In Ohio, the state university has abolished all tuition fees; and most of the denominational colleges demand fees even lower than were customary in New England half a century ago.

Yet if the total cost is less in the West, on the other hand, the opportunities for self-help are correspondingly more in the East.

Every young man or woman should weigh the matter well before concluding that a college education is out of the question.
