WORLD IS IN NEED
 OF COLLEGE MEN
President Of Trinity Says Edu-
 cation Is Worth Cost

The world needs college men, ac- cording to President k. B. Ogilby of Trinity college, who spoke at the meeting Of the New Britain Rotary club at the Burritt hotel today.
 Dr. Ogilby was introduced by Charles F. Chase. Mr. Chase called attention to the wide range of prices over period of years, illustrating Increased costs of education. He au- nounced as Dr. Ogilby's subject 'Js College Education Worth the Cost ?"
 Discussing the cost Of a college education, Dr. Ogilby says it costs slS,O00 today for one student to go through college. This is distributed In the following manner:
 The average expense, paid by the student himself amounts to about S1,OOO g. year. Endowment funds and other supplementary incomes provide for salaries Of instructors another S1,00O per student yearly. Upkeep and cost of buildings aver age another s1,0oO per year. The exemption from taxes, which means additional distribution of costs among the taxpayers, brings the fig ure up to $500 a year more.
 The loss of industry for four years, based on the average produc- tive earning power Of students amounts to another s1,0OO per year, making a total Of s4,500 a year or s1S,0O0 for a four year course.
 That the people of United States are beginning to appreciate the value of education regardless nf the cost, he said, is indicated in the fact that during the past % years the population of the United States has increased 70 per cent while the at tendance in the colleges has in creased more than 500 per cent,
 Sometimes we get worried about the wild youth of today" he said, They are not so bad although they are rather naive and frank"
 He continued to point out that education is essential by stating that in a democracy like the United State we need trained leadership. In science we need men who can eX- ert an uplifting influence" He said education helps to increase a per sons earning capacity and brings to him values which cannot be meas ured in salaries or pay envelopes.
 Be prepared to understand that upon the education of the youth of today" he said.
 Next Thursday the Rotary club will have its annual Christmas party.

IS LP,-Specula- tive interest in today's stock market vas confined largely to select group Of coppers and specialties, several of which were bid up in spirited fash ion under pool manipulation. The general list displayed less general strength than heretofore, apparently due to nervousness created by the recent collapse of few specialties and fears of another large increase in brokers loans
 Coppers continued to respond to reports of improving trade condi- tons under the leadership of Ana conda, which sold at the highest price in five years. Calumet & Hec- la, Nevada, Kennecott, and Dome mines also reached new high ground, and Homestead mines jumped near ly points.
 One of the most sensational move ments of the day took place in the Continental insurance issues. The old stock ran up from 276 to BOP and the new stock, which was admitted 10 trading today, opened at "A 1-2, advanced to SC 1-2 and fell to 7s.

News in general was con- structive. including the improvement in steel inquiry for first quarter de- livery and the increase in the No Vember foreign trade balance. Some Of the buying doubtless reflected dis trlbution today of some s150.OOO,- GOO in dividend and interest pav- ments.
 U. s. Steel sold up a point in the first half hour or so and two points gains were recorded by Rossia h. surance, Timken Roller Bearing, Mackay Company, Gotham Silk Hosiery and Canadian Pacific. Early strength was displayed by some Of the coppers, utilities and by Dodge Brothers Preferred, Mathie- son Alkali and American Steel Foundries.
