Russian Girls
Work Twice As
Hard as Boys
By VICTOR w. KNAUTH
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent)

MOSCOW, May 13.-The age-o old
question of who has TO work hard
est, the girls or tie boys, has been
answered IN ia !or of the girls by
u survey of hte way four tnousaIu
R"sSian chiidien spend the twenty
four hours of eacn day. The girls
worh one AMI one-half times as hard
as the boys, IN the Soviet Union at
least.
Ihe reIort showed that Soviet
children spend thirty-eight percent
OF their lelsurc time playing games
and slXty percent in taking
walks. On y one half of one pcrccnt
of their free time is passed in mov-
-LS plctuc theatres or Cticr enter
tainments OF lhe sort. Dolls for the
girls have almost lcst the " charm
entirely.
The survey, including four thous-
and children from every sort Of
family environment, divided the
home work of the boys and girls.
Running crrands is the principal
i'ehi' 'HIit Iour percent OF all tue
home work. busting, washing floors
and other domestic chores come
second in Importance, twenty-f four
percent. Washing and wiping dish
es, cooking, setting table and clean
ing up after meals occupy third
place with sixteen percent. The
family laundry is mostly for the
girls to do and this accounts for
twelve percent of all the home
labors, exactly the sames proportion
allotted to taking care of younger
brothers and sisters, also principal
ly the work of the girls. Mending
and darning clothes, work for girls,
and tending animals, drawing wat.
cr and splitting kindling wood, work
for boys, balance each other, each
being one percent of all the house
work.
The sports include hockey, skat-
ing, skiing and shedding as the win
ter S favorite pastimcs, and swim
ming and rowing in summer. Tie
boys also play football as much rs
possible and handball has been win
ming favor.

EDUCATOR SAYS
COLLEGE IS NOT
FOR EVERYONE

vt this moment, in this country,
there is II vast, earnest army of
parents imbued with a single am
bition and striving hard for one
common end-that they may be
able, when the time comes, to send
their children to college.
According to official statistics,
this army of wellmeaning mothers
and fathers numbers several mil
lions. and there is many battle
against need, and many a sacrifice,
along its front. The mother who is
saving from her back her table and
her play; the father who is working
nights and wearing last year 5 suit, ,
the widow who has mortgaged her
house that Jack may go to college
all these are there.
''Praiseworthy sacrifices. is
the ordinary feeling toward these
parents.
Tragic!" is the word used by
President Fauncc, of Brown Univcr.
sity, in the American Magazine. He
explains:
"Our common belief that college
training is suited for every boy, and
every boy for college, is one of the
truly great tragedies of American
life today. Fully half the boyl
whom these wcll-mcaning parents
send to college would be better off
if they had never come.
Every parent should consider
very carefully this essential ques-
ton: Is college worth four years
out of my boys lifc'
In fifty per cent of all cases,
the answer should be No.
colleges do not create capacity
for understanding; they demand il,
They are not designed for the pure
ly practical-mindcd, nor for the
youth who desires merely to do,
rather than to think aud comprc-
hcnd
"lt is no disgrace to be of the
uon,collcgo typc-that is, not of tho
type for which college is designed.
Not every man is suited to be a
lawyer, or doctor, or n machinist
or miner. Then why should wr
believe that every boy born under
the sun, with enough money to pay
4 his tuition, is suited to be college
/ student2
1 "a father told me, My boy must
bc queer; he docsn' t like college.
In this standardized age, what we
need are queer men. Give us more
of them! Men who dare to be diff
ferent, who dare to question, &Ao
dare to get from the beaten path

Consumers Would
Profit Greatly BY
Rail-Barge Rates

Chicago. Jan. 21.--(R)-Consumer
in the upper Mississippi valley would
profit greatly by through rail-barge
rates asked by the Mississippi War
rior Service, Theodore Brent, traf-
fic manager, testified today before
the Interstate Commerce Commission
examiner, John II. Howell.
A saving of $.12O ton on agricul-
tural implements, $1.70 on furniture,
81 on iron and steel and $500 to
1910 on class rate articles would be
effected, he said.
The barge line asks of the rail
roads in Indiana, Illinois, Missouri
and Iowa the same cooperation in
establishing through freight rates as
is enjoyed in the southern branch of
its service, said N. D. Belnap, at
torney for the company. The COM
bination rates on the southern points
were put into effect at the order of
the interstate commerce commission
Mr.. Belnap declared, and the present
complaint, filed by the barge line,
requests the commission to require
four railroads to interchange freight
with it at Dubuque, Iowa.
Without the rail-water rates asked,
Mr.. Brent testified, the upper Mis-
sissippi service would be useless. For
the business to pay, it would be nee
essary for the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy, the Chicago and Great
Western, the Illinois Central and the
Chicago, Milwaukee and. St. Paul rail-
roads to agree to rail-water rates
which would be less than all rail
rates by 20 per cent of the rail rate
from Dubuque to St. Paul and
Minneapolis.
