WHITE COLLAR JOBS

Boys should be taught to think less of
fitting themselves for white collar" Jobs
says Prof. F. G.. Nichols of Harvard, who
points out the greater opportunities for
promotion in industry than in clerical pur-
suits
The young man who starts at the bot
tom in factory often soon outdistances
one who begins, say, as a bookkeeper. The
idea is that while the clerk or bookkeeper
may have white collar job from the very
first. the ambitious and intelligent indus
trial worker has a better chance to rise to
an executive position, so that when he does
reach the white collar job it means some
thing worth while.
Advices along similar line is given
by President Thatcher of the Massachusetts
Agricultural College. who defends voea-
tional schools against the reproach some
times leveled against them by the classical
student. He says that "the idea is
erroneous that vocational schools are UNI
dignified because they work with materials
near at hand and not with knowledge of
things that are ancient and far off"
Literally, however, the proportion of
white collar jobs is constantly increasing
With the continual advent of new machines
for doing the dirty work" of the world
the time may come when nearly everyone
may have white collar" Job.

BOGUS BENEVOLENCE

Pressure is constantly being brought
on Congress and on the immigration Bu-
reau to relax our immigration laws and to
let in various classes of people from Eu-
rope. There is likewise steady resistance
to any legislation that would check con-
slant additions to our working population
from seaman assertions, and from western
hemisphere immigration that now has no
quota limitation. This kind of immigra-
ton is now held in check only by temporary
executive orders barring persons likely to
become public charge.
Since the enactment of our quota laws
in 1924, it is estimated that over two mil
lion foreigners have been added to our
working population at a time when labor
saving devices and industrial changes were
throwing our own people out of employ
ment by the hundred thousand.
Under these circumstances, every i'm
migrant worker who has no job has had
to be supported, and every immigrant who
gets job is displacing someone already
mere who needs that job This immigra-
ton, therefore, has added just so much
to the burden that we now have to carry.
The taxpayers plight is bad enough,
but the burden falls heaviest on the thou
sands of homes where former earners are
unemployed and the savings of previous
years have been steadily melting away,
while the bitter humiliation of seeking aid
is coming nearer and nearer. 1t is the
jobs that should go to these people that
these bogus benevolents wish to present to
outsiders. 1t is these sufferers, and not
have to do the paying if we relax our ex-
ecutive orders and allow visas for admis-
sion to be given out more literally.
We hear a great deal about humaniz-
ing our immigration administration. There
Is more humbug than humanizing whe
the endeavOr is made to Oblige our consuls
to issue visas to those for whom bonds are
given guaranteeing that they will not be-
come public charge. What guarantee is
there that they will not be given the jobs
for which there is bitter need among our
own workers?
By all means let everything possible
be done for the helpless and suffering 0.
all peoples, but let it not be done in way
that will be paid for by those of our own
people on whom the present crisis is weigh
ing most heavily. Let there be humanized
administration of our immigration laws,
but let us see to it that it is the real thing.

In Daniels on Negotiable In

''The word remuneration is

of release and a release Of the
maker or surety cannot be
shown by parOl. but must be in
writing when the note has not
been surrendered"
The decision of the Maryland
court in Whitcomb VS.. National
Exchange Bank, supra, is con-
trolling in this action, as the
notes in suit are payable in Mary
land. The notes are payable in
Baltimore and the law OF the

Under the decision in Whit

In the case of Hambleton &
Co. VS.. Lane, At Law No. 83498,
a declaration was filed upon two
promissory notes. Pleas and
amended pleas were filed to the
declaration and the plaintiff now
moves for judgment under the
73rd rule because of the INSULT
cheney of the said pleas. The
cause came on for hearing before
Mr., Justice Bailey.
The defendant in his affidavit
of defense states, among other
things:
"This defendant alleges on
information and belief that
said oral agreement was there
after confirmed by correspond
ence with regard to said notes
but is attempting to do so at
the present time and expects
to locate said correspondence
before the trial of this cause
and it is his belief that said
correspondence will disclose a

ment."
