Reasonable | ussurances are glven that this condi- | tion in two latier departments as | well at the university hospital wlil be soc remedied. While complete registration figures At the medical and dental schools are u ilable at this time, these two de- partments formally opened last Fri- dey with considerable oyer 100 fresh- nén each.

Additioni] equipment has been ypurchased for the medical and dental departments, but the problem created by the congestion in classrooms has not vet been met. In keeping with the general policy of the university, | the standards of the schools have been raised to a high degree. Start- ng with next year's class, only those students will be accepted at the dental school who have credit for one year of college work. The pre- dental class inaugurated at the Hill- »p this year will provide the dental ool with the greater part of its enrollment next year.

The total enrollment at the law school is expected to equal 1,100, two years of college work now being required for admission. Like other departments of the university, it has its own housing problem, but this is being met fairly fatisfactorily since the Inauguration of the morning classes. Registrations at the college totaled 675, the largest in the history of the Hilltop, and the for- eign service school this year is ex- pected to draw a student body in ex- cess of 500. Heads Sophomore Committee. At a special meeting of the sopho- more class at the Hilltop last week tay Benzing of New York was chosen as chairman of the sophomore vigi- lance committee to succeed Herman Petzgold of Michigdn, who did not re- turn to school this year. According to the Hoya, the election of Mr. Benzing rhould have a great effect on the con- duct of the freshmen who come under the restraining influence of the vigl- lance committee. Freshmen who dis- regard the rules laid down for their conduct were warned of severe pun- ishment. The other members of the vigilance committee are Douglas William O'Neill, John Halla- . James Cummiskey, Willlam Lax James Duffy and James Gleason. The officlals of the Foreign Serv- ice School were notified last week that one of last year's graduates, Warren TUlrich, has been appointed as as- sistant United States trade commlis- sioner in Mexico City. Another For- | Comar. The two investigations concerning the air services of the Army and Navy began last week. While the President's board was examining witnesses here at the Cap- itol Bullding whose testimony will go into the making of a report on the condition of the air defenses of this country, a naval board of inquiry into the Shenandoah disaster got under way at Lakehurst, N. J. The President’s board heard officers of the War Department and General Staff and Maj. Gen. Patrick, chief of the Army Alr Service. testify for and against a separate alr service. The testimony against it came from Act- ing Secretary of War Dwight W. Davis and offic of the General Staff. Gen. Patrick testitied in favor of a separate Alr Service. Secretary of the Wilbur and high officers on the s general board, testified solidly against a separate Alr Service, as did Rear Admiral Moffett, chief of the Bureau of Aeronautics. Postmas ter General New told the board of the progress of aviation in c ing the mails, while Secretary Hoover came out in favor of governmental aid in establishing the airplane as an in- strument of commerce in this country. At Lakehurst, the board of inquiry heard technical points concerning the Shenandoah disaster discussed and Capt. Steele, the commandant of the Lakehurst station, declared that Lansdowne of the Shenan- doah had asked the Navy Department to postpone the Shenandoah's flight, but the Navy had refused. Tomorrow will begin a week of tes. timony before the President’s board which is to be featured by the ap. pearance of Col. William Mitchell, who stirred up all the row over air- craft. He came from Texas, where he was relieved last week from active duty, to permit his appearance and testimony here. Italy plans to prevent Giuseppe Srebrnic, a Communist in the Italian Chamber of Deputies, from coming to the United States as a delegate to the Interparliamentary Union. If this is true she will take the burden of de- nying him entrance to this country from the shoulders of the United States Government, which last week declared that Saklatvala, British Com- munist, could not enter. Saklatvala's exclusion from the In- terparliamentary Union, of which he is a member, will be brought efficially before the union when it meets here by Rennie Smith, a member of the British Parliament and a delegate to the union, according to the New Leader, a Soclalist organ published in New York. The paper says e Smith will this action. protest count _Delegates to the League of Na- tions, whose council has been meeting in Geneva, have reached agreement conference under the auspices of the league, but the auestion of whether the United States will participate re- mains unanswered. President Cool- idge was represented last week as leaving the whole question of Amer- ican participation up to Congress. He wants to do nothing which could be interpreted as opposing or discourag- ing the league, but at the same time is unwilling to take any step which might not meet the approval of Con- gress. The league is expeoted to in- vite the United States to send experts to Geneva to work on plans for the conference. Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the board of the United States Steel Cor- poration and a man who Is Inter- viewed in the newspapers as much as, it not more than, any other citizen of the United States, believes that silence is the golden rule for suc- cess in business, according to an ad- elgn Service School graduate, who has been in charge of the Lima, Peru, office of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, has just return- ed to Washington to take up special work In the bureau. Represented at National Meet. As the first Catholle institution of hgher education founded in the United States, Georgetown University will be represented at the exerc be held at Aurlesville, N where Catholics from all country are assembling to honor the civi d scientific achievements of the early Jesuit missionary martyrs. The Georgetown delegation, selected by President Charles W. Lyons, 8. 2s the personal representatives of the university, left Washington yesterday afternoon.” The delegation comprised two members of the faculty, Rev. Francls X. Dglaney, S. J., -asurer of the university, and Rev. Jose C. Glose, S. J., student counselor. In addition there were five students se- Jected on account of their leadership at the colleze. These were Nelson J. Martin of Buffalo, N. Y., president of the Sod "Neill of Montclair, ident of the senior class; .

