THE OVERWORKED
STUDENT
Soon the eventful days will be here—the time for the semester reckoning to be completed. And is there a student on the Hill who does not know this? No, or if there is, he does not attend the classes where notesbooks must be hounded in, papers written, quizzes reviewed for. All these things to be done somehow, sometime.
We go about trying to do all this work, and trying particularly to make everyone understand how overworked we are. This is the greatest pleasure of all, for no matter how much the other follow has to do, we like to feel that we have more.
There is no doubt about it. We like this rushed feeling. Who doesn't feel beAused and overworked? No one.
And if there should happen to be one who is fairly well caught up with his work, he would feel like a criminal admitting it—such a confession would never do. Better to announce that he contemplated robbing a bank. It would exite less surprise than that he isn't drenched the finals, and it's quite sure he will pass all his courses.
Nay, a student who did such a thing as to break down and admit than all this work was caught up would be a social outcast. Surely something is wrong with him.
JUST FOR SPITE
So we say, give us more and more papers and work, so that we shall not run out of subject matter for conversing with our comrades. And they will consider us truly collegiate.
The old expression that a person would cut off his nose to spite his face has been admirably illustrated by the woman who went to bed forty years ago, and stayed there until death released her from the living tomb. She was angry at her husband, and in a pique declared she would stay in bed until she died. Her threat has been fulfilled.
Everyone is subject to occasional moods of wanting to make others suffer more by being a martyr, and believing he can do so. After declaring what we intend to do, we continue for spite, when reason *m* has shown us that we are hurting ourselves more than anyone else.
There are many times in minor or important matters when we all follow the same tactics this woman adopted. and we stubbornly hold to them, even while we regret our decision.
When we find that we must do something to spite someone or just do something in general, it is wise to do a little hard thinking to see what good it will do. Usually we find that we are hurting ourselves, and no one else
AND STILL ANOTHER
FLIGHT IS PROPOSED
Despite the ill-fated rulings of the many attempts at trans-Atlantic flying, yesterday's press gave account of another plan.
Miss Mabel Boll, known as the queen of diamonds because of the many gems she wears, is the most recent person to announce her intention of making a flight across the ocean.
Using better judgment than did.
Flows the river both smooth and fast.
Mingling anes with a thousand streams
Under the arches of time long past.
The River of Vanished Dreams
Under the arches of time long past
Ripples the river of vanished dreams
And into the sea of content at last.
Soft and milky as oaksth,
Flows she under the pale menebrons
And into the son of content at last.
Heating ambitions of kingdom vast.
Swirling in darkness and pleasing peasles
Under the arches of time long past.
Rolling is a regulated and shattered mast of a bark of hope, through morky streams. On the minor shore we stand subish. Where pass the rains of brilliant筛晕 The archs of time long past And like the clouds of heaven — Kennon Kilner in *The Dial*.
Mrs. Francis Grayson, Miss Boll will announce that her flight will take place in April, but even so, there is much doubt as to the availibility of such a death-risking undertaking.
She is reported to have offered Charles Levine $25,000 for a seat in his plane when he contemplated flying back to America, so she has been entertaining the plan some time; long enough that her arm should have been calmed when the tragedy of Mrs. Grayson's flight took place.
It is hardly clear why Miss Bail would need an ocean flight to bring her publicity. She should be satisfied with that which she has obtained with her gems. This is one example in which ambition should be supressed—and if necessary, by force.
ADULT EDUCATION
June 4, another Senior class will leave the arms of their Alma Mater for the cold and cruel world. Some will succeed. Some will fail. That is life.
It is the popular opinion that graduation from a college or university ends one's education—that one lives with books and laboratories forever. Those people that hold that belief will fail to accomplish the altruistic purposes of life. Those who remain students will succeed.
Education just begins. We are now only equipping ourselves to become students of the world. We have been enabling ourselves to become good citizens and potential powers for the betterment of our respective communities. The theories that we have learned in the past two years will be worn and trite in another two years. They will be totally discerned in five years. We will be back where we started with everything to re-learn. New political theories will force out the old. Economic laws will prove that we were mistaken in what we knew to be absolutely true. We must advance with the pioneers of thought. We must follow them into the jungles and swamps of their daring expeditions if we wish to be with them when they discover a new land.
Adult education is in its period of experimentation. Its plausibility and unity is not questionable. Educators are only arriving to develop the mediums through which adults can be led to see the necessity of continual education. It is only natural that a problem of this kind should enlist the aid of newly graduated college students.
THE WORTHLESS ALIBI
"We only robbed for a thrill; we meant no harm."
And having given their trio allure our youthful criminals cease to be worried about the course of justice and expect forgiveness. For they reason that as long as they did not commit the acts through criminal tendencies they should be freed. They seem to think that one is entitled to a thrill no matter how he chooses to get it.
These youthful offenders should be made to realize that robbing for a thrill is a worse crime than robbing when a starving family is crying for 'god, and a paying job an impossibility. It is worse to steal for a thrill than when one needs the money, and sickness and depair make the mind forget ethical values and moral principles.
No allowances should be made because desire for a thrill prompted a deed against society. The penalty which inevitably comes from such offenses should be given in proportion to the nature of the crime; and not lessened in consideration of the fact
that the boys knew better.
There will be a meeting of the Jay Janes in the rest room of central Administration building at 4:30 on Tuesday, Jan. 10.

