Student Labor Fund.

The Agricultural and Mechan.
sical College of Texas has q fund
known as the Student LABOR Fund
appropriated by the Legislature
for aiding worthy young men in
their efforts to get a college edu-
cation.
a limited number of students
who have no other means of pay
ing their college expenses, are
allowed to earn as much as $50 a
month from this fund, provided
they can do this without inter-
fering with their regular college
work. 1t is rarely advisable for
a young man to attempt to earn
more than S. or SO a month dur
ing his first year at college;
The price paid for ordinary
student labor is II 1-2 cents an
hour and for skilled labor as
much as muchas % cents is paid,
A large number of students are
now earning money by doing war;
ious kinds of work on the campus,
such as assisting in the laundry,
firing boilers, doing stenographic
work, etc. Most of this work is
done in the afternoon, at night
and in the early morning. Elk
cept in extraordinary cases, stu
dents are not employed under
the student labor system between
the hours of 8 a. m. and II m.
On entering the college a stu
dent should have a much as 500
to 1925. This amount will pay
the actual expenses of the first
term.
Men who are otherwise able to
pay their college expenses are
not entitled to the benefits of the
student labor fund.
