FRIDAY, JANUARY 21.1927 METHODS FROM THE NEW VERTEX B AGRICULTURE WANTS BUSINESS METHODS No pun is intended when one says that the farmers are at last getting down to business in their latest plan to have a committee of business men make a study of the agricultural situation, sound economic planning for the relief of the woes of those who till the soil. After all, agriculture is a business, and even with the troublesome uncontrollable factor of the weather taken into account, it is little doubt that modern business is less dependent contribution to make in the solution of the farmers' problems. It is an encouraging sign that politics alone is not going to be depended upon to improve the situation. What matters most is that we rather than political pressure, which zonesses immediateiment among other forces in the country. Let us first of all find out exactly what is the matter with our agricultural system. It this move on the part of the farmers selfs is a hopeful sign in what has been a sad muddled situation. Last fall it was easier to take a course next semester than to study then. DOLLS AND RELIGIOUS BELIEF THE DREAM FIRST PRESS Professor O. O, Norris says, "I beieve that the lack of dolls in the mod ern nursery is one great reason for the rapid increase in atheism and disbelief in a personal God." If Professor O. O fewer dolls are distributed among children and cherished by them than were possessed and played with by children of a generation age, and second that there really is less belief in God than there really is not, then he may be to be interesting. Meanwhile he might spend a little time figuring out why it is that men have been the leaders of religious faith and thought throughout the ages, although they may have grown more toy to doll, and generally done on something that will make a noise; the more infernal the noise the better. Maybe if he thinks hard, the professor may be able to develop the theory that dolls are not necessary simultaneously wreaily realtie the origin of most modern adult belief in hell. A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT That is a pleasant exchange of compliment between the mayors of Waterloo, Neb., and Waterloo, Belgium, at the threshold of the holiday season of peace and goodwill. The executive of the Belgium town asked his brother in Nebraska for aid in restoring the municipal hall, which has fallen into disrepair. The chief official of the Nebraku reapply makes that a popular subscription he made and expresses his thanks for the opportunity to render service. This is all very delightful, but the question arises: Has the Belgium mayor established a precedent to be named President of France? How? Presence Venice should need a new bridge? Might it not appeal to Venice, Calif.? Then there is Rome, N. Y. What might it do for Musculus's capital? The excavators still work on the ruins, so might seek funds from the collar kings of the New York town, Utica, Ithaca, Syracuse, Medina, Toleda, Florence, Paris, Athens, Carthage, Oxford—the list of American namesakes has the list of American has a Canton and Illinois a痹. An even bronder field of usefulness is suggested by the Peru in Illinois and Indiana's Brazil. And Pennsylvania has a Mars. But even though a radio company has accepted messages from other astronomers, no replies, so our little neighbor may feel safe from solicitation for the present. THE LONELY Old man Thimbly with your greenish hair but Old Lady Martin with your state grey shirt Old parson Steiber, following your And you old Peter, who will die now fall— All of you, each of you, where do you go Over the road's back, poking in the wet Down through the alleys where the swiders arrow; Whither off? Whither to? Who's want to trust Half an hour, whole hour—any time with you? Hist! I know something, something I've found. Something about you, about what you When the grey morning is spread on the ground And the frogs run off-I know why you sneak. Off down the back; road and talk; to the creek! —S. Bert Cooksley in The Bookma) CONCERNING EXAMINATIONS (California Data Bureau) The faculty of Pomona College has recently adopted a plan whereby all departmental major students who are required by their departments to take major examinations will be excused from other final examinations at the end of the second semester. This will allow students to devote more time to their major subjects, and to make a credible showing in the comprehensive examinations. Since these departmental examinations are compulsory and determine the status of the student in his chosen field of study, it seems only logical that he must be faculty given an opportunity to do his work this time. If the student is making passable grades in his other subjects up until the final weeks, he could be excused from the unnecessary crumming, which is not especially benevolent to his best, and devote his time to a comprehensive study of his minor subject. THOSE BRAZILIAN STUDENTS Kanawa City University We of the United States well may join in the feelings of alarm expressed by the attack on our airways, over hard, and virtually all the western hemisphere. "Facing the porel of enemy fire," Whenever our country shalt, in the course of, human events, undertake the task of making other governments, in the western world like or a part of the United States, the experience will be more painful to ourselves than to the people thus taken, under our wings. It was thus when this government took over the Louisiana purchase, acquired Florida, annexed Texas and California, liberated Cuba, absorbed Hawaii, cleaned up the Philippines and attended to divers and sunny kindred tasks elsewhere. Always the job promised far more bother than it apportained to work because it seemed to be the only thing which could be done in American's discharging of her obligations. Always, of course, there were objectors—lots of them, and all of the loud kind. They knew we were wading toward imperialism, destruction the faith of our fathers, ruination. They were not being hallowed. It would have been immense more comfortable for Uncle Sam had they succeeded. But, apparently, the "critter's eyes were set," it was down in the book of fate that a great Middle East island should be formed. Florida and regenerated islands of the sea should become a part of Amerien's record of service to the world. It sometimes seems, as those Brazilian students nervously note, that we are tending to make the United States hemisphere. We do not desire such a responsibility; all good patriots hope the need may not actually arise. But should it become a demand that cannot be denied, the unwelcome task promised promptly tackled and nobilly finished. THE NEW STUDENT Oberlin Review However much one may dislike the sometimes too irritable attitude of The New Student toward the established order of things, the college student is well to give serious consideration to the need for that which warrant little weekly publication is battling -education in the original and broadest sense of the word. Often bitingly sarcastic, sometimes straining at grats (some think New Student is fulfilling a real need for can college circles, where the stadium, the automobile, and the bip-flask are endangering the existence of the educative spirit. Somehow it seems a pedantic sight to find undergraduate students with cheap college humor and fictional magnanimity a publication which is on the right side, regardless of its methods, is notable by its absence.
