Its leaders evidently believe that there is a field for an institution that restricts its curriculum: and invites only students who are intensely interested in these branches. By this: method Princeton hopes to be able to confer degrees upon students who have attained real proficiency. A premium is set on scholarship. 4 . The many departments offered by some universities' preclude a selected2 enrollment, as the very multiplirityljof studies offered brings with it a large enrollment. There is a distinct place in the American educational field for universities of this type, which, differing from Princeton and its restricted enrollment, insist on high scholarship as a prerequisite for a degree. Princeton's new policy invites attention to the advantages which many small colleges offer. They may not offer an abundance of courses, but the curriculum nevertheless is broad enough to include the essentials which a young man and woman needs. With small enrollments, as compared with the big institutions, professors are able to give more attention to the individual student, the result being that the training which the student receives often is superior to that of the larger schools. Many small colleges, Earlham, for instance, have national reputations for their scholarship and for the ability of their graduates. Small classes, with the close supervision of the professors in charge, account in no small degree for the proficiency of the men and women who annually are added to the roll of graduates. The small college plays an important part in our educational system, and its development within certain restrictions should not be overlooked or neglected. We must always have great universities where the accumulated knowledge of the world is preserved on a large scale and extensive research work carried on, but the small college' also has a well defined function in training our youth and preparing them for life.

How Great Britain May Pay Her Debt The proposal that Great Britain cede to us the West Indies and other possessions as payment of a debt of $4,335,000,000, which she owes us, is receiving serious consideration in quarters where the financial aspectstof the case have been given serious thought. A repudiation of her obligations to us is believed to be impossible because of the economic flareback that would result. Financiers and economists, however, are wondering where England will get the money to meet the obligation. Her supply of gold is too low to cover the indebtedness, and further accumulations of this metal in this country, it is fearedwould not help us. Vast importations of goods from Great Britain also are not wanted, for they will glut our markets and slow up our own factories. To obviate these difficulties it is suggested

West Indies, British Honduras and British Guiana, none of which is regarded as of great commercial and strategic interest to her. The acquisition of these possessions by , the United States would not enhance our commercial relations very much, but they would prove of great strategic importance in the defense of the Panama canal and of the seaboard generally. Commenting on this proposal, which has been made by a number of prominent Americans, including Albert J. Beveridge, the Chicago Tribune says : "Great Britain can neither efford to pay us now, nor can she afford to refuse to pay us. If Great Britain could pay us promptly in gold or goods we could not afford to take the payment. But the cession of the West Indies and of British Honduras would be a small sacrifice to Great Britain and a real benefit to us, while the consequent reduction of the British debt to us would be of great benefit to Great Britain and no great

actual sacrifice to us. "It would seem that the common sense of this proposal should appeal to both the British and American peoples. It offers a way out of a very serious difficulty; a way out of a difficulty not unlikely to create or intensify ill feeling where there should be good feeling; a way toward better relations and a securer amity in the future. "It is highly expedient if not essential to the United States that we should command the approaches to the canal. The West Indies dominate or threaten those approaches and the command of the Caribbean. We would be justified, therefore, in paying a price for their special cession based on their special value to us, a price higher than their economic or strategic value to Great Britain would fix. The bargain, therefore, would be fair and profitable to both countries and we believe would have beneficial effects of considerable weight in Anglo-American relations."

MEXICO'S PRESIDENT AND FIRST LADY GREET U. S. VISITORS

Good Evening By Roy K. Moulton

It is .possible to identify all married nien mow by the neckties their wives pick out. George Washington didn't lie. but then in those days there wasn't so much to lie about as there is now. , "UNTIED." Miss Mollie Poe, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Newton .-E.

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can", "Take It". "Up"NEVER REMAIN WHIPPED! The strong man is the one who is never ready to accept as decisive either defeat or victory. He never rests upon his oars, nor on his back too long. He sees in winning a kind of spur and in defeat a new lesson in the stiffening of Ihe lip. - But the man who is whipped, Is dead in life! Some men and women show fn their very faces that they never expect happiness or any sort of success. Like the dog who Is afraid to fight for his rights, with his tail to the ground and his nose low, they go slinking along, fearful of the sorrow and unmindful of all the wealth of beauty that floats about every inch of their existence: Never acknowledge that you are whipped! For you are the only person in the world who Is able to tell anyAnd If no one knows then you aren't whipped, are you? We must all take beatings. And they are bound to keep us down and full of disheartenment for a time. But the longest lane has a turnlight in time if it isn't whipped. The bravest fear. All of us have to keep schooling ourselves for an average victory in order to be able to bear any extraordinary victory when it comes. So look up and buck up. Face the music. Walk right into the crowd and have your say. Stand man-high. There isn't a person or circumstance or event big enough to whip you without your giving your consent. And you aren't going to do It, are you?

Answers to Questions I

- i READER. What is the political faith of the authors of the SmithTowner bill? The authors of the Smith-Towner bill are Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia, Democrat, and Representative Horace M. Towner of Iowa, Republican. MOTHER. Please tell me the names of the Three Wise Men of the East spoken of in the Bible. This is a term collectively applied to the three "magi" who came from the East to salute and adore the infant Jesus at Btehlehem of Judea, .According to the commonly accepted tradition their names were Balthazar, Gaspar and Melchoir. But other names given to the Three Wise Men are: (1) Apellius, Amerus and Damascus; (2) Magalath, Gaglagath and Sarasin: (3) Alor, Sator and Peratoras. Still others say they were Shem, Ham and Japheth. who were asleep and woke at the Nativity. St. John Chrysostom tells us that St. Thomas baptized the three kings, or wise men. which came to Bethlehem to worship the infant Jesus, after which he went to India to preach the Gospel. Another tradition

is recorded by Klopstock in the Messiah to the effect that there were six of these wise men who were guided by the star to the lowly manger in which the Christ Child was born. These men are said to have been Hadad, Selima, Zlmri, Mirja, Beled and Sunith.

Rippling Rhymes By WALT MASON

POOR HUMANITY Sometimes I think the human race has very little fun; less pleasure than brutes that chase and gambol in the tun. I'd like to be a bob-o-link and circle in the air; for little birds like this. I tbink.know naught of human care. They bear no burden on, their

backs, no weary load that kills; they do not pay an Income tax, or face big

monthly bills. I'd like to be a kanga

roo upon a desert plain, and I would bop a mile or two. and then hop back again. Sometimes sad thoughts like these I think, when life has made me hot; but some one shoots the bob-o-lmk, and I remain unshot. The lower animals I view, and think them satis

fied; but some one slays the kangaroo that he may tan his hide. "I'd like to be a crocodile." in peevish mood I wail, "and I would swim the storied Nile and smash things with my tail." But crocodiles know little mirth, and much of woe they've known; for every critter on this earth has troubles of its own. But cats and wolves and grizzly bears and cows and birds and snakes don't publish forth their daily cares, their little pains and aches. They take existence as it comes, the bitter with the sweet, and, being short of muffled drums, they look for things to eat.
