WORK FOR THE NIGHT IS COMING.
Work for the Night is Coming."
This makes us think of a hymn. Lint
it is quite applicable to all of us at
this University. Nov is the time to
get in the best strokes that we may
not grope in the blackness during ex
amination week. Examinations will
not haunt us quite so much if we know
we are prepared for them. If we set
a particular grade as a goal or semes
ter average in a certain subject it will
be easier to attain a higher rating.
Don't skip a class simply becaus-?
you are not prepared. Sometime or
other we all fail to got our lessons.
A wise man recently said that a stu
dent who simply goes to class each
day, listens diligently in class aril
takes copoius notes, cannot fail even
if he has neglected to do much outsid ?
preparation. Of course, this is i
radical idea and will not work in
mathematics and language courses, but
it is surprising how it will work some
times in a few courses. It is not a
good practice to follow, but it does
explain the theory that a student
should not register a FAILURE in any
subject. Your work from now on will carve
a large notch in your grade for the
second semester. It will be unneces
sary to bum midnight oil at the last
minute if you conscientiously apply a
little oil to your gray matter each day.
It has been suggested to us that the
old flag-stones in the walks just out
side the front gates of the University
be replaced by more modern stones
which will not hold rain water so
readily.
It ought to be a real treat to hear
the 30-piece band at the Farmers' Fair
play grand opera tunes in rag-time.
If Donizetti heard his Sextette from
Lucia interpreted in ?uth a manner,
we wonder if he would start to toddle
on the, sly.
The short courses at the Farm seem
to be proving very popular. It n
rumored that some studi-i.ts wish suen
courses established on the city campus.
"The shorter the better" they say.
KNOWLEDGE A LA MODE.
Knowledge a la mode is knowledge
wi'h garnishments. Il.it such knowl
edge is usually possessed by a person
who is entirely unconscious of its
existence within his or her versatile
biain--if brains can be versatile.
The student who knows his books
in a practical way and knows how to
apply their contents in nn every-day
way has KNOWLEDGE. The student
who, in addition, has observed how to
meet others, how to speak in public,
how to dress correctly, how to make
use of his powers of observation, etc.,
has KNOWLEDGE a la mode.
It should not be our aim to emerge
from college mere book worms. The
P. B. K. of today is not a college
recluse who spends his time in a
secluded nook with only a musty book
for companion. Some of the best ex
amples of Phi Beta Kappa this year
are students who have found time tD
famish their knowledge with the
iknigs that go to make personality.
We tope that students in general
knew more about the geography of
our country than the members of a
tfass at his University, who had to
ek the professor to tell tbem the
location or Ft. Wayne.
And -we hope that students dont
think the same us the Chicago negro
Tvbo helleved that, in case the presi
dent should file or hecoroe incapaci
tated. Mrs. Harding would assume the
"L cuioi executive.
EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
(Syracuse Dally Orange.)
WHAT COLLEGE STUDENTS
DON'T KNOW.
"An information test recently given
to a good sized representative college
group chosen nt random from among
ihe (liferent classes and sexes revealed
sueh interesting facts regarding the
(ontent of their minds as to 8tim.ii
lute some concern on the part of their
instructors, and, in the case of a few
at least, to suggest a problem as well
as insinuate a doubt," In this man
ner Professor Paul V. West, of the
University of Wisconsin, apprizes us
of, literally, "what college students
don't know."
The practical value of seemingly
simple forms of instruction is proved
by the recent inquiry into what col
lege students know. Put perhaps the
humorous side is that the inquiry re
vealed what hey don't know. We
give in part what was discovered bv
Professor West in his inquiry and
leave, as a problem, the question for
serious thought by faculty and stu
dents alike:
"Put we received a real shock when
we discover that a chameleon is voted
a member of the bird, insect, and
fish families by twenty-three per cent,
tour per cent, and four per cent, of
the group respectively; while another
thirteen per cent give up the problem
of classification as a thing impossible:
to that one can say that only a little
over one-half of the number really
know that a chameleon is a reptile
that changes its color but not its
genus,
"Geography does not make any bet
ter showing: in fact even a lower
grade of recognition is here exhibited.
It need not affect the world's happi
ness greatly if one third of our stu
dent body would take a liner for
China if their destination was Tokyo,
for the name of this oriental city
does sound Chinesey. Put ti would b?
a decided affront to some of our time-
honored American institutions if thev
should learn that out of one hnndrel
students who wish to attend Vale Uni
versity, four would have to look ir.
the atlas to know what part of the
world they were bound for, while six
would purchase tickets for Ithaca and
thirty-six would proceed blithely on
their way to Cambridge. But one ar
rived in New England, two of them
would be forced ttohe discovery that
Boston is not a city of Maine, and
one would find, not without surprise,
that Massachusetts, instead of Con
necticut, claims the honor of harbor
ing the Hub.'
"We ought not to blame too harshly
that ten per cent who give Poe the
credit for writing 'The Scarlet Letter',
or the four who attribute it to Kip
ling, for after all, the title is sugges
tive of the temper of either rather
! than of a mild man like Hawthorne.
Fifty-eight out of a hundred students
do not read periodicals and news
pi.pers enough to know Arthur Bris
h, no as a journalist; some forty-three
preferring to classify him as a comic
artist, actor or athlete."
The above facts are only a few of
tli" many which were brought out by
the inquiry from the group of college
students and suggest to our mind that
aside from the apparent humorous side
of the matter there is reason for seri
ous consideration in this ignorance of
the college student today of these
simple forms of instruction.

Waitings of Spring.
O cosy w rap, with feline collar!
.lust to have you round me this day
To still my shivering form.
I would give up my gay but unsub
stantial sport clothes.
True you have seen two seasons' moth
balls.
nd you are not made from ex-muss
rats' skins,
Nor have you ever wiggled on artie
rocks.
But were made of humble well lined
cloih.
Oh why, in haste at Easter time.
Bid I fling you in my cedar box at
home.
And replace you with a hard-earned
gayer garb?
Ah, today I shiver with repent and
. cold.
Licentious Worse.
Our Inquiring Reporter

Today's question: What is your
favorite popular sheet music in vogue
now?
1. Rutgers Van Brunt, 1548 S St.:
"Alice Blue Gown" I sing it every
r.iorning ust after I get up. We don't
need an alarm clock out here, because
I'm the first one up.
2. Zoe Schalek, 1237 R St.: I be
lieve I like "I Never Knew" about the
best. It's so peppy.
3. Laurine Oetgen, 1414 G St.: "Do
ou Ever Think of Me" makes me
just want to scream it's such a good
fox trot.
4. Gene Porter, 1141 H st.: "Rose"
is my favorite.
5. Evea Holloway, 1527 M st: "My
Mammy's" got 'em all skinned. But
then "I've Got the Blues for My Old
Kentucky Home" is running a clos3
second.

Here is something that looks like silk, even
after they are washed; the coloring's are those
you find in fine silk fabrics.
The manufacturer says "the material is im
ported." He also says, "that the shirt will give
a lot of service."
If the manufacturer says all that and
Armstrongs' guarantee satisfaction too you
won't be taking much of a chance, will you?
