widespread building strike. Recently
the master carpenters association an
nounced that wages of carpenters
would be reduced from SIS to $3.50 a
day The carpenters union has re-
fused to accept this cut in wages and
committees from both organizations
are now trying to reach compromise.
In case the master carpenters insist
on the reduction it is likely that the
l9, 900 members of the union will strike.
Other building trades unions are
awaiting the outcome of the confer
ences between the carpenters and
employers. In case the carpenters
strike comes it is said to be more than
likely that similar strikes will follow
lin practically all other building trades.

THE BOY AND COLLEGE.

At this season Of the year, short
time before the schools and colleges of
the land open for their years work,
there is many a boy who is debating
the question as to whether It viii be
worth while for him to SO to college.
No wonder that he scratches his head,
for the problem Is not an entirely sim
pie one, several factors entering In
and serving to make an affirmative or
negative decision the wiser one. In a
general way it is true that there is
probably no money that young man
spends that fetches him a larger or
more satisfactory return on the amount
invested than that put into getting an
education, and this holds whether 1t is
along the line Of the professions, lib
eral arts, along technical lines or in
specialization in animal husbandry, ag-
riculture or horticulture. The returns
may not be apparent at once, but the
increased capacity which the educa
ton gives will mean an increased sal
airy as soon as he becomes adjusted in
the work for which he has prepared
himself. There is never supplied de-
mand these days for young men Of
worth and character who are well
equipped along the lines mentioned
In view Of the opportunities which are
open, the chief questions to be deter
mined would seem, therefore, to be
those Immediately affecting the boy.
1t Is probably fair to say that it will
pay the boy to go to college and will
be worth the trouble on the part Of the
parents to send him If he cares enough
for the opportunities which college life
affords to work for them. II be does
not prize them to this extent this on
the assumption that the entire means
are not at hand to defray the expenses
Of such a course-he would probably
do better to stay at home.
There will be hours in the college
life Of the lad who is working his way
through school when 1t will be very
trying for him to be moving lawns,
bucking wood or doing other work In
his spare hours when his fellow stu
dents are participating In athletic
sports or otherwise spending their
time In recreation. But this handicap
is more apparent than real, Its harsh
ness mellowing or largely disappear.
Ing as college days recede. In conclu.
sion, it is pertinent to suggest that
the financial is not the only point that
should be considered. The college
trained man may or may not acquire
great wealth, but II his training is
what 1t ought to be 1t will enable
him to get more out Of life and put
more into it for others, as well as
make him more influential and capable
as man and citizen.
