when the key has been mislaid. Miniature house trolley, 4 1/2m. to 5in. high, for carrying heavy weights. When not required, it hangs on the wall. Foot support: Rubber block, 1 in. square, fitting under the arch of the foot. Improving Birmingham A vast improvement in the traffic and shopping facilities in Central Birmingham is proposed by the Civic Society. This is the replacement of the existing footbridge across New Street Station by a main thoroughfare. By this means, coupled

Improving Birmingham A vast improvement in the traffic and shopping facilities in Central Birmingham is proposed by the Civic Society. This is the replacement of the existing footbridge across New Street Station by a main thoroughfare. By this means, coupled with an extension, a direct arterial connection is proposed to be made between the bigth and South sides of the city —from Corporation Street to Bristol Street. The present routes are circuitous and congested. Following his return from the Continent to give him an opportunity to the Birmingham police authorities, who were searching for him, Arthur Ernest Parker, City Councillor and Guardian, has been charged with obtaining £240 by false pretenses. When he was arrested in the early hours of the morning at the house of his married son in Birmingham, he said that the charge was "bunkum." After formal evidence at the police court, Parker was remanded for eight days and granted bail of £1,000. The two chief features of Parker's life have been success in business and his hospitality. He started work as an insurance agent but soon transferred his attention to the boot trade. He built up a large business in Birmingham as a boot factor and then proceeded to spend his riches in lavish hospitality. He entertained on the largest scale. Lady Dimsdale Inquiry A verdict of "suicide while of unsound mind" was returned at the inquiry on the body of Lady Dimsdale at Paddington yesterday.

Lady Dimsdale Inquiry A verdict of "suicide while of unsound mind" was returned at the inquiry on the body of Lady Dimsdale at Paddington yesterday. She was found unconscious in a London hotel with a half-empty bottle of poisonous disinfectant by her side. She died after admission to St. Mary's Hospital. It was made clear at the inquest that her relatives-in-law sought to help her, but that money that had been given to her had always been squandered in drink. Flour Up: Bread Down Simultaneously with an announcement that the London Flour Millers had advanced the price of standard grade flour one shilling to 49s. for 2801b. came reports of a reduction in the price of bread in certain areas. The reductions were announced in various parts of South London. In Southwark, Bermondsey, Camberwell, and other of the South Eastern districts there was a "cut" of one half penny in the 41b loaf, bringing it down to 8½d. delivered. It is sold over the counter at 8d. Kissing Burglar Sentenced. A sentence of five years’ penal servitude has been passed in Bristol on William Henry Maloney, aged thirty-one, seaman, for burglary at a Bristol vicarage, where he frightened and kissed a servant girl in her bedroom.

LONDON THEATRES Nouvelles des Républiques de l’Amérique Latine ARGENTINE Le prince Fernand de Hohenzollern, après avoir offert une fête d’adieu, s’est embarqué pour l’Europe sur le Cap Polonia. Les fêtes de la Place et de l’anniversaire de la découverte de l’Amérique ont commencé à Buenos-Aires au milieu d’un grand enthousiasme. La cérémonie de remise de diplômes qui a eu lieu à la Faculté de droit de Buenos-Aires a été très brûlante. Le conseil des ministres a décidé de maintenir le budget qui a été approuvé par la Chambre des députés. Le mariage de Mlle Esther Callén Faunero avec M. Louis Albert Pero a été célébré hier à Buenos-Aires. Pendant les huit premiers mois de l’année courante il a été importé en République Argentine 360,029 automobiles et camions D’après de récentes statistiques, l’Argentine disposerait de plus d’un million de tonnes de blé pour l’exportation. Les disponibilités ne manqueraient donc pas comme le bruit en a couru. S’il y a eu un arrêt, dans l’exportation de blé, c’est uniquement en raison des prix élevés du fret. — Les députés nationaux argentins Fiorillo, Aguirre et Lopez ont présenté à la Chambre un projet de loi autorisant le gouvernement à affecter une somme de 8,720,000 piastres, papier à la construction d’une ligne de chemin de fer de Posadas à Général Pinedo (Chaco.), soit

Avant d’unir le port de Santa-Fe avec le territoire du Chaco et la province de Santiago del Este. BRESIL Le Syndicat des Producteurs de Bois de Curitiba, qui fonctionne depuis juillet dernier, vient de conclure un accord financier avec les compagnies de chemin de fer de Sao Paulo et Rio Grande et avec la Southern Brazil. L’opération assure au syndicat l’ouverture d’un crédit de 10 millions de reis qui va faciliter aux producteurs de bois l’écoulement des formidables stocks qu'ils possèdent tant dans l’état de Parana que dans l’état voisin de Santa Catharina. Afin de venir en aide aux producteurs de sucre, la Commission des Finances de la Chambre des Députés de Pernambuco a présenté à cette assemblée un projet tendant à autoriser l’exportation à l’étranger de 200,000 sacs de sucre brut et de 300,000 flesses de "cana" exempts des droits de sortie. CHILI On vient de découvrir à Santiago du Chili une organisation internationale de trafiquants d'opium qui s’étendait à toute l'Amérique du Sud. Des importations clandestines se faisaient dans les ports de la côte Chilienne. De là, à dos de mule, les ballots étaient transportés à travers les Andes, à La Paz, notamment.
