HIGH AND LOW COST OF EDUCATION According to reports made by the 261 Yale seniors who are now preparing for graduation, their education, covering the period of the last four years, cost them a total of $1,079,111. That is, their entire expenses during that period reached that amount. Much of the cost of the actual education they received was met by the endowments of the New Haven institution, through gifts of its loyal alumni. A great part of the amount spent during the four years by the Yale seniors must have been for their maintenance and amusements. High liv ing expenses are included in the total, too, with the "high" modifying either word, "living" or "ex penses." The financial waste that goes with the higher education of high livers is shown by a comparison of the figures which represent the expenses of the most extravagant Yale senior and those of the most frugal. The largest amount spent in a single year by a student was $4,500, and the smallest S2OO. It is evident that the young spendthrift paid out much more for luxuries than the economist expended fur actual necessities. What the former spent in one year would have supported the latter, at his pres ent rate, for twenty-two years and six months. In fact, what it cost the former for a quarter of a bachelor's degree might enable the latter to study until he obtained practically a" the academic de grees available. The Yale senior who is graduated after an aver age expenditure of $4,000 a year, or a total extrava gance of $16,000 during his course, will have a hard time proving to the world that he received full value for cash paid. It is doubtful whether a col lege diploma is in every given instance worth quite $16,000. Henry David Thoreau, who was gradu ated at Harvard at a time when five dollars was charged for a diploma, refused to pay it since he considered five dollars an exorbitant price for a thing so useless to him. The college graduate, at all events, who expends SBOO during his four-year course may have just as good an education as the one who squanders $16,000. The former is indeed very likely to get a much better education, since he would be able during his course to devote time to the pursuing of his studies which the latter would have to give tT) the spending of his excessive allowances. PRODUCING HISTORIC ATMOSPHERE Down at the University of Pennsylvania it has been found recently that despite all the modern improvements, in fact because of them, there is something lacking,—an atmosphere of historic associations. The university has been at its present location little more than forty years, hence 'its buildings are comparatively new and the campus is not adorned with the relics of former days that ought to be there to furnish inspiration to the students. The plan has been suggested of transferring to the campus from other parts of Philadelphia sev eral of the old college buildings together with the home of Benjamin Franklin, who had a hand in the founding the university and various other insti tutions which are proud to use his name. The idea is not a bad one. If the university has no ancient buildings on the campus with which to make a venerable appearance, it should get some, for it is justly entitled to them. Not many will be necessary. Several gray hairs in a woman's erown • ' HARHIBBURG STAR-INDEPENDENT, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 20, 1915. ing glory are sufficient to indicate advancing age. Historic associations are splendid things for in stitutions of higher learning. The institution in this state which, perhaps, is best supplied with such associations is Pennsylvania College at Get tysburg, whose campus was occupied by Confed erate troops during the great Civil War battle, and whose principal dormitory building, which accom modates a big part of the student body and will continue to do so for many years, was used as a hospital for large numbers of wounded soldiers. However, buildings from the days of the Civil War are of course not very ancient, and even struc tures which have survived since the time of Frank lin are comparatively modern. In this country we cannot have structural relics of our own antiquity, for that is the antiquity of Europe. If we want to see really ancient ruins we must go over there. THE CASE OF THE HINOJOSA TWINS If the operation about to be performed on the Hinojosa twins, born two and a half years ago in Havana, Cuba, is successful, the ifttle girls will be able for the first time in their identical lives to move about each independent of the other. Joined together in much the same way as "those extraordinary" Siamese twins, the little girls, Guadalupe and Josephine, likewise extraordinary, have during these two and a half years been liter ally inseparable. No sisters ever were more closely attached to each other. Rarely is it that two per sons, no matter how devoted they are, one to the other, are constantly side by side, but the little Spanish twins are two such persons, at least until surgery severs them. There might be some advantages in the joint existence of connected twins, if the minds of the inseparable ones were united as well as their bodips, —if their inclinations were all the same, their tastes alike and their talents identical. They could, en gaging in chosen pursuits unanimously agreed upon by them, accomplish perhaps more than could two separate individuals, if they acted in perfect har mony at all times. Minds are not the same, however, either in ordi nary twins or in connected twins, any more than they are in other individuals. The Hinojosa chil dren are said to be occasionally very loving and sisterly, but to have their quarrels, too, at times. W hen the disagreements come the twins cannot say naughty things to each other and then run away. They must stay close together and make amicable arrangements before either of them can go anywhere or do anything with the necessary permission and companionship of the other. The accounts of the peculiar attachment between the Spanish twins may excite the curiosity of a large part of the general public to see the little girls, appealing to the same part of human nature that responds to the attractions of the ten-cent museums of freaks. It is surely a source of satis faction to know that the parents of Guadalupe and Josephine, instead of arranging to put the little girls on exhibition, are planning to have them sep arated and converted into normal human beings. Even the mercury is high. It requires a libel suit to get Teddy on the first page tiow. And to think that Eastern Pennsylvania swept by a blizzard go recently as seventeen days ago! Neither Root nor Borah seems very eager to cast' his hat in the ring against President Wilson in 1916. But there is the Colonel! It is reported that President Wilson will not be opposed in the next national convention of his party.

[Tongue-End Topics | Thinks Censorship Too Rigid The press censorship in both France and England is still far too rigorous for the good of the countries' cause, in the opinion of M. Henry Franklin-Bouillon, chairman of the Committee of Foreign Affairs of the French Chamber of Dep uties, who has been in London for a series of war conferences with Lord (Kitchener, Chancellor Llovd-George, Sir Edward Grey and other statesmen. ''Part of the work of the committee which sent mo on my present mission," he said, "is to urge that not only in our own countries but in neutral coun tries as well, a true perspective of the course of events should be held out. In England and France alike, the main obstacle is the excessive rigor of the censorship, and this subject I discussed with some of the leading men in England. I was glad to learn that some concessions to the press are now being considered. • * • Must Appeal to Imagination "What we all f»el on the foreign committee," said M. Franklin-Bouillon, "is that our own communiques arc too bald and uninteresting a recital to in spire our people with that enthusiasm so necessary to maintain them steadily until victory is won. The English eye witnesses, one with the English army and one with the French, are certainly doing fine work; 'but to get at the great masses of people, things must be dished up and presented in all sorts of different ways iby trained writers, each with his own point of view and literary style. From my committee's standpoint it is a supreme need that the doings of the French army should be brought home to the imagination of the English peo ple, and to that end a strong recommen dation has been officially made that a few newspaper correspondents be at tached to the headquarters staff. If that is done, it will perhaps be the beginning of taking the public in England iyid France more into the confidence of our governments than is the case at pres ent." • • • "Neutral" Estimate of the Kaiser "The German Emperor's popularity has been undoubtedly increased with the war," writes "a neutral correspond ent" to the London "Times" from Ger many. "'He is considered to be the only man fit to serve as an example to his subjects and he is at the same time the embodiment of all they most admire. His outward appearance, his mind, his piety and almost all his un dertakings are in accordance with the taste and wishes of bis people. That he is clever, active and in many ways bril liant even his worst enemies admit; most of his subjects in their idolatry, think him infallible. Among the mili tary caste, however, though nothing is openly said against him, he does not possess the same influence in directing strategical operations as he unquestion ably had in the early stages of the war. His generals seem to have found a way of preventing bim from seriously inter fering with the campaign." * • * The New Lord Rothschild The new 'Lord Rothschild is not con nected with the banking business which QUIT MEAT WHEN KIDNEYS BOTHER Take a Glass of Baits Before Breakfast If yoar Back Hurts or Bladder Is Troubling Yon No man or woman who eats meat reg ularly can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well known authority. Meat forms uric acid which excites the kidneys, they become overworked from the strain, get slug gish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and urinary disorders come from sluggish kidneys. The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back. hurts or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or at tended by a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat and get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water be fore breakfast and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate the kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot injure; makes a delightful effervescent litbia-water drink which everyone should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active and the blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney complications.—Adv.
