PA a By Charles Sughroe Is the Least Known Bit of British America. Washington.—A hurricane in British Honduras swept into the front pages of the country the name of Belize, capital of this little-known bit of Brit- ish America. “Belize, the city, with a population of only 13,000 people, would be = small town elsewhere, but it is the metropolis of England's section of the dense tropical jungles in the south- east sector of the Yucatan penin- {sula,” says a bulletin from the Na- itlonal Geographic society, | “Although Belize is unmistakably {British in appearance, the houses of {two and three stories that line the malin residential streets being of ac cepted British architecture, many of {the British leaders of the colony com- iplain that It is becoming ‘American- ized.’ Newspapers and magazines from the United States far outnumber those from England, while the official money unit of British Honduras is the American gold dollar, “The British flavor of the country is as much diluted by tropical influ- ences, however, as by American.

A magazine of standing published recently an article from a father of three children, all of whom are in college, in which a strong protest Is made against the increasing cost of education, The writer claimed that what was true of his chil- dren could be said of the average i young person go- ing to college In the representative institutions of the country. Briefly, he complained that to send his three children to the institutions which they were attending was cost- Ing him, conservatively speaking, $4500 a year; and this amount Is exclusive of vacations and a number of additional expenses. I am quite sure that the average cost of an education in the representa- tive colleges of the country is far less than this man alleges, and should be. Evans has just finished his junior year in the college with which I am associated. He graduated four years ago from a small high school In =a country town. He is the oldest of three children, his father having a clerical position which does not pay him as much a year as the complain- ing father mentioned above spent an- nually on each of his children. Evans was out of high school a year working and saving his money before trying to enter college. He got a job nt college, which enabled him to earn hig board; and during his short vaca- tions at Christmas and Easter he earned enough to pay his fees. He has held a gogd position each sume mer; he has been economical: he has found a position in college for the last —— Ld \d You can't listen when another man refutes your argu ment because “you have heard all that that may be true. too, ¥ It will be in his family oll station and a home these business places that will be empl Mr, and Mrs the yy eid Winters plan to make the place busiest spot in this wheat-growing county.
