STATE UNIVERSITY, HOW IT PROGRESSES Has Faults and Failures of De- mocracy, Brief Review ‘Washington, D. C., Aug. 10.—The state university has alike the faults and failings, the virtues and acoom- plishments, of democracy. It is neither in conflict for competition with the endowed college, though in many ways their work is identical. More and more, however, it is creating dis- tinct fields of endeavor and thus en- larging ta the many those opportuni- ties of higher education, which would otherwise be denied them. These are some of the conclusions reached in & report of the committee on statistics and standards of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. The report in outlining the history, purpase, and functions of such educational institutions pays a notable tribute to the accomplishment and the part played in our national life by the state university. Education—A Business Asset. “It matters not to the state univer- sity whether the boy and girl students hail from the town or country,” Archer Wall Douglas, of St. Louis, chairman of the committee points out in the report, “since it has but one central purpose regarding them, and that is to send forth, trained, intelli- gent citizens to serve the state whose servant it is. This it does without money and without price. It is al- ready an axiom that the existence of democracy depends upon the intelli- gence aof its citizens, but it is not so readily apparent to the belated per- ception of much of the business world that intelligence and education are the greatest of all commercial assets. For they carry with them initiative in action, energy and perception in the development of resources, the ways of free spending, the genius of invention and efficlency, and in truth all the es- sentials of advancement and progress. An education which means these things needs to go further than mere rudiments and must give opportunity to the many. So it is that in these es- sentials that the state university is the last word in democratic educa- tion.” - ‘What Four Universities’ Enrollment Shows. xStudents Enrolled 7322 7392 6765 6258 Total Work- ing Income $2,824,053.45 3,033,891.38 3,0983,254.54 2,202,860.38 Institution Illinois Minnesota ‘Wisconsin .

A, C. together. § Being a state institution, the univer- sity is always responsible to calls from the state for assistance of any nature. This, according to the National Cham- ber report, has been especially marked in Wisconsin where the trained mem- bers of the faculty of the State Uni- versity have greatly assisted in formu- lating much of that advanced legisla- tion affecting the relations of the state ta public utilities, and to business in general, for which Wisconsin is so well known. In many states, through the medium of university extension, there are special bureaus at each)university which co-operate in advisory capacity with the state municipalities in rela- tion to all the various problems of sanitation, social life, municipal con- struction woark, education and hygiene. Part Played by Co-education. “Because of its democratic nature, the state university is almost invari- ably and inevitably a co-educational school,” the report continues. “So, for many years it anticipated that awakened spirit in the modern world, and especially in our country, which recognizes woman’s proper place in the general scheme of things, which she has been so long denied by anti- quated and reactionary thought. It seeks to make woman independent in thought and action, so far as circum- stances and the limitations of sex per- mit, and thus to fit her as an efficient 2010 576,632.47 2,779,492.85 Regular, summer | for man, rather than that mythical, impossible creature, who was the glory of the sentimentality of the mid- Victorian period. The ‘co-ed,” as she {is generally known, has the opportuni- ty of a practical test of comradeship during her four years’ sojourn at col- lege, and the roll of marriage licenses in after years between classmates is the best answer to the specious state- ment that education gives womon a distaste for domestic life. woman’s Increasing participa- tion in economic and political life is clearly one of the marked features of | coming vears, it is evident that she is entitled to and must needs receive more serious preparation for her new part than the milk-and-water educa- tion, and the flurnmery of elegant ac- complishments, with which a past generation afflicted her. So, the state university imposes upon her the same requirements, and offers her the same opportunities as the male undergrad- uate. The proportion of female to male students grows slowly year by year, and is notably larger in the far West than elsewhere.” Achievements in Agriculture, In a nation where agriculture is the most fundamental and most important of all industries and the primal source of national welfare, it was natural and inevitable, according to the report, that the state university should be- come the teacher of that great pur- suit. Among the most noted and gen- erally beneficial results of those teach- ings of the agricultural colleges is the spread of dairying as an integral part and fitting companion and comraded line?