Sticking to one line of endeavor, hon- esty, punctuality, mental, moral and physical health, observance of the law and making friends are other require- ments laid down by Mr. Gary. Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, presi- dent of Columbla University, will not debate the question of prohibition with Representative Willlam D. Up- shaw of Georgia, as the latter chal- lenged him to do, because, he says, his correspondence with people in all parts of the country has made him belfeve that if prohibition were put to a referendum vote it would lose 5 to 3. At the sume time, Senator ‘Walsh of Montana, returning from a trip to Europe, said that while there was & lot of ballyhooing in New York about prohibition, not a wet whisper is heard in the halls of Congress. The State Department does not look with favor upon the actions of Amer- icans who are fighting with the French army, though not under the French command, in its campalgn against the Riffs. The Government last week ordered the American consul general in the territory where the American aviators are operating to notify them that they were acting in violation of sections of the Revised Statutes of the United States. No word has yet been received of how the American aviators will look upon this warning by their Government. The Rifian leader, meanwhile, is re- ported to have offered a reward.of $5,000 for the body of every American aviator brought to him, dead or alive. The Lexington, third aircraft car- j rier of the Navy, and a sister ship of the Saratoga, will be christened at the Fore River shipyards, Quincy, Mass., the latter part of this week. When completed, she will be 888 feet | long, capable of a speed of 33 knots | and will carry 72 planes. Completion and the Lexington wliil give the Navy two airplane car- riers beyvond comparison with any other power. ! Economics. Headed by the French minister of finance, Joseph Caillaux, a distin- guished mission of French experts came to Washington last week and immediately went to work with the American Debt Funding Commission on the troublesome problem of reach- ing an agreement by which France will repay to this country her $4,000,- 000,000 war debt. Meeting the American commission Thursday, the day following their ar- rival here, the French mission out- lined a proposal which took into count her ability to pay, and which the American commission on the day following promptly declined to con- ider. The French proposal was not regarded “‘officially” as such, however, and was interpreted as being only the beginning of an exchange of ideas which must precede the submission by France of a concrete proposition. Further meetings of the debt commis- sions will be held this week. While the attitude of all concerned is con- sidered hopeful, observers agree that the two commissions are faced with an_extremely delicate and difficult task. ‘The coal strike continues, with sign of a let-up from either side. Meanwhile the Geological BSurvey estimates that anthracite production for the week ending September 12 ap- proximated not more than 5,000 tons of coal, which is interpreted as mean- ing complete cessation in the hard- coal mines of Pennsylvania. No coal famine has been felt, yet, because of the large stocks in hand when the strike started. Many believe there on the plan to hold a disarmament | | stabbed himself in the heart. THE Summary of Important National, Foreign and Local Affairs Specially Arranged for the Convenience of Students. of the Government before a serious shortage. ‘Washington’s population will reach 500,000 by October 1, according to cal- culations by the Bureau of the Cen- sus, made on the basis of past growth of the city. The League of Nations assembly last week adopted with enthusiasm & resolution proposing a world-wide economic conference to be held un- der the auspices of the league. The resolution was sponsored by L. Lou- cheur, former French minister of finance, who declared that the task of holding the conference would be difficult and could not be accomplished without the aid of the labor organi- zaztions. He asked the aid of all na- tions to seek a solution which might not be found for several years. The time is coming when Americans will grow their own fuel and American cities will be heated by electricity, ac- cording to Henry Ford, who was inte: viewed last week by the ristian Science Monitor. The fuel of the fu- ture will come from vegetable alco- hol, which, to quote Mr. Ford, “is go- ing to come from fruit like that su- mach out by the roadside or from ap- ples, weeds, sawdust— #lmost any- thing. There is enough alow N in one vear's yleld of an acre of petatoes to drive machinery necessary to culti- vate the field for 100 years. Educational. Last Monday found more than 61,000 children returning to school in the District, with facilities for han- dling them no better than last year. The enrollment figures shatter all previous records, the increase in pu- pils more than making up for the increased buildings completed since last Spring. Schools are under con- struction, however, and at the end of the five vears outlined by Congress as a period in which the National Capi- tal is to catch up on its school build- ing program, conditions are expected to be materially improved. One school in the United States is opening this Fall which covers the requirements of the most ardent ad vocate of “100 per cent Americanism. It is the Haskell Institute of Law- rence, Kans., largest of the Govern- ment’s Indlan schools, and whose 1,040 Indian boys and girls come from 80 tribes. z Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superintend- ent of the Washington public schools, was one of a group of educators who met in New York last week to under- take a revision of the present curri- culum for boys and girls in American public school The group constitutes the commission on curriculum of the department of superintendence of the Nutional Education Assoclation. Re- vision of the curriculum will include taking what is best from the present system and adopting new ideas which will be combined in an entirely new course of study. One of the first exchanges of pro- fessorships between Mexico and the United States on record was reported last week from Columbia, Mo., where the School of Journalism of the Uni- versity of Missourl has arranged an exchange with the National Unl- versity of Mexico. Science. Returning from several months spent in Europe examining the fossil remains of Neanderthal men, Dr. A. E. Jenks, head of the department of anthropology at the University of Minnesota, belleves that “within a few years we will be able to tell ac- curately the complete history of pre- historic man.” With facts, instead of guesses to wonk on, Dr. Jenks be- lieves that without doubt we can “‘con- trol the future trend of culture.” Radfum, which is now priced in France at 1,000,000 francs a gram, may come down a bit because of the discovery of radium-bearing deposits in the Congo, from which experts hope it will be able to produce the precious’ metal in quantities making it available for hospital service. A four-and-a-half-year-old boy, run- ning up the steps with a pair of sharp scissors in his hand, fell and He was rushed to Children’s Hospital here and there a doctor lifted out the heart, sewed up the cut, and replaced the organ. The boy, in all probabilit; will recover. Reorganization of the Government departments, discussed by every President from Roosevelt to Coolidge, but making little progress beyond the stage of discussion, occupied the limelight last week when Senator Edge of New Jersey, a caller at the White House, told the President of a plan he has to propose a resolu- tion, when Congress convenes, giving the President authority to take such steps as he deems necessary to bring about & proper reorganization of the Government without having to await congressional sanction. Congress has | showed no inclination to approve the Smoot-Brown plan and chances for favorable action on it this session are considered slim. Charles MacVeagh, New York law- yer, has been appointed by President Coolldge as Ambassador to Japan. He {s a partner In the law firm of John W. Davis, Democratic candi- date for President in the last cam- paign. Politics. Mayor Hylan of New York City, Jjust defeated in the primaries in his campaign for re-election, was quoted in New York last week to the effect that he would “take under serious consideration” an appeal that he run again on an “independent” ticket. Mayor Hylan's campaign cost $8,- 268, of which a large part was con- publisher. Robert M. La Follette, jr., son of the late Senator, will stage his final fight for the Senate Tuesday, when & special election will be held in Wis- consin. His opponents consist of a regular Republican, a Soclalist, a Democratic-Independent and a So- clalist-Laborite. He is expected to win easily and will be the youngest man in the Senate. He Is 31. Religion. | A speciul commission appointed by |the last General Assembly of the | Presbyterian Church of the United States to study the spiritual condi- tion of the church and the causes making for unrest met in Atlantic City last week. Its work will be to draw up a report “fo the end that the purity, peace, unity and progress of the church may be assured.” i de e, FREE STATE TO SPEND MILLIONS FOR ROADS Correspondence of the Associated Press.

