DIGNITY OF LABOUR
We are publishing below a news item
showing how Oxford and Cambridge stu-
dents to day are more concerned about
earning during vacation than about spen-
ding them.
We in these parts go by false dignity.
Students have not been trained to know
what is dignity of labour. Present
days are days of financial difficulties for
everyone and more than ever we feel
to-day the pinch of hardship in every walk
of life. Education also today has become
costly—more costly than ever and guar-
dians find it very difficult to maintain
their children in schools and colleges.
This should be felt by student more than
by any one else and if eveiy students tries
to earn something while studying, things
would be brighter than they are to-day,
Students with courage of. conviction
are not wanting. We would very much
wish some enterprising students to take
the lead and set the ball rolling and
followers would automatically follow.
Teachers can also play an important
part in this connection. Helping and en-
couraging words from them would con-
vince students of the importance of this
move and we sincerely hope that teachers
with sympathy for students would not
fail to start the game.
OXFORD STUDENTS WORK AS
PORTERS, ICE-CREAM SELLERS
IN VACATIONS
Oxford and Cambridge students today
are more concerned about earning during
vacations than about spending them.
If the porter who carries your bag
at a London terminus speaks with an
Oxford accent, you can be pretty sure he
is trying to balance his budget’ between
reading economics at Cambridge and takino-
a holiday in London.
U. S. PLAN
Likewise, if the young man from
whom you buy two cubes of ice-creim
seems a little hazy about the price, and
says: “They’re simple topping, you know!”
in cultured tones, he is likely to be an
Oxford or Cambridge man turning an
honest penny.
The college porter and the academic
ice-cream merchants will be but two among
thousands of students, most of them State-
aided, who-are now following the American
plan of “earn while you learn”.
In recent weeks, would-be lawyers,
scientists, engineers and architects have
been examining the merits of temporary
openings offered them in stores, factories,
offices and farm cunps.
The most lucrative jobs are naturally
the most populor. But there are some who will
sacrifice a little cash for more individuality
in employment.
Handsome Tips
College undergraduates, of both sexes
have been drawn into the hotel industry
by the prospect of handsome tips, and one
young Oxford man—an accomplished ama-
teur pianist—is playing with a seaside dance
orchestra.
