Baltimore News: This is the time of vear when ambitious girls i different parts of the country are counting the costs of a college” education. Fortu- nately for them, the scale of expendi- ture in the colleges open to women has not risen high enough to make the most economical msel uncomfortable among her richer elussmates. Practi- cully, without exeeption, the standards of dress in the girls college ave simple, and move than that, the plucky young woman who is working her way through a four years' course on short commons of pocket money is often clevated into something very iike a heroin At Vassar college tho smallest sum on which a girl can pay her bills, aside from scholarship aid, is about $450. Of this amount $100 is for tuition and $300 for bourd and washing. A genius in thrift—and Vassar sees such a genius now and then—can buy her books and stationery and supply herse!f with the small incidentals dear to school girls for the remaining $50. Car fare, if she goes home between terms, and the larger items of dress are not included, Necessary expenses at Smith, Wellesley and Bryn Mawr do not vary greatly from these figures. Five hundred dol- lars would represent the avernge yearly expenditure of no small proporfion of the girl students in eastorn schools. Six hundred dollars 1s a liberal allowance, and $700 more than luxurious. The largest sums spent hardly rise ubove the minimum which the president of Ha vard deemed necessary for comfort and peace of mind at Cumbridge. Boston university, of the coedu tional sehools, has no dormitory system, and girl students from a distance exer- cise no small ingenuity in housing and feeding themselves without overween- ing hourd bills. Four dollars a weck, when necessary, some of them find it possible to live for, or $148 for thirty- seven weeks in the city., Add $100 for tuition and $50 for books, car fare, and incidentals, and a year's schooling is provided at a cost of #300. Some of the country colleges, while giving a substantial education, treat the pocketbook with g leniency. t. Lawrence university, in the north- ern part of New York, for instance, tutors young womeu as well us men for #40a year, and the townspeople take them “to theiv hearts and their best guest chambers for #3.50 o week, Edu- cation there still costs substantially what 1t used to at the older schools in the pioneer days, To work onc¢'s way through college unaided is a hard task, but now and then accomplished by a sturdy g A large-cyed brunette, not sturdy, but fragile-looking, graduated from Hoston university a fow yoars ago by finding a situation us waitress in a restaurant, wenving the white apron during thoe vush hours at the morning and night, and in vacation the day through. To suve is sometimes easier than to earn, and T have in my mind one group of fourgirls, two from Boston universit and two at the Harvard annex, who ged two adjoining rooms in' a quiet house in Boston and boarded themselves on an average of $3.70 per weok. Their rooms cost #5, or $1.25each. They tools breakfust at a small restaurant, where oatmenl and steak cost twenty ceuts, ‘I'hey ate an apple and a slice of bread for lunch, and at night they pooled resources, spreading napkins on the top of a trunk and feasting on bread and milk or bread and a taste of canned meats.
