CALLS CANT AFFORD TO GO
TO COLLEGE, I'll A FALLACY

That he can't afford to go to COL
lege is no reason for not going TO
college, the California boy evidently
appreciates.
What did it cost you to go through
the University, and what share of
your University expense have you
paid for by your own earnings ?" was
asked of the last senior class in the
College of Agriculture of the Univer-
sity of California by Dean Thomas
Forsyth Hunt.
This is the answer the students
made, as set forth in the annual report
OF the College of Agriculture: That
their four-year course averaged in
cost $448 per year; that most of them
had worked their own way through
college, either wholly or in part; and
that actually 81 per cent of the cost
OF the four-year course for that whole
senior class in agriculture had been
earned by their own labor.
With such courageous ambition as
that abroad in the rising generation
in California, it is easy to see, the
faculty think, why it is there are now
GOO students in the College of Agri-
culture and $500 in all at Berkeley.
The new term, beginning with jan
uary II, will see many hundred new
students arriving at Berkeley, to study
everything from engineering to bank
inc, from architecture to domestic
art, from the classics to mining, from
modern languages TO the problems of
labor on of industrial organization.
And because tuition is free, the poor
mans son has just as much chance
as anybody else. And the records of
scholarship, of athletic prowess, Of
esteem and of leadership in college
life, and of success in the world out
side, after graduation, show that the
students who have earned their own
way have been under no real handicap
IN the university as compared with
those whose fathers purses were
longer.

CATTLE ARE SLAUGHTERED
TO STOP EPIDEMIC

Washington, Nov. 7.-Placing Of q
federal quarantine ON shipment Of
live stock out of Ohio and Wisconsin,
ard reports Of the rapid spread of the
foot and mouth disease in states al
ready quarantined, marked the days
developments at the Department of
Agriculture's fight against the worst
epidemic of the infection ever known
in the United States.
Scores of additional fede4al inspec-
tors were rushed into the field to trace
every shipment from infected centers.
Reports from inspectors already at
work led department officials to pre-
dict that many other communities
soon will be affected.
The number If ANIMALS killed in in
fected areas IS rapidly mounting up,
and the unexpected demand upon the
department to meet this loss and the
expenses OF inspectors, led Secretary
Houston to confer with President Will
son regarding an emergency appro-
priation from congress.
Under the present plan the depart
ment is paying the salaries of ap-
praisers selected by the various states
to fix the value of slaughtered animals
and IS bearing half of the actual meat
value of the animals killed. The
states pay the other half, leaving the
owners to bear the loss of food de-
stroyed, of business, and of the pecu-
liar value of the live stock killed.
Chicago, Nov. 7.-Sprays of disin-
fectant were sprayed over the $40
acres of cattle pens at the Chicago
Union Stockyards preparatory to a
complete shutdown of the yards to
begin Saturday and to continue until
November Is, because of the preva-
lence of foot and mouth disease
among cattle. An idea of the mag
ritude OF the work is shown by the
fact that 800 men are thoroughly to
disinfect $4,000 pens, 725 shutes and
miles of water troughs before business
at the stockyards, the worlds largest
cattle market, may be resumed.
Supplementing the federal Guaran-
tine ogainst interstate movement Of
cattle from Illinois, the state livestock
board ordered quarantine also to
take effect Saturday, when no cattle
shipments are to be permitted between
points within the state until all cattle
pens are disinfected and pronounced
clean by the state. This action puts
an absolute embargo, hot only on the
stockyards, but also on all the live
stock receiving depots of the big meat
packers.
The meat packers, however, said
there would be no tie up of their
industry; no scarcity of meat and
exceot in the killing and some me.
cbanical departments, no laying of
of help as the present supplies Of
cattle were sufficient to keep tbs
plants busy during almost all the
quarantine period.
Few new cases of the disease were
reported today. Six hundred infected
cattle, valued at $4,000, were killed
and buried. B. J. Stanley, state vet
erinarian, said the prize cattle brought
here from twenty states and Canada
would be held for developments and
if they were found infected, all OF
them would be destroyed.
