In France and in Germany there Is much talk of the growth of "an intel lectual proletariat," of the oyersupply of college graduates and professional men, and the consequent inability of many of these to earn even a modest livelihood. There are those in the coun- tries named who seriously hold that the world is suffering from "too much education," and that not a few col leges and professional schools might well be closed and agricultural and in- dustrial schools substituted for them. The United States is still the land of opportunity. and while the average man in any profession advises young people to choose some other calling, and while 1t is notorious that many lawyers, physicians and engineers earn less than a skilled mechanic, we are in no immediate danger of an intellectual proletariat. Yet even with us the ques- ton of the relation of ability and edu- cation to income is a very interesting one. An anonymous writer for the Atlantic gives the results of little in- vestigation that he undertook some years ago to determine the chances of pecuniary success, in professional life, of men of exceptional gifts and attain ments. He took the 10 per cent who twenty years ago stood highest at grad uation of a large class of a leading university. He divided them into groups and obtained accurate informa- ton concerning their average incomes since. The first group consisted of pro fessors-heads and first assistants and though all the members of this group are well known to-day and have done good work as teachers and au- thors the average salary Is but S2,Ioo and the average amount earned outside (by writing) is but 5000.
