To The Editor
Guffaw, England, March 10 (To the Editor of the Daily Trojan): George Bernard Shaw suggests that the only effective way to bring about prohibition enforcement in this country is to provide the working classes with better pay and less working hours. In this way their desire for liquor can be overcome by getting them interested in wholesome recreations, like sports, radio programs, libraries, and theaters. Mr. Shaw claims that he cured a drunk-aiu uf VNue-bettiiufc by getting him interested in beating a drum in the village drum corps. Here is the open sesame to civic reform. The palm greasing habits of our oflicials can be cured by requiring them to put in a few hours daily in a gas station greasing cars.

Taylor, director of the personnel bureau of the University of Oregon, as the determining element in accounting for the fact that college graduates earn higher salaries than men who discontinued educational study after graduation from high school.
Dr. Taylor pointed out that, although statistics show the earning power of the college graduate to be greater, it does not follow that a man benefits financially by attending or graduating from a university.
“The higher salaries paid to college graduates," he explained, "result in most cases from the superior native ability which the individual must possess in order to complete the four-year course, rather from any educational value he may
