The statement was made by a col lege graduate sometime ago that college students today are not men and women, but overgrown high school boys and girls, and are treat ed as sucli. Sometimes we, who are upperclassmen in college are in clined to tliink the same thing, and to wonder if the fault lies in our own inability to .judge for our selves, or in the attitude of the faculty toward our judgment. In the first two years of college, and in homelife too, judgment, dis crimination and discernment are supposed to have been trained. In the last two years of college, denied the opportunity, or oppor tunities of using our ability. ' loments of decision, that rei bought and good judgment, tlie' de- ision is made for us. We a rained to meet moi •nents of cris ^itli the best that is in us, and wh lian guided to a decision. And that is where the fault li 'e think. Instead of guiding, ai ointing the way, our apparent liildish natures are taken by the hand and led. After college, where are we.? Meeting those same varied obstacles, dependent on S( one to lead, and no one is there to aid. We college students are suffer ing. The problem is not theoretical, nor is it one to be passed over light ly as one that cannot be solved. The fact that opportunities are not given is beyond the power of slimination at the present time, for doubtlessly the theory of modern education in a small college has not reached that point. The fact that must be realized is that a real test of character, and directly the sue- )f education, is the burden of isibility and the ability to car- The student who can thrive responsibility, who can grow under it, is the student wlio can judge, and is capable of solving questions of greater importance.

We firndy believe that the reas college students seem childish is d as much to the students as to t faculty—and the primary solution is a change of attitude on the part of the faculty, and the acceptance of responsibility on the part " ' Exchanges Agnes Scott sent out the health issue of the Agnostic last week giv ing some hints to the wise: 1.
