The German press is entitled to all
the consolation it can get out ot the
present situation in the United States,
if it finds much in it to make merry
over, we shall not begrudge it the en-
joyment of whatever may appear fun-
ny in German eyes. If the German
people are willing to believe that
ddress label on1 there was “embarrassment” at the
u capitol when the trench and British
time to which envoy8 conferred with the American
authorities and discovered that the
United States could not produce ships
by magic, we have no complaint to
make. If the spectacle of American
millionaires flocking to the support
of their nation seems ludicrous to the

Employment fox- 107 deserv-
ing students in the University
of Texas was secured by the
University Y. M. C. A. employ-
ment bureau during last ses-
sion. In addition to this 226
odd jobs were secured. «
The total value of the work
done by these students was
1 $11,938.40.
Although by far the major-
ity of the jobs secured go
through this bureau, these fig-
ures by no means represent
the amount of money earned
by students >- while attending
the University. A large num-
ber of them are student assist-
ants who secure their appoint-
ment after the first year by
reason of excellence of the work
done as students in the year
previous. Then there are a
great many who secure work
out in the city of Austin who
find out about them of them-
selves and never apply to the
Y. M. C. A. The figures on the
Employment Bureau are inter-
esting in that they represent
pretty l'airly the amount of as-
sistance received at the Uni-
versity of Texas by students
who come without means and
entirely without friends or In-
formation concerning the con-
ditions.
“Waiting on table” heads the
list of employments. From this
source alone students earned
$6557 during last session.
“Choremen” ranked second and
“Clerks” third.
Under the head of odd jobs,
“Yard Work” was the most re-
munerative, there b/fing $103.05
earned in this manner. “House
work”, "cutting and carrying
wood” “putting up stoves” and
“distributing circulars” are
some of the other items listed
in the report of the Y. M. C. A.
secretary.
A student who worked his
way through the University
last year writes to Mr. T. W.
Currie, secretary of the Y. M.
MORE FARMERS EN-
ROLLED AT UNIVERSITY
As usual, in the occupations
represented by the parents of
students in the University of
Texas, farmers are in the lead.
Another notable fact is the
number of widows sending
their children to the Univer-
sity, there being last session
269. Some of the principal oc-
cupations for the year 1915-
1916 are as follows: Farmers,
466; merchants, 261; lawyers,

and stockmen, 128; teachers,

35; lumbermen, 33; druggists,
32; cotton buyers, 26; county, '
city and federal officers, 33; :
engineers, 26; grocers, 20;

29 states, and from 8 foreign
countries. 115 students regis-
