A college course designed for this purpose could be f
completed in three years."
At the present there are existing a great number
of colleges which might well answer to this descrip-
tion of Wilkins' classical college. Young men and
women enter these educational institutions often
with no well-defined plans in mind for the future.
Young women in particular are drawn into this typeI
of college for the fun of the thing.
However the graduation from such an institution
usually involves no great amount of satisfaction. In
most cases these students find themselves prepared
for nothing that will earn a living. They failed to
realize that what they needed to at least obtain a
job, was some ordinary practical knowledge which is
is not included in the curriculum of the classical col-
lege.
NO OTHER GOOD SUBSTITUTE
FOR LIQUOR CONTROL
(Minnesota Daily)
"......puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others which we know not of."
-Hamlet
Dr. Daniel Poling, chairman of the Allied Forces
for Prohibition, challenged the wets to produce a
worthy substitute for the eighteenth amendment
when he spoke in Minneapolis this week.
According to Dr. Poling, none of the methods
offered to replace the Volstead act (light wines andI
beer legalized, state option, Canadian system) would
eliminate the evils that accompany the administra-
tion of the present form of liquor control.
It is certainly true that unless an improvement
in the situation existing under prohibition can bej
assured, it is foolish to clamor for the recall of the
eighteenth amendment. At present, we have no such
assurance. If four per cent beer and wines were
legalized, the 'alky" rings of bootleggers purveying
stronger beverages than beer would still exist. And
how is the legalized liquor going to be sold? Not at
saloons, as even the wets are opposed to them. At
government stores? Why should the government go
into the brewing business and open a new and ideal
avenue of graft for unscrupulous politicians. No
matter where beer is sold, the atmosphere of the old
saloon will return in spite of efforts to keep dispen-
saries decent.
The Canadian and state option systems have both
been tried out. Reports from Canada too numerous
to mention here have shown that their method of
liquor control has not eliminated the bootlegger or
speakeasy, has not decreased drinking, drunkenness,
or crime, and has not proved satisfactory in general.
The United States experienced state option until in
1918 when that system was replaced by prohibition.
It was pointed out in these columns before that 1
bringing back beer would not help the economic
situation. While the brewers would no doubt be
benefited, manufacturers of near beer and soft drinks
would find their profits cut by competition. And the
average man's income would surely not swell with
that of the brewers.
While prohibition is by no means perfect, what
solution to the ageless problem of liquor control
would be better? We have yet to see the answer to I
that ,question.
