CLAIMS SCHOLARSHIP LEAD Plan of Johns Hopkins to Restrict Enrollment Points Interest to Local Requirements. American University officials have noticed with much interest the plans of Johns Hopkins University to estab- lish the W. H. Page International Re- lations School and to restrict enroll- ment in the university to students who have attained at least the junior year in college. These policies of Johns Hopkins are closely in line with the policy already in effect at American University, where a new school of the political sclences was established last Fall. to be conducted along much the same lines as the Page school, and where enroilment has to date been restricted not merely to those who have attainad the junior year, but to college graduates, except in special ses where students are nof candidates for degrees. Tt is believed that American Uni- versity is the only institution in the country doing exclusively graduate work, though next Fall an under- graduate college will be established as an integral part of the university. Johns Hopkins has not yet taken de- cisive action as to restricting en- rollment, but it is probable that the program will go through according to the plans, since the university's facilities a probably overcrowded. American Univereity has received a hequest of $5,000 from the estate of Summerfield Baldwin of Baltimore, a former trustee of the university. The money will probably be applied to the present development at the grounds west of Wisconsin avenue.

Reorganization of the educational guidance program at the Hine Junior High School was announced last week by Harold E..Warner, principal. Un- der the new plan pupils of the 7-B and eighth-grade classes elect a voca- tion every six -weeks. -The change, it is believed, will give members of the faculty an opportunity to spe- cialize in information concerning one particular vocation and at the same time give pupils an opportunity to become acquainted with nine different fields of employment. The course for A pupils is the study of the bfog- raphies of succegsful men, while the ninth-year pupils will learn of the high school and college courses of study. Another innovation this seme: the institution of restoratory courses. The restoratory courses will lessen | the number of retentions, since they give the pupil an opportunity to make failures without er i up repeating the whole semester’s work. Selection of the cast for “The Piper,” the Spring play, which will be given April 25, has been made, and Miss Palmer and Miss Thonnsen are busy with plans for its success.

Scott, member of the class of 1901, has announced that arrangements have been madé for not less than 500 plates and that the Collegiate Trou- badours, a student orchestra, has of- fered to donate their service: The alumni-senior charter day dinner is an innovation which was started last vear.
