EWE LAMB BACK TO PASTURE
Oklahoma's "we lamb," evidently weary of frisking about in the field of public disapproval for two years, has gone back to pasture. The sheep which the lamb sheltered from, the buffets of an inquisitive world has promised to do his own "bloatin" in the future, if the lamb will stay away.
However, politicians are not convinced that the "wow bomb" is permanently abolished. They feel that her resignation is but a trick to away the mullion, and that if the suspended governor is reinstated, the lamb will be back with all her controlling power.
the mullah, and that if the surrendered governor is reinstated, the lamb will be back with all his controlling power. The actions of Oklahoma's suspended governor have shown either that he is incapable of filling the office or else he is very easily swapped in his opinions and judgments. Any individual who adresses to a high office of trust should have sufficient initiative and good judgment to fulfil the duties without outside interference. Oklahoma's former governor had best be used to paste himself into the court so that he could stand on his feet alone after having been acquitted.
EXPANSION
The estimated expenditure of one billion dollars for public works by the government during the next four years appears to be a reaction against the economy program of the Coulidge administrations. Inland water development, construction of public buildings, flood control, reclamation and other proposals which have Press identify However's approval will require new and greater expenditures if they materialize.
This expansion program would provide jobs for thousands of unemployed men. Again, under the supervision of President Hoover, these engineering projects would result in a more definite national policy of coordination of enterprises and thus avoid the heavy money waste of former years. The future returns from such a systematic development would more than counter balance the cost of development. With all of these facts taken into consideration, undoubtedly the policy of Mr. Hoover would correlate economy with progressive improvements which the country needs. At any rate, the increase in wealth, population, and needs of our country institutes such a program.
WHAT ABOUT IT?
Something of a pseudo-platitude has been established concerning the attitude of the average college toward scholarship and the practice of honorey, accuracy and fair play. People having little close contact with the student life of universities and colleges, see and hear nothing but athletics, wild parties, dances, and general good times, which are construed to be a true cross-section of college life.
It is quite generally thought that college tends to make one lax in working habits, and careless in his work. Cubbing is believed by many to be an increasing evil among undergraduates, since many honor codes of long standing are being cast aside.
The real attitude of students has long been misunderstood. President Cox said recently that "bluff and presumption may be permitted in the classroom; but in their relations with each other students reported such practices with contempt, and those who resort to them are properly considered to be cheap. They may be willing to view with considerable tolerance those who break the rules of the school, but they will not fail to mute out condemnation and penalty to those who break the rules of training. When the world holds its examination, it will require the same standards of accuracy and honesty which student bodies impose on themselves.
Taken collectively, colleges are more aware of the problems of living than any other class. Certainly there are the usual number of "cribbers," "triple-pilchers," and "full-throwers" but, after all, students are human like the rest of humanity. Too much should not be expected of college students who are spending several years in preparing for their careers. The dishonest and ill-biased are applauded among them but in no larger percentage than is found among the rank and file of the less educated.
PLAN YOUR OWN SCHEDULE
Enrollment is a process that the entire student body must complete twice each year. To many, the task is a tireless, wearisome, gueous ordeal. Much dissatisfaction with the present enrolling system has been expressed the past week, but few, if any, constructive plans have been offered by which the task could be made easier or more efficient.
Enrolment is the first and one of the most important steps in college life. Here as elsewhere, well been it half done. The time spent for enrolling is not wanted. Denis and advisers are charged with the responsibility of seeing that students take courses as prescribed by school law. No one likes to wait in line; it seems a waste of time. But who would not rather wait a few minutes to see that the schedule is correct and that the transcript meets college requirements, rather than lose five or ten hours in the end.
Confusion and chaos at enrollment are caused by the students themselves. According to some advisers and deans, students come to enroll who do not know what they want to take. Unprepared students use the adviser's time and that of their fellow students. Those not having schedules, previously out should not be permitted to enroll.
The present aim of having students see their advice before enrollment, concerning their next semester date is one that would eliminate wasted time, if it were completely carried out. Students have the means of making enrolment an easy, pleasant task but they fail to use it.

Today's Best Editorial
Any American who has ever tried to learn French is convinced that the French speak more rapidly than any other language. He finds it hard to agree when his teacher says: "It is only that you are unfamiliar with the language, we don't know how to teach." Couraged student may find comfort in the scientific backing of his view by the findings of the International Electric Company of London.
An investigator on its staff made an effort to find the four leading European languages as to speed and accuracy. He found that English was able carry the largest average rate of speech during one-minute telephone conversation. English came next, then German and French.
POOR TELEPHONE LANGUAGES
When it came to calls for intelligence over the telephone, the order was exactly reversed. Italian and German students then German, English and French.
Plainly this report proves French is stiff language for a beginner. English must be mastered to understand. On the other hand, English shows up fairly well, combining remonstrate speed with fair intelligence and perceptiveness. He is outed with scrupulous exactness, one wonders if a French investigator has arrived at the same conclusions.

