the previous examinations," of
Latin shall be one; and that the oan
date ahall have the option of off

Oreek or French or German. It la felt
that the exlatenco of classical entrance
scholarships will effectually promote
the atudy of Oreek at the university by
many of the abler men.
It Is not proposed to make the "pre
vious examinations sasler, but to open
the avenue to a degree to those who
have been educated at universities
whsre two classical languages are not
compulsory.
When once the "previous examina
tion Is passed the ""ordinary" student
usually proceeds to take one or more
special examinations. It is suggested
to increase the number of these and
generally to widen the curriculum. New
subjects may be Introduced and re
grouping will probably follow.

LONDON, Feb. 1. Postmaster-General
Illlngworth predicts that England
will have difficulty in obtaining food
until next August, but after that, he
said, there would be an improvement,
which would be steady and continuous,
for the shipbuilding position was im
proving very rapidly and was very
nearly, though not quite, equal to the
losses the country was suffering from
submarines.
"Before very long," he added, "our
efforts alone would have overtaken the
position and our tonnage would be In
creasing:. Besides. American shipbuild
ing is beginning to be felt and in ths
course of the next month or two the
output of American and British ship
pin? will be considerably more than the
submarines are sinking. Our position
is very much better than that of Ger
many, where the people are almost on
the brink of starvation."'
