When scores of boys and girls who are
attending schools and colleges at distant
places return to their homes for the holt
days an impression is created that
large percentage of the youth of the coun-
try are enjoying the benefits of higher ed
ucation. The statement is frequently
made that scarcity of labor may be at
tributed in many instances to the fact
that so many of the young men of the
country are securing collegiate educations.
and that they naturally look for more
remunerative employment than that of
mechanical labor. But unfortunately for
that statement statistics show that less
than three per cent of the youth of the
country are college graduates. In other
words. three out of every one hundred
actually complete a course of study in the
higher institutions of learning-3,0OO out
of 100 OOO-not enough to seriously anect
the labor market. On the contrary, 1T is
matter of regret that there is not a much
larger percentage who continue their
studies beyond the course offered by the
public schools. Thus far there has been
no indication that any line of business or
any profession is overcrowded with really
capable men In fact, there is a con-
slant and growing demand for men with
industry energy and capacity. For those
who possess these qualifications there is
always ample opportunity. So, for the
present there need be no fear that this
matter of higher education is being over
done
