STUDENT LABOR In addition to the opportunities for students to earn money to assist them in meeting expenses through project activities which have just been mentioned, California Polytechnic School has established a policy of using a maximum number of students to operate the entire campus and farm of 1400 acres. The average earning is several times as great as the typical college where adults are employed full-time to do a large part of the kind of work done by students here. During normal years, California Polytechnic School employs no adult gardeners or janitors, no dining hall help except cooks, and only two farm foremen who instruct students in maintenance, I repair, and farm operation work. Not only does the school make every effort to place students in employment both on and off the campus, but it seeks to correlate this out- side work with the student's major course of study. Students of electrical industries aid in operation of the power plant. Majors in the field of dairying feed and care for the school's dairy herd, n?lk the cows, and operate the milk plant. Landscaping students maintain and improve the lawns, trees, and shrubbery.
