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

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

Neither Root nor Borah seems very eager to cast' his

It is reported that President Wilson will not be opposed

that the Democrats for once are agreed on something so
important as the presidency? ,

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."

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.