Sessions of the school of business administration and government will begin tomorrow. Because of the large increase in the number of classes in the school of business administration and government, it has been found necessary to secure available rooms for classes in other buildings near the university. The law school will open Thursday. Practically all of the classes will be held after 6:30 o'clock in the evening. Natfonal University 1is offering again this yeur a standard three years’ law course.

FIRST TERM BEGUN BY ARTS COLLEGE New Department of American University Has Varied Courses for Students. The new College of Liberal Arts of American University opened its first season Wednesday, and courses are now being conducted on a full sched- ule. Tuesday was devoted to regis- tration, and classes began the follow- ing day. A freshman class larger than had been expected was enrolled, and the initial outlook for the new institution is_most favorable. The graduate departments of the university will begin work this week. Registration will be arranged Tues- day at the downtown center of the university, 1901-1907 F street, and classes will begin Thursday. A num- ber of new courses are offered this year:in the School of the Political 8ci- ences, which comprises work in diplo- macy, economics, government, foreign trade and jurisprudence.

C, SEPTEMBER 27, 1925—PART L George Washington Draws Many From High Schools of District ‘While ®**Washington high school students are being graduated year after year, there appears to be an un- founded opinion that a majority of them go out of town to college. In the first few days of activity at George Washington University last week an analysis of the freshman class at the local institution showed that more than one-fifth came from ‘Washington high schools. ‘With somewhat more ‘than 1,000 students entering the institution, 201 came from the local high schools. These figures tend to show that mnot all of the Washington boys and girls rush elsswhere to college and that the city amply provides for their higher education. By the end of the week it is ex- pected that the freshman class in arts and sciences, not including the law and medical schools, will be more than 1,200. This number s expected to contain some 225 and more Wash- Ington boys and girls, a most gener- ous proportion of those graduated from local schools last June. Near 5,000 Mark. The registration figures approach- ing the 5,000 mark argue for a total enroliment of more than 6,000 before the end of the year. It is not unlike- ly that the professional schools will approximate capacity, although the medical school 18 limiting its entering class to 85, more than 200 qualified students being turned away. The university swung easily and smoothly into the first few days of the new year with most gratifying re- sults. The inauguration of a new system of registration proved accept- able in all quarters.
