It is frequently reiterated that tin true value which the student derive. frem hi. education belongs only to self-education acquired by personal effort. The responsibility for the stu dent's edueatiou does not rest ciitin ly with tlio fatuity. The stu!. -v.; must make the effort. Me must 1 ' awake intelleetually. A number of methods have- 1m :i deviled whereby the University hell's to guide the student towards niakius: self education easier. In order that the student will not spread his stud ies over too great and diversified a field without gaining an ' understand ins of any one subject, students in the College cf Arts and Sciences are reqirred to fill certain requirement as to majors and minors. The Felection of a major subject in which a somewhat advanced study must be made and of a minor which will co-ordinate with it should ! carefully considered. Interest in th subject and the possible use nia.k of the training received after the col lege education is complete must count i.s factors. The student who has completed his major ;-.-d minor requirements sup posedly has a good knowledge of cer tain specified subjects. At least ho has taken courses which aggregate a specified amount of required credit in these subjects. But suppose a general examination should be given over the whole Bubject, an examina tion which does not alone touch the specific courses the individual stu dent has taken but touches the gap' in between these courses-. Could the average student pass it? Has he a conception of the subject in which he has specialized as a whole or only of isolated fragments of it? Has he learned to co-ordinate his w-ork? Self-education should enter into the work in the major and minor group studies in a way which will make the student' seek more knowledge on the subject- He should remember to view his studies as a related whole instead of as individual studies, the completion of which will eliminate any necessity of thinking more about them. If the attitude is one of eager in terest in gaining knowledge of a given subject and not of makin? enough hours to fill the rronp ir-q-.iirements the University stu.'y win mean more to the individual. Thr-t.-fore care should be takf-n in t'v choice of majors and minors in or der that every student will l.av th incentive to interest himself !n the whole field of knowledge. der our present academic, order nr provision Is made for informal gnth eriugs between professors and Htti tli nts other than the more or Ies? perfunctory consultation which is, u. a rule, limited to formal matter con cerning one particular course. Per haps, the most effective manner of fostering the desired personal com niuniou u ml 0110 that Iiub already been practised advantageously by certain professors on the campus Is for fac ulty men to Invite students to their homes for informal talks under condi tions most favorable to freedom of ex pression. The student gains much from thio informal talks that It is practically impossible for him to derive from a class. The professor is merely one 0? the group and the human element present in him of which the student may not have been aware before i brought to light. The mature view point of the former serves as a guld- to the latter's mentnl outlook which Is apt to be somewhat narrow. Hut most of nil, students profit immeas urably by becoming intimately ac quainted with a well developed personality. IVcause of the success the plan has met with in the few instances it lias been carried out. and the advan tages enumerated above which app.'a' to be linked with it, it might be ad vtsable that this custom be adopted more generally on the campus. A professor whose class Is relatively small might invite a part of the mem bers to his home for discussion at di'ferent times during the semester, making it possible for each studeu1 who is desirous of taking advantage of this opportunity to come into per sonal contact with his professor throughout the school year to do so. The homo a'mosphero tends to dis lri (he formality which is almost certain to pervade a discussion tak ing place on the third floor of the Union, in the classroom, or in the professoi's oifiee. Only in the proper atmosphere is free exchange of ideas, so necessary to any real creative work, likely to thrive. Michigan Paily. HUNDREDS OF POOR BOYS EARN WHILE THEY LEARN 1 HI v a j SL ' 1 AS WE HAVE SOWN. Purine the semester Just ondirc each student has sown his field. Now the timo of growth is up, the day of Judgment has arrived, and as he has fo n so shall he reap. Those who have hoed their rows faithfully and conscientiously, atil have clung to their primary aim (o get all possltle out of their course will find that their application was worthy endeavor. He who ha? in dulge.l in that procrastination so fatal to achievement will awake to the perilous position in which ho finds himself. Just as a neglected field produces nothing but weeds. . neglected course develops brambles that Fpell failure of purpose. It is no longer a question of Ir flunk or not to flunk. Fat is do termined now, and its ingloriousness or its worthiness are very soon to be placed ineffably on record. There is no relief for wr.at Has been done or not done last semester but there is Re opportunity to profit by experience and to resolve to do betfer next time. Contemporary Opinion An Invitation. Students for the most part would like to come into more Intimate con tact iUi their professors, even though members of the lat'er group are not always aware that W is the case.