Babcock, of In 1890 Professor the University of onsin, invenied the “Babcock test” by which the farmer or dairy- man, in a simple and accurate man- ner can determine the amount of butter fat in the milk of each cow of his herd and thus determine definitely its richness and its commercial value. Prior to this inventiun, the value of milk was based on quantity rather than quality and thus temptation to dishonesty, in the shape of watering the milk, made co-operative cream- eries impracticable. The’ immediate effect of this inven- tion was to stimulate the breeding of productive herds, to promote factory efficiency, and to raise dairying to the plane of a scientific pursuit, worthy of the participation of intelligent trained men. To effect upon the economic life of the state of Wisconsin, -the report says, is equally marked. The produc- tion of cheese there grew from eighty million pounds in 1899 to two hundred forty-four million pounds in 1916 while the total value of dairy prod- ucts is approximately $110,000,000. It is said, Wisconsin manufactures about one-half of all the cheese made in the United States. ‘Where State Universities Lead. Testing seed as a general practice is a comparaticely recent thing, ac- cording to the committee report, and even now far from being universal. Yet the Iowa state agricultural col- lege, by its teaching in this regard, has added about $2,000,000 annually to the incomes of the farmers of that state in the matter of corn production alone. The ogricultural college of the University of Illinois is conducting a state-wide soil survey. One of the most definite additions by the agri- cultural college to the wealth of the country is found in the almost com- plete suppression of hog cholera by campaigns of sanitation and by the use of hoz-cholera serum as a pre- ventive measure. There is maintained at the Univer- sity of Missouri in Columbia an ex- periment farm and also similar ones in different parts of the state. Carry- ing the university to those people who cannot come to the university is the alm and purpose of cxtension work. This pl is well illustrated by the state gricultural college of Kansas, in its desire to take education to the hiomes of the citizens Making ‘e on Farm Worth Living. “The great clty has ever been the problem of every civilization from Babylone, Nineveh and Rome to our own times. The cry of ‘back to the land’ is mostly theoretically sentimen- tality, because It is entirely imprac- ticable.” the natlonal chamber report concludes. The real answer to the portentious menace of the great con- gested center is to make life on the farm attractive and worth while, for the problem is even more eocial than economic, In Kansas, as elesewhere, all the forces and resources of the college of letters and sclence and of agriculture are invoked in the aid of the farmer.” | SLACKERS ABUSING EXENPTION CANS. Stricter Ruling May Be Made to Secure Draft Army Washington, Aug. 10.—Plain warn- Ing was issued by the War Depart- ment to every local draft board last night that unless stern measures of | repression were adopted to weed out all unfounded claims for exemption based on dependency, the government would be forced to issue a new and more uncompromising regulation on the subject. The warning was conveyed in a tel- egram which Brig. Gen. Crowder, the provost marshal, issued to the gov- ernor of each state. General Crow- der points out that the selective serv- ice law does not provide for the exemption of persons from military service just because they are married or have dependents. It only author- ized the president, in his discretion to exclude from the draft, those with a status based on dependency which renders their exclusion advisable. But the president is to be the final arbiter of this matter, and if the local boards do not adopt a most uncom- Promising attitude toward those who make claims for discharge on the ground of dependency, the federal officials, who have ordered all such | cases automatically appealed, will take the necessary measures to en- able the government to raise its na- tional army in accordance with the spirit and letter of the law. General Crowder's telegram to governors follows: Washington, Aug. 9, Governors of all States: Section 2 of the selective draft law exempts no person from mil- itary service on the ground of dependency. 1t only authorizes the president to exclude or dis- charge from draft “those in status with respect to persons de- pendent upon them for support which renders their exclusion or discharge advisable.” The controling necessity is to ralse an army. It is advisable to disturb dependents just as little ag the necessity of ralsing an army will permit. To this end Section 18 of the regulations was complled carefully and after the most earnest consideration. If experlence s to prove that the generous conditions prescribed by Section 18, or any abuse of them, will interfere with the raising of any army, then it is no longer ad- vieable to discharge so wide a class, and the conditions stated therein will have to be restricted the 1917, { compromising action of i stored my health after everything else until an advisable rule is reached. Nothing has happened to change the belief that the per- sons enumerated in Section 18 could be discharged without in- terfering with the raising of an army, but there are indications that abuses of Section 18 may render its continuance no longer advisable. Reports are to the effect that, in some districts. as high as 80 per ceat. of persons called before local boards are filing claims of discharge on the ground of dependent relatives. Such a percentage of claims, when viewed in connection with all available stat- istics, indicates beyond question that advantage is being taken of the pro- visions of the law and regulations which were intended to reduce ‘o a minimum the misery at homs nor- mally attendant upon war. There is a moral certainty, in the extravagance of this percentage that hundreds of unfounded claims are in- cluded in those totals. This state of affairs greatly in- creases the burden of local boards, for if so high a percentage of reg- istrants claim exemption only the un- local boards FOUR WOMEN TESTIFY Positive Proof that Lydia E.
