THE COLLEGE MAN IN LIFE.

Does a college education pay?
In new countries a mans depend
e1ce is upon the powers born in him.
As population increases virgin oppor-
t;.nity becomes less, and competition
glows so fiedce that he who would
succeed must cultivate his native
powers to the uttermost.
One American in 80 is college
bred. But Sc per cent of our Con-
glessmen, 40 per cent Of our Sena-
tors. 20 per cent of our Presidents
ard SO per cent of our Supreme
j, dges have been college bred men.
One physician in twenty is a college
graduate per cent. Yet this ,
Fer cent furnishes 30 per cent of our
Successful doctors. Twenty-seven
out of sixty-eight railroad presidents
ale college graduates-nearly 40 per
cent. And only one man in $50 goes
to college.
The records show that college
education adds more than 200 per
cent to a mans earning power. No
arithmetic has yet been devised
which can estimate the per cent that
it adds to ones manliness. usefulness
and happiness.
Ignorance never has commanded
the same respect as learing; and
blind chance never will reap the rich
rewards of intelligent preparation.

THE Pulitzer GIFT.

The late Joseph Pulitzer left sew
cial million dollars for the advance
ntent of journalism. The love for
the profession in which he expended
al his strength and energy so COM
pletely mastered him that even in
his will it appears uppermOst. The
balk of his bequest goes for the
founding of a school of journalism
where the next generation may learn
with great ease what he learned with
II any knocks
journalism to Mr. Pulitzer was not
q means to an end. Ii was not some
thing by which to make a living. A
journalist to him was a missionary
The newspaper was his pulpit.
Through this he made his mission
known. His ideals were high.
He loved his work Most people
complain of theirs. His accumula-
tion of wealth was only incidental
His fidelity to his profession would
have remained as answering if for
tune had frowned on him. Riches
came only as a worldly reward for
his untiring labOrs. His liberal dis
pensation of it shows the insignii-
.ant part it played in his active life
He tried not only to maintain SUI
,erior press but also to perpetuate it
hence his generous bequest for the
advancement of journalism. He had
ennObling views of it. During his
ife he labOred necessarily for them
And when he died he planted them

THE FIRST YEARS TRIAL.

When news of the action of the
Missouri Valley Conference restrict
ing games to college gridirOns was
read in Missouri and Kansas. thous-
ands of the alumni of each of the
state universities saw the announce
nent with regret They have had
more than a year to think the mat
ter over and the first real trial of
the new plan is to take place Novem-
Der %. at Columbia.
Perhaps there has been a change
in sentiment within the past year.
Certainly. members of the alumni of
the two institutions are open to con-
Niction. The test. November %. will
prove to these that the new plan is
better than that of playing the an
nual game at Thanksgiving in Kan
sas City. or ii will convince them
that the restriction is unjust.

as a fixture by the alumni College

before the big game. The street car
systems of Kansas City were par
alyzed by the crowds. 1t was a big
day for the alumni and for Kansas
City. But was it for the Universe
ties? Some people thought not,
therefore the new rule. Will the
college gridirOn plan be an improve
n'ent?
1t won't take tremendously
large crowd to tax COlumbia's hotel
capacity. All who come must have a
place to sleep and something to eat.
That is one of the tests. 1t is for
the school. the students and the
townspeOple to meet. There is no
danger that COlumbia's street car
system will be paralyzed. But
We can proudly say that the walk

the Wabash and NJ. X. & I. rail-
reads handle the crowds properly?
That is another test.

tant one. is whethe- the alumni of
