A COMMONPLACE PROBLEM.

In other words. earning an education Is about
the same as earning living. Each man Will
fall into the line that suits him or. II he ism I
of the self-supporting sort, he'll fall out The
college breadwinner will find by later expert
cnce if he hasn't found il before, that his field
is simply a rnicrocosm of the great world out
side where the query is only, can a man make
good?
OF course, there are two classes OF students
who must work while they study. one class
receives from home a subsidy. These usually
rely on commissions from boarding houses or
clubs from laundries and the helping hand
of scholarships to tide them over the deep
places The freshman who has 10 provide Tor
his entire support while in college must have re-
course TO more profitable and permanent aVoca-
tions.

his clothes. with four years Of college ahead OF
him and with a strong desire for decently com

MODERN INSTANCES.

MODERN lNSIANCEs7-
A few instances from the writer's own ex-
perience and from that of his friends while at
a certain we'll known university are offered as
practical solutions OF the problem that is con-
fronting the self helpful" freshmen OF the coun-
try.
Take the case OF the who arrived with
liking for study and the knowledge that woPk
didn't like him. This man became a newspaper
correspondent Also, he contributed dramatic
.criticism' 10 some of the local papers. Alio-
ecther II helped a great deal.

football player who. under the rules. was not
able TO make the eleven" in his first year at
the professional school he attended at the same
university He was introduced To a lady IN re-

the boarding house keeper the graft OF the
football player for a free meal account was alb

CLERKED IN A SHOE STORE.

He did not despair however. Within week
he was acting clerk in a shoe store that was
selling out After that he worked in a cloth
ing store and received not only salary but also
some clothing that specially fitted to ms
figure He proved to be a better advertise
ment than the lay figures in the window; and
of course his working hours were confined 10
those nights that the store was open ana 10
those afternoons that he had no lectures or reel
tations But the football mans story ended
well in that he was eligible the next year and
lived happily at the training table, If not ever
afterward at least as long was necessary.
OF course everybody can't be an athlete or
scholarship winner Neither can all students
send ont news stories. But there was, as a case
in point the freshman who arrived at the uni
yersity with enough money for his first term
no prospects Of anything further and no shining
ability How did he fill the void in his financial
outlook?
LAUNDRY SERVICE WAS POOR.
In the first vacation. which came at Christ
mas he was not able to go to his far
awsx home Thus he idled around the uniVer-
sitv town and kept his eyes open. one day II
occurred 10 him that the laundry service at the
COLLEGE was poor. 1t seemed to him that II
clothes were bound to be mixed IN the wash
