THE OUTLOOK or THE COLLEGES.

We called attention 10 the fact n few days
ago that the leading colleges and universities
are openlng This fall with materially In
creased attendance Of students. Each subse-
uuent dav has brought. In further testimony TO
the same effect from the smaller as well rs
from the great seats Of learning From all
parts Of the country the report Is the same.
This week and next will see practically all the
colleges at work for another year. with by far
the largest total attendance in the history Of the
country and with the same condition prevailing
In every Individual case not affected to the con-
trary by purely local and temporary influences.
The meaning OF 1t is twofold. or perhaps three
fold, In major significance. Obviously it indl-
Gates material prosperity throughout the land
There are some rich young men in college, 10
whom hard times and good times are matters OF
no practical moment. But the vast ajorty are
not so rich as that, and large proportion
are either actually poor or In circumstances so
moderate as TO be seriously affected by the ups
and downs Of business. Times OF business de
preston have invariably been marked with de-
creased or stationary attendance M college. A
large increase Of such attendance may be taken
as a sure sgn Of business prosperity
Again, the fact indicates that what Is called,
sometimes with an accent Of undcserved con
tempt, the higher culture Is still in favor and In
increasing favor with the American public. The
question whether n college education Is desira-
bic for business man or n man Of action" Is
being answered by the young men Of America.
Year by year they seeking such education In
increasing numbers, and year by year they are
