Pay Their Way.
(Toledo Blade.)
John D. Rockefeller Jr., who recently declared against large endowments for colleges and who advised students to work or borrow money to pay college expenses, may find something worth reading in findings of the Federal Bureau of Education.
Of the entire enrollment in 408 colleges and universities in the United States last year, 39 per cent. of the students were partially or wholly self-supporting. A total of $25,500,000 was earned by the students of these institutions.
Forty-four per cent. of those in co-educational institutions earned their way, and a third of the students in men's colleges and a sixth of those in women's colleges earned at least part of their expenses.
They are the "life is real, life is earnest" boys and girls, and not the well-dressed drones.
