istry. 1t is only Of recent years
that men with business careers
ahead of them have taken advan-
tage of college opportunities.
At Harvard the ministry yielded
the leadership to law after the
Revolutionary War, and law re-
rained the dominant profession of
Harvard graduates until 1880,
when business took the lead. At
Yale the ministry competed sue
cessfully with law until after the
middle Of the nineteenth century,
when law took the ascendency and
kept it until 1895, being then dis
placed by business. At the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania one-fourth
Of the graduates used to go into
the ministry; now about one-fif-
tieth do so. Oberlin College, foun-
ded with strong denominational
tendencies, shows the same story
of the decline in numbers of men
going into the ministry. At the
University of Michigan, out OF an
army Of over $4,000 graduates only
1873 have become ministers.
Aside from their contributions to
the clergy, most Of the universe
ties have had favorite professions.
At Columbia, Dartmouth, and
Michigan for instance, it is law; at
Pennsylvania it is medicine; at
Oberlin, Wisconsin and many
others, particularly the co-educa-

The Output Of
American Colleges

The original purpose Of Ameri-
can colleges was mainly to train
men for the ministry, but so it is no
longer. Harvard, founded chiefly
to educate clergymen, now gives to
this profession barely 2 per cent Of
her graduates Yale, begun under
similar impulses, now contributes
a meagre 3 per cent. This and
other interesting changes in the
professions favored by college
graduates are described in bulle-
tin by Bailey b. Buritt on "Pro-
fessional Distribution Of Univer-
sity and College Graduates, F" just
issued by the United States bureau
of education.
The decline in the numbers going
into the ministry has been accom-
panied by rise in the professions
of teaching, law and business. All
three have been more or less con-
sistent gamers at the expense of
the ministry.
When the older colleges were es-
tablished boys who expected to be
the business men Of the community
rarely gave much thought to
"higher education. That was for
the "learned professions" most

room and lunch room for the
teachers. Upstairs was a room fit
ted out to teach the girls cooking
and other household arts, another
room was used for instructions in
sewing and third large room was
used to teach manual training.
Every girl in the sixth, seventh
and eighth grades was given two
hours instruction weekly in these
subjects. At the same time the boys
were taught manual training. The
fourth and fifth grade girls were
taught sewing, while the boys wove
baskets. The school employed
special teachers in cooking, sewing,
music, drawing and manual labor.
They were able to do this at little
expense, because one teacher serv-
