Can the Country Girl Earn her way
Thru College? Many Do 1t

1t is now generally admitted that any
ambitious young man can earn his own
way through college. But what about
the country girl that has a desire for
higher education Is it possible for
her to obtain a college education
through her own efforts?
Alfred Westfall, of the Colorado
Agricultural College, says that 1t is
not only possible but that it is being
done all the time. To prove his asser
ton Mr.. Westfall cites the cases of
several girls at the Colorado Agricul-
tural College.
A number of them have taught rural
schools after their graduation from
high school and saved enough money
to pay their expenses while in college.
Many of them come to Fort Collins
and support themselves wholly or in
part by working in private families for
their room and board. Some of them
have livestock of their own from which
they support themselves. Many
college girls education is based upon Il
nerd begun by colt or calf gwen
her by her father while she was yet h
baby. Such cases as these are com
mon.
Here are some unusual things done
by others. One girl is supporting her
college work at the same time. A
Lyons girl raised garden truck for the
Estes park hotels. She sold enough
peas, beans, radishes, etc, in one
summer to pay her college expenses
for one year. A Fort Collins girl got
an acre of land on the home place and
raised sugar beets. She did all the
work her self. That one acre yielded
her Sl33. The next year she raised
two acres of beets
Another girl raised flock of turkeys
The profits on the flock were almost
enough to pay all the expenses of
full year at college. A Denver girl
made over 5000 in single year from
the chickens she kept on one city lot.
By doing light housekeeping with
dome other girls, she was able to pay
all OF her expenses out of her chicken
money.
Another girl built up a profitable
trade in cottage cheese. She thus
utilized for the development of brain
power. the milk that had gone for the
development of pork.
To listen to the stories of these girls
would convince the most skeptical that
all that is necessary for a country girl
who wants college education, is the
desire if she has this strong enough,
she will find way of gratifying it.
