While the American relief administrator continues to feed some 500,000 children in the devastated areas and fome of the crowded industrial centers, it is planned to abandon this work altogether in the spring, as, with good crops another season, the experts believe the government and the people will be able to get along without outside help. The necessity of, buying foreign exchange for foodstuffs, a situation that Poland faced from the beginning, has almost passed and agriculturists estimate that, with few exceptions, the country's own products will meet the requirements. This is expected to relievo the constant drain upon the gov
ernment treasury which bought flour 1
and other necessities from America ;tnd elsewhere and sold them at a loss to the people.

There are three interesting projects which patiently await congressional approval and funds. One of the?e provides for a department of education to replace th.e bureau of education. Another is, designed to brin; domestic science within the reach ot more women and girls, ' especially those who work during the day. The third bill does not reach so many people as the other two, but it would mean a good deal to the country. This is a measure to create a national university. A national university was planned by George Washington. Benjamin Franklin wanted it provided for in th-; constitution, but he and several others were overruled by statesmen who said that the university would be established anyway, and that there was no need to encumber the constitution. Washington is known to have willed $25 000 in stock to the government, as a fund to start this university. Tis sum would now amount to $4,000,000 st compound interest. It cannot, however, be located. A few years ago, treasury department officials investigated the bequest, hoping to find .out
;what became of the money. The only I conclusion that could be reached was
that the money was never turned over to the government, and that it lapsed back into the estate. Cost of the Project. This means that to establish a national university now there must be
an appripriation from congress
ablv amounting to several hundred
thousand dollars a year. Therefotc the national university project continues to hang fire. Washington's idea was that the university would serve an important ptir-
j pose in that it would cement the sec j tions of the country together. Stuu(ents would hear congerss debate.
They would meet the representatives from different states and grow to understand the viewpoints of the different parts of the country. The further advantage of a national institution of learning in Washington

Uiese practical bills too, arc finding it more and more difficult to get a hearing in congress. The domestic science bill made a strong appeal to women when it was discussed at committee hearings last winter. It provides an appropriation to be spent in the states to promote the study of home making. The profportion of women who cook, sew, and shop by instinct is said to be appalling. We go along following the old theory that mother learned to make good
bread and to distinguish cotton from wool by long practice, and therefore daughter can do no better than follow in her footsteps and learn by experience. This seems an old-fashioned idea, but it holds in innumerable families.
Teach Women to Work The congressman who introduced the domestic science bill, however, believes that girls and women, who are housekeepers or expect to be, can save money and health by learning facts of their business at school. Part of the appropriation is set aside to be used for women who work. That is, the classes established by the fund mutit be part time or night classes. This proviso was made in the hope that the classes would benefit girl who have never before had an opportunity of this
! sort opened to them.
Compared with the half million a year asked by the domestic science bill, and the half million to finance

It is, therefore, doubly handicapped. The appointment of a secretary of
education to be a. member of the President's cabinet is a part of the bill that has been featured. There are a number of other important provisions, however, in which various sums of money are set aside for educational advancement. Thus, $7,500,000 is provided for overcoming illiteracy, to be distributed to the states according to the percentage

large proportion of these is in circu-

loaned and many of them were read by several members of the family and a neighborhood or two before being returned. This has kept favorite books in constant use, and there are at least 50 worn out volumes which can hardly, and should never, be read again. There is need of fresh copies for these old ones and a demand for new books from all classes of patrons.
