During his address TO the Indiana
club on Saturday. Father Cavan-
augh announced mis- intention OF
forming an employment bureau for
the benefit OF poor boys seeking an
education and unable 10 pay their
way through college. AT the same
time ne promised TO give to the
press Monday a statement Of his
plan. The statement follows.
My proposal 10 establish a bu-
.reau o. employment for the benefit
OF poor students is altruism pure and
simple. The university will derive
no financial benefit from it what
ever. on the other hand, il will
increase the large amount of phil
a%uthrOpic work the university is al
ready doing.
1T has been a great grief 70 rue
20 note the number of young men
who appeal for an opportunity to
work their way through college and
who cannot be taken car of. Notre
Dame has no endowment. She
depends entirely on the fees of stu
dents 10 carry on her work. She
cannot furnish beefsteak and bread
for all the ambitious. poor boys in
the country. She has. however.
always been notably generous in Civ
ing them opportunities TO provide
tuition for themselves through their
own efforts. and in many instances
has been obliged TO invent fictitious
employment for them. and still
oftener 10 give them free tuition.
For instance. in my address 10
the Indiana club on Saturday. / was
able to say that during my Is years
as president / have refused a
poor boy in South Bend, or the
neighborhoOd. who was able to
board at home, the opportunity 70
an education whether he could PAY
for it or not. I say this especially
regarding college students, though
/ am inclined 10 think il is true also
Of preparatory students. in whose
cases the same need did not exist
on account Of our splendid South
Bend high school.
Bureau il Ordinary Thing.
The students employment bureau
is the ordinary thing in all uni
Versity towns. Last year els stu
dents Of Harvard were placed In
-wage-earnins positions and enabled
20 use their free time after school
hours in self-supporting employ
ment. Columbia had 2,SO9 self
supporting students i'm 1916. The
number is undoubtedly much larger
now. The president of the univer-
sity Of North Dakota said several
years ago. that 75 per cent IF his
students were working their way in
whole or i'm part: Kentucky univer-
sity reports about SO per cent of its
students doing the same thing. A
city of the size Of South Bend cam
not do as muoh as Boston or New
York. where Harvard and Columbia
are located.
MY plan does not involve charity
but only good will and friendliness.
] am not asking for gifts of any
kind. ! merely ask the men OF
south Bend and Mishawaka 10 con-
slider whether they cannot provide
ore or two or three or four hours
of employment 10 a student every
day or week. paying toe same rate

No Enslavement of Black Africa.

HAPPENINGS IN AND ABOUT TOWN
Plan For Employment Bureau
to Help Educate Poor Boys
at University of Notre Dame

for the work done that they would
pay ANYBODY else. Some boys will
need TO earn all Of the money 10
pay for their board and room.
Others can get along with less work.
II will be the business Of the en-
ployment bureau to connect up the
boy with the opportunity.
Prof. Farrell to Have Charge.
The management Of the employ
ment bureau, for the present will
be in the hands of Prof. William
Farrell of the university faculty. He
will make il a point 10 see that all
service provided by the bureau is
entirely satisfactory 10 employers.
He will supervise the work Of the
boys and remove at once any who
are not giving satisfactory service.
II is my idea that ne should. directly
or indirectly. get a report on each
boy every week.
Il will try TO reach the men of
South Bend with This proposition
through such organized units as the
various clubs and societies OF the
city.
II ought TO add that in some
cases there may be a spare room
available for an earnest student who
may render satisfactory service in
lieu of rent. Similarly there may
be some cases where d boy might
get his board for his services instead
OF receiving payment in money. The
favor which I ask Of South Bend
men is that they take the necessary
trouble 10 think what can be done,
each in his ovn case"
