VETERAN COLLEGE HEAD LAUDS YOUTH

President Thompson of Ohio Expresses Faith in Students. “Put a town of ten thousand persons down by a college of ten thousand students, and I am willing to wager the average of conduct in the college would be better than that in the town.” Thus did Dr. William O. Thompson, president of Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, here for the National Education Association convention, express the faith gained .n years of close association with college students. On his seventieth birthday, next Nov. 5, Dr. Thompson will retire as president of Ohio State University, after twenty-six years in office. He will become president emeritus. College Like Towns “College boys and girls are not so different from other people,” Dr: Thompson, continued In explanation of his attitude. "We have the problems a town has —drinking and ‘petting’ parties, etc. But you must remember that, whereas years ago a college was composed of perhaps 200 or 300 students of high grade, now ‘the Streets have gone to college,’ as one has said.” In his okvn regime at Ohio, Dr. Thompson has seen the enrollment increase from 1,100 to 11,500. College women as mothers receive d:heir share of commendation Defends Girl “I have a daughter,” he said. “She and her husband are both graduates of Ohio. In my daughter’s sorority, the girls, now married, average about three and a half babies each. These girls and their husbands make as good parents, or beter, than I made.” College' athletics, too, found a stanch defender in Dr. Thompson. “I wouldn't give tltr.ee whoops for a college without athletics,” he asserted. “We are a playing Nation. Sports and recreation are essential Os course, it Is overdone at times, just as everything else is.” ACT ON CONSTITUTION Final action on a proposed new constitution for the Indianapolis Traffic Club will be taken at the weekly luncheon Thursday at the Seevrin.

The meeting is held annually in connection with the national convention of the National Educational Association, in session here.

I do not know why the oldfashioned education does the work, but I am sure it does.” Andrew F. West, Princeton University, president of the league, submitted his annual report.

July I.—The United States Government —the biggest business in the world—closed its books today for the fiscal year 1925 with a surplus of about $260,000,000. This unexpected profit means that more than $600,000,000 may be available for the new tax reduction scheme to be worked out by the winter congress. Only $300,000,000 was available last year when congress slashed 25 per cent of the bill. The new figures for this fiscal year and estimates for the one ending next June indicated that twice that amount will be available for the new cut. If the ordinary policy of permitting all the surplus to be used for tax reduction Is followed the present bill of the tax pawer would be cut down about fifty per cent.
