we have had cheating since the
beginning of man, in the time
of Cheops when property owners
established property lines with
markers on which were inscrib
ed curses on any one who mov

i That there is an increase in
1 the number of 'those found cheat -

j tion; further there has been a
] tremendous increase in the num

schools and colleges, say com
; pared with 1900; so that in the
normal course of events there
has been an increase in the
numbers of those found cheat
ing: whether there is an in
crease percentagewise is difficult
to ascertain. There are new de
velopments, however, peculiar to
[ the times in that there have been
substitutes who have taken
examinations for students and in
addition ghost writers for those
(taking advanced degrees, the'
! ghost writers developing 'the re
i search and facts and writing the ]
theses for masters’ and doctors’
degrees. This seems to 'be a
recent development. Then there
has developed a so-called “de

gree mill” where for an agreed
amount of money, you may ob
tain any degree from a non
existence college. This latter de
velopment has the Federal Gov
ernment concerned for most of
the business of these so-called
‘‘mill degree non-existence col
lebes” is with foreigners an
xious to obtain college degrees
for ulterior purposes.
Inasmuch as present effects
are the result of causes rooted
in the past, let us examine some
of the probable causes of the so
called increase in cheating. Dur
ing World War I an attempt was
made to create moral character
by legislation and the Prohibi
tion Amendment was passed. A
great many people who nevei
used alcohol in any form re
sented being told by the govern
ment that they could not drink
alcoholic beverages and deter
mined to have their dz-inks re
gardless of how they were ob
tained. This led ito the making
of bathtub gin and other home
made liquors; also rum runners
started to smuggle liquor into
the country and thezl developed
the gang system from which we
still suffer. This, of course, was
cheating, but everybody took it
as normal. In a sense that was
a break down of moral character
and respect for the law of the
land. Then the Federal income
tax has been the cause of a
great deal of resentment; what
were considered as war taxes are
still continued long after the
termination of the war. People
resent having such a large pro
portion of their income taken by
govei-nment and men in all
walks of life, in every profession,
have been cheating on their tax
es for years. To them this is
not cheating but an attempt to
keep some of their own income
and property from the govern
ment. This is bound 'to increase
as the number jot various taxes
aze inez-eased and the taxpayer
is squeezed moz-e and more by
the various types of Federal,
State and local governments.
Then in the field of business
there has been and always will
be some form of cheating. The
anti-trust laws are constantly
Droken. A short time ago three
large corporations were compet
ing for a certain contract, and
used every means above and be
low board to obtain the contracts, 1
sozne of the means were reported
in a national magazine. Then
just z-ecently five large electrical
contractors were accused of
combinizig to fix prices. They
pleaded no defense, which is
tantamount to a plea of guilty.
In a recent survey conducted
by a prominent mid-western uni
versity, stizdents, without de
vulging their names, admitted
that they cheated and one of
Ihe reasons given was ‘that
everybody cheated on incomes
and other forms of cheating and
why shouldn’t they cheat to get
by if adult people did it and
got by with it.
In education it may 'be a more
serious thing inasmuch as a per-
