Dodging Their Debts

1t is stated on good authority that the 1903 graduating
class at the State university of Iowa left printing bill of
$500 unpaid And that the printers will sue the members
of the class individually.
What?
The fact aside that the printers entitled to their
the bringing Of the suit will force to the front far
reaching question of commercial honor connected with
education
The strongest plea against education by the state is
that it fails along the line of ethics.
And this weakness of public education is admitted by
the teachers Themselves Note the resolutions passed last
month by the National Educational association. In these
resolutions the end and aim of education held to be the
making character and the fact is depored that public ed
ucation is weak in this respect
Moreover:
From every sincere the plea for the rails
ing of the standards of American business ifethe sub
suon of high ideals for the push and pull of selfish de-
sire. Everywhere is manifest weakening of moral fibre
shading of principles, so it is said
How, pray is the coming generation to get higher
view of life when begins by lodging its honest debts?
The college authorities ought to have refused these
young people their diplomas until the money paid.
The way begin raising the standards of business and
professional life is begin And the place to begin is at
the beginning.
1t is be hoped that the printers will push the colec
tions in the courts.
Make these boys and girls begin life right.
The lesson is needed.
