A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.
An artielo by Frederic J. llasklns
Booilng tho arts and science coUorcs
of today appears In Friday's edition
of tho KvcnitiR State Jornal. It pio
turcs tho dabbling tnt a lare "tim
ber of subjects, which Is required o.
tho arts and science student, (lion
continues: "Now, remember lhai no
man is RoliiR to learn about anything
unless ho Is intonated. How many
nun are you RoinR to find who are
interested in nil of these things. Ha
cannot afford io bo much Interested
in any ono of them. It" he were He
would not learn enough about it to
do him any pood. He must bo Jusi
a little interested in each oi tlicni.
Put in the nature of (he ca.se only
about ono man in a hundred feels
anv interest in more than one o
these things which he must studH
and xwoat of them feel no interest in i
any Q' them." - I
We differ with M: Hask!n. lr oui j
amnion, the noimal your.R person is
inipii-f-te-l in ewrj thing, if it is p.-c J
senied in i taking manner. To be
successful alter his graduation a per
son must l:;.ve a great variety oi in
terests. Tho vocation by which a man
earns 'his living is only one phase
of the cumplo?- life of today. Citen
i.hip, religion, social life are a few
of the other phases. Every person
should be able to rub shoulders wil
men and women engaged in widely
varied vocations. Every citizen who
helps regulate the lives of others
should have some undcrslanuing o?
iheir life The arts and science stn
dent must cultivate un interest n.
many things before he can ue tic
oessful in college. Her.ro th" st'vhnt

Another pa:t ol tho article ro'ds:
The man of marked individuality is
not comfortable when he gets to col
logo At bott he Doconn-o
the sort of a fellow who is knoT
in every college by the name of "sor
head.'" It seems to us that trie iucu
ern college or Unlveisity -develops in
dividuality. If a student wishes t
bury himself in 6ome scholastic pur
suit to tbe exclusion of all other ac
uvitics, no one will interfere. Oi
course he will be unpopular in school
ihe earne as he would be oulside, but
his more socially inclined scnooimates
will find enough students of tlvir
own type that they will not rttempi
to 'd.'pg out the bookworm. 1 tie siu
ilort who cares for things outside his
scheduled studies soon finds that ho
must assert individuality or he will
be passed by unnoticed. Surely the
liberal college is not a hindranco to
the development of individuality.
THE SALARY QUESTION.
In a roc nt letter to one of tbe local
dalies a member of the faculty points
out the fact that American colleges
today are deteriorating in their teach
ing forces. Tvr salaries for instruc
tors and high wages on the outride
for college trained scientfic men ar
given as tha causes of this approach
ing collapse in tbe faculties of the
Universities and colleges. True, we
see professors devoted to their work,
worn by thoir ceaseless efforts to
make their specialty better, to learn
and to teach something new to the
younger gcmeralions. Faculty mem
ber who bare spent decades la t
serrlce of tfreir colleges mnn'.nx os

Interesting Table
A table of statistics, presenting a
careful analysis of the grades given
by all officers of instruction in the
University in the year 1919-20 in all
subjects to all students in their
classes, has been prepared by Dr. J.
T. Loos, Trovost of the Uniwrsity.
and submitted in mimeograph form to
members of the faculty.
The table was compiled,- Dr. Iees
slates, in response to a lequo.il fivm
members of the faculty who doei--to
know how their grading compares
with that of other professors and
other departments. The remarkable
thing about the compilation is th.t
the grades for all classes for lite firFt
semester average within 2 per rent of
the average of all grades in the
second seemster. The grades for
second semester run higher than
these in the first semester in nearly
every ease. The grand average for
all departments for the first semester
is 79.04 per cent and for the second
semester SI. 2 per cent
There is quite a marked difference
in the average grades ranging from
72.8 per cent as the lowest, and 90.5
per cent as the highest in twenty-nine
of the thirty-five departments.

And reviews the many cases.
It was said he should have known.
So I turn the many pages.
Till in shadowy design,
I can see the smiling faces.

The gas light seems to strengthen.
With a glimmer of surprise,
As I read I 'low to rest me.
Of the fate before my eyt s.
Then 1 light my pipe in silence,
And there's visions in the smoke.
But it's fate with my professors.
And a flunk will-be no joke.
And again I think of failure.
And the chance once had had.
With a prof I talked together,
OT a future that made me glad.
When 1 should be a lawyer.
And wilh nothing else to do.
But plead the tendered cases.
And tease my stenog' to.
When 1 would be a justice.
And rule the court my way.
And make a few men foolish.
On each bright summer's day.
When was ever grateful.
And I made so many dimes,
I would turn my thoughts in rapture.
And praise those profs of mine.
But now my dream Is broken.
By a stern reality of the fact.
That a flunk is sure to get me.
If I fail to use some tact
So I ' settle down to business.
And 1 work with all my mii;ht.
