DOES COLLEGE EDUCATION PAY? "The commercial spirit which made great strides throughout has the country, so much so that in past years it has been customary for academic bred men to apologize for their learnin when tiiey rose to address an audience, has risen and fallen. And in every walk of life the man of academic training has been sought as the means of rescue." Thus spoke Iloscoo Pound, dean of the law school of the University of Nebraska Thursday night at an alumni banquet of the graduates of the Nebraska University. The learned professor apparently had overlooked the fact that 100 men now a days receive academic educations where one could boast of such in the past. It therefore follows that it may not necessarily be the training a man acquires in college that fits him for the positions In the walk of life he chooses or which chooses him. Without Intending to decry higher education as an abtract proposition it is as well to be practical and look the situation squarely in the face. There are certain professions and avocations where a classical education or scientific training, only to be acquired in a university or college is absolutely essential to success. In letters, law, medicine or the ministry for example, the man with the greatest educational advantages comes out on top, everything else being equal In the way of brain and other natural gifts. The man with the capacity to learn and remember what he has learned can make no mistake in going to school as much as possible, if he is to follow any of the callings enumerated. In case hi3 education can be acquired at not too great a sacrifice of time and effort this does not apply ho emphatically as in that of a young man whose "folks" are in no position to help him and pay his expenses through school. There is no question that a college education contributes to the poise and assurance of its possessor and this is always a desirable nsset to any young man. But many a. mistaken youth who has had ambitions unbacked by ability other than patience and pcrscrveranco has spoiled a first class mechanic to make a mighty poor professional man. He lias wasted years, half learning things which have unfitted him for manual labor. A college bred man fancies he must work with his brain and the result is that brains mediocre ones are a drag on the market while manual labor is at a premium. Many a young man who should have been an intelligent plumber or carpenter spends years of his life working ona year at an occupation which at best is but a makeshift in order to earn enough by scrupulous saving to put himself through a term at college Thus he spreads over a term of several years the process of education which under right conditions should take him half the time to acquire, working here and there at a variety of occupations between terms, o- year in and th next year out ' college and all to what end? To .nd after all his sacri fice he has spent his youth which he should hav-? devoted to gaining prac tical experience in his life's vocation in a variety of underpaid positions which have taught him nothing. -Other thousands undertake to study "and work at the same time and hundreds of these thousands die of over work while other hundreds undermine their health in the process. It is all very well to prate of n ..--verance winning. It does win ;. n backed up by ability. But the w r'.d is full of college bred men who are serving as underpaid clerks and poor ones at that, and in all manner of positions where college education is wasted, because they lack the skill and the courage to go into tlelds of labor for which nature originally endowed them. 'DEBATE over dance halls stops. Garbage discussion," says the Chicago Tribune this morning. We should think that those subjects need scarcely interfere with each other. Both are equally rotten.

NEW YORK LETTER. New York, April 20. A typical Sat urday market for stocks. There were periods of five minutes at a time when the ticker remained lifeless. The actual trade in St. Paul for the entire session did not exceed Ave hundred shares of stocks and the fluctuations for the day confined themselves to one-half a point. Even the professional element neglected the market. As there were very few opportunities to secure a profit on either side of such a dull market, the scalpers and room traders were not present in very large numbers believing that the market would not do anything either way until Monday. The bank statement was somewhat of a surprise inasmuch as a very credi table document was expected, but the one issued did not help the market materially. An increase of $25,000,000 in the loan Item and a loss in the reserves combined with an increase of only $26,000,000 in deposits while about $30,000,000 was expected had a disappointing effect upon the bulls who bought stocks yesterday in anticipa tion of a very favorable statement. Its effect, however, upon the market was only momentarily. A little selling in Heading and Union Pacific appeared after it3 publication which depressed these two stocks about a half a point, which was quickly regained. The only features of an otherwise uninteresting market was a fair rally in the Hill stocks and Northwestern common. In the last half hour of the session Great Northern scored an advance of three points; Northern Pacafic two and one-half and Northwest ern about two. Timid shorts buying back their contracts was ascribed as the cause of the strength. The firmer tone in these issues produced a little more cheerful feeling throughout the roster and closed the market with a fair semblance of strength. JEW YORK STOCK MARKET Descp.

