Educators have long; considered students too
disinterested in problem of higher learning. The
student, they say, is interested only in his own
accomplishments of the present and hia prospects
or the future, giving little thought to the best
means of advancing the processes of education.
That's pretty true with moat people they don't

Many Institutions thruout the country, faced
with the same problems, have been unable to hit
upon any solution as affective as the Junior Divi

tion Balkania is divided into as many factions and
alliances as there are independent nations inhabit
ing it. The latest movement to gain prominence
there is Italy's secret treaty of alliance with Hun
gary, with Yugoslavia looking on as a very inter
ested third party.
It is understood that this treaty pledges
mutual support against both Germany and Russia.
Hungary leaves the Berlin influence. Italy strays
from the Berlin axis. Yugoslavia smiles approv
ingly. Whatever the treaty contains, it can not be
ignored that Hungary still has claims against Ru
mania. What mention of these in the treaty?

work wisely unless he knows something of the
relativt matters involved.
Universities must find means t equip the
graduate to capitalize on his training. The finest
training In the world is not worth a dime from
a mercenary standpoint unless it can be used ef
fectively to get a job, and subsequently, that
dime. All the degrees In the world without the
ability "to sell one's serf are valueless.
Universities must equip al graduates with
sufficient business training to be able to deal on
something near par with those already engaged
in business. Many business men, strangely
enough, would demaitd the same abilities from
a college graduate as they would from one in
their establishment many years. Their excuse
for "no jobs in sight here" Is often the lack of
this proper training and experience.
Universities must provide facilities for the
co-ordination of groups of business, professional
and occupational specialists Into organizations
capable of carrying out some thoroly studied proj
ects to constantly enlarge the potential absorp
tion process of trained graduates, and to interest
business capital in backing such feasible projects.

Unbalance of Power.
Any attempt to establish order and reason out
of the Balkan hodgepodge meets with utter futility.
Already it defies the Balance of Power theory of
Europe being allied in two armed camps of suppos
edly equal strength. It also defies analysis on
grounds of mutual interests and assistance. It
would appear that hysteria had gripped the popu
lace and governments of theae nations, and that
the first bidder for an assistance pact from a great
power is certain of being accepted. But consider
the Balkan situation in the light of world affairs.
Turkey as the largest of the Balkan nations and
the holder of the Dardanelles is naturally the cov
eted prize. Three months ago Germany and Eng
land engaged in diplomatic warfare for an alliance
with her. Britain won because she could offer Tur
key what the latter needed credit. This gave the
western powers two bases in the East, Greece al
ready having been pledged their support.
