What About Convocation?
The student who consistently, day
after day, passes up cultural oppor
tunities, such as are offered at Con
vocation, is in danger of being guilty
of mental suicide by willful stagna
tion. True, attendance during Sum
mer School is better than during the
regular session, but, at that, it seems
strange that of a group of teachers
only a decided minority should take
advantage of the opportunities for
cultural development such as are
offered at Convocation every day.
For those who are so closely at
tached to their seats in the library
as to be unable to bear separation
therefrom for even the short space
of a half hour in the morning, forci
ble separation by means of closing
the library from 9:30 to 10:00 might
be of some advantage as a means of
mental discipline.
Nor is the faculty setting a particu
larly good example in this respect for
their admiring students. Only a small
group of a faithful few professors ap
pear morning after morning. Some
spare a half hour now and then, but
theg reat majority stay away entirely.
Of course it may be that some are
already so thoroughly supersaturated
with culture as to need no further
development pr they may feel that
none of their colleagues can tell them
anything worth listening to, but, after
all, would it not profit even them to
attend occasionally? The University
professor is a specialist in some
particular line. In other lines his
knowledge and experience is very
much like that of other mortals.
Consequently the specialist in History
may have something to say which it
would be worth while for the special
ist in Languages to hear, and vice
versa. In this connection it is inter
esting to note that those who do
come are usually those who take the
most active part in affairs of all uni
versity interest and show their appre
ciation of the doings of mankind
outside of their particular departments.
It is not necessarily true that, be
cause a large amount of water is ap
plied to a crop in one or two irriga
tions, the crop gets the benefit from
all the water thus put upon the land
at the point of turnout, according to
the Mitchell Experiment Station.
Two large losses of irrigation water
must be taken Into consideration
run-off and the underground seepage.
The runoff is always apparent and
may be reduced to a minimum by the
careful irrigator by always catching
the run-off from one ditch in the
other, the only waste being in the
end runs and on the last land. The
run-off loss is well taken care of by
most of our farmers, but the seepage
loss has not been called to the atten
tion of the irrigator as forcibly as it
should be, for the reason that it is a
condition that is not easily detected.
