the efficiency and amiabflity with which
he performs his duties may in some cases
induce him to assume an attitude of SER
Witty, and while the college code Of ethics
teaches that it is in every way honorable
to serve, il decries servility as far from
betting an educated man.
In spite of the fact that it Is very much
the fashion among free born" Americans
to decry the tipping system, it Is only
the Tooth man who will not hand out a
tip whenever he is able TO afford It and
when his comfort can be enhanced thereby
It is a very pretty theory to say that the
system should be abolished, but so firmly
is il intrenched in American hotel and
travelling service that for the summer
waiter TO attempt to buck it would be
pure folly. A few hotel arrangements have
made an effort to discredit the system,
but unless ne is in one of these the col
Iege waiter might as well do as the Romans
or else pack his grip and fade away from
that hotel
The college man who becomes a hotel
waiter has to practise various forms of
politeness in conformity with his position
He must be very deferential when he says,
YES. sir or Very well, madam" if he
wishes to make sure of future tips; he
must stoop with seeming pleasure to pick
up anything that is dropped by one of his
patrons. He may not use the same bathing
beach that the hotel guests use. He may
not even battle at the same hours on a re-
mote part of the beach.
But all this polteness is not Of the stamp
which one gentleman is expected to prac-
fise toward another; ii is not of the sort
that exists between social equals. and to a
man whose college ideals and training teach
him TO look with level glance on all other
men can this training in servility be in any
degree helpful in the great cultural work
which il is the mission of the college to
perform?
IF the walters work were taken out of
the Timing system. and if 1t could be done
without the constant atmosphere of menial-
fly which now hangs around IT, then the
college man could engage in il without
loss of self-respect If he attempts to treat
the guests in the hotel on "A level of social
eouaI{ty he is quickly given to understand
hv the mana cement that he must learn to
keep his place
DO some other kind OF summer work
rather than be a waiter, is the wholesome
advice of Professor Sibley.
For various reasons. students from the
New York colleges are ehBdeed III Holel
work TO a smaller degree than these from
colleges in other sections. New York offers
so many commercial openings during the
summer to notwithstanding which pay as
well-that a comparatively small number or
the New York students go into MOTEL SER
vice.
The statistics of the committee on en-
plovment for students which is maintained
at Columbia University show that about
one hundred students register each year for
hotel work. Secretary Paul {. II, Hotter
If the committee says that he mas more
calls for student walters from summer
hotels than he can fiji. and that many OF
the men who register for such work ma

Smaller than the large army of can

are the demoraIizing influences that touch
these working students in summer?
At the recent graduation exercises OF
Lake Forest University Professor Robert
p. Sfblev. in his address of farewell TO the
senior class, sounded a note OF warning 10
college students who are obliged 10 earn
money during the summer vacation Pro-
fessor Sibley made an earnest plea that
the students of Lake Forest should not
take positions which are governed by the
Tipping system, because, he SAID thlS
system engenders in its beneficiarles the
spirit of graft
THE reason there Is so much pflpery
and graft going on to-day, declared the
professor, lis because workers expect NOR

If a Young man is brought I'D to do as

Professor SibIey has voiced the sentl-

The minister read this and asked the
young man what he could do for him

about this book and then sign a statement
for me, so that can get back home
The clergyman. who was glad to do a
good turn TO fellow man, listened 10 the
description of the canvasser's work. In
the course OF this the young man said that
the price was 500 and that he had heard
persons offer $50 and sos in the home Office
but that nothing less than 500 would be
considered
.'Now." he continued suppose you make

finally twenty-one soft-hearted sons OF
Calais had each signed an offer OF 500 ana

about ten days along came twenty one sets

eraI tournaments for handsome prizes are
planned and one was started to-day on the
courts of the Edgemere Club. What 1t
means to sojourn at a hotel directly on
the ocean was appreciated by the wtlted
New Workers who came to the Edgemere
Club over the Fourth for relief from the
oppressive heat of the city. From the WIN
dovs of the hotel the view gives one the
impression of being on an ocean liner, with
all it's comforts and none of its discomforts-
The surf comes crashing and roaring over
the buIkhead in front of the hotel, throwing
a spray high into the air, and ocean
breezes make of the spacious porches
places of delight.
