SCHOOL AND COLLEGE POPULATION IN 1900-1901. Higher Education in Great Britain and Treland. Higher education is provided in Great Britain and Ireland by universities and detached colleges, and professional education by special schools of medicine attached to the principal hospitals, and by schools of law and theology. During the last few years there has been a number of changes in methods pursued by the larger universities, especially in the way of offering new degrees. In 1891 the University of Oxford instituted the degrees of Bachelor of Letters and Bachelor of Science, which were intended to promote and recognize the value of study and research. The requirements for these degrees are a course of special study or research and a residence of two years. Recently, as a result of this move, a doctorate in letters and in science was created. Cambridge has also made plans for the admission of persons as advanced students, the degree of B. A. being obtainable by those who have shown a residence of six terms and have obeyed the regulations as to examinations. The University of London, which was sanctioned in 1900, embraces the following schools: University College and Kings College, ten medical schools and six theological colleges, the Royal College of Science, the Southeastern Agricultural College, the City and Guilds' Institute. the London College of Economics, the Royal Holloway College and Bedford College. The senate of the University is empowered to add to these any public institution, within prescribed limits. A faculty of law is in the process of being organized. Victoria University now accepts a certificate from many secondary schools in Lancashire and Yorkshire in lieu of matriculation tests. Birmingham University, to which Andrew Carnegie has recently given $250,000, has at the donor's suggestion, embodied some of the salient features of American university methods. The Scottish universities have made some rather important changes in their methods recently. The course for the M. A. degree has been made less rigid and more varied by the permission of a choice of subjects within definite limits, and graduation with honors has been encouraged. The existing provision for higher education in Ireland comprises the University of Dublin and the Royal University, an examining body to which are affiliated the three Queen's Colleges. Until 1850 the University of Dublin was the only body in Ireland authorized to confer degrees. Cost of Higher Education in Various Countries. The figures given in the tables of the cost of higher education in various countries are from the report of the Commissioner of Education, and are intended to give an idea of the approximate amounts paid for higher education in the principal countries of the world. Educational systems differ greatly in different countries and it is possible to make fair comparisons of cost only where it is possible to make fair comparisons of the systems employed. In Germany a great deal of such work as is done in higher educational institutions in this country is carried on in the secondary schools, or gymnasia. In a number of countries which might have place in these tables, it was impossible to obtain data, according to the Commissioner's report, and no safe figures can be given. In other cases, census figures had to be used, though dating back several years previous to the time of the report. The data for Greece was obtained shortly after the war with Turkey, and are much lower than might be expected. *The cost of higher education in the United States can be approximated only, as the expenses are met by so many different methods. For the same reason only an approximation of the per capita cost can be given. The Government expended $985,009 toward higher education in 1900. Name. H. C. Gunnels.. Thomas J. Kirk.. Mrs. Helen L.
