men should not pay more than half
the cost of their education, especially

THE POOR PROFESSOR.

The college professor is in state
of unrest, bordering on a general
strike in the profession. In almost
every other occupation wages have
risen to meet the demands of pros
perity But in most cases the college
professor is earning no more to-day
than thirty years ago. Naturally, he
is finding it harder and harder to
keep the wolf from the door, to dress
his wife respectfully, and give his
children the same advantages a good
mechanic can provide for his off
spring. One reason-not the only
one-that the professors do not form
union, appoint walking delegates,
and go after the trustees of colleges
with lead pipe is probably because
every pedagogue is aware that doz-
en- younger men are hungrily waiting
to snap up his job.
Either the college professor must
give up the habit of marrying and
rearing children, or he must find a
way to get more money. And yet the
colleges are receiving new requests
all the time. The last ten years have
seen millions showered upon them.
Why is it, then, that the poor pro-
fessor has not come in for some of
this prosperity? One reason is that
it costs about twice as much to edit
cate a student at one of our universe
ties as he pays in tuition. The bal
ance has to be met from the income
of endowment, and every additional
student is an additional burden on
that endowment. And our college
presidents are as ambitious set of
officials as life-insurance presidents.
Many of them want more .udents, no
matter what it costs to get them, and
they want to expand their facilities"
no matter what salaries they are pay
ing
The college professor should get
after his president and see that the
money is not squandered on new
work; and he should force the trus
tees to put up the price of tuition.
There is no reason why our young
