The universities, however, are constantly making their requirements more drastic 'or, from another viewpoint, are taking greater precautions respecting the class of prospective students. These are some of the reflections of Dean Raymond A. Kent, head 'of Northwestern university College of Liberal Arts, in a signed article which he recently contributed to a symposium on educational problems be- ing printed weekly by a Chicago daily. "Another fact of significance," Dean Kent states, "is that the proportion of population enrolled in high schools today is at least three times as great as it was | in 1900. A recent press report states that the enrollment in Chicago high schools has increased seven times as fast 'as the city's population in the last few years. And still another fact is that the proportion of persons who enroll in high school and remain until they graduate, is increasing steadily. Tells Who May Enter "Who may enter college? A few years ago the answer to that question was easy. Anyone who proved his ability in the study of certain subjects was ac- cepted. These subjects at first were all specified. Later, only a part of them were absolutely required. The remain- der might be chosen among those ordi- narily pursued in a first class high school. The subjects which have remained long- est as subjects required for entrance are foreign languages and mathematics. "The facts in this situation have very recently been collected for high schools in 19 states in the Mississippi valley. Less than one of every four high school freshmen studies a foreign language, and less than one of every six sophomores. Only four out of every 100 juniors study it, and less than two of every 100 seniors. Mathematics is studied by slightly less than one of every four freshmen, and about one of every five sophomores. It is studied by about one of every 20 juniors, and by about one of every 200 seniors. . "In so far then, as foreign languages br _amathematics or both are required for what results? Ob- anucin of each subject is required. It is true also that the results are not quite what the above figures might lead us to suppose. : ' | LIGHTNING Arrestors must 'be installed on every radio aerial.

Those who are gradu- ated are only a fraction of the number | who entered four years ago,--roughly about one-third. A larger percentage of the graduates have studied foreign language and mathematics, than the above figures might, at first reading, lead us to suppose. For example the standard high school requires not less than three years of English for gradua- tion. Watch Scholastic Records "Nevertheless, the changes in modern high school courses of study have been so great, that a rigid application of ad- mission requirements of the old type, automatically excludes many high school graduates from entering." Regarding the selection of students Dean Kent declares that more attention is now being paid to a student's scholastic record through high school than form- erly. Harvard university, he pointed out, admits students from the highest seventh of their high school classes, with considerable less restrictions than are ap- plied to other candidates. Dartmouth treats high school graduates of the high- est quarter somewhat similarly. Many colleges will not admit persons from the lowest quarter or third, or if they admit them, do so only with' pronounced ad- ditional restrictions.

Grass and flower seed have been sown on the grounds and trees and shrubs set out. The Bahai temple is designed as a mecca for the millions of people throughout the world who are said to be adherents of the "universal religion" which stresses in its tenets the pro- mulgation of the doctrine of the brotherhood of man and common places of worship for peoples of all faiths. The movement is said to have 20,- 000,000 followers.
