QUITTING COLLEGE
 BECAUSE OF COSTS
H. c. l.. Hits Students of Small Means-BOard and
 Clothes Trouble

Approximately twenty college boys Alabama schools have doubts about re- turning.
 Increased cost of education is the reason, according to them. They state that college expenses have increased from twenty to fifty per cent during the past two years.
 Many who attended the various col leges and universities last year stated that the increase would prevent their returning in September, and as result of the advance in expenses they would be deprived of a college education
 Others who are able to have only d little assistance from home and de- pend largely on their own efforts while in college to meet expenses. declare they have given up the idea of return ing to school as they were unable to keep up their studies and do enough outside work to pay expenses.
 It IS pointed out that the increase is not altogether in the tuition. which in many instances had not increased one cent and at some schools is free, but that board, clothing, laundry, books and incidentals have increased. It is stated that in many college towns board has practically doubled while in others il has been advanced anywhere from forty to 100 per cent.
 One young man states that after leaving high school he had worked for two years and saved his money to go to college. He received a little assist ance from home, he said. but was only able to go to school two years and had one more year to graduate. How ever, he declared he would not return this fall, but would go to work and endeavor to complete his college educa- tion in 1922. by which time he hoped that a dollar will be worth more than thirty-three cents and the days of thy high cost of living will have passed. .
