CASH VALUATION IMPOSSIBLE.
Following the latest estimation of
the value of a college course as $72,
000, comes William E. Henderson,
dean of the College of Arts of Ohio
State, with a statement that he does
not believe a college education can
be given a definite cash value.
"Although an education increases
the earning capacity of a man," the
Ohio State Lantern quotes Dean
Henderson, "the increase is not due
entirely to advanced learning. It is
not possible to give it a specific
value. It is only the more intelligent
person who takes advantage of a
high school education. It is the
brightest of the high school gradu
ates who take a college course, and
it is a question as to whether it is
really the education that increases
the earning capacity or whether
these people, through their natural
ability, would earn more even though
they did not enjoy the advantages of
a high school or college education,
or both. These factors must be taken
into account, although there is no
doubt that education is of great
value in the business world."
If the estimate of the income of
the untrained man $1200 was de
termined from figures including sta
tistics on the earnings of ignorant
immigrants and illiterates, in Dean
Henderson's opinion, the report is
hardly fair to the man who has com
pleted gTammar school, or to those
who have become fairly well inform
ed through their own initiative.
Dean Henderson's ideas are sound.
He would not be the dean of Ohio
State college of arts if his ideas were
not sound. He has pointed out a
weakness in the figures that were
used to calculate the cash value of a
college education. Men of equal
ability were not compared, and so
the difference in earnings can hardly
be attributed entirely to the college
education. One man of average abil
ity plus one college education, minus
any one man who has no college edu
cation, does not leave a college edu
cation as remainder.
The dean probably had another
idea that the reporter failed to re
cord. There are more things in life
than money. A college education, if
it does not result in increased earn
ings, broadens a man's intellectual
outlook give him interests in living
that wealth can never provide of it
self. The economic professor's esti
mates of cash value are useful; they
convey to those who never attended
university some idea of the actual
intrinsic value of such attendance.
The real worth of a college, however,
remains in the cultural value of the
training it gives its students.
INFLUENCE OF CIRCULATION
Student opinion records today that
the influence of a newspaper cannot
be measured by its circulation. This
is probably true in many cases. It is
likely, however, that the paper read
by the most person has the most
influence; the press molds public
opinion. An interesting example of
this influence of big circulation is
found in a different field, that of
advertising. The brand that is the
most widely advertised, if it is at
least as good as other verities of the
same commodity, usually is in great
er demand than those other commod
ities. Certain newspaper consolidations
are looked on with disfavor because,
experts say, they tend to lessen di
versity of opinion. This is accom
plished, they say, through one man's
control of a number of papers. But
this all points to the influence exert
ed by large circulation. It is true
that the naper with the larger circu
lation is not always the better, but
it usually exerts more influence.

QUANTITY VERSUS METHOD IN
SPORTSMANSHIP.
After looking at the large-gauge
pump guns that kill everything in
sight regardless of the hunter's
marksmanship, and the ornamental
bait so loaded with hooks that the
fish aren't even given a fighting
chance, one wonders if the measure
of sportsmanship isn't getting to be
the quantity of game rather than the
methods used.
There are parts of the country
where a man who would shoot a
quail on the ground or a turkey on
a roost would be considered too low
to be fit for human companionship.
Yet, every year there are scores of
quail and turkeys shot in just that
manner.
Good sportsmanship in fishing
used to consist of the ability to
catch a fish with one hook, and then
to fight a game fight with him to
get him out of the water. With
these ornamental hooks that snag
all comers so that there isn't even a
possibility of losing one's catch, the
zest of the sport is gone, but the
creels are filled.
It is such men as these that are
rapidly killing off the wild game of
this country. They forget that the
generations to come have as much
right to a day's sport in the field a3
we do now. They forget, or do not
care, that the unfair methods that
they are using are a detriment to
the life of the game as well as to
sportsmanship.
Unless such organizations as the
Izaak Walton League are able to
secure more fish and game preserves
and more strict legislation against
such methods of hunting as have
been mentioned, there will be no
game in a few years. Columbia

we do on him who makes the most
and the cheapest.
The journalism class at the Uni
versity of Nebraska was only repre
sentative of the trend of thought
throughout the whole country. And
as the professor exclaimed, how
"foolish" it is.
JOHN DOE.
Ten Years Ago
The Cornhuskers defeated the
Coyotes of Nebraska Wesleyan 42
to 7. The game was characterized
as "interesting and somewhat spec
tacular," although most of the Ne
braska players were substitutes. The
Wesleyan score was the result of a
fumble on the part of the Corn
hnskera which was picked up by a
linesman who ran twenty yards to
the touchdown.
New dance regulations for the all-
university parties had been tried out
and it was claimed by some that the
ninnmirea of the party were almost
spoiled by the numerous regulations.
Tickets had been sold in advance ana
nn r-nnnlfi was asked to go home be
cause they presented a ticket that
had not been sold to them. On the
dance floor several couples were re
quested to be careful about their
dancing although they claimed that
thav wpre doincr nothing but the
straight "Boston." One couple was
requested to leave the hall.

AWAY FROM IMITATIONS
The annual ducking of fresh
men on Hallowe'en by the seniors
of New York University was "the
best ever seen" the daily of the insti
tution records in the words of the
director of student welfare. The
freshmen, clad in pajamas, were pa
raded in military formation through
the streets of the city and then were
thrown into a fountain, dragged out
and rolled in mud. The University
band headed the parade and co-eds
followed to "see the fun." The fresh
men were dipped "into the Fountain
of Knowledge and emerged full
fledged New York University men."
Out here in the west we have a
peculiar point of view. Few of the
freshmen would submit to such a
proceeding. Sophomores had trouble
last fall in getting one man to wear
a green cap. Most Nebraskans find
it hard to see how such ridiculous
customs change freshmen into col
lege men.
Peculiar tasks set for new mem
bers of an organization may be trac
ed to ancient trials of candidates. On
the Nebraska campus paddling is
still a popular pastime. But the
tricks fraternity freshmen used to go
through have disappeared, at least
from public places. Most organiza
tions now restrict even the paddling
of new members.
., Nebraska seems to have progress
ed as far as any university toward
elimination of senseless initiations by
SIZE.
A University instructor in journal
ism recently asked his students how
they would measure the influence of
a newspaper.
"By the circulation," promptly re
plied one young man.
"Does the rest of the class agree?"
Every hand went up.
"But what a foolish answer to
give!" exclaimed the professor. "You
know as well as I do that the news
paper with the largest circulation is
seldom, if ever, the one that is uni
versally believed, that is trusted, that
has a reputation for the highest in
tegrity. "You fall into the same error that
is made by nine-tenths of the Ameri
can people. You constantly onfuso
quantity with quality. You see only
interior motives, the causes, vhe
the ulterior size, over-looking the
qualities that really make a hing
good or bad. You would say that be
cause a paper is big, it is a jreat
paper; because many people buy it,
many people will follow its advice
when they go to the polls. In an
ideal state, the best paper would, of
course, have the largest circulation.
But in this day and age, the poorest
paper is more likely to be the bigge?t
seller."
It was a striknig inditement of the
American people. How seldom we
boast of the quality of our institu
tions, as compared to the frequency
with which we call them "gigantic,"
"tremendous," "enormous," or the
"largest in the world." In every pol
itical speech we hear glowing descrip
tions of the size of our country, the
amount of our exports, our wheat
crop, and our wheat crop, and our
manufacturing industries. Henry
Ford is one of the most popular men
in the United States primarily be
cause he makes the most automobiles
and has the most money. We do not
lavish nearly the praise on the man
who makes the best automobiles that
