University in India, as in U.S. Serves as Target for Critics Sam Higginbottom Says in Chat
Universities and students in India are targets, as they are in America, for educational critics who charge that the schools are unequal. They believe that the students are superficial and narrow, Sam Higginson, missionary, farmer and teacher in India for the past 22 years, is an anti-educational figure on Ghana. Wednesday afternoon.
"A degree to an Indian student is a trade union label," Higginsbottom said. "It gets a man a job and that is its chief value to him. Students in institutions, like government work and law, are often based upon the scholastic standing of the applicant. So we have such practices as this: A man applies for a job as a bachelor, but he is not came up for his bachelor of arts degree but failed in the examination. However, the salary of a 'failed B.' A is between that of a B, A, and n F. A, or a student who has passed the entrance exam at the end of the sophomore year."
The university holds a radically different position in the educational system of India than in the United States, as Higginsbon's description
"The British government controls education and the university system has the University of London for its prototype. This makes the university title much more attractive to the students in the colleges of the district—Mohammedan, Christian and Hindu—come twice during their four year courses." Mr. Sarkar's my district, until recently granted 20,000 degrees in one year. But you must remember that the district from which the University of Allahabad draws students is located in a city with an area in and has a population of 135 million people."
What a cause for weeping and wailing and grashing of teeth America can students would have under the same circumstances is what Higginsbeth says about it:
"All examinations are given by the government. If you fail in one subject your year will be reduced and you must take all of the examination over the next time. Teachers other than those who gave it course prepare the examinations for you."
A consolation for the stiff examinations lies in the fact that only two of them are normally given during a course of four years. One is given at the end of the sophomore year; the other at the end of the senior year. Examination time for Indian students evidently is a time of storm and stress

Technical Reports Will Be Read in Convention
Papers will be presented by three University of Kanaa members of the Kansas Academy of Science at its 88th annual meeting which will be held at Stout College April 25, according to Prof. E. A. White, secretary of the organization. A special invitation has been extended to members of the Oklahoma Academy of Science and science teachers of the University of Oklahoma to attend the meeting.
surmassing even the coffee orgies and early morning vigils of the American colleges.
The program for the meeting has not been entirely made up yet but
"There is a great deal of worry at examination time. Passing the examination means so much to students that they often resort to all kinds of cheating and cribbing. However, if they fail they take it publicly by saying, 'I have been考试, it is written, is it is ordained by the lieutenants that the student fall."
The most disastrous effect of the examination system, however, Higginsbottom pointed out, is the effect upon the undergraduate work.
"There are very few students in the colleges who are working for love and genuine desire for knowledge, any more than in America. They are working to pass the examination and by that means secure an honorable post."
Mr. Higginbottom was asked what kind of subjects Indian students took. "Two subjects are compulsory: English and a classical subject. Mohammed the classical language will be either Persian or Araban; if he is a Hindu it will be a Hindu language or Sanskrit. The other two subjects are elective and may be mathematics, economics and psychology, physiology and other subjects."
In one respect, however, the average Indian student is unintelligible to the American university student. This is his distaste for commercial subjects as a part of a university program. A school of business in most universities or colleges would have little chance.
"But if the Indian student is not interested in getting a commercial training out of his higher education, as American students are, and if he is not armed with an aim to argue that he may not act in an education?" Mr. Higginbottom was asked.
His reply was simple: "A job with not too long hours, with comfortable pay, fairly easy work, and a pension income. He can leave his house he can retire to his house and his garden and live happily with few carets. The Indian people are at the stage of development."
Asked of the position of athletics in the schools of India, Mr. Higbottowno revealed the startling—to American youth—bit of information and were engaged in by most students, no admission price was charged for inter-scholastic contests. Moreover such things as stadiums are unthought of the simple Indian mind holding that it is not interested he must be not mind standing.
papers on the following subjects will be presented by the University of Kansas members of the academy: A Colimetric Reaction of Pectin by Prof. Henry Werner; the Husell Till Test and Erosion Pillars in the Morrison Phi Beta Club; Prof. Walter H., Schewere; The Effect of Cigarette Smoke on Growing Mammals by Prof. W. J. Buangartner.
Chinese Bankers Protest
Appointment of English Finance Director Causes Fight
Shanghai, March 19. - Strong opposition to foreign control of China's internal finances has developed as the nation's new national spirit in China.
(United Press)
In resolutions addressed to the Chinese government at Peking, a number of local organizations, chief among them the Chinese Bankers Association, strongly criticizes the reported decision of the Peking government appointment of Zhang general-general of Chinese maritime customs, to take charge of the new bonds to be issued by the Chinese government.
The protest reiterates the demands for removal of foreign control of China's governmental enterprises and says: "This proposal will not only fail to restore the privileges lost by China, but it will make the inspector-general more powerful, the counter-to the devises issued by the government. You are earnestly requested to abandon this proposal."
Extensive plans for the future of the Sour Owl and the chapter in general were discussed at the meeting of Signa Stigma Association on Friday afternoon house Tuesday night. It was decided to have a meeting next Tuesday night at a 4 o'clock in conjunction with a light breakfast, with a longer to address the fraternity.

Religious Seer Called Greatest Hindu Born Since Time of Buddha
"Mr. Ghani has resigned. Politically and economically he is discredited, yet today in India he stands higher in public estimation than he ever has." This was the estimation of the position of Mahmatta Ghani made by Sam Higginbotham, agricultural missionary and scientist, on Wednesday after information in the auditorium of the central Administration building.
Higginboth explained this seeming paradox by saying that Ghandi as a religious seer and a beautiful character had won the devotion of nearly all Hindus and the respect of the Muhammedans and the Hindu sages, the little man, "the greatest Hindu born since Buddha, 2500 years ago."
The agricultural missionary told of the three principal phases of Ghanda's work in India, namely to secure national autonomy by non-resistance and economic non-costumerity government; to build up Hindu-Mohammedan unity; and to alleviate the degraded position of the Hindu untouchables, whom the caste system degrades to a position worse the nhtnt of many animals. In speaking of the non-scientific more backward by Ghandh, Hinggebackt it
"I thing it is fair to Mr. Ghandi to point out that he is not *n* passive re-jeive. He believes in love as a force."
peter. He believes in love as a force," Hirginbottom's own opinion of British rule is, "I think that the British government has kept its promise to Indianize the government of India. The important jobs are filled by Indians. However the most important positions are held by Europeans. But gradually the control of the government by the Indian government increases, judges, including high courts, are natives. The viceroy is always a European—at present a Jew, and an able one—but he nets always in council. His council contains several Indians."
In speaking of the religious leadership of Ghandi this Christian missionary said:
"Containment to a common belief, Ghani is not a Christian. He loves the Hindu religion, including its worship of the cow and its belief in transmarriage. He has, however, lived according to Christ's teachings of love." His most recent triumphs is to help the miserable and disdainful onduchones. In these efforts he is meeting the opposition of the orthodox Hindus."

Income Tax Payments In
Increased Figures Attributed to Corporations
(United Press)
Chicago, March 19—Increased prosperity for the great industrial corporations of the Middle West was reflected today in the announcement that the income tax payments for the first quarter of 1920 exceeded by more than six million dollars this year. To the figure of this year expected to be raised still further by payments mailed late, which are yet to be tabulated.
The greatly increased payments were attributed by the collectors of internal revenue to the prosperity of the big corporations in this aven. The largest payment was in the period just prior was for the quarter of the year. The huge increase came as a surprise in view of the fact that the reduced rates of the new income tax laws have been expected to cut federal revenues by substantial mor
