Since the Society was formed, its work has grown apace, so much so that it is now spending at least $25,000 per annum. The 'Government's yearly grant is only $5,000, so it is obvious that there is great need of outside support. Actual- ly, for the first five months of the present financial year, ex- penditure has exceeded income by close on $5,000. It is clear, therefore, that if this essential work is to continuo on its present basis, let alone any funds will be basis, let alone any question of expansion. more funds will be needed. A point to be emphasis ed, also, is that there is no question of the efforts of the Society being misdirected, or of abuse of the system which it operates. All cases are given the most careful scrutiny, and overy cent laid out is spent to good purpose. An immense amount of time and trouble la spent by the voluntary workera of the Society, as well as by its small paid personnel, and the least that the residents of the Colony can do is to see that adequate menna are provided for carrying on this definitely con- structive picco of social activity. The Society's appeal, for help warrants the fullest possible response, and we trust that it will receive the support which it so richly merits.

A college without classrooms, is something new under the sun, and in more drastic departure from or- dinary educational routine would be hard to imagine. But the ex- periment Bounds extremely in- teresting: Indeed, one of the en- couraging things about education to-day is its growing willingness to make drastic and far-reaching experiments. It is hardly going too far to say that colleges and universities have fallen short of

expectations in the last decade or 60.. We have been living in a time of unprecedented change. New de velopments in science, in industry, In the whole complicated art of making and distributing the neces sitics and luxuries of life, have, changed the basis on which we live and work together.

UA

Yet institulions of higher learn, ing have not been giving thoughtful, questioning, and, in- tellectually alert leadership to help us meet this change. Instead, to big percentage of people college is a place where sports are de veloped. To others it is a sort of glorified country club where young man can put in four plea- pant years getting his rough edges planed down and fitting himself for movement in polite society. That is why experiments are so welcome. Not all may work. That doesn't matter. The point in that some sort of change is needed if educational institutions are to

the place they should all in national life. Persistent experi mentation will help them find it.
