history Of American educations.

to stale, poorly paid office routine,

Business men are realizing that
they may not be getting anything
important when they get an ad-
vertised collegiate name, and they
are scouting ability and industry.
The educators are right in the
middle of a big scholastic shake
up, and many college presidents
are sitting on the faculty lid,
which threatens to blow off unless
the colleges can be geared more
closely to reality.

above survey listed as winning
characteristic the following:
Scholarship, personality, campus
activity, popularity, character,
leadership and general ability.
That's spotting character pretty
far down in the list, but, Of
course, it is an ingredient of the
other qualifications and is a
least common denomination Of
success, depression or no depres-
sion. One often wonders how
educators can grade youngsters

'are, but what you can do" During
the boom years and well along into
the depression, it began to appear
that this pious saying was wrong.
It should have been, "The world
does not ask what you can do, but
who you are"
We all remember the lad, broad

yard run in the last minute Of play
and kept right on going, to q show

better bet in the success marathon

the college boys, but it hasn't been
quite so funny during the last six
or eight years as it used to be.
There has been real tragedy on
the campus, as the boys and girls
laid aside their caps and gowns
to buck a hostile and all but job
less world. In fact, the difficulty
of eager, intelligent youth, trying
desperately and all but hopeleSSly
to find a place in the workaday
world, has been one of the most
tragic phases Of the depression
years.
The outlook is better this year.
Commencement oratory will not
be quite the hollow n1ockery 1t
has seemed to be Of late. Both
surveys and scattered college eSti-
mates Of the job outlook disclose
the youngsters again scaling the
work barricades. Robert Day. di-
rector Of placements at North

for seniors topping last year by
20 per cent, and Is per cent more
employers scouting hired help at

BETTER OUTLOOK
Robert C. Wollner, executive
secretary of vocational guidance
at the University of Chicago, also
notes a decided increase in the
number of openings for graduates.
At this university, the figures are
running close to those Of 1880. Per
haps the most hopeful finding Of
all is that made public by an In
duStrial service bureau in New
York city. This organization finds
employment prospects only slightly
less than those Of 1929.

feeling right about the way they
glibly talk about millions in the

minds him of a story about a boy

asked him what was the matter.
The boy replied:

WHOSE OK?

Senator Bennett Champ Clark

He tells a story about the late
Judge Holman, Of Indiana, who
as chairman Of the Appropria-
lions Committee was the first
man to win the title watchdog
of the Treasury"
According to Senator Clark an
item came up proposing money
for the section Of Indiana which
Judge Holman represented and
much to the surprise Of some OF
his colleagues the judge arose ano

money despite the stanch fight

RIGHT. Mr.. President!

IN splendidy patriotic speech to the cadets of the
Texas Agricultural and Mechanical College, Presi-
dent Roosevelt fayed false pacifism and made ring
ing appeal for adequate preparedness.
Some people think Of military training in terms of
acute pacfism, - the President said "Y0U AND DO
NOT.
1--WE think of it in terms of the PRESERVATION
OF THE NATION. Our preparation is honestly made
for DEFENSE, NOT FOR AGGRESSION"
When so many misguided youths in the colleges are
hooking patriotism and declaring that under no cir
cumstances will they fight for their country the fine
example set by the R. o. T. c. and the Citizens Military
Training Camps is thus recognized by the President
himself.
The President knows what the foes of preparedness

Not Much Time

~vTTH the District subcommittee of the Senate
w Appropriations Committee starting hearings this
week on the local supply bill for next year, less than
civ 1roeks remain before the is scheduled to
go into effect.
Tn view of the many highly controversial provisions
which the bill carried it passed the House and the
likelihood that there will be prolonged dispute between
the Senate and House as the final version Of the BILL
this is woefully short time for the Senate committee
tn complete hearings TO get the bill through the Senate
to get it approved by conferees and finally to get IL
before the President. 1890
RESIDENTS OF WASHINGTON TO WHOM THE
PROVISIONS OF THE APPROPRIATION BILL ARE
OF VITAL IMPORTANCE, ARE BEAUTIFULLY
FEARFUL THAT IN THE BRIEF SPACE OF TIME
REMAINING THE MEASURE MAY BE RUSHED
AND INADEQUATE ATTENTION GIVEN TO ITS
MANY DETAILS.
The bill as it passed the House was hodge-podge
of appropriations and legislation
It is before the Senate subcommittee IN form which
would play havoc with the setup of the local govern
ment without bringing any advantages to the taxpayers
or to those served by the government
This is particularly true in regard to the provisions
concerning municipal hospitals and Fairgrounds.
The House bill takes away from the Board of Public
Welfare control the funds Of the hospitals, placing
them under the Health Department. but leaves the man
agement of the institutions under the board.
No clear case has been made out Tor disturbing the
present setup under which the board controls both the
management and finances of the hospitals and no case
has been made out at all for splitting the CONTROL
If the hospitals are be made part of the Health
Department such course should be followed only after
it has been demonstrated that the patients will be
benefited or that there will be substantial economies
THEY SHOULD NOT BE TRANSFERRED ON
WHIM OR ON PREJUDICE.
AS regards Fairgrounds, the House would transfer
some twenty of these from the Municipal Playground
Department to the Community Center Department of
the public schools.
Again no case has been made out either on the
grounds of better service greater economy for the
transfer.
These are only two of the many provisions of the
House bill which the Senate will have to revise before
anything like satisfactory can be enacted.
They are matters to revision of which the House
be expected to object.
Upon the length to which the House is willing to go
in maintaining those objections will depend whether
not the appropriation bill will be in effect by the
beginning Of the new fiscal year on July 1.
