N thus answering the request to express myself on this, the first -day of the graciously planned cclebration in commemoration of tlie golden jubilee of my ordination to the priesthood and the silver Jubi- lee of my elevation to the sacred college, it is natural that, at the age of 77, I should first indulge in a few reminscences.

COLUMBIA, Mo., Oct. l4.—Minding children, telling them fairy stories, play- ing with them, sweeping and dusting, these are some of the chief’ ways by which 2% young women students earn their way through college at Missouri University. In appearance they are ‘just ordinary “eoeds;"’ they look as well and dress as well as any other group in the 550 girls at the pniversity, except that their Gresses are less expensive than those of ‘the eorerity or the Read and Pemberton Halls sets. Faculty women provide the opportuni- ties\for the giris to earn their way by caring for children. There are meetings of the Fortnightly Club and dozens of teas and afternoon receptions which the faculty women wish to attend, but it is difficult to do so because there must be someone to mind the babies. There is little race suicide on Faculty Hill, and few indeed are the professors whose earnings are munificent enough to provide permanent professional] gov- @: nesses. Cals Up the VY. W. C. A. At the juncture Mrs. Faculty Hill calis up the Y. W. C. A. secretary, Miss Esther Chapman. “Can you jet me have a girl from your employment bureau to take care

go to the house at the appointed time and take charge. They do up the house- work and then play with the children and tell them fairy stories. It is a pretty hard assignment for the girl who has forgotten her Hans Anderson, but the girls like it better than any other kind of work. “Makes me think I am just a woman again, not a coed,"’ said one. “It is a humanizing touch.”’ eee Several of the girls are in more de- | mand than others, because the former have a greater variety of fairy stories and are better able to amuse the chil- dren. Of course, all the girls who do this kind of work are treated as equals and should any kind of insult or snobbishness be charged against one of the employers she would be immediately boycotteq by the Y. W C. A. agency. Other Ways to Earn Money. There are a dozen other Ways that girls earn their way through sch» 0l Miss Elta Hall, a St. Louis girl, is a musician and has a large class of pupils. She makes a good living giy- ing lessons and probably saves some- thing for a rainy day. Another young lady is employed as a copyholder in a local printing plant. She works ever afternoofi and all day Saturday. Her pay is at the rate of 12% cents an hour. . Six girls do domestic work for their room and board; that is, they live with the family and do as much work as would be expected of a daughter of the same ege in a family not em- ploying a domestic. Two or three girls who are strong and country-raised do scrubbing, ironing and other heavy housework for 16 cents an bour at spare times. Miss Sophia Hirsch is working her way through school by trimming hats fer loca) milliners. One girl works as «

3 clerk in the students’ co-operative store at odd times and several are steneg- raphers. “It’s a hard row for any girl to hoe,’’ said Miss Chapman, the Y. W. C. A. sec- retary. ‘‘We do not encourage any girl to try it, yet there are many ardent spir- its who will not be discouraged. It ar- gues something: more than mere wom- anliness in a girl to attempt to earn her way through college. She must have a spark of that divine fire which is the mother of hard work, and near akin to genius. She must care nothing for the snubs of snobs and she must have a courage greater than that of any sol- dier: These girls are few, but I have

The State University charges a minimum matriculation fee and laboratory deposits are not excess- ive. The average girl pays about $15 a year in fees. Some who specialize in sciences pay as much as $40. “It costs about $24 a month for a girl to live in this community,"’ said Miss Chapman. ‘“lhis includes board, room washing and incidentals. It does not in- clude clothes, books or money for social diversions.”’ Two university girls, Edna and Ethel Long of Sedalia, Mo., have solved the problem of the cost of living. They say their living expenses, exclusive of clothes, books and university fees, amount to less than $10 each a month. This is their second year in the unil- versity and they have kept accurate ac- count of a]l expenditures since they en- tered. The Misses Long rent an unfurnished room and do light housekeeping. Their room is a large one, on the ground floor of a large house in a quiet neighborhood. They do their own cooking and laun- dry work. Cereals, fruits and fresh vegetables form the greater part of their diet. A careful system of bookkeeping, where the girls list everything they buy, with the price, enables them to save by buying where goods are cheapest and to do without unessentials. The Long sis- ters do it from choice. Some Give Up Fight. Every now and then @ girl who is working her way gives up the fight and quits school yet girle who earn their way are universally admired by the other university women and frequently helped in ways which do net lessen the self-respect of the recipient. One of these girls, Caroline Gruner, @ remarkable woman, martied a mem- ber of the faculty, Professor Barnwell. Others have surpassed t their etudies. - _ St eet ate ee ie ia i aa aia eae ae ee eee eee ee ee
