On the economic side it would therefore appear that millions of dollars nre being wasted annually in forcing on college students an education which they are unable to assimilate.

Town Pride Tljere Is in many towns a conflict between people whose first , thought is to make money, and those whose first thought is to make an attractive town. The first named people are constantly seeing chances to make money through some kind of development enterprise. If such promoters lack good taste, they are apt to cut up real estate in an undesirable way, or erect flimsy looking dwell ings, put up unsuitable business buildings or erect them in places where they injure the looks of the town. They may sincerely he . lieve their projects help the town grow and are commendable. ' These people aie apt to show enteipiise, and if they only had . more sense of fitness and taste, they would do a lot of good.

They learn that the average run of people take pride in their community, and want it made attractive and beautiful. They realize that unless their developments are in keeping with the standards desired, their i o- (nt!ei prises will get in bad. They find that if they put up ugly houses, people are slow to buy or rent them, and if they civet unattractive stores in uusuiN - able places, people may not patronize them.
