BACK TO COLLEGE

HERE. is reported great rush for college en-
1 rolment at the various schools and colleges
throughout the country. Ii Is thought by that
lack Of other employment may havve drawn hundreds
of young men and women into college this year. For
some years now, employment has been so remunera'
tive in nearly all lines that many young men and wo-
men deferred their education pursuits until later,
deeming that two or three years delay would not be
too much of handicap and wishing to make the
most Of condition which they felt to be transient to
earn as much money as possible.
Now that many Of them have been dropped from
the payrolIs or have had their salaries cut to point
that has made them refuse to continue in their work,
they are turning 10 the colleges for the education which
they find necessary. Probably hundreds of these
money to secure for themselves lonsed for college
training which could never have been possible any
other way.
Education comes high right now. Private schools
with special preparatory courses for college entrance
ask exceedingly high fees for pupils Numbers of
local parents who have sons or daughters away at
school will heartily agree with this statement. Natur-
ally in colleges, the amount expended depends IN the
largest possible manner upon the student here IS
almost no limit to the amount of money boy can
spend if he is inclined and the money is forthcoming,
and on the other hand. it is surprising what steady
earnest determined student can do in the way of
squeezing by on very little.
One conclusion that can certainly be drawn by the
augmented number Of students this fall, is that the
brief business encounter with the world on the part
of many Of them has served 10 open their eyes to the
necessity Of good education to begin with Also the
very great advantage in specializing upon Parti-
cuar line. There is sure to be more applied efot>on
the part Of the hundreds Of freshmen now entering
college than has featured those Of former years hey
now know what they need, and must have, and they
are going after it.
