PAYING FOR AN EDUCATION.
----
Ono Columbia student Who Turned "a
PrOrt Everything. Including Football.

A report Of the committee on employ
ment for students at Columbia, recently
issued, tells Of some typical cases OF men
who have earned their way through the
university.
-One such refreshing case says the
report, was that Of a student recently
graduated from the Law School. When
he first registered at the university he
had but 500 in his possession. The fees
for the first term amounted to ss7.
His first employment was that of waiter
in a student boarding house. in return for
which he received his board. As he was
physically strong he loon found work az
helper on a furniture van for Saturday
mornings at the rate Of 81 a week. He
was thus assured Of his room and board.
Through industry, perseverance, and
optimism he succeeded in getting various
odd jobs netting a dollar or two each. His
athletic proclivities and the wholesomeness
Of his nature made him a most desirable
person for the evening recreation work OF
the Board Of Education.
"A position OF assistant teacher at one
of the centres brought him in 50 a week
His fitness for the work was soon recog-
nized and al the next examination he

necessity this student was under TO earn
his expenses did not in any way interfere
with his popularity in the school. as is evil
denoed by the fact Of his election to the
presidency OF his class."

OF the committee. X. A. Meyers. left out
