FORREST ESTES
For This Issue
BRASS TACKS
Now iiat the Christmas recess is at an end, it is time to settle
doyn to solid studying. The two weeks' vacation gave us a welcome
rest and relaxation. Respite from pouring over books and worrying
over lessons has refreshed our minds, to say nothing of the back sleep
made up. As we entered whole heartedly into the pleasures of va
cation, so we should now forget them and plunge Into our school
work with an equal amount of vim.
The few weeks remaining before the close of the semester are
most important. If work is neglected at this time it is well nigh
impossible to finish a course successfully. Tne reverse, however, is
almost equally true.' If a study is pursue! fiiiihtu'.Iy from now till the
end of the term, even though it was negleciel before, the chancos are
that a creditable showing may be made. The fear that your previous
poor record cannot be overcome by hard work should not prevent you
from making the mrst of the remaining time
EXIT THE WHITE COLLAR
An amusing idea, not without its element of plausibility, in put
forward by a writer who sees the times moving toward a period wheo
the blue shirt associated with the so-called workingman will be 'lie
typical garment of professors, teachers, clerks, authors, nd .thcis;
and the white shirt and starched collar will distinguish the working
man. "Perhaps it will then be said, upon the political stump and
elsewhere," continues the writer that "the honest college professor
in his blue shirt and overalls, with his dinner pail over his arm," or
"the Governor with bright blue patches upon the faded bl-ie lbows
of his proclaiming garment" oupht to have a "living salary" -ind be
encouraged to aspire to the possession of a white shirt and collar for
Sunday. The writer, one imagines, forsees himself in a blue shirt.
And yet under the economic perplexities which now beset us, one
may help by thinking and working in the conviction that a large pro
portion of mankind is honestly seeking the "square deal" for every
body. Christian Science Monitor.
"THE COLLEGIANS"
Another tribute to college students from the outside world was
that bestowed by an editorial writer on the Des Moines Evening
Tribune upon the occasion of the Student Volunteers' convention
recently held in Des Moines. The University of Nebraska was repre
sented by forty-seven students. The editorial ib as follows:
"The young men and young women who are welcomed to Des
Moines today are first of all college students.
When the war of might was on, the military men went to the
colleges to supply the training camps.
Today, when the war of right is on, the training camps again
look, to the colleges.
It is with pride that Iowa welcomes this splendid body. It is
with pride that Iowa calls their attention to the fact that nowhere
on earth are there so many colleges in the same territory or for the
same number of people as in Iowa.
Why did the military camps go to the colleges? Why do the mis
sionary leaders go to the colleges? The answer ought not be lost on
a single American.
The military camps went to the colleges because both physically
sad mentally college men were more alert, more quickly adaptable,
could care for themselves better.
The great religious leaders go to the colleges because spiritually
college men and women are as much more alert as they are mentally
and physically. ,
""There are exceptions. Too many of us get our eyes fixed on the
exceptions and fail to consider that the law of averages always holds.
No matter how many college students have failed, the percentage of
superiority among college men and women is as fixed as anything In
nature One scrub oak or a dozen scrub oaks, or a mountainside of
scrub oaks, does not In any way minimise the oak tree.
We have lost some of the proselyting real of our New England,
ancestors for the college. Our colleges have not gained relatively to
our wealth. We may doubt if Yale and Harvard stand relatively as
high as they did In the days of New England poverty. We need a
revival of seal for broad cultural training. The world Is never go
ing to be saved by men and women who have learned merely how to
make a living, no matter how good a living It may be. It will be
saved by men and women who have come to the larger sympathies
Ind interests of the higher culture.
Let us not miss the significance of the fact that it Is collegians
who are being entertained in Des Moines. That it is collegians who
are golag abroad to carry the message of good cheer to the less la
rored parts of -the earth.
In the presence of this splendid body of young mea and young
women let us all renew our faith in the old New England college,
wtt the public school the distinctive Institution of America, and Itt
us commit ourselves with teal to its upbuilding."
