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.
