It is refreshing to note that a
memoranda.a from the Student
Council has ben addressed to the
university authorities at Yale formu
lating a series of reforms upholding
the proposition that a college is pri
marily a place for study and only
incidentally for social and athletic
recreation.
This will be refreshing to a num
ber of fathers who are digging in to
pay the expenses of their sons at
school and heretofore have been wor
ried because those sons seem to be
more interested in sports and in
social advantages than in intellectual
improvement
Of course every healthy boy -s
interested in athletics and is anxious
to form proper social connections.
But the general impression prevails
among fathers that boys ought to go
to school to improve themselves from
the chin down.
It has been too often the case that
hoys have attached a social stigma
to those who get class marks higher
than C. Those who go in for study
have been characterized us- “sharks"
or “grinds.” Reference to one*?

ervations have shown, the moon's

degrees Fahrenheit immediately be-

Of course a boy is a healthy animal
and he doesn’t care to be subjected
to intellectual snobbery, but at the

dum asserts, a college finds its reason
for being and its prestige in the
achiamenta of the intellectual min
ority among students.
It has been generally presumed that
the youth of. thc country is some
what wild and is out for a good time
only. Those who emphasize the
things that are intellectual in any
group of people must necessarily be
in the minority, but it is refreshing
to see that this minority has been
coming in to better repute during the
last fifteen years. There are prob
ably quite as many serious-minded
youths in the country as there ever
were. Youth is not all out for a
wastrel life. There still remain quite
a number of the elect. And on thc
whole the prospect for a better world
in the future is bright

Alabama Public Service Commission Shows How Public
Is Affected By Passenger Service
From time to time the Central of Georgia Railway has pomled out that the
continuation of unprofitable passenger trains is adverse to thc public interest,
and that railway earning power should be safe-guarded for the public welfare.
Just how this comes about is made plain in a decision of the Alabama
Public Service Commission dated October 3. 1928. on a petition of the Central
of Georgia to replace certain local trains with less expensive motor bus service
to be operated on the highways.
The decision says in part:
"The evidence in this case is substantially like that .hid. ha. been offered
before the Commission in . considerable number of similar caws
few years. It shew, that, with the improvement of the public road, and the rapid!,
increasing use of automobile, for transportation of the people for relatively short
distances), particularly private automobiles, the people use the local
of the railroads less and less. The public cannot reasonably expect the railroad,
to continue the operation of such local passenger tram, when such
used and when the use thereof drops down to a po.nt wh.ch Causes the earner to
luin suhetantio. losses. If the peopie insist on such train,.be ng —.
notwithstanding such substantial losses, then it can mean on y ’
rates for transportation of persons and freight, where the oerv.ee of the railroad
used, must he made high eoough to overcome such lo^cs. and provide ^jarner ^
a return that is sufficient to enable it to contioue to gtve good service and make
tieceaiiary additions and bettermnts.
TO enable the earner to make necessary addition, and betterments^ its credit
must he good enough to enable it to obtain thc nccess.ry m.ney at rwwnablylow
cost The carrier cannot maintain such credit unless it ,o able to earn upon it, whole
operations a return sufficient to constitute basis for such credit
Constructive criticism and suggestion# are invited.
