are not of that faith, perhaps it would be better for him to not go there,
A man named Martin will be thru here in July and will want Max to go

back West with him to look the school over. Bo doubt you know Barsi

Max has-a number of offers like that, some of which we do not con-
sider at all, but some are I thinkjsound. One real good school makes
just the same offer but he would be required to work as much as he
could to apply on the favors granted.

 

I do not know what to think, Allen, about a Boy (or any student)
working too much whale in school. Not that I am opposed to work or e
not that lax would not work, but it costs so much to go and there are 4
so many things there that a student could (and should) take in, that I.
can't make myself believe that I ought to have Mam working a lot ata
small wage when the time could be spent in a way that would produce |
a bigger dividend, I would feel that the time might be spent in hearing :
lectures and programs, some music or choir work, dramatics (Max likes that)
@nd doing some church work. I think you understand me on that. I feel ny
it would be better to arrange some way for what money the boy would’ carn =
and let him be free to get all he could out of the life at the U. That
of course, depends upon the boy, as if he loafed it away, he had, better
be working. And I also think that some work or responsibilityfs
a good thing for the student.

That is the reason I oe about what a boy would be able to make
in working there, and what time he would need to spend daily, and if
it would tie him up so that he would miss some good activities? such s
information as you might offwr will be appreciated. es

   
  
    
   
   
 
    
 
  
  
  
 
 

 

We all enjoyed a lot our visit with you the other day and was
sorry that we perhaps kept you away from business longer thanwe
should have. I think Max has some doubts relative to fraternities
and he was going to mention that to you, but other things came up and
he did not, I guess a dozen different fellows have told him that
many things pro and con relative to fraternities,

You mentioned writing to me the other day, but I failed to note
the letter when I got home, I mention it only because you may have
said something that I should know. If not, perhaps ou® takk covereds the
field anyway. Sa |

The newspaper man I went to see there, reduced his price two thou-
sand dollars that day but it does not look very good to me because it is
a democratic paper and I am not a democrat. I may call on him again,

very, very dry here and we’need rain terribly bad. Some good
wheat bWt acreage small, Gardens, potatoes and other stuff is gone
due to lack of moisture. Our Solomon river here is dry right now and
this is only June.
