Tulane and its Educational Work.


versity of the city Of New Orleans
offers to the young men OF Louisiana
appeared In the Natchitoches Enter
prise of last week. The Information
it contains is brought out by an in
terview with Hon. d. c. Scarborough.
and It is of so much Importance that
we reproduce 1t, as follows:
Mr.. d. C. Scarborough, who IA a
member of the Board OF Administra.
tors of Tulane University. and who
also served as member of the Visit
ing Committee this year, which COM
mittee is charged with the duty Of
making annual Inspections OF the Uni-
versity In Its various departments, has
Just returned from the inspection for
this year. Mr.. Scarborough, when
asked what he thought of the work
of the University, said: THAT the
University is doing a splendid work,
and that the far reaching benefits OF
its work is just beginning to be fully
realized by our people. The very high
course which IL university course
In the proper acceptatiOu OF the term,
makes the course the most thorough
one to he had In any Of the institu-
tions of the State. The man who
comes out Of Tulane with a certif-
cate Of graduation carries with him
| a certificate Of thorough scholastic
| training"
Mr.. Scarborough thinks that It will
sOOn come to be recognized that for
thOroughness In educational matters
| Tulane will easily be accorded the
lead. He further.said that In many
| lines of instruction no other institu-
| ton can compare with Tulane, and
| he specially wanted to invite the at
! tentiOn of the young men OF the
country to some phases OF the Tu-
lane educational course that many OF
| the youths are losing, as he thinks,
from the failure to fully appreciate
what the are. He recognizes that
| the young men living In the city Of
New Orleans are keenly alive to these
advantages. and as a result In these
lines you will find the class rooms full
| to overfiowing with young men from
| the city of New Orleans, but few
Young men from out of the city limits
are getting any of these benefits.
"The departments of chemical. me
chanical and electrical Engineering are
some I'm which this Is very noticeable.
| While we have a flood of lawyers and
doctors, many of whom have neither
clients nor patients, the graduates
from these three departments cannot
begin to ill the demand. The busi-
ness men OF the country have come
to know that u they want a thor
oughly competent man In any OF
these departments, graduates from
Tulane can be depended on implicitly;
with the result that as fast as seri-
Gus and well balanced young man
steps out of the University with his
certificate of graduation he Is called
away to fill some responsible posi-
tiOn at a good salary, ranging from
one thousand to five thousand dol
lars per year; aud the demand for
young men with this university train
ing in these special lines is growing
more rapidly than the supply, with
the result that salaries are constant.
, ly Increasing. and the supply con.
stantly growing more difficult OF at.
tainment."
There seems to be an impression
that the educational advantages Ol
Tulane ,are beyond the reach OF the
average young man from hecOuntry
. districts. This Ia q mistake. 1t Il
true 1t is somewhat higher than thu
ordinary literary course to be had In
the institutions maintained by Stat
. patronage. but then In the depart
ments mentioned the State IL MOI

r instruction on 80 thorough line a.

"The general impression that boar
costs from $50 to $40 per month !
: all wrong. We have comfortably
dormitories which can supply youni

a the small cost of about $l5 pc
month. This Is within the reach O
every one. These dOrmitories are OF
