SELF F-SUPPORTING STUDENTS.
Is It True That They Are Not Wei.
come or Popular?
From the Independent.


Formerly a student who worked mis-
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 anything and
do it 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 putting up the build
ings, working on farm. etc But as the
institutions have grown in numbers and
wealth this plan has been abandoned. in
most cases completely. and today we are
farther from il than ever and heading in
the opposite direction.
If q student builds q brick wall nova
DAYS to learn how, he is made to tear it
down again-that is, even in so-caled
industrial schools he is not allowed to
work, but compelled to play at working
1t is no wonder that some of our most
clear-sishted and self-respecting young
men desert our colleges every year
through sheer disgust. The artificiality
of it makes them tired.
II is idle to deploTc the increasing pre-
dominance of the leisure class in our coll
legcS when we arc by force OF law aud
public opinion compelling college students,
as We have convicts, TO become Il leisure
class. | see only two movements which
might counteract the prevailing tendency
to make higher education increasingly
expensive and parasitic.
One is the plan of the University o:
Cincinnati. by which engineering students
work alternately TWO weeks in the class
room and two weeks in the shops. The
other way is to bring higher education to
the people who are al work by some form
OF university extensions.

solitaire.
The game was discovered during Il
tedious afternoon on an extended sea trip,
and the fascination of the find caused
many of the succeeding hours to chase
each other into the past in rapid-tire
order.
The object of the game is to eliminate
all the cards in the pack but two, plac
ing them at one side, five cards at Il
time, in good poker hands. Only hands
that contain three of a kind or better
may be laid aside.
In other words, the player must secure
three of a kind. three Of a kind and a
pair. straight. a flush, a straight flush
or four of o kind.
He starts the ball rolling by dealing off,
one at q time, two hands of five cards each.
