TT C. HEUSTIS Of this city
writes in with some dope
concerning Teller Mead,
Colorado College coach, who is one
of those considered by Indiana
University for the job open at the
State institution.
Heustis' home town is Colo ,
RADIO Springs, the city at which
Colorado College is located. He
was in the Colorado city only ten
days ago and states that Mead
has already announced his resig-
nation after. this school year, and
so is free agent next fall.
Mead has been head coach in
basketball and football for four
years. He has turned out three
Rocky Mountain Conference cham
pions in basketball and may have
another one this year. If obtained
by Indiana he might prove a big
aid to Dean during the winter as
an assistant with the varsity bas-
l1etball and also help with the
"frosh."
His football record also is good,
although he has not produced any
title winners. He has done much
better than any of his predeces-
sors. Mead has splendid repu-
tation in Colorado.
This article is not to boost Mead,
especially, as his football record is
not anything remarkable. And I.
U. wants a grid mentor. We are
just handing out little first-hand
dope.
SOIem of Drake and Shaugh-
messy of Tulane have better
football records. And we know
the quest is not confined to these
three. They are the ones men,
toned so far.
The Chicago alumni seem to be
strong for Shaughnessy They
probably saw the New Orleans
team beat Northwestern and were
duly impressed.
The alumni, however, are not Sc.
lecting the coach. 1t is up to the
faculty committee and Athletic Di-
rector Clevenger. OF course, any
suggestions of the grads will be
given serious consideration. And,
il possible, it is the hope of the
committee that man will be
chosen who will satisfy all

A UNIFORM MOTOR LAW

The Federal Department of Commerce an
nounces that the first step has been taken to
give to all the states a uniform code for the
regulation of automobile traffic.
The proposed rules have been drafted by a
committee named for the purpose, and will
be submitted to the national conference on
street and highway safety.
If approved, they will be passed on to the
various states for enactment into law. 1t is not
proposed to force upon the states a federal
statute for the governing of traffic, but merely
to suggest for their consideration compilation
of rules ard regulations that have been ap-
proved by a national conference of state rep
resentatives. Such plan, as we see it, would
simplify traffic throughout the country and do
away entirely with the confusion that obtains
at present. The driver OF an automobile IS
never sure of himself after he crosses the line
separating one state from another.

BUM ESTIMATES

ment like the following
"A college graduate may expect to earn
S1O5 600 more in his lifetime than his less for
tunate brother whose studies were completed
in the primary grades, according to an article
by Nick Flatley in this weeks Liberty. Dean
Everett Lord a world authority on labor gnd
child welfare and founder of the College of
Business Administration at Boston University,
who is sponsor for the figures, also explains
that high school graduate may expect to earn
$50. coo more than the unframed worker
We are not sure that such statements help
the cause OF education We think it holds up
the wrong goal 1t is an attempt to sell edu-
cation on q commercial basis. Increased earn
ing power is not the best OF education. 1t 1T
were, it Is misleading TO make statements that
give the impression that one only has to go to
college to be able to earn a lot Of money.
There is something about financial success
that seems to be entirely apart from learning
or culture. Some very crude people make a
financial success in life On the other hand,
some Of the brightest minds and finest spirits
are found in men who are never able to pay
their bills. They are financial failures.
Anyhow, statistics based on those who at
tended college twenty five years ago would be
worthless today Twenty-Five years ago only
the boys who were bent on climbing in life
were going to college Nowstboys and girls
arc sent to college to keep them out of worse
trouble, and for the purpose of getting in style.
1t is reasonable to expect less from college
education today than was derived twenty-five
years age. The average benefits will be lower.

MUSIC IN THE SCHOOLS

The Cordele Despatch says: "We hope some

music that should be taught to the children.
We do not know, nor do we think we will ever,
count the child's education complete without
the rudments Of music, both vocal and instru-
mental Some day somebody will be brave
enough to make the move for it and many peo-
pie will join in getting it. We want real must
cal education included in the schools"
The Despatch is correct and we are glad to
note that the Board of Education is now trying
to perfect plans for having music teacher in
the Waycross schools have the approval of all
Waycross citizens.-Waycross Herald.
Our Board of Education should also take
steps to make music a real feature in our
schools by electing Prof. r. Glen Johnson as
musical director and provide short periods in
each school room during the week for his in
struction. Prof. Johnson is giving practical
demonstration of his ability to teach in the
progress the band is making.
