The Sixty Per Cent Student.

This is the season when young
folks minds turn not lightly to final
exams. Commencement day draws
near. Have, you passed." DO you
think you will fiunk?" These are COM
mon queries today. They pass from
lip to lip with more or less trepida-
ton. There are usually two kinds of
students In every class, the one who
has put in his hardest ticks to get the
most out of his books and the one
who done Just enough to make
grades" and get through. He Is the
so per cent student Sixty per cent
we will take as the minimum grade
for passing If he makes that and
barely gets through, he is content,
while TO do no better than that would
sorely disappoint the other student,
with hopes fixed on the 90 per cent,
or an even higher mark.
These so per cent and 80 per cent
people are to be found all through
life, outside as well as inside of the
school room and school days. They
are found in the shops and factories
and Offices. Here is a man who can
hold his job by doing certain
amount of work a day, a minimum
amount. His ambitions running no
higher than that particular Job, he
strives each day to do no more than
the minimum amount of work. He is
unwilling to let himself out, to do his
level best and to give his employer
all he can, because, he argues, what
is the use, do not get paid for it;
get paid only for a certain amount
and will do that and no more" He
is the so per cent. fellow. He man
ages to hold onto his Job. But the
time comes when place above him
must be filled. To whom does his
employer look for the man to fill It,
the 60 per cent fellow. or the 90 per
cent fellow, the one who was un-
willing to do more than the rules re-
quired, or the one who forgot the
minimum in his anxiety to reach the
maximum?
The school and college are but the
training stations for larger activities
in life. The young man or young
woman who forms the habit of sloth-
fulness there is very likely to practice
1t after he or she gets out. or course,
what is called a grade student" is
often not the one who gets most,
either out Of his education or his life
work, but certainly the one who does
get most is not the so per cent stu
dent, who exerts no effort to make
grades and is content to skim through
along the lines of least Resistance.
Omaha daily bee., 1911-06-11


The recent decisions: of the United
States supreme. court interpreting
the Sherman law prohibition Of com
binations in restraint Of. trade have
been widely discussed from various
viewpoints, but very little from the
side of labor In the Danbury Hat
case the court had ruled that a labor
union organized to promote the mu-
tual interests of its members could be
a combination in restraint of trade
coming within the limits of the Sher-
man law, and the fear that the Sher-
man law might be successfully in
voked against them has been behind
the efforts OF the labor leaders to have
1t amended so az to afford them ex-
press exemption.
The suggestions In the Standard Oil
decision, reinforced in the Tobacco
trust case, that the combinations out
lawed are only those which interfere
unreasonably with the free play Of
competition by resort to underhanded
schemes and unfair methods, must be
equally applicable to combinations of
labor, Although the court has held
that an illegal combination of laborers
is equally punishable under the, Sher-
man law with an illegal com bination of
capitalists OF employers, it can read
lily hold that'the' organization Of labor
