Three Grades,

The universities and colleges are the last step in education. Most of these are State institutions and have only a small tuition fee. There is no charge of any sort in any of the lower schools, not even for books, but if the student goes to the universities he is required to pay a small sum for tuition and, of course, he must buy his own books. In most cases the student must leave home to attend these schools" and, of course, this is an added expense. The cost for a year's schooling should never rup higher than $1,000 and this sum will cover all expenses. If the student has no means there are plenty of ways. study takes eight years to com- for him to work his way through pleto; high schools give an addi- the university.

Many students live in fraternity and " sorority houses, which are owned by the students themselves, and they are social organizations with` the. added advantages of giving the stu "dents a good and reasonable home.
