Texas Attorney Raises Point
and Says He Only Is
'ACting,'
Times WASHINGTON Bureau,
100 Anhr Xns-L. L.,


WASHINGTON, June Els Cal
win Coolidge President of the United
States or only Vice President?
One of the shrewdest constitu-
tional lawyers in the Southwest de-
clares he is only Vice President. and
his opinion, communicated TO po-
litical leaders in Washington, is
causing some hard thinking. If he
is correct, an unexpected and i'm
portant factor enters into the com
ing campaign. The lawyer is Ed.
ward D. Tittmann, Ell Paso, Texas,
who is said to have had remark.
able success in the higher courts on
constitutional questions.
Tittmanns view becomes impor-
tant only in case the next election
is thrown into the House of Repre-
sentatives and the House. without a
Republican majority, is unable to
elect. Thereupon, the Constitution
says, The Vice President shall act
as President" This, generally, *
taken 10 mean that the Vice Presi-
dent who shall in the meantimn
have been elected by the Senate,
will become President Tittmann
says not so. He says that Coolidge
is still Vice President. so far as the
Constitution is concerned; that he is
now merely acting as President.

By E. D. BURTON

President University Of Chicago
- YOUNG man or woman
q who expects TO become a
college teacher should first
of all complete the work for a
bachelors degree in a good col
- Iege. Following this there should
be a professional course in some
one line. The particular line will
depend on the choice Of the pros
pective teacher.
Before he can become a college
teacher he will have to take other
work in the graduate school. # he
takes only a small amount Of work
in the graduate work he can look
forward only to minor positions.
2 He ought to go far enough to. re-
ceive the degree of doctor of phil
osophy. which commonly requires
three years beyond the bachelors
degree, if he wishes to prepare
himself for good positions.
In personal qualifications the
candidate should have good health
and physical vigor. He should be
interested in his subject and sym
pathetic with students. He should
have good command of English
and should be prepared to devote
himself diligently to preparation of
his material.
/ During the first five years he
will have to occupy minor posi-
tons while he is accommodating the
experience necessary to make him
a good teacher. His salary will
range during these five years from
$500, which is a good starting
point. up to a possible $4,000. He
may find if he gets into one of the
larger universities that his period
Of apprenticeship is even longer
and the salary at the end of five
years is not as high as that in
dicated.
At the end of twenty-five years
he ought to have a permanent po-
sition in some institution. If that
permanent position is in small
college he is likely 10 receive in
the neighborhood of $4,000 to S4,-
600 a year. If he gets into one Of
the better institutions and is a
moderate success, he can look for
ward to a salary of $4,000 to So
600. If he is a phenomenal sue
cess he will undoubtedly become
head Of a department in one Of the
larger institutions and his salary
may reach from $4,000 to 100000.
Many college professors have du-
ties of an administrative type in
addition 10 their duties as teach
ers. and some of them are able to
carry on collateral lines of work
which are remunerative. Some of
them write textbooks which bring
them good returns by way of royal
ties.
With regard to the future of this
profession. there can be no doubt
at all that there is a large and i'm
mediate demand for highly trained
people to carry on the work Of
teaching in higher institutions and
to carry on research. and who will
produce science and letters for the
advantage of the whole commun-
ity. The demand for leaders in
this field is sure to increase rather
than diminish.
In attempting to define the OPP
portunities of the profession, one
must recognize Immediately that it
is not a money-making profession.
It is, however, a professicn which
gives one an opportunity to Gull
