The recent estimate of a labor mufcar.ino, giving the oiumher of un enployed persons in the United Mates as 2,.'12.r,(tflu, la not ao di-roug-nglng as It may look at first glance. It nysy he, as the compiler says, that It represents the largest numtler of Idle workers thercchave been in thit country since 11)07. It Is to ! iu niembercd, however, that the ppula- tion is larger than it was 13 years ago, and tho industrial population is Overy much largrr .. It Isothe propor tion that counts. c : The ccneiis of 11)10 ajiowcd more than 88,000,000 people engngeil in gainful occupations, 110,000,000 male .,! h 07.'. nan fcnmle. Tho u-overn- mlait in 1017, iii connection with theJ ofirat selective . draft, estimate! the workers at more than 48,000,000. The Population has kept on growing, and Tn addition women have gone into in dustry lately to an unprecedented ex tent. The total number of workers, now is .wmcwhere between 50,(100,000 and 00,000,000 and probably nearer the latter figure than the former. eSo, if there are 2,325,000 "people out of work, it means one out of ev ery 25. That is unfortunate, but not at all catastrophic. "If one out of 10 were idleK'WC migllt worry, i This Is not ro very much wor.se thnn what Jahor stutisticions used to reck on as the "normal rate of'unemploy 3 moot" during the winter months. Moreover, this unemployment ac- 0tually sem to he decreasg rather than increasing. Many factories, ro ently closed, . have" been opening again. It is always the tendency, .rather than the momentary situation, those wfio strove to make them ap preciate their advantages that they were a rarely privileged clasit; Only one person out of 500 or liOO'got to college. . o This grent increase in the pntpor- tini of students i partly due to the amazing development of high Rchools. They have grown prodigiously and, nci'ordinft to Hie report cited, "a larg er proportion of high school titudents is going to college1 every year." There are critics who find many things wrong with tho colleges of to day itlld with the graduates they turn out. As a title, no ononis more wnre of the shortcomings of these educa tional institutions thnn their own fac ulties. It is 'quite certain th:it most of the collepien are making fvqry ef fovt to meet the real educatio'iffil needs' of the nation and to fit their stu dents to live and work and seryp. Tlioj have boen. genuinely handicap ped by lack of funds and by nlil the ories and tjwiftly changing ideals. In spite of its failures and defi ciencies, tho college eduenfion is re cognized as valuable. The great throngs of students seeking it are a guaranty that the eftlleges will learn to meet modern needs and, at the same tinie will carry ol the finest ideals and. traditions of true educa tion. , TENXKSRKR ttl.TV.
