Study of Student Migration
Shows Interesting Facts.
California Cames Nearest to Taking-
Care of Her Own of Any'
State.
NEW YORK. Nov. 13. A study of
student migration shows that
New Jersey leads all other states in
the percentage of its college students
sent to other states to be educated.
New Hampshire leads all others in
the percentage of students received
from other states for education and
New York ranks first in the total
number of undergraduates sent out
side the state for college instruction.
This information is furnished by
Dr. Robert L. Kelly, executive secre
tary of the Council of Church Boards
of Education, who has completed a
survey for that organization of stu
dent movements throughout the
United ' States. The survey does not
include the larger state universities,
but simply the institutioms ranked as
accredited colleges by the Association,
of American Universities, the North i
Central Association of Colleges and
Secondary schools, the Association of
Colleges and Secondary schools of the
southern states and the University of
California.
The survey revealed. Dr. Kelly said,
that Ohio and Pennsylvania are in
the lead with the greatest number
of colleges. there being 17 In
each state, while there are 12 states
which have no accredited college.
These are Alabama.. Arizona, Arkan
sas, Delaware. Idaho, Montana, Ne
vada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Utah.
West Virginia and Wyoming. These
12 furnish 2246 college students to
the institutions of other states, in
the list surveyed.
"Conversely, it' is interesting to
note," said Dr. Kelly, "that California
comes the nearest of any state to
taking care of her own students. Only
6.6 per cent of California students
attend college outside the state."
Among other facts revealed by the
survey are:
Ohio leads in the total number of
college students enrolled.
The District of Columbia has the
highest average enrollment per col
lege, which s 2629.
Massachusetts leads in the total
number of students drawn from out
side the state, the number being 4165.
Ohio leads in the total number of
students in and outside the state. -
There is a striking lack of migra
tion, the survey showed, of students
of southern states to states of the
north. Outside of a limited amount of
migration from one southern state
to another, southern student migra
tion is almost nil.
Hard Times in Germany
Hit Universities.
Educators Must Either Accept
Lower Pay or Hunt Other
Fields.
BERLIN. Nov. 13. Hard times In
Germany, marked by high prices
and depreciated money values, unem
ployment and industrial reorganiza
tion, have forced readjustments in
universities and private schools.
which, the newspapers say, will mean
many professors, lecturers and pri
vate instructors either will be thrown
out of work or compelled by low
salaries to seek employment in other
countries. A n-imber already have
gone to Mexico and South. America,
and it is reported scores have made
arrangements to leave.
In some papers it is suggested that
"perhaps the hard times are not alone
responsible for the attitude the pro
fessors have assumed, for it is known
they are keenly sensible of the out
rageous times and their loss of dig
nity" under the reipublic.
The difficulties of the situation
have increased by the advent of hun
dreds of teachers formerly employed
in the province of Posen. Regret is
expressed that in Posen 15.000 chil
dren of German parentage will be
without German instruction, and that
these probably in a short time will
become Polish.

Keep Fit For Success In Life
BY DR. A. B. BABCOCK.
You can take your boy and out of him make anything you like if
you can get him under good self -discipline. All roads are open to the
man who is strong and fit. Uncle Sam took "our boys" those slab
eided, stooped, hollow-chested youths and made of them vigorous,
well-developed, well set-up and courageous men. Take the right
way! Train yourself and your children to take proper exercise,
drink plenty of water and keep the system clean. Your doctor will
tell you that anything from a common cold or headache to the most
serious illness may result from the absorption of poisons in the
intestines.
The first principle is to keep the system clean. Occasionally see
that the boy or girl, as well as yourself, has an internal bath.
It may be with castor oil or a tiny pill of May-apple, aloin and jalap,
which is sold by druggists as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
If a cold starts with a cough and it persists, then some local
treatment for this condition should be taken. A well-known alter
ative extract which has been on the market for a great many years,
and which has been highly recommended by thousands of users, is
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. This tonic compound is
composed of an extract of roots and herbs, without alcohol, and has a
soothing effect upon the mucous membrane, allays the irritation and
at the same time works in the proper arid reasonable way, at the seat
of the troublethe BtAtedpedblooL
some quarters that the state should
copsider means by which the services
of professors who propose to leave
could be retained for German school.

HOUSEWIVES ARE ANGRY
Indignation Against Food: Minister
Given Vent at Wedding.
BERLIN, Nov. 13. Angry house
wives vented their - indignation on
Herr Hermes, the food minister, whilo
he was being married in a church
at Steglitz recently, by jeering and
keeping up a running fire of uncom
plimentary remarks while the mar
riage ceremony was in progress. Their
comments were directed against the
minister's food policy.
The bride was natilrally proud of
the fact that she was to wed a cabi
net minister and took care that the
time and place of the wedding should
be known to everyone. Notices giving
that information were published in
the newspapers.
A knot of women had gathered at
the church doors and took advantage
of the opportunity to tell the min
ister what they thought of his admin
istration. The Vorwaerts says that
Herr Hermes and his bride found the
situation so uncomfortable that after
the ceremony they left the church by
a side door.
