PAY WAY THROUGH COLLEGE Large Percentage of Young Women at Oberlin Are Practically Dependent on Own Resources. The special committee in charge of loans to students in Oberlin college reports that a very significant percentage of the young women enrolled in various departments of the institution depend either entirely or *in part upon their nrrn resources for their college education. There arc about- four hundred young women registered in the college of arts and sciences who returned answers. Of the 80 women classed as wholly or partly self-supporting, seven are working for all of their room and board; 14 for part. The price for room, board, heat and light paid by those who are working for part, averages approximately $2. The cost to those who paid all in money is practically double this amount. It is significant that only one student reports that she is lioarding herself, and one that she is preparing the lighter meals. Thirty-seven have borrowed money; 3G are earning money while studying; f?7 arc using or have used money earned and saved. The industries reported are: School-teaching, 40; housework, 18; office work. 11; with a scattering distributed among canvassing, nursing, teaching music, artist, market gardening. library assistant, post otfiee assistant, playground work, seamstress and curio saleswoman. ODD ANIMAL ON EXHIBITION National Museum at Washington Has a Prize in Its Recently Aoquired Gerenuk. The National museum at Washington has put on exhibition a mounted gerenuk. This animal was secured in British East Africa by the Smithsonian African expedition of 11)09-10, under the direction of Colonel Roosevelt, and is the first specimen of this odd gazelle to be exhibited in the collection of the museum. lu appearance the gerenuk is a peculiar mammal, resembling an antelope, and yet having such a long neck and such long, thin legs aR to cause the layman to believe it must be related to the giraffe. However, it is a gazelle, scientifically termed it.. T 111 * ... me uunocranius waileri, or Waller's gazelle. The l>ody and head arc like those of a gazelle, hut the legs and nock are greatly elongated. Its natural hahitat is in British East Africa. In the hook. "Life Histories of African (lame Animals," issued by Colonel Roosevelt and Edmund 1 Teller, it is said that this animal is universally distributed in the region north of the Tana river and throughout Somaliland, where it is well known to every traveler.
