winter, anything that doesn't

Gimme my boots.
To keep the shapely ankle from
the feathered ice the ingenious
lassie has taken to the riding
boots and with these leather cov
ers comes the jodhpurs and riding
breeches. One professor the other
day came into class and viewed
the majority of coeds shielded by
skin following breeches and boots.
He scratched his head and smiled
quizzically and said, "Where are
the horses?"
These fur lined and trimmed
enow suits look as if the big bad
girl scared a, poor bunny out of
his skin and then jumped in. A
comely lass .walked into the Corn
Crib past a couple of very puny
fellows. One of the lads with his
eyes trained on the bit of femi
ninity garbed in a scarlet and
cream ski suit said, "That girl
surely looks keen in with pants
on." The other guy bent his eyes

The knee-length Scottish socks

unfriendly criticism are now the

these questions

"Don't propose on a moonlit
night beside a lake unless you
decided to the day before. You
may be sure then that it was not
the romantic setting that brought
it about." Thus warned the
Reverend Henry H. Lewis, speak
ing to a University of Minnesota
audience last week.
And the minister warned the
students further. "Don't get mar
ried the first time you are des
perately in love. Wait until you
get your feet on the ground. There
are too many persons who do
and are sorry for it afterward."
Then the minister gave seven
warnings to remember before you
take what is tritely known as the
fatal plunge.
1. Do you love that person?
2. Remember when you marry a
person you also many that per
son's family.
3. Do you like the friends of the
person you are planning to marry ?
4. It is all-important that a per
son be proud of his life partner.
5. Happiness in marriage is
much more likely to come when
one of the artners is willing to
give up his or her religion and join
the church of the other.
6. You can be desperately poor
and still be happily married if you
have a hope or dream before you
and you are constantly working
for something better.
7. Tie your life to something big.
Invest your life in something
bigger than the two of you, in
some unselfish work. Then you
will find happiness.

Civilization depends on democracy.
"The achievements of civiliza
tion should be enjoyed by all the
people. Archaeology has seen too
many civilizations crack because
their achievements were in the
possession of a few. Mexico had a
high Intellectual development. But
when Cortez sliced off the heads
of the few in command, the whole
thing dropped again to the level
of peasantry."
"Our civilization will continue
as long as education Is the priv
ilege of all. But those are bad
signs when tuitions rise, weeding
out the poorer students: when
schools are shut down depriving
some 50,000 children of schooling;
when there is talk of taking the
iight of suffrage from those un

Likes "Grapes of Wrath."
He Is enthusiastic about "Grapes
of Wrath," thinks Steinbeck did
an accurate job of portraying mi
gratory workers. Bell saw many
such scenes as described In the
book on a tour of the drouth bowl
states last summer.
Ho cannot understand why men
who develop inventions, such as
television, with comparative case
refuse to put their energies Into
plnnning a better social order.
painless fashion if they want to,"
he says. "Yet we cling blindly to
old values. Men think that if they
have once invented a social order,
it is holy. We hear much about
the constitution as tho it were
handed down by God when ac
tually it was written by a bunch
of politicians. It simply has the
aura of antiquity about it."
As he talked, Bell Jotted down
some of his ideas. So succint a
summary of his beliefs are they,
that we reproduce them here.
IDEAS OF EDUCATION,
by Dr. Earl H. Bell. '
The best education is two men
on a log trying to solve a problem.
A class should be a democratic
institution with a camaraderie be
tween student and teacher. There
is too much sham hocus pocus in
education.
Both students and teachers have
a tendency to place the teacher on
a little platform from which he
hands out "education." The
teacher then becomes a priest of
education and all too often th
priest and his sayings become con
fused with the god and his will
Many evils develop around
priestly organization. And here
I'd like to give you a tip. It is
very rare that an institution is re
formed by its priesthood or those
within. Reform has always come
from the layman outside. The
priests soon get so many vested
interests that they believe the in
stitution exists for their benefit
rather than the benefit of the
people. I truly believe that edu
cational reforms will be most like
ly to come from the demands of
the students.
Democracy develops leaders.
Autocracy develops leaders. Au
tocracy develops docile boot lick
ers. I resent docile students who
sit anu write down without ques
tioning the gems of knowledge
that drip from the tongues of the
professors and then hand them
back in an examination. Such a
process Is the opposite of edu
cation and the greatest danger to
democracy. It Is the leader prin
ciple of naziism at its worst.
