Heaven Will Protect The Working Boy Prospective students of the University of California who hope to work their way through col lege are being warned against en rolling unless they have sufficient funds to tide them over emergencies of unemployment. Difficulty in find ing work has forced many students to withdraw from tho southern in stitution during the past year. • The story is not alone that of California. It applies, without doubt, to practically every univer sity in the country. Increased en rollment has flooded tho colleges with more employment-seeking stu dents than there are jobs available. The inevitable result is, that many would-be students, some worthy and some unworthy, are denied the edu cational opportunities they seek. The working student, has been made the subject of a lot of piffle. It lias become part of the great American tradition to pay homage to the self-made man; the boy who rises to “the top” despite numerous handicaps. lie is tho subject for interviews, he is praised, ho is re vered and he is cheered. And that’s all that is ever done for him. His admirers will tell you that he will get more out of his college educa tion than the boy who lives on the family pay check, and if you sug gest to them that they lighten his burden of work, you will be told that such a course would rob the boy of a great educational advan tage. So the working student works I perhaps all night, sleeps half tho day, goes to classes the other half, and studies in between. Think of the glory that is his! All honor, indeed, to the student who is ambitious enough to work his way through the university. He ! probably is more serious of purpose than many of his fellow students, lint that doesn’t mean that he is getting all he should—or all that lie deserves—out of his university career. We do not mean to say that every working student is serious minded or even deserving of a college edu cation. Many, like numerous non workers, would do better by never coming to college. If relieved from the duty of bread-winning they would probably spend the extra time else where than in the pursuit of learn ing. llut the boy who has a pur pose (and there are many in this class') and wants to learn, knows that there is nothing but hokum in the glorification of the working student. The only way to learn is by the single hearted pursuit of learning. The working student may be better able to appreciate what opportunity he has. he may make the best of the time at .his disposal, but he cannot serve two masters at once and do a good job for both. The working student cannot have a sin gleness of purpose, and his extra endeavor, in spite of its possible sobering influence, robs him of the full benefits of a university course. Attendance at classes and prepara tion of assignments is not education. What about time to read more than the assignment, to digest what has been learned, to ponder, to think and to play? The admiring citizens could do far more for the man (provided, of course, that he is worthy) by mak ing it unnecessary for him to di vide his attention between seeking physical sustenance and mental, than by honoring his determination. How much better is the educa tional system of Czechoslovakia which subsidizes worthy students who need financial support. The universal income tax system makes available to the educational author- | ities information concerning the j economic status of each family. On the basis of the family’s financial standing, fees and scholarships are regulated. Without any ado, the student in the gymnasium or the university finds his fees already de termined. If his family is poor, he is supported by the state and is left free to devote himself to the task of education—a task that con sumes more time and energy than one can ever give it. This is part of an ideal of sec ondary education for all. It applies to all students in the secondary schools and the universities. This does not have any relation ’to mass education. The strenuous education al program in the secondary schools means that only the worthy can sur vive the gymnasia, and only the worthy are therefore subsidized, if support is necessary. Education for all is no less an ideal in America than it is in Czecho-Slovakia. America is pro portionately far wealthier than this progressive European state. Yet where Czecho-Slovakia proceeds to make its ideal somoTTiing more than a topic for braggarts, America chooses to throw all her youth into the educational melting pot and let them get along as best they can. Under such circumstances subsidiza tion would take on gigantic aspects. Yet educational subsidies might be of more ultimate good to the nation than ship subsidies and similar forms of paternalism. The present American attitude of penuriousness toward the colleges and universities precludes any like lihood of the adoption of student subsidy programs. The “everybody welcome” and “bigger and bigger” manias are largely responsible for this. Surely there is no reason why the goats should be sent along with the sheep. Hut has there ever been a time when the citizenry showed it self not only willing but desirous of assuming such a burden? Oh no! The glory would| fall away and the sawdust “self-made man” tradition die if the working student were freed of his job. And it's much more pleasant to talk of tin1 sterling qualities of the man than to give him the assistance these qualities merit. Let Vs Stop Breathing A LARGE proportion of our more -^A-eonservati vo citizenry lias been wont to mourn publicly over the evils of the rapidly growing rate of increase in infant sophistication. Hut they are wrong to do so. No less person than Herman \V. Nelson, heating and ventilating expert of Chicago, has proved it. In a re cently printed news item ho de clared that dollars totalling no less than $-1,000,000 would be saved an nually by the abolishment of the eighth grade alone. My, my! Wliat a wonderful chance for thrift. Just think what a nice lot of battleships and airplanes the money could buy. Perusal of Mr. Nelson’s figures suggests a number of intriguing pos sibilities. Is there, we ask, any le gitimate reason for stopping with the eighth grade? Why not save $108,000,000 or even $252,000,000? So long as we learn such funda mentals as reading, typing and run ning an adding machine, why bother about anything more? Heating and ventilating experts, and indeed, all other educational authorities must be overjoyed at the telescopic tendencies of our nation til school and college system. With what pleasure they must have noted the large saving to be made at Stan ford university when that institu tion does away with its freshman and sophomore classes. Tt is so sel dom that improved teaching meth ods involve not an increase but an actual saving in expenditure. May be just a little argument would con vince them that school is a needless extravagance, so why bother to heat or ventilate at all* Hut somebody would probably queer the works with the sugges tion that, after all, hot air is rath er cheap just now.—H. A.

The accent, I suspect, was strong ly on the ultimate “cuss.” SPRING DITTY At the slightest sign of spring I become a crazy thing, First I climb The highest mountain, Then fish for trout In the Senior Fountain, And keep tho house mothers Mos% ill at ease By wearing swimming Suits to teas. Harvard Man: “Oh I say, Mon trose, and did you know that a rich alumnus died only yesterday leav ing his dear old alma mater a gift of a million?” „ Princeton Man: “Oh really, that is not so much, though. An alum nus of ours died leaving two million only this morning.” (Saying this the Princeton man turned his head'and the Harvard Man was seen dropping two small white objects in the unsuspecting soul’s coffee.

CUT KILLS YOUTH AS DOCTORS FAIL (Oregon Daily Journal) Eugene doctors would never fail in such a crisis. • • • We’ll have to hand it to an ad vertiser in the Oakland, California, Tribune for his frankness.

Hayward field could bo the scene of a parade similar to the Rose Festival of Portland, and the pag eant Klatawa held on the field last summer during the Trail-to-Rail celebration. The field could be divided with a suitable background, though not so extensive as the Klatawa scen ery. and automobiles could be used for the floats. I believe every house on the cam pus could borrow or rent a machine for the night—if they haven’t one. two or half a dozen already.
