Yale, Harvard, Dartmouth, Chicago, Washington, Minneseta, and a score or more of other outstanding in stitutions have made revolutionary chunges to innugurate programs leading toward the promotion of sound learning. They are seeking criti cal guidance of a higher order in their efforts. That more than fifty institutions of hiier learning are mak ng radical chances, inlicates that there is confusion in the minds of the public and of educators as to the proper objectives of undergraduate education. 3 Let us then turn from the inter pal to the external problems. There 8 an important change in the at titude of people towards higher ed ucation. The tax payers are now asking whether the rolleges are in fact instruments of public policy; whether the cost of education is npt out of proporticn to results obained ; whether duplication and waste can not be eliminated; whether customers or their par ents should not pay a larger part of the cost of college education. These are important questions and must be answered by those charg ed with the administration and control of our educational system. The depression has emphasized all these problems. ¢ During the days of prosperity colleges expanded their curricula, their faculties, and their building programs. There was plenty of money to gratify the whims and fancies of everybody, but the day of reckoning has come, and we re alize now that we expanded be yond our needs and our income, and today we jqnust make drastic -eurtailndent, along -all lines. No matter what changés are made, these will not satisfy all people.j‘ That can not be helped. Taxpayers Strike The people of the United States have gone on a strike so far as paying taxes. To meet the situa tion drastic retrenchment in gov ernment is being made. Colleges and universities must face thé& same problems, namely wTeduced personnel, restricted curricula, andl reduction in overhead. When taxes are unpaid, appropriations are un paid and when appropriations are | unpaid, expenses must be educed. The obligations of colleges and universities must be met or thelr‘ credit is suspended. The situation with our higher in stitutions of learning both public and private, in all the states Is critical.

The guarding detachmen? would leave for camp Sunday, he said. “Operating Quietly” ‘ Aside from the proclamation the governor left no statement and authorized no “omment before leaving for Watkinsvilie, where he addressed the Lions club Sat urday at noon. Writing in The Statesman a weekly newspaper of 'which he is an associate editor, he ‘sald, however, that ‘‘the new‘ ’mglp;ters of the Highway board Messrs.

BANFORD, President University of Geofgia : our best talent. Boards of survey have been asked for in many states. It was thought that such surveys could give an unprefudiced re port. As a result of these surveys drastic changes are being made in North Carolina, Texas, Oklahoma, Washington, Oregon, Montana, and in other states. In many of these states the changes are more dras tic than those 'being ~ made in Georgia. It is believed that 1t changes even though some blund ers are made will enhance the ef ficiency of the institutions. These changes were sure to come; the depression merely hastened them. Within the last three months the Univergity System has Yeen reduced from 26 to 15 state sup ported institutions. We now have six Senior Colleges, six Junior col leges, and three Negro Junior Coel leges. ‘ The three units of the University System of Georgia in Athens have been consolidated into the Univer sity of Georgia.

Crowd Silent A crowd of 500, including a number of strikers, met the sol diers as they filed from a special train at the Brownsvilie station. The crowd watched silently as the men formed ranks, Groups of miners straggled after the guardsmen as they marched to the camp, three and a half miles from Grindstone, site of Colonial Na. 3 mine of the H.
