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.

among canvassing, nursing, teaching

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.
KEEPING WIFEY DRESSED.
"Money isn't everything."
"No; there are ways of getting
along. Take my ease, for instance.
I married into a family where there
is a dressmaker. You have no idea
what a help that is."
BAD HABIT.
"My little son began writing poetry
when he was very young," said
the proud mother.
"Well, why didn't you punish him
then for it?" was the neighl>or's only
reply. (

ECONOMIC SYSTEM TO 8LAME
That So Many People Need Hospital
Treatment Is a Result of Unwise

That, of course, is largely flue to

systems. Bad housing, preventable
occupational diseases, alcoholism and
many other opprobria of the present
social order acco'nnt for many of our
sins against the laws of health. The
hospital itself often falls short with
respect to the care of venereal eases,
the insanities, decent privacy, the social
service spirit, the spirit of charity,

the hospital receives no pay from the
city or relatives, the segregation of
