DEDICATED TO THE MANAGEMENT
The night was cold and rainy. The street lights were darkened. It was nearly ten o’clock.
"Oh! John. Where are we? It is so dark. Do yon know where we are, dear?”
"We ought to be near the ‘hill* by now. We must find It soon for it is
nearly time for the dorm to close".
The two rode awhile In silence. The cold rain beat against the wind-shieldd and kept the two huddled close together for warmth. The car left the pavement and went sputtering along a winding tree clad road.
"Where are we, John dear?"
Just then the car was given a tremendous Jolt. The engine seemed to leap Into the air and fall shivering and quivering to the earth. The lights of the car flickered—then, went out. A spray of water came In on them. The car lunged forward, waivered as if in fright, and came to a silent stop.
John breathed heavily. "Thank goodness, dear. I know where we are now—we just crossed that sidewalk In front of the ‘Ad* building'—we are home at last, dear”.
COLLEGE THE WAY TO WEALTH
If the average American college student today can learn in his classes how to pull teeth, win a law case or draw plans for a house, he is not at-all
Interested In the prime purpose of the college, that of liberal education.
The diversions which make up college life are partly the carefree risking* of the traditional lamb, but they are increasingly the training school for future Babbitts- It Is through them that the ambitious and sagacious young man learns how to "mix", how to make "contacts” which will be useful later; learns, in short, what he was sent to college to learn, He Is not Interested any more than his father usually Is in education and Ideas, but he known even more surely' than his father that college in the place to gain social prestige and Influential friends. And his sister knows that It is worth while to spend a year at a college for women In order to be eligible for the alumnac club of her homo town. Everyone knows that the road to financial success does not load through the college library.
While business has attracted many men of genius, It has also, with entire impartiality, glided the straightened forhead of the fool, incomes of the illiterate in this country drive home the painful fact that education is A positive obstacle to financial success. That Is why our university alumni are utmost Invariably wealthy or well-to-do.
