SAYS PROFESSORS WILL QUIT
COLLEGES UNLESS PAID MORE

Unless colleges pay their professors
better. business will get the services
of the professors, it is believed Presi-
dent Hibben of Princeton University
says, in part:
1T is conceded that salaries of COL
Iege professors are entirely made
auate Every college of importance
is seeking to correct this condition
But the problem is not merely wheth-
er the income of teachers shall be
made more nearly equal to the cost
Of living; it is whether inducements
can be offered to Offset the allure
:nents of business.
1T has at last realized the full stat
ure of the college professor. His as
sistance in the war. the value of his
research work and special knowl-
edge in meeting the immediate needs
of the nation have opened the eyes
of business to the value of these men !;
and business bids high
The productivity of the United
states in the last generation, which
astonished the world, was not a hap
hazard advance; with it came an ex
,raordinary enrolment in the colleges

1t came in the form of a chance
to enter the rubber industry via
the well known Mexican plantation
route. Our foreman was a writer
beside whom Harold Bell Wright
fades into insignificance as de-
picter of sweet nature at her best.
Through his monthly letters we
could fairly see the little rubber
trees push their sturdy way up
toward the copper southern sky;
could sense the golf balls and
pneumatic tires almost bursting
into b1oom-and then came the
deluge!- The superintendent's lit
erary ecstasy probably made him
blind to the fact that the door to
the plantation pigstye was left un-
fastened and ere the porkers were
herded home our young and sue
culent trees were inside them.
Valiantly the superintendent la
bored to save the stockholders by
attempting to market the pigs. but
the bacon proved SO elastic and
difficult to masticate that only a
limited number of boarding houses
were attracted by it, So again my
investment proved total loss.

PLANTATION of his rise TO fame and

ton of the administration when the
federal reserve act was under con-
sideration. Moehlenpah was then
president of a mortgage and security
company in Milwaukee, but had been
president of the Wisconsin State
Bankers Association. He attended tho
convention OF tho American Bankers
Association in Boston. The big fellows
were then fighting the owen Glass
bill. and had a resolution all drafted
to kill that incipient legislation. Then
up rose Moehlenpah. representing the
country bankers. and Just plain

finally he got the resolution modified.

Adoo almost threw his arms about

financial reports. There was a long
string of deficits.
Finally came the report from the

was almost enough to pay for the de-
ficiency in the other branches of the
club.

ton confronting the organization fol-
