DR.. Sprague, register of New York Uni
versity, said that Z comparatively sflall
number of students in that INSTITUTION Hau
tn take hotel places At City Collese II
was said that most of the students III 'hdl
institution were residents of New YORK city
and. having friends and business connec-
tions here, were able to obtain employmeh'
in the city during the vacation
From the smaller New England colleges
however, hundreds of students go to the
| beaches each summer. Many New Englanu
hotels, especially on the Maine coast nave
only students in their summer dining room
service They draw these not only from
the Maine colleges-Bates, Maine state COL
leee and. to a smaller degree, from Bow
doin-but from the colleges of Massachu-
sets and New Hampshire. In these col
Ieges in small towns opportunities for local
EMPLOYMENT in the summer are few ana
the students who feel compelled to work
during the summer months are obllsed 10
fall back on hotel situations
A very observing young college woman
from Bates College, daughter OF a haptist
clergyman with a large family 10 support
remarked at the close of last season: VI
course, it is hateful beyond words 10 nave
TO take tip. but it would surprise you TO
see how the girls who have oeeh at tHe
hotel for several seasons feel ABOUT II.
They seem so delighted if any one gives
them a big tip! They show 1t TO all the
other girls and you hear such REMARKS d.
Oh I take all that's coming 10 me- OF IL
take all l can get Sometimes they sPecu-
late on how much this or that guest VIII
give them at the end of the week or the
month l dare say 1 should get 10 leel Ihe
same way after another year
.'As for the chambermaids who are col
,epe girls in this hotel. have actually seen
some of them hang around guests as they
were leaving the hotel, meaning evidently
to remind the guests that UP was eA-
pected. 7 think the college girls are worse
in this respect than most professional wait
ers and chambermaids. So much depends
on their summer earnings that it is great
termination to be over-obsequlous'
Rrt If the tipping system is open to the
;raic+r,ent brought against 1t by Professor
SibIev and testified to by the clergyman
