It waa a sleepy sort of day. the class was about half the usual size and the Professor was calling the roll In a half-absent manner.

STi nK.NT 01‘IMOX O.v Ai'i'Hi'X iArin.v oi'‘ Music How many times I have heard girls .say they wished they could learn to appreciate music. Indeed this atti tude Is to be commended, becauBe music is one of tiic wonderful arts and It develops Intellect, linagluatiou, and fninlions. Kven though every girl can not specialize in music, she ahould not be kiprivod of the pleasure of appre- criatiug really good music when she hears it. I lliinlc the A.B. girls were advo cating a course in this training not hmn' ago. Out even though it could noi bo put in this year, the majority of the A.B. girls still want it for next sear. It is needless to add that the girls who arc making music, their major subje-( would be glad to take a regular rnursc in the appreciation of mn^ic. The need for this course has struck me more forcefully lately than ever licforc. While listening to really good iii!-i riunonlal anil vocal music people may hr' seen who are nntouched and whose faces are absolutely blank, (ithcrs ar' positively l)ored. i don’t idamc theses people at all. I only feel v>ry sorry for them. l)ecauae they do iKti know and can not understand whal lliey miss. (liris, let's uot let our apjieai tor a criurse in the appreciation of true bi'iiniy and worth go unanswered. 0.\ TAS’i'i-; How many of us like lo luivu said of us. "HIk‘ has such good taste,” Our clotlii’s iinii our general apiiearanco should siiow forth our personality. SVc want fii be individual, don’t we? Then let's make our appearances Indl- vhlual. Let's not arlvertise any cer- laiii braml of niUAe or li)i-slick. Then, iciij. h-fs our imlividuality when ihinking aiioul cuir hair and not Loii it off l)i.-causi- our special friends hnve done Unit thing. Above all, girls, lefts not nuike oursi'lves look conspiciuous, but kec]) a tiigniiied simplicity, which is the luilghL of ‘‘good taste" and the es.sence of charm. WHAT IS EDUCATION? or what does nn ertncatioi: consist? la It merely preimrlng asslgnGd Issaons in order to go to class and recite them afterward? Or is it sonielhlng more? Of course, this Is Indeed a necessary ixu't of our education, but tliere is also another phase ol' this educatioii which we are attempting to acquire, and which some of us let pass by Miv noticed with the excuse, "I haven't time.” That this is merely an o.x- etise was shown in the case of some few during Iho past week when Dr. Siiaw, editor of the lirnivic of Jlr\}if >rs. delivered a lecturc to the Histoi'lcal Association in our own auditorium. Where wore we at that time? And with what were we occupying our val uable time? Even if we did have les sons to prepare, we certainly could have prepared them beforehand look ing forward to that occasion or even put them off until a hxler time, but still not neglect them. We would have Ijcneiiled mure by rnnson of hearing such a noted ninn speak more than a great many dHHcult lessons which wc puzzle oitr lorain over. Even though we do pass iip tliese oc casional lectures as unessential to our education, what about tiiose to which we are reciulrerl to attend? 1-iow often you hear the cineatioii wlien there is to tie aucb a icctnro, "Do we have to go?" The reply quite often is “No, they have no way of telling wltether you're there or not." On tiie other hand, we ahould eagerly avail unr- selves of s\ieh an opport\inity, and regard it with a sense of pleasure and uot of being conipGlled to do aonio- thing against our will, in not going to sni^li lectures, wo are not only breaking a college regulation, but also inflicting a loss upon ourselves, while, on the other Land, with the pj'oper attention o»ir views would be broad ened along other lines o£ study in ad dition to that to be gained only from bcuks. IS MKJMiDlTH IN'I'UKISTEl) IN THE PEACi: PUOBI-KilI (Conliiiued Jrom paye 1) "Knowletlge pafsses. but wisdom ig nores." Let us not suparatB the t;oI- Icge-gaiiied knowledge from the wis dom requi.sito in contemplation of less local affairs. ijct us cease to think so strongly of the partially unsatisfactory feeling existing between faculty and student. Lot us discard any rag of contention wliich nuiy bo among us. Let us cut out the gab-fests, reiitacing them by wholesome, lielpful discus.sions of sub jects that should mean Mon:ethliig to us. W'c are In the finest school on oartli, and our standards are excellent, tint we are lacking in a keen appre ciation of outside events, and our connection with them. Ho. wtion you again, in view o£ the aiiproutlung holiday and reception, kneel down to in'ay. let it include not only. "near God, iiieaso send me a beanti- ful new i.'voning dress, a good looking young man—and If I may ask it— some flowers for the reception Wednesday night," but — "the desire to subordinate properly the little things of life lo those which art; imixirtaiit—to have the right por- ••iin'ctive. and an Increased faith in the liowor of spirll.ual and mental cn- operation." fJoth prayers como from a sincere, to-bo-expeolcd phase of the girl's enio- Lions and mini, botli aro alt right.
