Boston. kennebec Steamer Service

The cheering word comes from
Bath, as will be seen in the Journals
news columns this morning, that the
plan to bring about resumption Of
the steamboat service between the
kennebec river points and Boston
seems very certain of success. Dis
cussion of the matter has been going
on for some weeks and everyone ap-
preached is in favor of the idea The
plan is now to combine the CONNER.
cial bodies along the Kennebec in a
concerted movement and that once
done-steamers will run in 1921 be-
tween Boston and Gardiner.
1t will take heavy financial backing
and some hard work to establish this
new service, but with the business
men of the kennebec valley united in
concerted action something will
surely happen. The best posted men
SO far approached believe that such
a steamer service would pay, and pay
fair dividends. The convenience and
the saving Of time alone on freight
would soon be found to pay our Ken
nebec valley people. The vote should
be unanimous and the backing should
be liberal. We believe it will.

Tho Vanishing Nurse-An Appeal

will be found in the local department.

Keep the Professors in College
-@GC%


After reading the swelling regis
tration figures given out by all the
colleges and higher institutions of
learning in September, most people
decided things were brighter after
all, not everybody was going to
desert the halls of learning and the
professions; not everybody was lured
into unskilled manual labor by the
attraction of big wages and short
hours. Boys and girls were hitching
their wagons to the stars, the while
keeping their feet on the ground in
the most approved fashion. And in
deed the most hopeful sign of the
times is the determination of such
numbers of American youths to pre-
pare themselves in so far forth as
education makes it possible, for the
best things life has to offer.
But what about the professors?
They are leaving the colleges. A pro-
lessor of modern languages who was
earning $1,000 a year has become a
trade commissioner at $4,000: biolo-
gy man has left a $4,000 college chair
for $4,000 position with an automo-
bile firm; a professor of English at
$500 has become an advertising
manager at $4,000; and so on.
Why do they do it? They have
been forced into it. They have had
to forsake the quiet academic life.
which most of them like. for hustling
jobs on which they may be able to
support their families. You can't
blame the profs, but what about the
they set up and have maintained?
What kind of men are taking their
places. at their salaries? What kind
of patient and pains taking research
and investigation will the new men
doo Will they up hold the traditions
Of their predecessors?
Isn't the business world taking
short lighted view? To take the in
vestigators away from their expert.
ments in order to help some COM
pany to make money is poor econo-
my. There are plenty of people who
can help make money. but compare
lively few who can dig into the Sc
crets of nature and discover the
things that are worth knowing. In
dustries are providing for today
without looking ahead to tomorrow.
1t would pay them better to keep the
professors in their laboratories, by
seeing to it that they receive living
wages.

nursing situation:
F'irst-The universal shortage OF
nurses; how it came about: its dan

lines which such a training offers,
such as institutional work: indus

Many a young girl on leaving high

idea of what she wishes to do with
her newly acquired freedom, takes a
year or two of college in order to
broaden her horizon. Is it not pos

their worthy followers.
