ARE COLLEGE DEGREES
ASSETS OR LIABILITIES?
Educators Discuss Employment De-
partment Head Structures.

The Director of the District of Co.
lumbia Public Employment Depart
ment has published statistics showing
that comparatively few college men
who apply for positions are capable OF
earning more than ten or twelve dol
lars a week, and that employers pre-
fer non-degree men for clerical work
ut is almost impossible to place a
college graduate in a position owing
to the lack Of qualifications needed in
the business and industrial world to.
day." said the director. "These appli-
cants want executive positions fol
which they are not fitted and which
are very few.
ION the other hand, the employers
don't want college graduates. They
state that employees of this kind are
untitled for the work and are always
expecting increases, which they are
not deserving. They are very unsatis-
factory, and it is a rarity that they
last any length Of time"
Records Of a week show that more
than 100 persons the department was
unable to place had received degrees
from some of the most prominent col
leges in the country. The few whom
the department accommodated accept
ed positions of a clerical nature at
salaries beginning at S. a week. Ap-
plicants with a business or technical
training and those willing to accept
laboring or domestic positions were
quickly placed.
Educators who discuss the report
say that the fault is not with the
colleges or the degrees, but the man.
They contend that a college degree is
an indication of it's possessor having
spent a certain number of scholastic
credits by acquiring certain amount
Of knowledge desired by business
houses in employing clerks. It was
suggested by one authority that the
most expert bookkeeper, typist, AND
stenographer in the world would not
be worth five dollars week as a
doctor, lawyer, chemist, or an en-
gineer. "Why, then," he continued,
"blame the colleges which prepare a
man, at his own request, for academic
philosophical pursuits, because his
knowledge is not that desired by those
who would employ bookkeepers and
stenographers?
The fault, contend the educators, is
in the sending Of boys and girls to
college to study abstract subjects
when in future they will have to earn
their living by practical effort, and
not in the college which does but give
to it's customers the goods they de-
mand. There are plenty of institu-
lions teaching the art of making a
living, it is pointed out, for those who
wish to put in their college years in
preparation for money making.

Something to
Think Ab0uf
BEWARE. OF SHADOWS
By r. Il. WALKER

THO Make ones self happy, to
L keep on the sunlit trails, to go
about the days duties with light
heart and willing hand, one must
keep constantly in the splendent, radi-
ant rays from the worlds above.
It is not easy to wear a smile when
troubles hover near, but by continued
effort in the right spirit, it can be
done.
Many OF our annoying perplexities
are of our own making, consequently
they can be avoided by turning from
them when they first knock at the
door of our hearts for admission, and
shutting the door in their faces.
We are inclined to brood over some
fancied wrong until 1t becomes
formidable ghostly thing that haunts
our life from day to day. We are
prone to forget that we are rational
beings possessed of spiritual powers
capable of turning nirht into day by
grain or two of faith, which in our
moments Of dependency we frequent
ly overlook, or cast aside In quest OF
balm OF our own.
We art not willing to accept the
sacred promises given to us by the
Master Of Men, simply because we
prefer the shadows of doubt rather
than the glorious sunlight of endur-
ing truth, so we continue to stumble
and fall In the darkness of our crea-
ton and blame the Fates for our mis-
cradle plight.
Human vanity and IN exalted idea
of our bloOd-and-f1esh prowess are In
most cases responsible for the sor-
rows, tears and disappointments. that
usually beset us,--~------
We make pitiable jobs Of our work
but we stubbornly refuse to change
our methods even though they bring
us nothing but regret and pain.
And generally we rest fairly con-
tent with our failures, for we keep
multiplying them and counting their
company when we know in our hearts
that we should pursue contrary
course.
We wish to be assured of brighter
days, but in our blind eagerness to
find them, we deliberately turn our
backs upon the paths that take to
the hills and choose the rougher
roads that carry us down to the dark
valleys.
If we would not waste our years
in ignorance, we must lift our eyes
up to the light Of Wisdom, place our
hands confidently in her always friend
ly palm and be content to be guided
by her Kindly counsel and illuminat-
ing smile, for there is no other way
by which we can hope to overcome
impeding obstacles and reach the
heights.
