be offered tonight at a twin bill to
be presented in the Arcade audit
forum.
The main event, slated to start

tacular. Both teamA are in excel
lent condition for the game and a
great game is expected to result.
This game will be preceded by Il
preliminary contest which will rival
the main event in interest. In
this meeting the ambitious Epiph-
any Juniors will tackle Coach

BRITON CALLS
COLLEGE YEARS
WASTE0F TIME

OXFORD, England, Dec. IL (APD
Captains Of industry in England
are beginning to grow skeptical as
to the value of a college education
for future business men.
Even the century-old prestige Of
Oxford and Cambridge is being
questioned, for in recent inter-
view, w. r. Morris, head Of the
Morris Motor company, and known
as 'the Henry Ford of England, :"
declared that university training
is an absolute waste of time and
"a severe handicap in commercial
life"
In explaining his remarks, Mr..
Morris said, II have no high opin-
ion of the value of universities for
education for such essentially prac-
teal purposes as industry or COM
merce, in fact, university train
ing is, from business point of
view, absolutely useless.
No Use, He Says
"There are exceptions, I know,
but have never found university
trained man of any use in my or
navigation, and l am going to say
that for business university
training is an absolute waste of
time.
"a university education will
make a scholar, but it will not
give those qualities essential for
commerce and industry.
II those qualities are not origin
ally there. If there are, it is quite
likely to obliterate them. 1t does
not, for instance, give an under
standing of the psychology of the
workers in an industry. AS one
who went to work early in life in
an engineering shop, I got my
training in practical school. l
know what the worker thinks.
Considers Workers
When | go through my factory
among those thousands of men, l
know what they are thinking Of me
and of the conditions under which
I ask them to work My business
depends as much for it's success
upon those men, as upon anything,
and unless l, and those responsible
with me for the control and man
agement Of the enterprise have
that understanding of the workers,
how can we hope for success?
Neither Oxford nor Cambridge,
Yale or Harvard, will train that
element into it's students"
