at this particular season OF the year.
No one ordinarily takes the hobo
convention seriously. Participants
and spectators alike see only the
humorous side. The life of the hobo
as pictured only in its happy go-lucky
care-free. funny style. is presented
The hobo question is in reality a seri-
Gus sociological and economic prob
lem. 1t is one that presents factors
unknown to persons who have never
belonged to the vast army of the un-
employed who wander over the coun-
try.
An opportunity to hear the more
serious side of the problem from
man who has made a particular and
peculiar study of the problem is to
be given the students when James
Eads How lectures here. 1t is a
credit to those who have charge of
the arrangements that they have taken
a serious subject seriously and it is
to be hoped that students who see
only pleasure in hobo life will learn
something of its real nature.