Frosts throughout the winter wheat belt and further bad crop reports from various sections of the southwest had a strengthening tendency for all of the wheat futures. Prices ruled higher but on the advance considerable profit taking by holders of wheat appeared. This was in a measure readily observed and did not cause but silght recessions in values. The trade Is gradually working over to the more distant futures. July and September options being the leading speculative favorites at present. Receipts In the northwest were considerably larger than a year ago. Speculative sentiment in that quarter con tinues bearish upon the general crop situation. The market closed strong with a fair rally for the day. CORN" Strong and higher. Quite a line of short May corn was covered around 4 8 cents. This Is the highest price la some time. Shorts in that feature are displaying some anxiety over the email stocks of contract corn at this market. Cash demand for corn shows gradual Improvement each day and better and contract demand la reported. The mar-

HEARD ON THE BOURSE

The market today was a continuation of that of yesterday, very dull and steady, with no news either way to effect it. Expect a dull traders harder tendency, but on would sell some stocks, be no run-a-way market market, with strong spots as there will yet. ihe stock market is narrow and there are no real stocks around, and I cannot be bearish under these condi tions. Miller. A fairly good sign is the steady ab sorption or nigu grade investment stocks, such as Northwest and Great Northern. Market very dull, nothing doing, but watch sales. I am not doing a thing The news is all bearish. J. B. Walker, lhere Is some reflection in the Lon don cables this morning of the im proved tone or our list last night, but conditions abroad are generally better, and the English situation has been made especially so by certain redu( tions in taxation which it is believed will encourage investment. w nat ousiness tnere was today was confined to the traders on the floor The traders who sold stocks short In the morning had to pay more for them this afternoon. The tendency of th market was strong and although dull stocks do not come out. The short nterest continues very large. Simon says: "There is no pressure of stocks this a. m. A little short covering and traders feel bullish, especially on U. P. and Steel. Edey Brown & Sanderson buying Atchison, said to be for C. D. Barney. U. V. was most active stock, it has been largely bought In the past few days by Thos. Denny & Co., and other houses whoso buying is regarded by traders as important." Recent letters cover the situation. The market has run into that dull period which we forecasted to precede a bull campaign. The next big general movement will be upward, j-ou can re ly; prices are not likely to decline much more than fractions meanwhile. All conditions are favorable even to the bearish attitude of traders. Just let everybody become convinced that lower prices are inevitable, and we will get some of the finest advances which you have ever seen. Ridgley. Stocks are a little stronger today, but there i3 nothing of importance in the situation to cause fluctuations and It would seem as though the changes arise largely from the disposition of the room traders. The business of the street has been unusually light and It almost seems as if we were entering in upon a season of summer dullness. Without doubt, the volume of business will be small, although perhaps not of the very slender dimensions recorded today. It looks as if this market was slowly getting into a more healthy condition in the sense that people are beginning to attend to their own affairs and take a less anxious view of the general situation, admitting a distinct restoration of confidence and lack of that senti mental anxiety which was so conspicu ous here a month ago. If we can re store the financial equilibrium by disabusing the minds of many people of the impression which has become so general, that our railroads are not going to be prosperous, then we will have an Increasing demand for railroad bonds and notes. Although it has become a custom to speak of the recent violent and se vere declines as an "episode" refusing to qualify as a panic, jTet those who were in Wall street must realize that, while it may have differed from cer tain other panics in its philosophy, the result was about as disastrous as al most any or mem. it will take us, therefore, quite a3 long to recover from It, and unless people are willing to exercise patience and to Invest their money In securities which will pay them carrying charges, why they must wait a long time before a satisfactory improvement can be recorded. Ulti mately it will come, and the pendulum will once more swing back, and this i market will take on a bullish tone Just as it has lately had and one of great depression. The American security markets, how ever, will probably continue more or less influenced by crop news and the constant agitation of federal control and investigation of corporate manage ments. There is also a prospect of j call by the treasury department of so cial deposits made last fall with the banks of about $30,000,000, which could be easily met by these Institutions, and in view of the present policy of the ad ministration under the workings of the Aldrich bill such a withdrawal should not influence the money market ad versely. Two court decisions, one by the Supreme Court of the State of Illi nois against the sale of street railway certificates by the city of Chicago for the rjumose of municipal ownership of street railways, and another by the V S. Circuit court of Chicago In the shape of an order by which the B. & O. will take up the bonds of the Chicago Terminal Co., are market of interest. Courage a ureat Quality. Whether you be men or women, you will never do anything In the world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind, next to honor. James Allen. Few Call Attention to It. You never hear a inan who had only $50 when he was married boa3tlng about it before his yearly income passes the J10.000 mark.