Money Was Sacred Thing to Indians of East, According to Anthropologist
Philadelphia, Feb. 11.—Wannam, the money of the Indian of the Atlantic states, such as the Delawareans, was not the "fifth laurel" of civilized man, but a sacred thing. In fact, all transfer of property, from one Indian to another, was naily gift. The passage of wampum to the donor was in the nature of payment for value received, but as a charm to protect from any evil influence that might be transferred with the gift and make the recipient an indentured servant. Dr. Frank G. Speck, professor of anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania, and a leading authority on American Indians of the East.
In the change of vendable property, even extending to gifts between friends," said Doctor Speck, "there lurked a potency for evil that might develop in who knew what quarter, producing malice or resentment among the parties concerned. It could even result in bodily poison to one or both. It is strictly correct to state that in the attitude of the eastern Indians toward such affairs, the passage of shell money, or wampum as they called it, from the hands of the receiver of a gift or purchase to those of the giver performed the function of medicine.

RGOM FOR REFORM
The subject of examinations has for very good reasons, attracted a good deal of attention recently. When the teacher forced to admixture himself, he forced to admixture themselves, we are invariably reminded of the oft-encountered injustice of justness. That examinations as conducted today, are not true criterions of scholastic ability or intelligence is true.
The system results in group conferences in which students, attempt, by the laws of chance and averages to determine what are the likely outcomes of each examiner; and idiosyncrasies of each examiner; his personal bins must be consulted. In order to do this heat, examination papers are by these examiners in previous years must be consulted in order for them to be considered a particular nun considers important.
McGill Daily
All this wants considerable time and energy that were better spent in studying the subject on which the examiner will be self-evident that with such an examinator it is just as important to know his personal psychology as his subject. Many a student boasts that it is more difficult to get rather than knowledge of his examination which has put him through. It is an encouraging sign to find that some professors have become familiar with the forms of examination and are looking about for better and true means of judging a man's academic worth.
THOU SHALT NOT MARRY
Contrary to the commonly held opinion there are bold men among our college presidents. President Baker of Washington and Jefferson has had the temetery to attempt to change the laws of biology and medicine, and his office recently issued a proclamation forbidding student marriages. The worthy president seems to consider marriage of the inmates of that institution to each other, or to outlaw such forms. In addition, the administrative红 tape.
It is difficult to discover on what grounds the revender doctor justifies his actor which interference with the actress's boundaries, a bound to result in diverse forms of exploitation. He may think it impractical to marry someone else. Is marriage, then, a crime? The president had been married as a student would be make any worse an educator and then become a teacher, support him, then while age is.Make any time, then better for love than the spring of life when we are young or at what the future may bring?
The gentleman may find that his decree will work. There is reason to believe that he will not. Forbidden might be the way to prevent it might as well hope to prevent the manufacture of honey by bees or to turn the sunflower from following the sun as to put an end to the consumables and love affairs by presidentialukes.
Like most popular movements it has ramified and pervaded every corner of the world, with anything nonspecies for education. If you are a gargle manufacturer you educate the public to the danger of throat germs, and ad sodium, the efficiency of antiviral drugs. You promote propagation of pathogenic bacteria. It is an advertising parading under a slogan that says "You are a social reformer you get up on a soap box and try to educate the public."
EDUCATION OR PROPAGANDA?
Right now America is in the grip of a pandemic. Should democracy succeed? Education. How can crime be lessened? Education. How can we fight disease, automobiles, and drugs? Education. The answer to every human ill is education. Educate people so they can do this and that—and Eurasia!

EDUCATION OR PROPAGANDA?
"The wampum protected them against spiritual infection and its resulting of darkness. Wampum was a purifier, purging the transaction from baken evil forces and brought it under control through the transaction the wampum would function as a puritative for its keeper. The same process occurred when they loved by them to have come originally from supernatural sources and coelodying within it profound supernatural influence."

"We can understand why a compact sealed with the transfer of womum was as sacred as one sworn on by all men in Christ, as the board of Abraham. It was such an attitude toward exchange and currency that our colony was so open to their barriers for land and peltry with the aboriginals of New England and the middle Atlas." The board also out their exchange with the European notion of intrinsic value, receiving the return with the affirmation of spiritual and supernatural inter
"The Dutch in buying Manhattan for 60 guilders of tricksters undoubtedly drove the Dutch into Delaware. But he has told us that in the eyes of those same Delawarenes the currency was the symbol not the instrument of their exclusive宿命rights to the land and as its progeny, the currency was to them but a symbol over which they transferred their goodwill and their spiritual power over it, turning away the poison that might have been engendered by the inequality of value between East and West, been any.

This may seem a distrieve on American education. It is not. It is altogether debatable whether promulgation of the law is necessary but know what you are getting—the mark of an educated man is that he accepts nothing without question, and if he fails self first according to his own criteria of its goodness. —Oregon Emerald
Thousands of Britons who have had experience of our tariff waves will chuckle over the plight of an American held at Liverpool for failing to pay the price, and gag. We suppose he must have read somewhere that Great Britain was a free trade country. This information is the mother of misfortune.

The measure will reach the Senate calendar so late in the session, however, that its enactment by the press would not be considered though not impossible if the supporting sentiment of both houses be strong enough and active enough to effect a legislative move to prevent parliamentary delays. In this connection may be noted as helpful and decidedly encourage the state legislature to take a leading role as chairman of the Senate committee, that the bill "has the approval of the bureau of the budget." An objection from the House should prevent fatal to its prompt consideration. His timely approval should prove a very present and powerful aid to the president, as evidenced by this of the next Congress.
