The New York Times sees new hope
for clergymen and college professors
In an editorial entitled, "a Chance for
the Professor" published on August
20, it pointed out a new opportunity
to meet the II. G. of l..
"An advertiser in this city announces
that window cleaners are wanted; only
those with experience need apply;
wages $50 per day. He should have no
trouble in hiring as many as he wants,
for his advertisement will bring good
news to most of the clergymen and
college teachers in these United States.
A wage of $3.50 per day is little
more than $4,000 year. Full protci-
sors at many universities, associate pro
fessers at some, get more than that but
| to the young instructor who wants to
get married, to the assistant professor
who has made the mistake of trying TO
raise a family-indeed to full profos-
sors in many a small college which has
done its credtable part in turning out
educated men-S2, 800 n year is un-
heard-of affluence. AS for the preach
ers, few of them ever expect to see
salary of such size.
"Moreover, the professor and the
clergyman have to keep up appear
ances; they have to buy many hooks,
and expensive books. A salary of 81
300 is very much less when the cost of
books is deducted. Window cleaning,
fortunately, is an empirical occupation;
It's practitioners need no books.
"To be sure, applicants must be eX~
perienced. But what clergyman or
college teacher is inexperienced IN win

wife succumbs 10 human weaknesses
occasionally the professor, in many
cases, not only cleans the windows, but
sweeps and dusts and does whatever
else is needed around the house till she
is well again The average college
teacher or minister of the gospel can
qualify as an expert in general house
keeping. If this call for window clean
ers does not strip these two professions
of some Of their most promising mem-
bers, it will be proof that there are
stu, men who are willing to starve in
wssk they like. New blood ought 10
inprove the art of window cleaning;
as for teaching and the ministry, they
may suffer, but that is to be expected
in society which makes window clean
| ing so much more attractive as life
work"
