Teachers Outnumber Students At School Australian School In Unusual Feature CANBERRA, Australia IT* —An unusual type of university is growing up in Australia’s national capital. which 40 years ago was just bo many acres of sheep country. Unlike the country’s five other universities located in the different state capitals, the Australian National University has its students outnumibered five-to-one by the tfacultyq,and research staff. \ The National University is essentially a research institution. It now has an academic staff of about 200 and less than 40 pupils. And the university Intends to keep the proportion that way, because |t is to be the country’s top research center. ( A university was part of the original plan for (,'anljerra — designed in 190© by a Chicago architect, Walter B. Griffin. But it Was not until 1946 thht parliament passed a bill, to establish the National University. Actual work started in 1949. when administra-' five headquarters moved into a temporary building on the site al-

lotted the university. One of the National University’s vital -purposes is to provide facilities for star graduates from other universities to do their post-grad-uate W’ork, in Australia instead of going overseas. In many cases Australia’s best brain and talent never came back. That’s why the student minority at ANU is made up of honor graduates from other universities. .Four Sohools Present | students are studying for dbctorites in philosophy, and the university expects to turn out its first Ph.'D’s by the end of 1953. . A well-known nuclear, physicist, Prof. LMarcus Qliphant, is the present actings vice-chancellor of the National University. He took over when the first vice-chancellor. Sir Douglas Copland left Australia, to become high commissioner to Canada.

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE BROWN read the sheet of blue paper, looked up, read it again, cleared his throat—a sure sign that what he had to say was going to be difficult. ■ “Mrs. Redding . . . Miss Walton . . He looked from one to the other. “We must all try to be brave.” Parlotta closed her eyes for a moment, then faced him steadily. "Read it to us,” she demanded. Brown still hesitated. “I think you may as well,” said Randolph. Brown cleared his throat again. The note Was brief. *'l just can’t face it, the police and all. Os course I did it. He threatened to expose me, and make us poor. I was afraid of that. I had a gun and threw it overboard afterwards. But Todd saw tt. I was hunting the will when the captain caught me, and 1 had to get away. I didn’t mean to hurt him. By the time you read this, I will be over the side. Now you know everything, and you can go home. Good-bye. Laurence O. Redding” Gay moaned. \ **O h n o, it can’t be true. He hasn’t ...he wouldn’t ...You will have to find him . . She half rose from her chair, her hand at her throat, her eyes staring blindly. Then she pitched forward. There were no histrionics this time. She had fainted. After Gay had been revived and Dr. Randolph and Macbeth had taken het to her cabin, Lisa, Brown, Carlotta, and I sat on numbly. Todd had disappeared. This new disaster forced us into a coalescence of misery, and nobody felt like breaking away. I had asked Brown to let me see Larry’s note, and I sat reading it over and over. The more I read it, the more I thought that there was something very queer about it, and at last I decided to speak up. “Did you notice he spoke of throwing his gun overboard? Yet, Mr. Brown, you said you found a gun on the deck and pitched it over yourself.” “Poor Larry must have forgotten that,” Carlotta murmured. “He wasn’t very bright.” “What do you make of it?” I asked. Brown looked at me gravely. “It could mean that Redding was making a false confession. It could mean that the real murderer was still on board.” Carlotta appeared suddenly to remember that she was the widow. She gave a choking sob, pressed her handkerphief to her eyes. “I can’t bear to think of him,” she ■said, els she groped her way out of the room. Lisa Tremaine looked as though her disapproval of everything and everybody had reached a point which was inexpressible. “I shall take a bit of a lie-down," she said. “We might ask that doctor for sleeping pills all around. I am sure he has plenty.”

The National University has four schools: medical research, social science, Pacific studies and physical sciences. The last is the “glamour” school because of its association with atomic research.

