COST OF MODERN EDUCATION.
Increase In Tuition Charges Greatly
to Be Deplored.

Increase In Tuition Charges Greatly
to Be Deplored.
The tendency toward higher prices,
even for education, is illustrated
again by the announcement that Vas
sar college has raised its rates Since
1866 a girls absolutely necessary ex-
penses at Vassar have been $500 a
year. Now they go up to $500. In
stitutions of learning, like enterprises
Of any other sort, can not live beyond
their incomes for very long at time.
Since their running expenses are more
than they used to be, and since they
must be constantly extending their
courses and improving their facilities,
they must get more money from some
where. The unfortunate feature Of
the situation is that increased tuition
charges make it very hard for young
men and women in moderate circum.
stances to pay the market price for
tseir education. The advance in rates
makes 1t all the more important to be-
stow scholarships with liberal hand.

because he is poor is fulfilling Its mis-
