I)r. Itaifley Objects. Ne w York Times. A college education is a dist met detriment to the earning capacity of American youths; it sends person: into professions which are already ■ overcrowded and robs -them of tic t.a ring attitude which is essential tn | business success, Dr. Harold F Clark, professor of education r.t ! Teachers college, declared in a pre liminary report of nearly a year s study. He asserted the popular no t. i that every year spent hi college ,;de. a definite number of dollars to . n individual's, earning [lower was talc, and asserted that ativ appar ent income advantages of university t,r.'d!’. are tile result of "natural ability rathe' than education."

Dr. Clerk, who came to Teachers college Iasi fall to find the relation between “higher education and the average American's earning power." has spent the greater part of the time comparing results In individual cases, especially in regard to the teaching profession. In a detailed report to be presented to the school authorities at the end of the year he will probably recommend a sys tem of state control to limit the number of person.4 studying for the professions in order to keep the salaries from dropping lower and lower, "The persons w ho are eirm-ng high wages today would have made them without the help of education,” he licclafed. "You can take a number cl equally capable persons, giving one group education and putting the ether group to work. You will find then that an education does not help much, It can even have an opposite effect. Other studies when publish ed will show this. u is quite natural that If yon compare ncri-educated persons with i unrated persons you will find the let ter earning more money because that type of person is going to school today. To reveal the actual u suits of education you are oblig ed to compare two groups of equal ly capable persons. If any one thing stands out from all the ma terial it is that numbers are a de '< running factor in the economic meets of education. It cannot be too strongly emphasized that any one kmd ot education can be over sepplied .Torn the economic stand point." He said u ass education was large lv responsible tor the decrease of the earning power of educated persons. The educational system cannot af lord to be expanded indefinitely un less there is a corresponding expan sion in the number of occupations toward which it leads, he asserted. Economic maladjustment will be the ultimate result of this trend in the United States, he held. "There are about 800,000 students iii the United States in institutions of or above college grade,” he con tinued. “A large proportion, If not most, of these are preparing for the professions of law, medicine, engi neering in all its branches teaching uiMustry. doiUsU). architecture, ■u.-iuilism. and so on. The tola! i m ployed in all these profc 'ions in \ntcrtea is about twice (hi number. Wages, including salaries. are ' governed by the supply for service in relation to the demand. Is it a | leasnnablc question to ask what will i happen to professional salaries when the HOO.O(M) goes to 1.000.000 and to the almost 4.000.000 high school stu dents the attempt seems to be to try to get as many as possible in the professions and clerical occupations. Hindi day someone answers that last article lie has read, dealing with the money value of schooling ■education A Commodity. “You cannot train 100,000 people lor 90.000 jobs without creating pressure to decrease the remunera - tion of the 90.0(H). Education Is just, as much a commodity as wheat and must be governed by the laws of economics. You cannot have the l resent percentage in high schools and expect them all to go into the 'higher callings.’ If all tried to do so salaries would drop to unbeliev able levels. The higher calling might even be more overcrowded lhnn the field of unskilled labor is today." Dr. Clark criticised the “collegc persunsive" high school principals and educators as the real “educa tional criminals who are over crowding the professions." Although leading economists admit the truth (.! this theory, he blames them for playing to the popular idea of large college salaries and basing their economics on "the fallacious cbm , parison of the educated with the non-educated " “The boy with ability will get to his destination in the business world quite regardless of a college educa tion,” lie said. "A college education | or likely to make a man too pensive jej-.d hesitant for the task of money making when daring and courage arc the prime necessities. Schooling has tremendous powers of direc ting people into channels other than ithe most productive ones and doubt less had tliat effect at times in the pest. It is inevitable that in the future it will be used for educating1 a very much larger proportion of the population. r. Takes Issue With Statement. Dr. William C. Bagiev, prafe* or ol education at Teachers colleg' took sharp issue with the 'ite tnent of Dr. Harold F. Clark, in which >'e declared that a college 'f eaucation is a distinct detriment tc ‘ the earning capacity of Ameivan! youth because of overcrowding in the professional fields Dr. Clark's statement was dis ci ssed by many teachers and stu dents at the college. "Occupations today are demand ing persons on a higher intellectual level than ever before.'' Dr. Bagl“v declared. "The facts concerning employment in this counter indicate that the so-called whitj collar oc cupations have been developing more rapidly than any c*her field. The perfection of automatic mach inery has reduced the demand for workers on the routine 'cvels to a minimum. Banks, department stores, the r.ieat hotel syndicates. insurance companies and public service cor porations have created a number of new semi-professional openings and are looking for trained persons for their personnels. With this emphas is upon specialized training, there has naturally been a corresponding ^mphasia upon an extended and thoroughgoing general education which .shall serve as a background for the specialized courses • 1 cannot justify the discouraging of a college training. Certainly a number of the professions are not overcrowded — there are a million teaching positions in the United States and unemployment exists only in the large cities and a few industrial states.” Dr. Bagley said educa'ion was largely responsible for American prosperity. The more a person can be sent to school the better off the country will be. he asserted, pre dicting that hi the near future the great bulk of work will be of a pro tessional type. Dr. Clark, who is professor of edu cation at Teachers college, said yes terday : ‘The persons who stand up for the college have ignored the ques tion of whether a college education actually pays or not. They talk in generalities about the moral im portance of going to school and the numerous benefits derived from a higher education, but they careful ly becloud the real issue. They do not take into consideration that the p'ajority of young people go to col lege with the purpose of training themselves for an occupation and fitting themselves for a life's work. But these students will not be able u. find work if the present system keeps on. I do not believe that any one can say that we are getting the right kind of education at the pres ent time.” ITALY INSISTS BEAUTY MUST BE CONCEALED Rome—A blow at modern dress and manners was administered to day when, from three different sources, three commands were is sued. The prefect of ancient and beautiful Siena forbids women to take part in. organize or encourage beauty contests within the whole province and orders the local podestas to see that this veto is carried out. Augusto Turati. secretary of the- fascis. party, told the cham ber of deputies that light clothes were unworthy in such a solemn assembly and must not be worn in the future. In the northern part of Italy a captain of industry tells girls employed in his factories that they will be dismissed instantly if they go to work in skirts which fail to cover the knees.
