COLLEGE DEGREES
By Ebert HUBBARD.

NO LONG as some men who are not
college bred take first place on
the roster of fame, and other
men who are college bred, working
alongside of them, sink out of sight
most thinking men are quite willing
to admit the so-called higher edu-
cation IS not a necessity.
OF the college men who succeed, who
shall say they succeeded by and
through the aid the college gave, or in
spite of it?
Yet many men who win will wall,
If I only had the advantage of college
trainingr
II so. it might have ironed all the
individuality out of them
However, I would have every man
have a college education in order that
he might see how little the thing is
really worth 1 would have every man
rich that he might know the worth
lessness of riches.
To take a young man away from
work. say at Is years of age, and keep
him from useful labor, in the name of
education, for four years, will some
day be regarded as most absurd
proposition. It is the most gigantic
illusion of the age. Set in motion by
young person should be drilled and
Versed in sacred" themes.
Hence the dead languages and the
fixed thought that education should
be esoteric-
This separation from the practical
world for a number of years where no
useful work was done and the whole
attention fixed on abstract themes and
theories, often tended to cripple the
man so that he could never go back
to the world OF work and usefulness.
He was no longer a producer, and had
10 be supported by tithes and taxes.
And, of course, as he did not intend
TO go back to the world of work and
usefulness, it really didn't make any
difference If he did sink into a pupa-
like condition of nullity.
In the smaller colleges many instan-
ces are found OF students working their
way through school, Ny experience
leads me TO believe that such stu
dents stand a very much better chance
in the worlds race than those who are
made exempt from practical affairs
by having everything provided The
responsibility of caring for himself is
a necessary factor in mans evolution.
And the point of this preachment lies
right here-that to make a young man
exempt from the practical world, from
IS to p, is to run the risk OF running
him for life. Possibly you have taken
opportunity from him and turned him
into Z memory machine
There are persons who are always
talking about preparing for life The
best way to prepare for life is to be-
sin 70 live
a school should not be preparation;
3 school should be life.
Isolation from the world in order to
prepare for the worlds work is folly
You might az well take a boy out of
the blacksmith shop in order to teach
him blacksmithing.
ANY college that does not teach its
pupils to work at practical, useful
tasks, is make-believe, and every col

Monterey. Mexico, Sept 3.-Alonterey
housewives will have gas in their
homes by the first of November, &C
cording to a statement just made by
Mr. Aldrich, general manager of the
gas plant which is being installed

company by the government limits the
company to Oct. 81, and gas must be
in use by that date or they will lose
the concession.
The gas company has shown great
activity within the past few weeks

the city has pipes already laid. Many
homes are now being installed with
modern apparatus and in the near fu-
ture Monterey will rank with other

While the speaker arraigned the

nouncing his position with respect
to trusts as a menace to the cOun-
try and fore runner of disaster, his
auditors listened with breathless in
terest Roosevelt, he declared, built
up and fcstered more trusts during
lis administration than could have
cen imagined and now he proposes
D divide the good and bad trusts
and control them. Control them
as he says. by a commission whose
power, according to his declaration
would set aside all the criminal laws
of the country and let guilty mel
escape" Mr.. Williams pointed out
fully the dangers of commission
to control trusts and the disastrous
consequences of Roosevelt's plan to
place these trusts in the hands of q
receiver, the government to be re.
ceiver; mountainous job, which
would lead the country into no end
of law suits.
The Morgan interests
After going very fully into an ex-
PLANTATION of the trust problem which
would confront the government un-
der Roosevelt, Mr.. Williams referred
to Perkins. one of the Morgan syn
dictate and the Morgan contribution
of over half a million dollars to the
Roosevelt campaign and pointed out
what an insignificant sum 1t was to
the millions that were cleaned up
through the acquisition of the Ten
nessee coal and iron mines and 9TH
er deals which were carried through
by either hoodwinking Roosevelt in
to tacit agreement or with his full
knowledge.
Menace to American Liberty
"Roosevelt's entire platform and
his entire program" Williams declar-
ed, lis a menace to the right of the
American people. 1t is the line Of
demarkaton as to whether this gov
eminent should be one of law or one
of men. Under Roosevelt's proposed
third term policy, it would be easy
for him to dictate every policy and
to give the President unlimited pow
er and life tenure of Office"
