DISLIKE STUDENT WHO WORKS
Modern Colleges Have No Use for the
Youth Who 10 SeIf-Sup-
porting.

Formerly a student who worked his
way through college anywhere was re-
garded with approval. even heroized.
Now he meets with condemnation on
both sides; from his associates in his
work because he is willing to do any
thing and do 1t cheap. and from his
associates in his study because he
lowers the tone of the college and
does not contribute to its athletics
and social display
Many of our colleges were started
with the idea that students should
support themselves. at least in part,
by labor for the college. such as put
ting up the buildings. working on the
farm. etc. But as the institutions have
grown In numbers and wealth this
plan has been abandoned. in most
cases completely. and to-day we are
further from 1t than ever and heading
In the opposite direction. says a writer
in the Independent.
IL student builds brick wall
nowadays, to learn how, he Is made
to tear 1t down again. That is. even
In so-called industrial schools he is
not allowed to work. but compelled to
play at working. 1t is no wonder that
some of our most clear-sighted and
selfrespecting young men desert our
colleges every year through sheer dis
gust. The artificiality of 1t makes
them tired.
II Is idle to deplore the increasing
pretominance Of the leisure class In
our colleges when we are by force OF
Law and public opinion compelling col
lege students. as we have convicts. to
become a leisure class. I see only
two movements which might counter
act the prevailing tendency to make
higher education increasingly expen-
sive and parasitic.
One is the plan Of the University Of
Cincinnati. by which engineering stu
dents work alternately two weeks In
the shops. The other way is to bring
higher education TO the people who
are at work by some form of univer-
sity extension.
