Opportunities Never Greater.

Opportunities never were greater
for the capable and well trained law
yer than they are at this time. While
this great opportunity exists for the
thorough and capable man, the pro-
fession has little TO offer TO the man
who has not the ability To rise above
mediocrity.
The profession has for many years
been crowded. so far as numbers are
concerned. and with the postwar
rush into the law schools, IL seems
likely that the profession Will still
he crowded II we regard mere num-
bers. To a young man who gives
thought To the situation, IL must be
perfectly obvious that his own in
terest requires him TO prepare care
fully IL he il entering the profession
TO an able man thus prepared. the
future should seem bright, but unless
he la willing TO bear the work and
expense OF careful preparation. the
profession has but little to offer him.
During the civil war legal educa-
tion suffered decline and at the
close OF that war the loss was more
than made up. The same thing hap
pened during and has happened since
the great war, except that both the
slump and the rebound have been
war. Whereas law school attend
snce fell Off about % per cent during
the civil war and at the close of the
war rebounded to about 35 per cent
over its former level, the decrease in
law school attendance during the late
war was fully 10 per cent, and while
the extent of the rebound cannot at
this time be stated, the law school
attendance is now very much larger
than II ever before was in the course
OF American legal education, and the
percentage of increase over former
levels Is no doubt greatly in excess
of the increases following the civil
war
ThorsaSk Training Needed.
This situation points to the same
moral as that indicated above, namely,
one who Is not prepared to rise above
mediocrity is to be confronted with
much competition. A fallacy which
often prevails among college students
is the idea that high scholarship
plays little or no part in making for
the success of the student. The care
full student is often dubbed a grind"
or a book worm" and his efforts dis
paraged. While ii Is perfectly true
that high scholarship will not by it,
ledge of human nature and general
affairs are also elements in deter
mining a students career, numerous
investiga tions show that the profi-
cient student has a far better chance
to succeed than the poor or mediocre
student.
1t is difficult to agree on standard
which may be called success. How
ever. a study was ,scently made TAX
ing a listing in who's Who as the
criterion Of success. This study re-
vealed that one out of about 5000
with common school education at
tained such listing, that one out Of
fifteen college graduates attained it.
and that one out Of two and half
honor students attained II. II would
thus appear that the chances of the
honor student are about six times
better than that of other college
graduates and about $500 times bet
