FLOCKING TO CITIES IS SLOWING UP

AND PROF. COOLEY SAYS IT IS LIKELY TO CEASE

Prof. Adams Says That Efforts Should be Made to Demolish Caste Feeling

Agricultural College, Lansing, Mich., Feb. 26. - Vice President Hill, of the Michigan Political Science association, yesterday afternoon, officiating as chairman at the joint meeting of the Political Science association and the State Farmers' Roundup institute, scored the sugar trust and denounced Havemeyer.

Prof. H. C. Adams, in the course of an address on higher education, said.

"It is of utmost importance that every effort be put forth toward the demolition of the caste feeling between the rich and the poor. One for all and all for one should be our watchword."

Prof. C. H. Cooley, of the University of Michigan, talking of the shifting of rural population, said:

All counties in the four lower tiers had decrease in rural population in the last decade, except Allegan, Berrien and Wayne; all above these have increased in rural population except Montcalm. The reason for the lack of decrease in Allegan, Berrien and Wayne and Ottawa is extensive agriculture. The decrease in the other counties is due to economic changes, improved methods of agriculture, etc."

The movement toward cities is likely to cease, according to Prof. Cooley's predictions. It is already slowing up. He advocated rural high schools. The sessions continue till Friday morning.
