So when you shoot the chickens are four to one that you will get a hunter instead of a rabbit. THE UNBALANCED GROUP Four departments, history, economics, sociology, and political sciences, are all included in the library group. There exists among the rules of the faculty one that a student shall not receive credit toward an A. I. degree for more than 40 hours in one group other than that of his major. For more information in some other departments there may for forty hours in the history group would be profitable, in the first place these four departments are varied in nature. While there is a similar relation between the departments, there is not enough that all of them should be in the same office. with the ancient language group, for example. to the journalist, the lawyer-to-be, and to the predecessor, each one of these four groups offers much. It is increasingly conceded that in history tightly taught there is a great deal of cultural value for anyone. To the plausibility it is almost a necessity,斤斤 of the book to pick an influential writer he must have enough knowledge of the past to interpret the present in terms of cause. History is never repeated, but the same general principles may always be applied. Likewise it can be shown that an extended study in all of the other three departments is really educational and broadening. The group system as a whole has a very logical basis, and likewise the rules regarding taking more than forty hours in one group doublesbask has a general value, but in this one thing are a little unbalanced. There are several possibilities. Another group might be formed making two instead of the one, or better still adequate possibilities must be given for making exceptions to the rule. It might be so arranged by the senate that when a person wanted to inkove than forty hours in the one group, if he could show good reason, he would be granted the privilege. Bernard Shaw advocates a four-hour working day. The Piker? It had been a college student he would have said why work at all. MACHINE INSTRUCTION Present-day machine-mass methods of instruction work a great hardship on those whose aim is to prepare for future teaching. In that period, individual attention and a chance to profit by the experiences of older person should be characteristic of the instruction offered. Instead, overcrowded classes lead to a dependence on textbooks, which leaves much to be desired. Indeed it is remarkable how instructors free to recommend for teaching positions members of such classes in which there is only the most superficial of acquaintance between the student and the teacher. A high grade, in such cases, should not be accepted as a proof that the person receiving it is desired for success in teaching. Neither should a low mark necessarily indicate the opposite, for it is conceivable that the individual who has difficulties with some of the preliminary courses required for professional credit may, in the end, prove the host instructor in the high school. Always the secondary school pupil should be considered, for it is on him that the burden falls when those who are to instruct him have been badly trained. Surely, these courses could be made more practical and worthwhile, as well as more interesting, if less formal classroom procedure prevailed. It is certain that a more cohesive of textbook material alone will not produce graduates who are entitled to becoming efficient teachers. With all the discussion on the nifl Valley football teams, the World Court seems to have a hard time get- ing its share of attention. DON'T BE NAUGHTY Now is the time for all the little boys and girls in the University to put on their good manners and begin eating with a knife and fork and quit throwing paper-wads at their professors, and to be really and truly good. For Santa Claus and big little white-shucked spies are out peeking in windows and listening at key holes to find out who is good. The good little boys and girls will get lots of drama and burden and Christmas trees and dolls and those who have been extra good and used their crowns and said "Dlease" might find that Santa will even leave them a size new check book hanging on the tree. So be nice and study your lessons once in a while and you can be sure that on Christmas day old Santa will not forget you. OUP NEW TURNSTILES An inadequate number of tournaments at the stadium at the day of the Kansas-Missouri game caused many persons to wait and struggle in the for a long time before getting in to witness the game. The athletic department has seen the need for more turnovers, and decided to install enough new ones almost to double the number. Many people wait until the third minute before a football game begins, and then expect the same facility in getting into the stadium the day of the dawshawk Tig'r battle and they experience when the crowd is smaller. The new turntables will be a great help in reducing the congestion caused by the huge masses of people who rush for the gates at the last minute. Still more of the trouble can be eliminated if each one remembers the most time we are to have a great game, and goes to the stadium earlier in the afternoon. On Other Hills The athletic board of Ohio State University plans to buy a waterproof cover for their stadium field in order to prevent the weather from interfere with games. They are investigating both canvas and rubber covers. The seventieth birthday of North western University, pioneer of the western colleges, was celebrated Nov. 12.
