Who Should Pay
for Education? .

n WELL-TO-DO Alumnus
n of one of our Eastern
universities, who recently de-
clined to contribute to the En-
dowrnent Fund of his Alma
Mater, expressed his reasons
substantially as follows:
Why should l pay for cducat-
ing the children of other people?
l am willing to pay for my own.
If the college tuition fees are
rot high enough to cover the
cost they should be raised, and
I will gladly pay the extra ex-
pense. Every one who can af-
ford to should be asked to do
the same. Deserving students
who cannot afford the entire
cost can be taken care of by
scholarships
The attitude of this man is for
tunately not that of the great
majority of college graduates,
but the solution he proposes for
the financial problem of the
universities is receiving more
or less discussion Just now.
Those who hold the view that
parents should bear the entire
responsibility of educating fu-
ture generations probably do
not realize that it is merely
reversion to an ancient view. +
Not so many years ago educa-
ton in general-even that Of
the primary and secondary
sehools-was paid for by the
parents. The condition changed [
only when the fact became rec
ognized that lack of education
handicapped not merely the in
dividual but the whole conlmu-
nifty. The responsibility for
education was therefore brought
home to the community.
In democratic America we have
managed to avoid the evil of
separating students into a pay
ing group and a charity group.
Scholarships have been provid-
ed, but not of a kind to destroy
the self-respect of those whom
they partially maintain. In
most instances they have been
accompanied by an obligation,
expressed or implied, upon the
individual beneficiary to repay
the tuition loan, either in pres
ent service or in cash payment
after the student has graduated
and entered active life.
Personally, I should never con-
sent to any division of New
York University students into
classes based upon the wealth
OF their parents. I should re-
gard it as dangerously subver-
sive of the democratic character
our student body has always
manifested.
Furthermore, I do not believe
the community can escape a
moral responsibility for secur-
ing the financial stability, the
proper equipment, and the gen.
erous enlargement of the insti-
tutions in which the new gen
Grafton of men is to find its edu-
cational opportunity.

on dogmatic religious truths, and
its flexible moral code, will jazz

Inc priest regrets that couples

frail, flimsy, daring attire" evokes
impertinences from the sort Of
man who boasts that he is "a bit of
