OUT OUR WAY
Every day the news^pers are filled with dis
patches of civil war in Nicaragua, United States
interference to protect the lives of nationals of this
and other nations, debate in the senate over the
wisdom of onr Pan American policy. Unless we are
up on our geography we know little or nothing of
the small country oyer which there is so much ado.
Being curious to know more of the little nation
we took' the trouble to dig out the old geography
and we leaned:
“ Nicaragua, bounded by Honduras on the north
and Costa Bica on the souUi, has an area of 49,200
square miles and a population, according to the
last available figures, of 638,119. ’
The capital is Managua, a city of 60,342 souls,
and the largest city is Leon,' with about 70,000.
. Two mountain, ranges traverse the country. .On
the plateaus life is fairly pleasant, but on the coast
and in the lowlands it is altogether too hot. *
“ The dry season runs from December to April
and the rainy season from May to November in
the western section of the country, but in the eastern
part it rains all the year around.
“ Nicaragua exports coffee, cabinet woods, rub
ber, sugar, bananas, gold, silver and hides. She
grows tobacco, eotton, cacao, maize and wheat. Her
principal items of food are maize and beaus.
“ Agriculture and mining are the chief indus
tries. Ooxn is the principal crop, but most of it is
eaten at horn?. Sugar production is greater than in
any other Central American state. Coffee representa
27 per cent of total exports and sugar 22 per cent.
Production of gold varies. It arose to a high mark
of 20 per cent of the export total in 1915.
“ The education system is not so bad. Free
primary education is compulsory for children be
tween the ages of 5 and 14. Facilities are good for
free higher instruction.”
, And that’s altout all there is to know of the
country over which all the hullaballo has been
Guantanamo in all worked up. With all the war
ships going to Nicaragua, the convention bureau
fears Cuba won’t get the maneuvers this"year.
West Point cadets can smoke openly now. Their
girl friends often were inconvenienoed when the boys
bad no fags between dances.

SCHOOL AWM teOOE.
A prepared statement from Arnold , Bennett
Hall, president of the University of Oregon just
received today carries the rather startling informa
tion that every Oregon student who attends this
(great institution of learning is compelled to pay
out in feès the sum of $109.46. This is a surprising
and disappointing situation. A state owned school
who finds it necessary during the years of advance
ment to finance itself partly by assessing students*
an inverted tuition, under the innocent and polite
title of fees.
*•
, We who have been brought to look upon our
state schools as being free to those who can present
the necessary scholastic standing, wake ùp to find
that onr boys and girts are compelled to pay in
“ fees,” that which nearly amounts to the usual
tuition charges of out-of-state schools.
There is something radically wrong with onr
general financial structure when we are unable to
properly finance a state school from state funds
assessed for that purpose, when we have to resort
to charging foes for every conceivable purpose
in order that onr school may keep up the high stand
ard set by other institutions. Either the men who
are Responsible for the finances of the state univer.
sity are terribly short sighted in not protecting the
students and Dad and Mother at home from this
vicious system of having to dig up for that which
should be financed by state wide taxation, or, the
funds that can be raised for this purpose are so lim
ited that they do not fullfill the mission for which
they were intended. .
Whatever may be the cause for such a situation,
it is unjust and unfair, and will mean as the years
go by that many boys and girls, who are rightfully
entitled to a higher education will be barred because
of the “ fee” system.
