A despatch from Guelph says:—
The first woman to be graduated front
the •Ontario Agricultural College will
be Mies S. J. Chase of Greenwich, N.
S., who completes her course this year.
This year's class is one of the largest
ever graduated from the college, and
includes a large percentage of return-
ed ro diems.:It is expected that 75
students will be . graduated.
Offers of positions foie fourth-year
students are coming in gradually, and -
a number have been accented. Salaries
are good, although reit so high as last
year.
The students in the graduating
ai<ass represent nearly every` Province
in: the Dominion, as well as Scotkind
and . South Africa.

day when some monarchist rumor
fails to sweep over the Old World that
a king or an emperor somewhere is
going back to his people. The wood-

Charles sneaked back across the fron-
tier. Monarchist :parties are formed
and sometimes 'come into power, as in
Greece. The return of Constantine

The. Earl of Reading, now on his
way to India to resume the respansi
bilities of the viceroyalty, takes up n
evhite titan's burden of the first mag-
nitude; and it is fortunate for India
that he does not io•ved it as the white
man's burden alone.
The Government of India Aet, pais..
sed in 1919, has not completely effect-
ed a "transition from a bureaucratic
to a self-govern:meat sytern"; but it
is e departure in that direction, anti it

agitators, who prey upon the illiter-
acy of 90 per eent. of the population.
This Act delegates to provincial gov-

gives to provincial councils the con-

owners and taxpayers. Thi means
that India has a voting list of about
5,000,000. That is riot a large number.

UniversityAttendance.
On the face of things it may seem
unjust that the City of Toronto with
only between twenty and twenty-five
per cent of the population of the
Province should have thirty-five per
cent. of the enrolment of the Pro-
vineia1 University. There are, how-
ever, two considerations which, if the
facts were available, would materially
affect these pereentages. One is that
the families of many students move
to the city while they are attending
the University, and that other that
there is a considerable number of
undergraduates who have no homes
and who on their registration forms
give only their hoarding house ad-
dresses in the city.
Even as the figures stand the pro-
portion is not out of place. It is but
natural that a university situated in
the:, Largest centre of population
should have from that centre a larger
proportion of students than from
other places. If the Provincial Uni-
versity were situated in, some email
city or town the only appreciable dif-
ference in the enrolment would be that
there would be fewer students from
Toronto. The enrolment from the
Province outside of Toronto would
not be materially affected. To have
the Provincial University placed
where it is within easy reach. of the
largest number is surely the demo-
cratic way.