Truly a poor boy's college is In diana university where 65 trade3 and professions are being prac'.i?ed by hundreds of students going through on their own resources. From banking to window wash ing is a far cry, but the spirit of democracy prevails, nd no honest way of makinir a living is regard ed too high nor too low bv any of the 3200 students enrolled. Al though exact figures on the stu dents' incomes are not obtainable, the ". M. C. A. ei. pioyment bu reau reports earnings of $7,000 b. men students doing odd jobs in . period of two months. Poor boys and girls are attract ed to Indiana university first by the fact that no tuition is charged The continger1, fees amountin to $50.00 a year, are lower than in most other educational institutions of first rank. Economy with the student body is the rule rot the exception. Probably most of the students spend, exclusive of rail road fare and clothing, from $350 to $500 a year. That these con ditions have made a wide appeal is indicated from the fact that twenty states and eighteen nations are represented in the present en rollment. To provide for all some of the comforts and social life which rich men's sons and daup'iters enjoy at school, 27,000 alumni are rais ing a fund of Sl.r.OU.OUO with which a union building for men, a mod 1 dormitory for girls and an ath letic stadium will be erected. These will be constructed of Indiana lime stone in conformity with other buildings on the campus. Among the occupations listed at the university's various employ ment bureaus are: cnipetiters, pharmacists, chauffers, sign point ers, plumbers, bankers, paper hang ers and painters, automobile me chanics, piano tuners, musicians, clothes pressers, clerks, typists, gardeners, farmers, furnace ten ders, yard men, housekeepers, bookkeepers, electricians, tutors, soda fountain boys, barbers, shoe shiners, waiters, Loarding house purveyors, elocutionists, swimMv instructors, stenographers, se secretaries, assistant libran.. , dressmakers, seamstresses, lauti drymcn, office secretaries, account ants, window washers, corn husk ers, dishrashers, waitresses, cooks, b-kers. eo'ohlers. groc :ry drivers, nurses, movie operators, news boys, she.-, metal workers, telephone operators, bell boys, t ' clerk, typesetters, linotype operators, cistern cleaners, baggage m m. ,'oal handlers, butchers, riding instruc tors, caddies, porters, time keep e. ., apple pickers, wood choppers. Course in Costume Designing for Co-eds A course in costume design is open to all University women who have had Fine Arts 15 and 16 or any other satisfactory courses in design. This course is offered each semester at the Agricultural College. Such a course should be a useful oue to all women who are interested in choosing the lines, colors, and ma terials which are best suited to their particular type of personality. The course stimulates better taste in the selection of clothes and allows the student to study her own personality and then decide upon the type of clothes which are best adopted to hot. The instructor is Miss Morton, the head of the textiles and clothing di vision, and the course comes Monday. Wednesday and Friday, from 3 to 5. Minnesota Uni Gives Course in Embalming More than 6u undertakers are en rolled at the University for the new "Short Course in Embalming." which is to be offered at the medical school this fjuarter. under the auspices of the Extension Division of the University, combined with the Medial depart ment, it is reported from several dif ferent sources. And not the least feature of the project, is the fact that at least four of them are women In an effort to seek authority for the statement, a Daily n-jmrter called the offices of the medical department in which the course is to be estab lished, but the operator reported a "dead line." The rumor is taken for authentic. Applicr.nl s for the course are re quired to possess at least one year or high school education, one year of practical experience in the embalming business, and they must be 'possessed of a (good moral character. No separate stipulation Is made for the women who register for the course. Members of the University faculty, as well as representatives of the Statr Board of Health will provide instruc tion for the budding undertakers, it is reported. A University certificate in embalm ing is offered as the reward for the completion of the course. Following the possession of a certificate, a presentation of five dollars will pro cure for the applicant a license to practice on all eligible candidates. For the first ten days of the course, practical instruction will be given by a well known specialist. Demonstra tions in practical embalming will sup plement the course from time to tinib during the quarter. These demon strations will be conducted by leading members of the Minnesota Funeral Directors' association. Minnesota Laily. aristocracy of brains which has come to the assistance of the world.

IT was a ynie who said :"Some men o to college. Other men study." A slander! I Jut yet there probably nre college men whose bills lor midnight oil are not large. And there are men who left, school in the lower grades who, along with a hard day's work, Ii:t in long hours of study spurred on by a dream and a longing. Ixok out for them. The achievements of non-college men in busi ness suggest an imortant fact. Success seems to deiend, not so much on the place where a man studies, as on the earnestness of the student. IJut, granting equal earnestness and ability, it is still true that the college man has the advantage. llegular hours for study and lecture, the use of library and laboratory, the guidance of professors, contact with men of the same age and aspirations all these will count in his favor, if fie makes the mas! of them.
