"DEPRESSION COLLEGES"
One of the latest developments in higher education is the "depression college." This institution is being opened to those who are in embarrassing financial circumstances and yet desire a higher education. The students attending it are to receive an education in exchange for working for the instructors.
The college is being opened this month at Port Royal, Virginia, by Dr. A, C. C. Hill, Jr., formerly a member of the Brookings Institution and professor of economics at Springfield College, Massachusetts.
"The basic idea of the depression college is simplicity itself," says Dr. Hill. "It is designed to cut the vicious circle, whereby unemployment increases among college teachers as the result of financial difficulties in the families of college students."
The college will grant no degrees, but will give certificates on the basis of examinations. There won't be any football and baseball teams the chief sports will be fishing and hunting in the near-by streams and fields, which will fill the double purpose of providing exercise and food. The teachers will receive no salary, but will be given board and room and an opportunity to continue their professional studies in a congregant environment.
Although the attending student will be deprived of the extra-curricular activities that are a part of most American colleges, yet they will be able to obtain the important purpose of higher education—a cultural advancement.
AT LAST—A SOLUTION
The exponents of nudism at McGill University, for lack of the scientific blow-gums of the government authorities, have resorted to a simple clothing program. They have provided the three nude fountain statues, donated to the University by Mrs. Payne Whitney, with colorful short so that the appalling crudeness of "Nature in the raw" may be eliminated.
Perhaps such a program could be adopted to advantage by the police whose services have recently been enlisted to deal with the ultra-modern nudist movement in Canada.
OUR PRAYER
"Lord help me to run down,' said a little girl who recently was reprimanded by her father for talking too much. And what a truth she uttered!
If ever there was a time when people needed to pray that prayer it is today. All day long they chatter about politics, the depression, war, and other discouraging matters that they cannot remedy. They only fog the air until everyone loses his way.
Politicians are the chief offenders these days. They leave the voter no time to consider who is the best man. The voter has all he can do to find his way about in the speech-propaganda-laden fog that precedes the election.
From the president down, we should ali do well to seek divine aid in "running down."
--he excited women that they had gone to school to learn their art.
Monsieur Georges, with the achievement of 300 perfumes, was in another booth. He asserted that beauty is a matter of odor.
Perhaps since women have decided to go into business, these men lost their jobs and had to take over women's work to earn a living. Or perhaps they think that they will get women so interested in beauty that they will no longer care to work and then they will be able to get their old jobs back. The shops that employ them will be

EVEN MALE MANICURISTS
Women always have been exceptionally interested in making themselves as beautiful and attractive as possible, but now they have an even greater incentive. At a recent beauty show in New York one booth was devoted to six male manicurists, all ready to work on feminine digits.
These six men were quite nice looking and broad of shoulder. They were serious, and assured they had a job to do. And they had one to achieve in their own.

MEDICAL TRAINING TO BE EXTENDED
Here's a bit of tragic news for the poor suffering six-year medics. Plans are now being made to require Medical School graduates to spend five years in hospital training before practicing either general surgery or any surgical specialty. Such post-graduate training is designed to raise the qualifications of the profession.
These steps are being taken by Dr. J. Bentley Squier, of New York, president of the American College of Surgeons. Dr. Squier believes that more extensive training is imperative, because the increased number of subjects that have been added to under-graduate curricula makes it impossible for a student to acquire more than a smattering of any of them.
This additional requirement may seem unfair to many medics, but such a step should do much to improve the practice of the profession.
BATTER UP
Betty Offield, the Wrigley heiress, knocked a one bagger for the return of prosperity when she left her comfortable home to go with the Frontier Nursing Service into the Kentucky mountains to work with the poor people. She has led out in a way that is most outstanding and surely she deserves recognition for her courage.
Wonder who will be the next one up to bat. A few such hits would help the poor so that they wouldn't know there is a depression. Cities wouldn't have to have charity drives if the rich were to give as liberally of their time and talents as Miss Offield is doing.
Maybe someone will yet come to bat who is so sure of himself that he will knock a home run. Then watch prosperity walk around the corner.

method, he feels that one of the outworn scholastic traditions should be done away with.
WHY NOT CRAM
While Mr. Daggett's recommendation is a definite departure from present teaching methods, it must be understood that he does not conduce a week's steady锒ing before final examinations to make up for a whole semester. Under this system a certain amount of cramming would be done regularly.
Although the tendency of students attempt to absorb a large amount material in a short time when examinations approach has long been conferred by instructors, this method tudy apparently has its advantages.
attempt to absorb a large amount of material in a short time when examinations approach has long been condemned by instructors, this method of study apparently has its advantages. In an essay titled Not Cramming, I note the evidence of Education Week's A Daggett of Wisconsin State Teacher' College points out that crumbling is concentration of the highest order. It spite of the fact that teachers have always contended that what is learned by crumbling goes in one eye and out the other, modern psychologists believe that learning is best retained in more easily retain more. According to the new theory, concentration cannot possibly last longer than half an hour at a time as brain stimuli becomes less receptive after that time. In other words a student studying overtime is not accomplishing any more than one who studies for class tests.

The Wisconsin instructor deplores the fact that in education, as in other field instruction methods have come into use by custom rather than by investigation of the most efficient systems. In suggesting cramming as an efficient study
Although the suggestion that certain types of cramming are often advantageous may prove helpful to some students, most undergraduates already have their own systems of study or lack of study. And certainly if Mr. Duggett has any other point to make in domen's work in a week, there are a lot of college men and women who will say that he does not know the real definition of "cramming."

phrase of the undergraduate, "I haven't cracked" a book yet is " still frequently heard. The perils of registration, the tangles of purchasing books and the sleepiness of rushing are all past history, but the student attitude toward study which accompanies them has lingered on.
The amazing characteristic that accompanies the repetition of this pharse is the pride which the speaker flaunts. Ignorance is excusable in the supposedly uneducated, but it is unfavorably indicative of voluntary stupidity.
It is the belief of college executives, professors and apparently misguided parents that universities are for the education of the students registered in them. Therefore, they are going to transform colleges into a children's playground, then they should notify the professors, executives and parents so that all four groups can also attend. It is important to have a further time and money in stuffy room spaces - Syracuse Daily Orange.
