HIGHER SCHOOLS CONFUSE PURPOSES Frequent Changes Made That Stu- dents Work Without Alm Chicago, Jan, #~Confusion in the purpose of a college education in the higher Institutions of learning, a cons dition to whieh the elective system has eontributed as well as the general influence of science, was indicated in an address here today by Dr, Robert 1. Kelly of New York, executive sec- retary, before the annval meeting of the Counell of Church Foards of Education, Charges Made “The charge frequently is - made that students In libgral arts colleg the core of American higher educa- tion—work without alm or program," rald Dr, Kelly, “In the judgment of there crities absolute confusion exists in these strongholds as to the purs pose of a college education, The multiplication of plans for unifying coliege courses such as the required course in Contemporary Civilization for froshmen at Columbia university, the requirement of an examination in the bible and Shakespeare at Harvard, and others, Indicates a tacit confes- slon of the truthfulness of the criti- cism and an effort to correct the abuse, Efforts to U “Nearly all of these pf#hs for unify- ing the eurricnlum are examples of effort to unify the materials of the curriculum, In the light of the vast amount of curriculum material avail- able today it Is manifest that there can be no unity on the basis of curri- culum material. “The liberal arts cobllege with re- liglous traditions has an opportunity to offer a plan for unifying the col- lege curriculum on the basls of re- ligion. Hhe main business of the coi- lege course is to give the student a philosophy of life and the American college with religious traditions faces a unique opportunity at this moment."” Junior Midyear Class Will Hold Prom Jan. 19 The junior mid-year class will hold its first annual junior prom on Fri- day, January 19. It will be an in- formal affair, The Trinity Baccha- nallan orchestra will furnish musie for dancing which will be from 8 until 11 o'clock.

The Debating teams met this aft- ernoon at the close of school to elect captains. Howard Belser, who starred with the logal second team against thig second team of -South -Manchester, was. promoted to the first squad be- cause of his good work. He former- ly played with several of the boys' club teams. JA USE MORE GAS Cook Stoves and Heaters Replace Charcoal Burners, Tokio, Jan. 9.—Japanese are be- coming greater users of gas and gas cook stoves and heaters gradually are replacing charcoal fires and braziers. The gas companies have thus far been unable to cope with the demand. The amount of gas distributed by the "Tokio gas company increased from a billion and a half cubic feet in 1912 to nearly three billion cubic feet this rear, despite the fact that the com- ay has declined to install additional meters since 1914 owing to the city having refused its request to increase prices when the cost of coal went up. However, the company {8 now erect- ing a new plant and at the end of this year, local gas consumers will have available a daily supply of four million cublc feet, according to of- ficlals of the company.

The World Almanac is presented to the Amernican public for the thirty- eighth year of its publication im- proved in form, handier to consult, easier to read, better printed and on better paper. Readers who in constantly increas- ing Humbers have testified to its value as a book of dally and constant ref- erence will find the table of statistics revised up to the latest possible date by heads of departments in the Na- tional Government, in the states, in the cities (and particularly in New York city), and by men of authority in banking, trade and industry, and in soclal, educational and religious activities throughout the country. New statistical tables present the latest census figures regarding popu- lation, vital statistics and industries, which are supplemented by those of the Departments of Agriculture, Com- merce, Labor and the Interior, all setting forth in clear form the ma- terial growth of the Republic. In addition, The World Almanac presents this year descriptions of the several states of the Union and its dependencies, and descriptions of all the foreign countries with their cal- onies and dependencies carefully pre- pared in most condensed form from the best available authorities here and abroad. Much of this material has been furnished or revised by the embassies, legations and consulates of the countries concerned and by The World Almanac's correspondents abroad. The record of the year 1922 is giv- en with greater fulness than hereto- fore. The reader will find the care- fully compiled chronology or diary of the year, the death roll, the benefac- tlons, the record of scientific progress, the tariff law and other new and im- portant laws, the full election returns, and the complete sporting events and records to which he is accustomed, He will also find new features in au- thoritative reviews of the financial world and bond market, with the range of prices for stocks on the Ex- change up to December 1, 1922; also special reviews of labor and strikes, American relief work in Europe, the great progress made in aviation, the creation of the Irish Kree State, the rise of the Fascisti; the platform of the British labor party, and in an- other fleld, reviews of the year in the book world, art, music and the drama, and In wireless telegraphy and telephony.

