Work-and-Study Programs Becoming Popular

lege. The length Of time q
student works varies In diff
ferent colleges.
In some institutions all CO.
OPP students go to work at the
same time. The essential fea-
ture is not the pairing Of stu
dents but the alienation be-
tween Job and school.
The coop plan originally
was designed for the education
of engineers, but it has gone
beyond that now. It is finding
increasing favor In schools of
business administration. 1t has
been extended to architecture,
science, education, home eco
Monies. the arts and sciences
and other fields. 1t has also
found acceptance in junior col
leges and at the graduate
level. Cooperative students are
able to earn a greater than
average share Of their college
expenses. A few cooperative
students can finance all their
college education through their
earnings. College might be i'm
possible for half Of the CO.
operative students without this
help.
Well Worth Extra Time

get a four-year education, but
it will be well worth the extra

has been instituted by the Col
lege Of Insurance, $50 william
street, New York SO, N. Y.
Students are permitted to earn
$4,000 or more during his work
periods.
As a management trainee of
an insurance company, a stu
dent attends the college for
four months, then works for
his employer for the next four
months, and continues to al
ternate these study and work
periods. While the student
works, his employer pays him
the going rate for the Job he
holds.
Though tuition scholarships
vary in amounts, companies
generally pay half the tuition
costs. Students who remain
with their companies for two
years past their graduation are
often the recipients Of still an
other tuition-remission scholar
ship which equals in amount
that part Of the tuition which
they had paid over the five
year period.
Thus, the student has a.
chance to receive a 100 per
cent tuition scholarship, and
to earn 100 per cent Of his
expenses.

If you are worried at rising
college costs, you may be able
to work your way through col.
lege by enrolling in the work
study plan. Known as the CO.
operative education program
this plan permits students tt
go to college part time anC
work part time.
A record number of 10000
men and women are now ir
this work-study program in
Sc colleges and universities
throughout the United States
Although most of the work Is
done in the engineering schools
a number of liberal arts col
leges now participate.
The National Commission fol
Cooperative Education h a
been set up recently to expand
the number of colleges in this
program. Within 10 years, the
commission predicts, $4,000 stu
dents will be In the work study
groups In 100 colleges. And
there is no reason why this
number should not double
again.
The cooperative plan has
had a healthy growth since its
inception In 1905 by Dean Her
man Schneider of the Univer-
sity of Cincinnati. In that year
Cincinnati enrolled 81 coop
students in engineering.
Basically the coop plan is
defined as an integration OF
classroom work and practical
industrial experience. Students
alternate periods Of attendance
at college with periods Of en-
ployment In industry. business
or Government.
Pairs Alternate
The employment constitutes
a regular and essential part
Of the college program. Some
minimum amount Of employ
ment and minimum standard
of performance are included In
the requirements for a degree
Most always the plan requires
that the students employment
be related to some phase OF
the branch or field Of study
In which he is engaged.
This Is the way the coop
plan usually operates: A full
time Job in an Industrial con-
Germ or Governmental agency
is shared by two students. One
works while his partner at
tends college. At the end Of a
week, q month or three months,
the two change places.
Thus the job is kept con-
tinuously filled; each student