I couldn’t talk any more. It seemed to me that the time had come for me to go into action. I left her there with Brown, and made my way to the promenade deck. One question kept churning around in my mind. Why had Todd appeared so terrified when he discovered that Larry had Jumped overboard? It had seemed to suck the courage and the cockiness right out of him, and he was like a different person when he came back from his unsuccessful search. When I stepped outside, I noticed that the ship had slowed down so much that it could barely be held into the waves. Although the storm itself was over, the sea was still so disturbed that only a sea gull could have been happy on the spray-washed decks. I made my way to the bridge, and found it in charge of a sulky Hezekiah, who informed me that the captain was personally conducting the party looking over the Bpiritus for Mr. Redding. That was all he could tell me, nor would he comment on it, or on anything else. I went on down to deck B, Intending to go as far as the hold if I had to. In the little writing room, I saw Brown, sitting alone, and he got up and came toward me. He wanted me to know, he said, that he was convinced of Robert’s innocence as I was, and that he would do anything he could to help me. I asked him what he thought he could do, and he said, frankly nothing, at the moment, but he was sure it would work out. 1 left bim, and went down to deck C. The ship was turning slowly. Evidently the search on board for poor Larry had been unsuccessful, and now the formality of looking for him in the troubled water must be carried out. If he had Jumped during the storm, as we supposed, this was a sheer waste of effort. The wide and aimless circling added the last touch es horror to the heavy afternoon, i I crossed the afterwell deck, and went in to the “black gang’s” quarters under the poop. I was aware of a large, semidark space with berths around it, and from the berths the flash of several sets of white teeth. I held the door open, and felt my heart knocking. “Can anyone tell me the way to the brig?” There was no need to tell them why I wanted it. I felt sure that by the grapevine they knew. , “ ■ A wizened little fellow, whom I had never seen before, shuffled forward and offered to guide me. I followed him gladly. He led me to one of the heaviest steel doors I ever saw. The heat was terrible, and what with that and the closeness of the air, and the worry as to what might be happening, to Robert behind that awful door, I felt myself becoming seasick. I gulped my way back up the ladder, and out into the fresher air before the dining salon. There I bumped into Todd.

Agreeability at all costs seemed to be his new role, for he, twisted his ratty face into a smile. “Meggie and me was Wondering, m’lady, would you Join us in M cup of tea? You being American and all that” I hesitated, feeling more miserable than I can ever remember being before or since, but I accepted. We went into the da lon, and Todd, who moved stealthily nc matter what he was doing, slid open the panel. Through it I daw Macbeth in the galley take off a steaming kettle and fill a brown earthenware teapot on a tray already laid. She pushed it through to Todd, then came around and plumped down complacently ft the blond mahogany table. “This Is homely, 1 pg ust say,” Macbeth remarked to us. She was on her third strong cup before she began to let me see why they had Invited me. She gave me a smile as ingratiating as a mousetrap. | “Tammie and me was thinking, m’lady, you knew more than you was telling.” A shiver of apprehension ran over me. “What makes you think so?” “Well now, you heard the poor master talking at the rail the night he was done in, and you ran up the first lady on deck afterwards. Then Tammie saw you under the window of that she-devfl, excuse the word, Mrs. Redding, We, thought you might be snooping,' like.” , “I don’t snoop," I said, with a frozen dignity. “I don’t know anything. I wish I did.” Todd was searching my face with his shifty eyes. “No offense meant, Pm sure. We’ve all got a duty to snoop, and see Justice done." “I want to find the murderer,” 1 said. “I’ve got to find him.” 1 “That’s Just it!” Macbeth exclaimed triumphantly. Todd leaned forward insinuatingly. “We don’t think it was his lordship, I can tell you that Suppose I was to tell you that I could get him out? Suppose I knew where the key was kept, and suppose I had a duplicate for me and Meggie, just in case.” “I will be grateful if you can help me,” I said. “It might cost a good deal of money,” Todd said. With all my heart I wanted to give him a poke in the jaw, but Robert would have been proud of the way I controlled myself. \ “I have no money, as you very well know. But I have a diamond pin. It is the only Jewelry they would let me take out except my engagement ring. If you will really get him out and bring him to me safely I will give you that|" “It s a deal,” Toidd said, -and winked at me. I declined a second cup of tea abruptly, and made for the door. They were still drinking when I left them. (To Be Continued) ; %
