In spite of a brilliantly promising year ahead, numbers of men
who have missed school from periods of two weeks U two months, ure
withdrawing from the University. Human nature is conservative
we are all likely to underrate our own efficiency and to give the trou
bles that assail us the benefit of the doubt.
There have been various ami sundry good reasons why time has
been lost this semester, if indeed there are ever good reasons for miss
ing school. Some come to take up their work after their absences with
the feeling that there is so much to do to make their hours that it is
easier to lose a.whole term's credit than to make the effort.
Three weeks of the semester remain, in which, time marvels can
be accomplished before final examinations.
It is a serious step for men to quit school now. Education is
going to be one of the foremost characteristics of the new reconstruc
tion period. Those who drop out of school now and put off their edu
catin are taking chances on never realizing the fulfillment of the aims
that brought them to the University primarily.
Almost every man who is leaving now and giving up the hours
that he has registered for, could make a success instead of a fluke of
these past few months.

THE INVASION OF AMERICA BY FRANCE
The American Council on Education represents practically all
the leading national education associations in this country. Through
the Council's agency there has now been and is being placed in
American colleges and universities a group of disabled French sol
diers in order that they may carry on their studies in American insti
tutions. The men were sent by the French government. They range
in age from twenty-four to twenty-seven years, and are nearly all
students of particular practical subjects, such as agriculture, en
gineering, medicine, law. One of the men is a Catholic priest. They
all wear the French uniform. At least half of them have been decor
ated with from one to three medals for bravery. Needless to say, our
college authorities and our students have enthusiastically received such
men.
An equally interesting endeavor of the American Council on Edu
cation has been the placing of no less than one hundred and thirteen
young French women who have come to America to carry on their
studies in our colleges and universities. These young women have
carried on advanced studies at the Sorbonne and elsewhere in France.
They are all of college grade, and are classified in our higher insti
tutions all the way from college freshmen to accepted candidates for a
factor's degree. They all have a working knowledge of English.
They were selected in Fiance by a committee of American women
assisted by officials from the French Ministry of Public Instruction.
The French government assisted in paying their bills.
The American Council on Education also has charge of the itin
eraries of the two distinguished educational missions now traveling
in the United States. One of these is the British Educational Mission,
headed by Dr. Arthur Everett Shipley, Vice-Chancellor of the Uni
versity of Cambridge, and composed of leading educationists, both
men and women, representing the Universities of Oxford. Glasgow,
Dublin, Manchester, and Birmingham, and Bedford College.
The other mission is the French Educational Mission; it ia headed
by Dr. Theodore Reinach, a lieutenant-colonel in the French army and
editor of the "Gazette des Beaux-Arts," that important French re
view dealing with the study of ancient and modern art. There are
seven savants in this mission, representing an equal number of the
most highly developed phases of French life.
Such missions as these, giving Americans opportunity to learn
about English and French educational methods through representa
tive scholars, will, we are sure, strengthen the ties, now so sharply
emphasized by the war, between America and England, America and
France, and particularly between our own universities on the one
hand and those of England and France on the other. The Outlook.

UNI NOTICES
he was not buying decorations for the
table. Silence again! ! !
You reached "O" street, "and he
again asked for Ideas. Very mildly,
you led the way to a Jewelry storo and
asked tho clerk to show you aom
dorlne vanity boxes. To your utter
disgust Bill refused to look at them.
'Why not!" you asked, and to your
absolute amazement he repllod that
Peggy was not tho kind of a girl who
used a vanity box. Not the kind of a
girl who used a vanity box! ! ! You
wondered if Bill really believed in
Peggy's pink and white complexion.
However, It was not for you to shat
ter his ideals, so you suggested a pic
ture frame. "Picture frame." he
snorted, "in which to put some other
fellow's picture. Well, I guess not!"
At this Juncture, tho clerk diplo
matically brought out some dresser
clocks, and Bill waxed quite enthus
iastic, saying that if he gave her one
of those, she might sometime be ready
when he called for her. You thought
frantically of the Big Ben which you
already possessed and vetoed the
clock, Baying you knew Peggy would
not care for It.
With a weary sigh you left the store
and drifted toward Miller & Palne"s,
vhere you chanced upon an enticing
display of silk hose. They thrilled you
to the heart and you knew that they
would dd likewise with Peggy. Bill
C8 attracted by a pair of brilliant
purple hue, but you know'iur Peggy 's
cuiet tastes, lavished your attention
uron a pair of brown ones with de
lightful pink tops. While you were
looking at them. Bill began to blush,
and the blush deepened as time passed.-
Just as you were about to tell
the saleslady that you would take
them. Bill stammered to you that he
guessed that you had better not buy
them as such a gift did not seem ex
actly modest.
In anger you dragged him (figura
tively, although you longed to do so
literally) from the store. Bill suggest
ed that you return to the Jewelry
store. Regardless of your prostesta
tions. Bill elected and bought a sil
ver coin purse. Three men had given
her coin purses exactly like that dur
ing the past year! You could say
nothing but you could think, and you
thought of Shakespeare's little re
mark, ".Many a man hath more hair
that wit." Yea verily!

How Could You, Bill?
Tomorrow is Peggy's birthday.
Peggy says she will be nineteen
years old, although when you first
knew her three years ago, she was
hich in verv strange. Per
haps the fact that Bill is only twenty j
may account for that. However, that
has nothing to do with this story.
Yesterday, Bill telephoaed you, and
in perplexed tones asked if you would
help him select a birthday present
for Peggy. You would, so a little
later, the two of you fared forth to
"O" street. On '.he way, you asked
Bill if he had any idea of what he
wished to get, but as you expected, he
did not.
You suggested that he buy candy,
but in scornful tones he said that he
was buying a rift for ber, and cot for
others, at which you lapsed Into sub
dued silence. A few minutes later
your courage revived a wee bit, and
you suggested flowers, but again he
fixed a baleful eye upon you, and sail