That distinction is largely in the mental attitude of the instructor. If he believes that all he has to do is to be patient, he will not and correct papers his will will bring.
There is a fine mark of distinction which separates a good instructor from a medicine one, which classifies the professors who merely instruct and those who put their subject across in an understandable way.
There will be a meeting of Tau Sigma at 4:30 p. m. Tuesday in Ribbon

The Human Touch
At the Concert
It is unfortunate that those who arrived early could not fully enjoy all of the concert for the noise made by them. Even in the new auditorium are exceptionally good music cannot be fully appreciated if it is accompanied by the shuffling of feet and the setting into the floor of late arrivals—Lidine Calver.
--ore. But if he is convinced that he is the principal factor in whether his students learn or not, if he believes he must stand out as an integral part of a whole, if he realizes that the way he conducts his class governs the knowl of the material, he realizes that the corrections he makes on papers mean a great deal to the individual student, he will stand out from the crowd as an instructor with a
The impressiveness of a large auditorium filled with soft music and the appropriate number of numbers corresponds to the type of concert an enjoyable hour. The program was subdued throughout and in timing with the spirit of the venera.
Only once, in the first number, Symphony 2 by Vierne, was the immense volume of the organ even though it had been tended to temper the fortisimo duvette by Martini, the second number, was also delightful, carrying a soft melody. The more dramatic the more dramatic symphony. The remaining well-played numbers in their smooth and delicate rhythms lie at the atmospheres of quiet melody.
Mr. Anderson is especially to be commended upon the selection of his program which included such names as Joenger, St. Steves, Gullman, Mara-ger and many others. Persons were shown in their heavier moods. The presentations were of a light enough nature to not make a Sunday afternoon dill or depressive to best advantage the shadings and tone color of the instrument.
To illustrate: A freshman girl who had secured excellent grades in four subjects at mid-quantum was failing her course, devoting of three times as many hours on this study as before and then repeating the same. Discouraged and ready to go home she was persuaded to stay by the same teacher, which been appealed to by the girl's mother.
The instructor who intervened began thinking about the case and was gradually brought to a realization of what he had done in their work, he began to see the parental regard which a large number have for anything they create. His idea that all students were trying to make sure that they did not begin to undergo an alteration.
With this in mind he began to pay a little closer attention to the grading of papers. He considered the paper size and effect of considerable work but which lacked quality. On careful examination he discovered on one section which was the most difficult to begin. The new paper showed material improvement and successive trials brought back the same result until the paper forged to the front of the entire class.
That is the story. It was related by the instructor, to whom the experience was a rerelation. It has a significant meaning.
The human element is necessary to successful teaching. That requirement must be manifested in a willingness to praise as quickly as to rebuke, to point out merit in the work of a student as often as fault, to point out mistakes and other uncomplishment along the correct way in which a student has begun.
The lack of this human element has oftentimes discouraged hundreds of young people, and the future unless the instructors work with the students in the individuals under them.

"Ann is going to get married!"
Careful of their money! With a home to find, furniture to buy, marketing to learn . . . with the thousand and one little emergencies to meet that newly-weds never dream of！. . .
"Yes! She's engaged to a nice boy. He's not making a big salary yet, but he's a hard worker. They'll have to be careful of their money at first."
And a young girl, inexperienced in these practical problems, is expected to be careful of her money!
Ann will bless advertising. In the pages of her magazines and newspapers, she will find the very experience she lacks—the advice she needs!
It is when every penny counts that advertising gives its best service. The advertisements you read are valuable lessons in every-day economy. They help, as nothing else can, to make your dollar go the longest distance. For advertisements show you which article, at the price you are willing to pay, is going to suit you best. And the very fact that it is advertised is its guarantee that it will give you satisfaction after you have bought it.
Advertisements are a most valuable guide to wise buying. It pays to read them regularly.
