Chicago, June 9.-When the Illinois
senatorial vice and minimum wage
commission resumed it's quest of the
light on the relation of low wages to
vice today, Harry Pratt Judson, presi-
dent of the University of Chicago. was
called as a witness.
Most college graduates enter busi-
ness. the witness said, and were soon
thereafter financially able to marry.
And what becomes Of the girl grad
yates ?" asked Chairman O'Hara
Il am happy to say that most of
them marry replied the educator.
He said that school and college
courses should be shortened in order
to start young men and women on the
serious business Of life earlier. He de-
clared that high school studies should
be fewer in number and that these
should be studied more thoroughly.
Many of our young men work their
way through the university yolun-
tered Mr.. Jlldson, which costs them
from $500 to $500 a year"
O.Hara wanted to lsaow whether tbs
law should provide a ininiEnum wage
for minimum efficiency, in response
to which the witness arranged workers
into three classes, efficient. semi EFF
ficient and inefficient
Efficient men will earn more than
any law can provide said DR.. Judson.
They'll take care of themselves. For
the semi efficient we might provide in

He said in part:
