Work-Experience in College Opens
New Viistas for Education

the world in which our graduates
will live and work.
We feel that this vitalizing of the
academic training can best be done
by some form of WORK EXPERT
ENCE, while in college.
At Pennsylvania COLES &c for
Women, we consider the work eX-
perience primarily as educational,
secondarily as vocational.
Our aim is higher than to prepare
our students merely to earn living.
1t is to teach them how the COM
munity works and how they, as
educated individuals, can contribute
to their community.
1t is to teach them self-discipline
and sense of responsibility and the
hard-Iearned art of getting along
with people.
To the students of womens col
lege, the work participation is par
ticularly necessary, for many of
them will marry soon after gradu-
alton and will never have that
humanizing experience of working
for the other fellow, if they do not
have it in college.
Of course, the college-Work pro-
gram may also be vocational and
must be combined with a strong
counseling service, which can lead
students into or out of work they
may or may not like as lifetime
careers.
But mainly, it will be educational;
it will bridge the gap between the
academic and the practical and will,
we hope, develop citizens who will
accept the responsibilities which
education places upon them.
And so we at Pennsylvania Col
lege for Women believe that the col
lege work program will help to open
new vistaS for education and new
hope for the future.

= st newspapers and their
L publisher, MI. William Randolph
Hearst, have received an expression
of appreciation from War Finance
Committee authorities for their EN-
phasis upon the Importance of war
bond purchases in the smaller de
nominations during the Fifth War
Loan drive.
The appeal TO the small war bond
purchaser, not only IN the special
war loan drives but in the continuing
sale of federal securities essential to
successful prosecution of the war, is
undoubtedly Of vast Importance.
The response of the American
people TO this important appeal is
also vastly gratifying.
BY their loyal response, the
people haze shotVn their understand
ing Of the purposes for rOhich the
war is being fought, their acceptance
of the patriotic obligation the con-
Rict puts upon them, and their un-
swerUing determination TO fulfill that
obligation.
There are many reasons why
small war bond purchases, and the
total of all war bond sales to indi-
viduals, are important.
AS Mr.. P R. Haulenbeek, chair
man of the War Finance Committee
savings bank division, asserts IN his
telegram to Mr.. Hearst the country
"needs such individual sales to battle
imitation. "
That is surely good reason.
But the BEST of all reasons for
the small war bond purchase is that
it offers effective participation in the
war effort to people of small means.
The small war bond purchase
represents the greatest SACRIFICE
the people are making for the war.
1t comes out of the smallest wages
and incomes.
1t compels denial of luxurles,
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-07-13
The Small War Bond

comforts and conveniences in family
groups where the enjoyment of those
things is even normally all too rare.
1t is a proportion of wages and
income which the purchaser cannot
divert from the necessities of his
family without restriction and even
impairment of the standards by
which it is entitled to live.
The small war bond purchase is
therefore sacrifice TO the war effort
above and beyond the means of the
purchaser and his family.
This is the type of patriotic serv-
ice which, in the military phase of
war, is recognized and rewarded as
having special merit.
CIVILIAN sacrifice should not be
- without the recognition and re-
ward of special merit.
And the total OF CIVILIAN Sacrlnce
in this war cannot be measured IN
any better way than by the high pro-
portion of current wages which
people of limited incomes have in
vested in war bonds.
The nation should be proud of the
small war bond purchaser.
1t should be grateful to him.
For his contribution to the con-
duct and success of the war is not
what he can conveniently and COM
fortably afford, but an act of self
denial in behalf of the nation and It's
cause, in support of the armed forces
which are fighting and dying for the
nation and its cause.
1t gives him a place of great i'm
portance in the war, and place of
deserved honor.
Victory and peace will not only
reward the millions of Americans
whose war bond purchases have
meant sacrifice and denial, but in a
very substantial degree will be the
fruits of their loyalty.

T Asst nights newspapers reported
IL that the spreading strike of milk
men now affects between 100000 and
100000 Detroit homes.
Perhaps these householders would
like to know just why they are being
deprived of their usual milk supply.
Perhaps especially the families
with infants and small children
would like to understand the cause
of the strike.
Well, friends, there is no legitimate
reason, because the strike itself is
illegitimate.~
1t is not really strike at all in the

vents 100000 Detroit families from

which may occur.
And the contracts provide further
that THE FINDINGS AND DECI-
SION OF THE ARBITRATION
BOARD SHALL BE FINAL AND
BINDING ON MANAGEMENT
AND EMPLOYEES ALIKE.
In the current quarrel the parties
were unable to settle their difference
by negotiation so by mutual consent
it was sent to arbitration.
ON JULY 8 the arbitration COM
" mittee decided against the driv-
ers.
And the drivers promptly went
back on their contract and walked
out.
We repeat, that regardless of the
merits of the case, this action was
inexcusable.
If the drivers felt the arbitration
board decision was intolerable they
could appeal to the War Labor Board
for a rehearing.
Pretty good evidence that their re
pudiation of the arbitration finding
was capricious rather than justified,
is the fact that the War Labor Board
ordered them back to work.
DUT they arrogantly defed the
ID WLB back to work order In this
connection it is important to recall
that the War Labor Board was ere
ated largely upon the insistent sug-
gestion of union labor and that It's
basic function purportedly is to settle
labor management disputes and so
avoid wartime strikes.
Today more than 100000 Detroit
families can't buy milk
They can't buy milk because a few
hundred milk drivers sheer at for
maly signed and sealed contracts as
scraps of paper;
Because a few hundred milk driv
ers have a cynical disregard for their
pledged word;
Because few hundred milk driv-
ers snap their fingers at the orders
of the federal government.

it, along with other institutions,
does not bring about the reality Of
