cause they believe he is directing our

STUDENTS EARN WAY
Jobs at New Haven Net Scholars
$37,146.
Work for 2,oo7 Obtained by Bureau OF
Appointments, According to Re-
port-Some Make $500
Year.

New Haven.-Yale students who
worked their way through college last
year earned total Of $37,146.S8 in
positions obtained for them by the bu-
reau of appointments OF Yale univer-
sity, according to the first report OF
that bureau.
During the year the bureau assist
ed 600 students who applied for work.
In the cases of three-fourths of the
men applying the bureau provided for
work and scholarship aid sufficient to
make the assets for the year equal 20
the total necessary expenses.
Typewriting and stenographic work
furnished the most profitable means
of employment and the newspaper bu-
reau brought good results. Owing to
the discussion that arose concern
ing tutoring this means was not
pushed vigorously. Next year, ac-
cording to arrangements made by the
faculty, there will be regular tutor
ing school attached to the university.
The record kept OF the amounts
earned by students shows that total
of 2,007 jobs were given out during the
nine months of the university year,
from which the men reported total
earnings of $19,646.88, and It's posi-
tions were furnished for students for
the summer, from which the esti.
mated total income is $17,500.
This, of course, does not include the
large amount of income Of men from
work which they have continued on
jobs obtained through the bureau in
previous years, or the earnings from
the large amount of work which men
have found for themselves about the
city. On the basis Of this computa-
ton it is estimated about seven hun
dred students in the university sup
port themselves and earn approximate
ly $500 year each at Yale.

VIII Ask Congress TO Advance Money
for Public Works In Order to
Stimulate Agricultural
Development.

Washington.-Thes secretary of agri-
ceipts from the national forests by
securing an advance of money from
congress for the construction of roads,
trails, bridges, and other public works
would stimulate agricultural develop
ment and would relieve many strug-
Cling communities from their present
burdens of taxation, says an article
contributed by the chief Of the forest
service to the department Of agricul-
ture year book, just issued. This pol
icy, says the article, would apply ex-
clusively in those counties where there
is considerable area Of national for
est land 80 located that the forest re-
sources cannot be marketed. al
though later they will yield large
revenue. 1t would fully meet the To-
cal difficulties arising from the fact
that the national forests are not sub
ject to taxation; would aid in the pro-
lection and development Of the for
est resources, and would remove the
one barrier which in few places pre-
vents farmers from Immediately en-
joying the benefits of the national for
ests.
Millions of acres OF farm land are
today undeveloped because of lack
of good roads. In opening any new
country road building constitutes a
hard problem for the settlers. At first,
while the settler is struggling to
erect his home and farm buildings
and to clear his land, he usually can
not afford to pay high taxes or other
wise contribute toward the expense of
road building. The national forests
comprise the remotest and least set
tiled regions of the country. In many
cases farming in these localities is
still pioneering, under as difficult con-
ditions as have ever existed in the
United States. One of the principal
reasons for the failure to develop the
large areas of excellent agricultural
land which lie near the forests is the
lack of roads.
The government Is trying to meet
this problem in two ways, first, by
public improvements being made on
the national forests, and second by
the. direct contribution to the coun-
ties of share in the forest receipts.
Up to date the forest service has con-
structed on the forests more than
1900 miles of roads, $1,000 miles of
trails, nearly 500 bridges. and $4,000
miles of telephone lines. Every one
OF these improvements benefits set
tiers and ranchers. In addition, there
is appropriated annually for the use of
the counties in which the national for
ests lie rs per cent of the gross re-
ceipts from timber sales and other
sources, to be used for road and
school purposes. Some Of the indi-
vidual forests are bringing in over
100000 a year, and the business of
the entire national forest system is
increasing so that this direct contribu-
ton to community upbuilding is rap
idly growing In fact, already total
of nearly 100000 is obtained from the
forests every year for county. road and
school purposes.
