Oman from the presidency of De Paw uni
versity.
Under his leadership De Paw is preserv-
ing the ideals of liberal education while sac
rificing nothing of principles or practices Of

A year or so ago the drive was headed
by banker whose relations to one state fund
later became a matter of official inquiry.
This year an attorney for the insult inter-
ests takes the foreground of the fight
The great difficulty from the viewpoint OF
those who dislike the doctor is the strong
possibility that graduates of De PAW may

would be very bad indeed. Therefore the

The Bonus Rlah

How much does business man have to be paid
to put forth his best efforts? Apparently, men
require vast sums to be induced to roll up their
sleeves and get down real business. Two of these
are, seemingly, Charles M. Schwab and E. p. Grace
Of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation.
Mr.. Schwab has just prepared defense of the
Bethlehem bonus system in the form of letter to
stockholders" According to Mr.. Schwab, the more
a man is paid the greater will be his efforts No
reasonable limits may be set to this rule
When he was president of the Carnegie Steel
Company Mr.. Schwab paid more than $1,OOOOO0
year by Mr.. Carnegie and he modestIy confesscs
he worth it.
since 1913 Mr.. Grace in addition to a reasonable
salary, has been paid bonus averaging $814993 a
year The largest that in 1929 namely 81 625 753
Roughly, the bonus paid has been in proportion
to the business done by the company But does
anybody believe that the oscillations in the gross
business OF the Bethlehem Steel Company have been
due primarily to Mr.. Graces energy or Incidence?
For example, in 1922 he received less than one
seventh what he did in 1929. Did he lie down on
the job in 1922? Was not his bonus in 192-$231 100
sufficient to put him under full steam?
If man on salary or bonus Of say s250o00
year, will not throw himself Loyalty into the work
OF his corporation with ZEAL then certainly he would
not for 100000.
How much does it require to bring forth the best
efforts from Lincoln, C. w. Eliot, Nicholas Murray
Butler, Roger Baldwin, Norman Thomas or John
Haynes Holmes?
On Mr.. Schwab's hypothesis, what loafing and per-
tunctory work We must get FROM say the federal su
preme court or United States senators! And what

Snajn Faces Two Ways

street fighting in Barcelona between labor groups
and troops of the Spanish government indicates that
all is not well with the new republic.
A general strike was called by the United Labor
svndcate-for what purpose is not clear from the
news dispatches. Whereupon President Macia OF the
new Catalonian republic, who apparently has modl-
fed his separatst program and taken his state into
the federated Spanish republic, turned the machine
guns on the laborites.

more friendly to labor Indeed, the new cabinet seems

they finally become SO great that
the rock layers give way.
The quake is the climax, the read

final event Of a long series.

More recently biologists have
thought it possible that our earth
has an oscillating crust, the crust
expanding over a long period of
time and then contracting over a
similar period.
It has been suggested that the
accumulation of heat from radio
active ores in the earth's crust may
cause the expansion.
An important fact is that earth
quakes are most frequent in the re-
gions where the steepest and tall
est mountains exist.
Biologists feel that these noun
tains are the youngest. They repre-
sent the portions Of the earth's crust
