COLLEGES HARD HIT

Princeton Conference Favors
Continuance Till June OF
Training Appropriation.
HEAVY COST INCURRED
Vocational Work Objected to
as Unsuited to Individual
Needs of Students.

Princeton, n. j., Nov. 2s.-The de-
mobilization of Student Army Training
Corps in various universities. colleges
and preparatory schools throughout
the country has left many Of the edu-
cationai institutions in a serious IMAM
cial situation and steps must be taken
10 obtain reimbursements from the
Government, Il was asserted to-day by
speakers before the conference OF the
Association Of Colleges and Prepare
tory Schools Of the middle States and
Maryland.
In order to meet the demands Of the
| War Department in organizing and
carrying on the work Of these corps
1t had been necessary to raise the
salaries OF instructors and In other
ways 70 spend money that in view Of
the practical abandonment OF the edu-
cational military programme cannot
be recovered without Federal aid.
The conference voted TO approve the
action OF the Association OF College
| Presidents OF Pennsylvania, which
adopted a resolution at its last meet
| ing urging that the Government con-
| tinue the financial assistance II had
promised for the training corps up to
June, 1919.
Many Of the 400 members present
applauded statements by the speakers
that vocational training was not suited
for colleges and preparatory schools
and should not be forced upon them.
\ certain percentage of college stu
dents should be diverted To vocational
| fields when II had been demonstrated
that such training was suitable to their
individual needs. it was contended.
Nicholas Murray Butler, president
Of Columbia University, said that
| American educators would make a
criminal blunder II they inferred that
the war had taught the desirability OF
the imitation Of Germany in any par
| ticular.
The war teaches US 20 avoid Ger

After all that may be said in sharp
criticism Of American school and coll

The German newspapers are dis.
cussing with much seriousness the
reasons Of Bulgaria's detection. They
have attributed 1t to lack of support
from Berlin, to the poverty of the peo-
pie and to the connivance OF the En-
tente diplomats. Perhaps a much
more plausible explanation may be
found in the fact that the hard headed
Bulgars awoke to the fact that all
the grandlose ideas of conquest were

Our Labor Shortage: The Cause.

Every employer knows by hitter ex-
perience what shortage OF labor
there was in this country not merely
after we went to war, but in the
three years before we went to war.
Every employer knows that IL all our
men IN the service had been dis
charged out, II every munition plant
in the country had quit its war work,
If everybody had gone back TO his
own job, ti.sre still would be labor
shortage
The cause is simple enough. II Is
the stOppage Of the great flow Of for
eign workers who, until the summer
Of 1914, had come here for genera
tons to help us out in our serious
shortage Of labor.
In the five years before the up
heaval of Europe p Germany he
number of Immigrants coming into
| this country averaged annually more
than 100000. In the two years i'm
mediately preceding the outburst OF
the Central Powers the average was
more than 100000. But beginning
with the middle Of 1914 immigration
into the United States from the Old
World dropped like a shot. In the
twelve months following there were
only $4,000, and this, of course,
largely from the countries not aflame
with war. In the next twelve months
there was a fail below the 100000
mark, and since then the fall has
been steady.
There Is no doubt that II there had
been no war in Europe this country
would have received from oil the
world between August 1. 1914 and to-
day 100000 more workers than
came here. With the enormously en-
larged productive capacity Of the ma.
tion. with Its industrial activity
| greatly increased, with Its economic
energy exceedingly intensified. we
should need to-day, II the country

Most Of our cities are IN need OF con-
cert halls. and since music helped win
the war and has done so much shT the
various charities why not have the me-
mortal IN the various towns take the
