Decrease in Students from Older Pro
fessions Explained.
The biennial report on higher
education in Pennsylvania made
by Dr. Nathan 0, SchaetTer, su
perintendent of public instruc
tion and ex otVico secretary of the
college and university council
has just reached (iovernor Pen
nypacker. The report sr.ys : The decrease
in the number of professional
students is due partly to the ad
vance in standards of admission
to the pre fessions and partly to
our industrial activity. Lucra
tive positions lure the students
away from the older professions.
The increased rigor of the state
examinations for admission to
the bar will, the report says, be
fore many years, cause a similar
decrease in the number of stu
dents for the profession of law.
Piles get nuick relief from Dr.
Shoop's Magic Ointment. Re
member it's made alone for Piles
and it works with certainty aud
satisfaction. Itching, painful,
protruding, or blind piles disap
pear like magic by its use. Try
it and see! Sold at Dickson's
