dared that they would not marry under
any circumstances. Sixty-eight per cent
Some one said that a college educa
tion disqualifies a girl for matrimony,
or, rather, it gives her an air of inde
ptndence that chills the hearts of her
admirers and leaves her humiliated and
lonely. But Dr. Davis’ recent survey
brings to ligVit the following consola
tion :
Failure to meet the right man is the
chief cause of spinsterhood among edu
cated women, says Dr. Ivatharine
Benient Davis, for ten years Secretary
of the New York Bureau of Social
Hygiene. She has just completed a sur
vey of the situation, the result of
which is published in Harper's, under
the title “Why They Failed to Marry.”
W'ouien are not less attractive be
cause of their college education. Dr.
Davis maintiii"s emphatically. Desire
for a career c'.eterred only 2 per cent
from taking husba)ids, she learned,
while less than 1 per cent preferred
“freedom” to marriage. Miss Davis
bases her findings on replies to ques
tionnaires sent to 1.200 college women.
The returns were anonymous, so that
the individuals answering would not be
restrained by embarrassment.
“Never met the right -.y.an” was the
answer that accounted for more than
28 per cent of the sr.i-"'"-r. A'
that college ■ o)nen do not lack at
tractiveness. L'-.. Da' is announces that
only one in twenty definitely sail she
had never had an offer of marriage, and
that more than a third had been en
gaged or were engaged at the time of
the report.
Lack of social opportuuities to meet
men was said to have been the lot of
oBly a very few. Reasons noted on the
questionnaires for not marrying include
the following:
“In love with a man I could »ot
marry,” 9 per cent. “_Never in love
with any man,” 8 per cent. “Lack
•f opportunity to meet again,' 4.8 pel
cent. “Too' shy—not attractive to
men,” 2 per cent. “Never l»ved men
who asked and men I never loved ask
ed,” 1.9 per cent. “Marriage never
appealed to me,” 1.6 per eent “Fear
«f child-bearing,” 2 per sent.
Bighteen per cent of the woniem de-
'of them regretted unequivocally their
single state, and the remaining 14 per
i eoJit wore iind,eclded.
Klon (’olloge, Sept. 29.—Tt has just
been tmnonnecil through the Graduate
Manager's office that an interseetional

Ono of tl.e prin:e reasons why stu
dents fail their college work is that
their conception of the \ahie of a eol-
Uge education is very limited. Tf ea h
ono of us would realize before enter
ing college what it signifies to possess
a college education. T feel confideni
that our parents w’ould not receive so
many disappointments as they do. j he
length of time devoted to pvepare our
daily work must be given a very care
ful attention, because the time tliat w‘
dedicate to do onr work will have m
gH'at deal to do with our final grades.
If one wishes to' do his work oflSciently.
he must have snffit'ient time available:
ctherw’ise he will not succeed. When
a person does something in a hasty
manner, it is obvious that he accom-
plislres very little.
The temperature of the room in which
one studi'es must be given considerable
attention, because if the temperature
■of the room is not as it sliould be, it
will be impossible for one to concentrate
npon wliat he is doing.
There are many other factors, which
I •cam’t mention because of the lack of
space. However, 1 can’t fail to say
that a great many of the college stu
dents fail their work because they don’t
know how^ to appreciate the opportunity
that they have to remunerate their
parents for the sacrifices they make in
(*rder that it may be possible for their
chiblron to acquire an education.
Let iis devote enough time to pre
pare our lessons; let us avoid the temp
tation of going to the show every’ after
noon: let us not “sociali/,e” during
forbidden hours; let us not interrupt
our schoolmates w’hen they are strug
gling to perform their «luties; and let
u> bo just a little more appreciative of
the opportunity that w^e now have to
become men anl women of whom our
parents, our community, and our nation
will be proud. If we let some of these
things penetrate our minds and remain
there, I am sure that the “sixty per
cent rule” will be useless.

BEING YOURSELF
One of the predoniinrnt factors which
enable a person to irnke a suc. ofss in life
is the art of b''\ni iiimself at all times.
W)‘on a. mail goes into business, he must
bo liiiu*olf if lie wants to succeed;
otliorw'iso his efforts to roach some do-
sired goal will be futile,
if vou are being yourself, you are
considered a person of talent: a person
of honor: a person of integrity. On
the other hand, if you are only an
imitator, you are thought of as a person
who lacks initiative; a person who acts
fictitiously; a person wlio is unreliable
'for any task requiring integrity.
I if you commence to do somethiig be-
jing yourself, you will be doing well
with God, and at the same time you will
be in harmony with divine principles;
therefore you will not be a failure.
If you happen to be popular for some
reason or other, don’t fail to be your
self, because if you do, you will cer
tainly ruin your popularity. In other
words, if some of us have been given
! the ability to do things better than
other persons, let us remain ourselveB,
Let’s dream tonight iji the moonlight
[Under the star-studded sky
jOf w'hat the future might bring to us
lAnd what we’d like to try.
I )
Let’s live for a while in the future,
I When each shall have tasted of life,
And been moulded somewhat by the
contact
With this groat world of strife.
r'an we tell whether then, in the future,
When each has lost or won,
']) fighting to conquor his weakness
Ere the setting ©f the sun.
Whether then we shall be as now,
Conversing friend to friend,
And having enough in common.
To laugh at the thought of an end?

FRIEND O’ MINE
i
I With yon, dearest friend on earth to me.
One trusty, tried, and true,
I’d like to be alone tonight
Tn a garden drenched with dew.
T
I'd like to aek you a question.
And listen for your answer true,
You are just what I ’d like to be.
Do I mean that to you!
To have such a friend, I must be one
I always fear you might leave
Because my friendship is so small.
And is not the sort you meed.
Teach me dear friend to' prove sincere,
To be trusty, tried, and true,
I The kind of friend you have been to me
II would like to be to you.
