T. C. this week there arises in the mind of each man who is dismissed from the service, the question of what to do now. There is the choice between three courses; to quit school, to stay or to drop out now with the intention of returning second semester. Most men feel uncertain us to whirh is the wisest course to choose. Peace has brought with it an era of unrest to those of school age. Men who would otherwise have desired an vducaiion above all things, feel the unsettled conditions which prevail, to such an extent as to want to give up their opportunities for college training and to take up some form of remunerative lobar. The world outside looks more attractive than it has looked for a long time and at present, school seems trifling in comparison. Such an idea is a snare and delusion. Educated men are going to be more in demand than they have ever been. To those who are planning: on leaving school until second semes ter we would say, all in capitals, "don't!" An intenjion to return to school is a poor foundation to base a future upon. A great deal de pends on the present and on the decisions to be made within the next few days. It is probable that some of the colleges will follow the example the Engineering Colloge has set and allow men to take up work now and by doing heavy work for the rest of the semester receive their full credit as though they had been enrolled in the work for the full term. Instead of losing a whole a whole semester, then, it would be possible, with a little extra effort, to do a whole semester's work in but half of the time. There remains also the fact that school is just beginning to settle down after thv many interruptions and disturbances of the past two years. It is not fair for men who have been here for the first time this year to judge college life at Nebraska by the brief experience they have had. If first year men should leave school now they would carry away with them the wrong impression entirely. There have been so far this fall, disappointment, delay and disillusion, especially among the S. A. T. (Vs. They have 'all been worth while, however, and they have contributed to our funds of -xperience. Although school life at its best is not followed through the flowery paths of ease, it is more satisfactory than the impression it has given thus far. There are better times ahead! THE IMAGINARY BIG QUESTIONS IE. V. Howe's Monthly.) The world has always been oppressed with big questions. To all intents and purposes, there are none; anything too big for the people to understand doesn't make any difference. I do not understand Greek; very well, 1 have no use for it. If a man will gain a reasonable understanding of the subjects "ithin reach, and practice them with common sense and in the light of experience, the big things the reviewers discuss do not actually con cern him. What will happen after the war? If you decently attend to your own affairs, you needn't worry; you will get along in about the same old way; better than others if you behave better than they do, and worse if you are more shiftless and unfair. What is beyond the milky way? I don't know; but it doesn't make any difference to little you or me; the answer does not concern us. Some know, but the knowledge is of no practical use and gives them no advantage; while astronomers have been learning what Is beyond the milky way, you have been learning something else of greater or equal value. Why do the seasons change? It is enough to know they always do. The things of actual importance are simple, and easily understood. I am not an agnostic; I know and I say it with modesty. Others know life as well as I do and better. I have lived a long time, and my real problems have always been of the same simple kind. Being sel fish. 1 have solved them with all possible Intelligence. What "prob lem, in life disturbs you? Any of your neighbors, providing they have lived a life ordinarily full, and have average intelligence, can solve it for you. The simple rules of life ymj discover every day aie as un changing as the rules governing mighty Saturn, and you can safely assume that if you intelligently attend to your little affairs, Saturn will attend to his.

Yesterday afternoon, while sauntering down O street, you were thusly stricken. You dug the remnants of pay day out of your pocket a lone ly quarter, and a few dimes and nick- les not much, but enough to satisfy the yearnings of the inner man. You strolled into a store. There at a little table sat the Nicest Girl and her chum-both favoring you with ravishing smiles. Certainly they would be delighted to have you eat with them, so down you sat. Then the boy came to take your or ders. Ye gods! How hungry those girls must have been! ! They ordered salad, sandwiches, pickles, and per fects. You thought of your shrivel ed finances, and weakly ordered a phosphate (price ten cents), explain ing to. the girls that you had an awful headache. The girls had just started to par take of their banquet, and you of your phosphate (you always did hate phos phates) when a lovely girl with a bas ket of flowers, approached you. It seemed that she was selling the flow ers (or the benefit of the French or phans, and was very determined that you should buy some. In ever-increasing consternation, you watched the Nicest Girl and her chum select some violets. The flowers cost you a dol lar. This left you the vast sum of fifteen cents and the thought of the bill for the food caused the cold per spiration to break out on your brow. A ray of hope! At the next table sat a fellow you knew. You hastily excused yourself from the girls, and inconspicuously implored this fellow to loan you some 'money, but he, too, was rather hard put, and could not do it. You dashed up to the cashier, and asked if you might charge the bill. She pointed sternly to a sign which read, "No credit allowed." You then asked if she would cash a check for you. She pointed to another sign which read, "We do not cash checks for strangers." Your bark was at the next corner, and "hatlessed" you rushed thereto but alas, the hour was four-thirty and the hank was closed. In dsperation, you raced back to the store where you met the girls leaving. They gave you a glacial look, and said they hoped that you enjoyed your lunch! And then people say that everyone has something for which to be thank fulwell, the girls paid for the lunch!
