OXFORD, England (AP) Ox
ford tradesmen ur gravely con-,
cerned over tho increasing ten-!
dency of undergraduates to pay i
cash for their purchase. The new
fashion save the postage on the
customary 36 monthly duns, but It
in runs the Ions of the extravagant
custom of the young Verdant
(Jreens of prewar days, who order-'
d silk dressing gowns by the half
dozen In tho serene belief that
bills due threo years hence aro
really no proper bills at all. 1
Tradesmen are discovering that.
the man who buys for cash buys'
carefully and stints tho more exotic!
cmviugs of his fancy. Worse still
they are discovering that he prefers.
to do his buying in London, where
a shopping excursion is a very de-i
sirable excuse for a restful after-'
noon in one of the inustc halls.
London competition is far from
pleasing, for it was long ago set-!
tied that Oxford prices should be
set well above those of the ne-'
tropolis during term time, to carry
over the lean vacation when streets
are deserted and tradesmen recline
against their sturdy oak counter i
in mid and wistful boredom. '
Tile increase In cash purchases
is indicative of a shining of social
standards. Few er undergraduates
are now the sons of choleric and
unbusinesslike old country gentle
men wiili gout and ancient lint-ige;
more and more Iroin the very re
cently acquired country swits of
moneyed men ot husines.s who are ;
better judgts ot accounts (ban of !
ho niett and Maderia. In the uni- !
versiiy as elsewhere the easy-going '
credit system bacd on the. unim
peachable honesty, solvency und re
spectability of Ihe settled country
families is giving way to the rule
of ready cash.

IIRKLIX (AP) America is lead
ing the way in educational meth
od!) for the blind, in the opinion of
Miss Petty llirseh, director of the
school lor the blind founded dur
ing the World war by Germany's
famous oculist, t.' hejmrat Silex.
"The city of Cleveland," she ob
serves, "has found the ideal solu
tion of the problem, in that educa
tion for tho blind is not rarriod on
in special schools for the blind,
I ! blind pupils are interspersed
among the sighted children. This
procedure is of the greatest benefit
not only to the' blind children, but
to the others as well, in that It ac
customs them to getting nlong with
their less fortunate fellow pupils
nnd shows them lhat a blind stu
dent can do fully as well as a sight
ed one.
"n'ho feelinfr of human pride is
finite as pronounced w it h blind
people-as It is with those enjoying
eye tight. S'lf -confidence can be
encouraged among t ho blind only
If they reel that they are being of
fered an opportunity to show that
they can hold their own In compe
tition wilii others. If the blind are
separated from I he sighted, this
confidence can never be instilled in
tlieiu. America is rhsnlutely right
in mixing the blind in with the
sighted."
