Hard study. A determination to make P.

The quiet evenings at home, doubled up with
a text book. The reading of stories about the
'Innocents." "What are Innocents, exactly?
Two semesters of study, classes, and occa

Ivv Day, and the determination to watch the
"tradition" of the school. Vague ideas, now,
about what Innocents are. The earnest desire
to achieve a degree of culture. The ballet

The careful preparation cf the term paper.
The tossing of the manuscript into the waste

for a book to copy from. The discovery of a

The tedious monotony of the required
courses. The lure of classes passed up for lack
of time. The thought, "Now. if they did it
this way . . ." The second thought. "How in

dates, or parties, or activities, or routine, or

"Well, I don't really know. What is edu

Home Economics Researi,n
Head Will Make Study of
Mexican Labor.
Dr Marjorlo Ruth Clark, head
of the home economics research
division at the college, has been
granted a leave of absence during
next year and will study the or
ganized labor movement in Mexico
under a fellow ship granted her by
the Social Science Research coun
cil. During Dr, Clark's absence Ar
nold E. Baragar, of the physics de
partment, will work on equipment
studies in the home economics re
search division.
Dr. Clark will continue ner study
which she began last summer.
About Aug. 1 she will arrive in
Mexico City where she will spend
two or three months. During the
remainder of the time she will
study in various sections of the
country.
According to Dr. Clark Mexican
labor had no right to organize un
til 1917. Since that time the move
ment has grown rapidly, being ex
tremely radical for a time. The
movement has been more or less
connected with the American Fed
eration of Labor, which has sent
representatives to Mexico.
The Social Science Research
council, with headquarters in New
York, is made up of all the differ
ent social sciences. Funds for fel-
j lowships granted by the council
arc provided Dy large lounuanoiia,
such as the Rockefeller and Car
negie. Approximaiely thirty fel
lowships are awarded each year.
So this is college! Vet where else could
any young person between the ages of IS and
'22 spend four years to such advantage? Kvcu
the landlady's cat, now. must have part in
the process of administering college educa
tions! Too many things.' Heavens, no!

Honor s?
It Depends
Herbert Hoover spoke yesterday in the
dedication ceremonies for a war memorial re
cently erected at Cornell university, Ithaca,
Xew York. The names of all the sons of Cor
nell who died for Ihe I'nited Slates in the
World war were included in the memorial.
The names of all the sons of Cornell who died
for their country were nol.
For one Hans Wagner, a Cornell man, had
the vast misfortune to die for (icrmany and,
though he died fojr his falherland before
America entered the war. his name was omit
ted from the lisl of those "honored for service
to their country."
"Hoover Honors College Youth l)e;id in
War," says the State Journal headline. Hon
ors? It all depends.
".Mr. Hoover urged his listeners not 1o
glorify war or to perpei nate hatreds, but to
remember ihe ideals w hich possessed the youth
of Ihe country at Ihe lime," read the I'nited
Press report of the speech.
At the same lime, with one man excluded
from the honor roll because he happened to
be a citizen of ihe "enemy country." Ihe me
morial sel ves no other purpose than 1o glorify
war, and 1o pei-pelnate thes4 same war hatreds.
"The enemy" is evidently still the enemy, re
gardless of ihe plalitudes of the president or
of any one else.
It. is too bad. Tin- youth of the counlry are
outraged by the derision to exclude Wagner's
name, however, so perhaps in time ihe situa
tion will be solved "niomatieaii.v by ihe dealh
of those persons suffering from "war hans-
I over.
There seems to be no hope for ihe country
until they do die. Changing ibeir iniuls is
obviously, for them at least, an action impos
sible of iiccomplishmcnt.
New officers were elected to the
student branch of the A. S. A. K.
for the coming year at the organi
zation's last meting of the year,
May 13.
The officers-elect are L. F. Lar
sen, president; Edward Hansen,
vice-president: Albert Molenaar,
secretary and treasurer.
Great interest, acocrdimr to
members, was shown at this meet
ing as indicated by 12 or more
members signifying their inten
tions of attending the national con
vention for agricultural engineers.
The convention will be held at
Ames, Iowa, June 22-25.
Following the dinner which was
served at 6:13 at the last meeting,
Elwood Ore gave bU seminar re
port on "Problems of Farm
