EARLY COLLEG|ANS
HELD NOT "P|OUS'
Only 18 of 62 Were So Listed
at Columbian College
109 Years Ago.
BY THOMAS r.. HENRY.

The students at Columbian College,
in the District of Columbia"
George Washington University-must
have been bad lot 100 years ago.
There were 50 of them and only l8
of the lot were listed by the American
Education Society in its 1924 report
as "pious." The rest, presumably. could
lay no claim to piety. But even at that
the little college makes an exemplary
showing compared with Harvard, then
the biggest college in North America,
which had only nine "pious" students
out of total of 302, and had not had
a religious revival since l740 The
impietv of Columbian College hardly
could be attributed to such neglect, for
there had been big revival there only
year before.
DR.. John r. Swanton, Smithsonian
Institution ethnologist, came across the
old report on the status of American
colleges yesterday while examining files
of the oficial journal Of the American
Missionary Society for reports Of mis-
sionaries on Indian tribes. 1t apparent

affairs Of the American Education So

Education Costs High"
Mounting costs for board, room and
tuition for the best education America
afforded at the time, that Of the New
England group of colleges, where the
society educated most Of its proteges,
were draining heavily on the society's
Golfers.
The total cost Of a years education
at Dartmouth was listed at $i5l-which
included $1.38 a week for board, s31
for tuition, SIG for room, etc. Am
herst, alma mater Of Calvin Coolidge,
charged the society only s1.05 week
for the board Of the prospective mis-
sionaries. The total costs at Amherst,
however, were $l12 a year, while little
Middlebury in Vermont offered bar
gain rate of $l01 a year. although it
was forced to charge $l.22 week for
board.
Harvard. even then, was college
for rich mems sons-the cheapest at
which student could meet all expenses
there without uncomfortable economies
being $251 a year. A good deal Of
this was represented in the outrageous
rate of $193 week for board. But
even if the charges had been reason
able, according to 1924 standards, the
American Education Society hardly
would have exposed its boys to SO i'm
pious an atmosphere.
Term Is Not Defined.
The term "pious" is not defined In
the report and presumably the impious
students, according to the well under
stood terminology Of the day, were
those who were not studying for the
evangelical ministry. Harvard, even
then, was impregnated with Unitarian
ism and was frowned upon by the older
churches.
Yale had a much better record. OF
its 800 students. lis were "pious," and

Approximately 10000 persons
were killed in the United States
during 1892 as a result of acci-
dents, and 100000 were injured.
Accidents last year causing per
sonal injuries and deaths were re-
sponsible for the payment of
$120,000,000. The economic loss
to the nation as a result of acci-
dents amounted to $4,000, ,00O, 900.
Fire insurance companies in the
United States paid losses during
1882 aggregating nearly one-half
billion dollars.
About $4,000 persons were
killed in automobile accidents
alone last year.
Insurance Need Shown
The above figures prove the
necessity for casualty and fire in
Surance protection. These statiS-
tics also prove the important part
insurance plays in business.
Without insurance, it would be i'm
possible to carry out the gigantic

Accident Insurance Need
Emphasized by LOOMS

casualty and fire insurance pro-
tects individuals or businesses
against the unknown hazards of
life. The ability to perform and
carry out the terms of a contract
is the vital thing in insurance in
aSmuch as a contract is an aSSur-
ance to pay certain sums of
money or to do certain things if
and when certain contingencies
arise.
Really a Necessity
Because insurance is an intang-
ible thing, some people have the
mistaken idea that when a man
pays his premium he does not
get his moneys worth unless
there is a loss. Others believe
insurance is luxury and should
be dropped from the family
budget whenever expenses must
be cut.
Insurance is not a luxury, but
rather a necessity. All other
financial calculations could be
knocked sky-high by one over
sight in a mans insurance pro-
lection. Without insurance, many
businesses could find it impos-
Sible to obtain capital, and many
an individual or corporation
after a long and proSparoIs
career may have to start all

Early steadineSs in the market

yesterday. This brought some sell

Heavy selling broke out in the
tobaccos almost Immediately aft

American tobacco bore the brunt
of this while Reynolds and Loril-
lard were weak. Persistence of the
rumors regarding cigarette prices
was responsible.
The whole market was easy in
sympathy, with losses running to
around a point. Gold shares were
an exception, a run-up Of 2 points
in HomeStake and the decline in
the rest of the market reviving
pool activity in this section.
