Kllcklnger, speaking at Northwestern university, affirmed the other day that men do not do their boat work for fear of being "shown up" by the female of the specie. Men.' Is that so? Do you sit around and watch your girl classmates make the brilliant recitations while you listen In just because you do not want to reveal all that you know? Whether or net the statement o!' Dr. Klickinger is correct, there are certainly a great many good, logical reasons why such a condition might rxist. In the first place, men, as a rule, require much of their education from life rattier than books. The fel lowship of others has much to do with the welfare of all successful men and it is but riRht that students should seek to gain knowledge by means of conversations with other men in so far as that is possible. That is the fundamental reason for which clubs and organizations of various kinds founded and the chief claim for the right to exist. It is a good reason and will stand abuse from many quarters without flinching. Hut there is also another reason Men, as a rule, do not care to work at memory assignments. They would rather set the "high spots" than gel the minor details as they regard them. It" they get the main points they will remember them far longer than one is liable to remember a jumble or small facts. This probably figures in largely in their lower scholarship. Itut neither of these two things justify the condition. There is, how ever., one sound argument. Men like to do things. They do not care to spend all of their leisure hours at books. They would rather go for a hunt, fish or engage in some sport. They like to spend many hours read ing magazines an education in itsel! if properly directed. This is the best argument man can make in regard to a lower scholarship. He can train fully say that his education covers a larger field than does woman's; that grades on paper are only the minor parts of one's education; and that na ture and life, combined with knowl edge acquired in the classroom, ar the qualities which make for a suc cessful future. royal entertainment Is being planned and It will bo worth every girls' whlla to attend the affair ho as to increase her circle of acquaintances at the uni versity. Other clubs and societies of the school have' a chance to do good work along this lino during the summer. Social activities do much to Increase the Interest In school affairs. They should be encouraged and Indulged In to a greater extend In the summer school sessions. TRAINING OR EDUCATION? Sitting In the smoking compartment of a Pullman car, the fat man was talking. "The trouble with colleges to day is that they don't turn out enougn men who know anything. The educa tional system of today doesn't give a man or woman any specific informa tion that can be used In the practical business world." "Hut how about poets and nrtlstH and such men?" this from the little man l.i the corner near the wash basin. "A scientific or business edu- caticn won't help them any." A snort from the first speaker was Ids only re- ponse. Then the tall man, wearing glasses, with an academic stoop to his power I nl 'lame, decided to break the si lence: "Haven't you genttemn some thlrg of a misconception of what col lege education really is?" Inquiry fdiow?d that neither of the former .peakers was a college gndeate. "Jc seems to me that the real purpose of higher education is not so much to give young people facts and data as it is to broaden their lives so that from a cultural and even esthetic lioint of view, life shall be more worth living." And alter all, the latter was right A technical education, essential as it is, is only a means to the end of e fuller life. Hut the man or the woman who allows the routine and detail of a technical, or any kind of training, supplant the desire for a quest of km wledge, is lost in a world of fig ures and facts University of Cincin nati News.