UNDERGROUND COAL STORAGE SUGGESTED Director of Mine Bureau Offers Interesting Suggestion Washington, Jan. 9.—Underground storage of coal at the mines is sug- gested by H. Koster Bain, director of the United States bureau of mines, as a practical step toward the ac cumulation of reserves of fuel neces- sary to stabilize industry and to pro- tect the domestic consumer in periods ot acute shortage. The seasonal demand for coal can to some extent be met by storage, Di- rector Bain sald in a report to the United States Coal commission, but this must be dohe by the consumer or by some distribution agency operat- ing between him and the mine. At the mines the best place to store coal is in the ground, as with unimportant exceptions it is not feasible to pro- vide more than a limited amount of storage above ground. Anthracite companies established near points of consumption a system of great storage piles which were yaluable balance wheels to the trade | and have facilitated steadiness of op- eration which distinguishes anthra- cite from bituminous mining, Dr. Bain said. Large scale storagé of bitumi- nous coal has heen less practicable because the uncertainty of future price has deterred companies and in- dividuals from making the necessary investments. However, in certain periods as much as 60,000,000 tons of this coal have actually gone into storage, showing the feasibility of storing soft coal. With proper selection of the coal and due attention to modest require- ments as to methods, it is entirely practicable to store large quantities of most coal at moderate cost, he continued., The risk is in the uncer- tainties of future price, as the mine U. S. Destroyer Prompt work by the U. S. destroyer Bainbridge saved all but | 20 of the crew of doctors, nurses and troops on the ill - fated French hospital ship Vihn-Long which caught fire in the Sea of | Mamora. Above is shown the Bainbridge loaded with rescaed| alongside the burning Vihn-Long. hospital ship In George Ade's Story and rallway equipment of the coun- Ilry is extensive enough to allow the industry, except under unusual con- ditions, to obtain adequate supplies direct from the mines, Coal short- age and car shortage is a local mat- ter in normal years. The nation has put men and money into coal mining and the rallways to meet peak loads rather than provide a less amount of capital for coal storage and so insure | steady and economical operation. The possibllity of devising a “use” classification that will permit wider pooling of coal is also suggested by the director. Such pooling would re- ‘lle\'e the pressure on docks, terminals and raliway equipment, he declared. NOT BIG EATERS English Lords Gencrally Eat Cheap Meals—Apple Tart With Cream is Favorite Dish. London, Jan., 9.—Luncheons and dinners at the house of lords are sur- prisingly frugal. The setting where the legislative nobility of England congregate and the ceremony attend- ing so many of their functions stimu- late the imagination of visitors, who expect to find the members of the house of lords lunching lavishly at midday and sitting down to claborate |and formal dinners at night. | On the contrary. The Lord Chancel- lor recently gave a political dinner, a cheap affair, for when the total of ’ the check was divided by the num- ber of guests, it worked out at the rate of six shillings each. Bolled beef, cold ham, apple tart and grilled chops are most frequent- ly the orders given from the peers dining room to the kitchen. An or- der often sent down the lift calls for a “Lord Finlay with cream' denoting that the diner would like a portion of apple tart, a favorite dish with Lord Finlay. Many other Peers have their spe likes. lLord Haldane, for instance, takes little but soda water; lord Onslow, cake, bread and butter for tea, at one shilling a time, while Lord Buckmaster always has an or- der in hand for a Sultana roll, NEASCIUERESS 4 Saves Hundreds Below is shown the flaming | ]\ I Extraordinary Special Offerings — For Wednesday Only — HUNDREDS OF OTHER ITEMS AT REAL CLEARANCE PRICES KLEINERYS STOCKINETTE PADS Guaranteed Water- proof.
