neither Howell nor Couzens belong

BISHOP RECEIVES
CARNEGIE HONOR
Librarian W. W. Bishop of the
University, has been honored by
appointment as chairman of a re-
cently constituted advisory group
of college librarians, it was an-
nounced recently by Frederick P.
Keppel, president of the Carnegie
corporation of New York. R. M.
Lester, assistant to the president
of the Carnegie corporation, is
secretary.
This group was formed to advise
the Carnegie corporation as to
grants to college libraries. These
grants will probably -take the form
of books rather than money for
buildings or operation. The group,
has held two meetings.

basis of party regularity and sen-

newcomer into the Senate, was at-

Oil Company BoardI
Chairmanship Asked
In Stewart Letters
CHICAGO, Feb. 21.--Stockhold-
ers of the Standard Oil Co. of
Indiana, who March 7 will decide
whether Col. Robert W. Stewart is
to continue as chairman of the
board, have been mailed a new ap-
peal for re-election by Col. Stew-
art.
The letter charges spokesmen of1
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., with a
"campaign of misrepresentation"
in their effort to remove Col. Stew-
art fro mcontrol. It expresses the
hope that the contest between the
younger Rockefeller and himself
be kept on a high plane. "It was
my understanding that such, too,
was the hope and intention of Mr.
Rockefeller," the letter continued.
"Then Mr. Rockefeller sailed for
Egypt," Col. Stewart wrote in the
letters which went into the mails
Wednesday night. "Mr. Aldrich
(Winthrop W. Aldrich, brother-in-
la wand attorney for Mr. Rockefel-
ler) and Mr. Ivy Lee apparently
did not understand the matter as
he did.
"After saying he would embark
on no "unseemingly scramble for
proxies," it surely must be without
his knowledge or consent that
others in his name have embarked
upon a campaign of misrepresen-
tation; that they, in a very wild
scramble for proxies, indeed, have
brought the whole force of ilhe
Rockefeller millions to bear to in-
timidate and coerce wherever pos-
sible individuals and financial in-
stitutions and all of the companies
which the Rockefeller ' interests
dominate in order to defeat the
present management of this com-
pany."
His opponents, Col. Stewart said,
have initiated a "rule or ruin"
policy bent on obtaining control of
the company "regardless of th
consequences."
The chairman denied he was
asking a personal vindication of
the stockholders "that has already
been given to me by two courts
and two juries." What he wanted,
he said, was that they vote "for
the good of the company and your
own good."
FOREIGN-Danish women are a
serious lot, according to a report
from Copenhagen. One-third of
the undergraduate students of the
University of Denmark are spe-
cializing in philosophy. Six girls
are specializing in theology, even
though Danish women tnay not
hold church positions. The report
says 163 are going to be doctors,
59 lawyers, 22 political scientists,
and 97 are studying English.

STUDY DISCLOSES
SCHOOL CHANGES
Consolidated rural schools have
been taking the place ofone-teach-
er schools at the rate of 1000 a
year during the last decade, it has
been disclosed through a recent
comprehensive survey made by the
Bureau of Education.
Arguments in favor of the spe-
cialized school point out that the
one room schools are usually taught
by the least trained and youngest
teachers, that the percentage of
attendance in one teacher schools
is far below that of grade schools
and that the social advantages of-
fered by larger schools give them
a superiority in training pupils
that can not be reached.
