dents at Biola who find it needful to work more than from two to four hours daily are required to carry a reduced schedule of classes, thus necessitating a longer period for their training. Wherever possible, of course, the student is urged to give full time to study and practical Christian work. An example of the way board and room expenses are met is described' by the young woman who is shown in the picture at the top of this page: “Work at Clifton’s Cafeteria has made possible my continuance in study at the Bible Institute.

Earning Room and Board In meeting the cost of board, the location of Biola aids greatly in solving the problem of the student who must earn his own way. The leading shopping, financial, and hotel districts of the city literally crowd upon the Institute on three sides. Scores of restaurants, tea rooms, and cafeterias, thronged with cus tomers during the noon hour of each business day, line the streets, and the labor of prepar ing the luncheons for and serving this hungry host of business men and of women shoppers affords many a Biola student his needed opportunity. The restaurant jobs seem the most satis factory from the student viewpoint, for such jobs pay the most in food and wages for the smallest expenditure of time and the shortest absences from the school dormitory. For eighteen hours a week—three hours ' daily for six days each week—the average restaurant will pay the student twelve meals and $3.00 in cash— 50 cents a day— a total value- of $6.00. The cash may be reserved for room rent, laundry, and the like, though some of these young people are able to meet the expense of room rent by a second job of eight to ten hours weekly in the mailing or clerical departments of the Institute.
