'Polishing the j
apple' has its
pros and cons
The average student sees
Teacher as an old creature who
devises assignments which will
interrupt student life, in order
that the oddity may red pencil
in an unkind and unsympathetic
way the responses ga:nered from
those assignments. It is assumed
that Teacher lives to wet-hlanket
the students' existence. Making
friends with Teacher, the art
known as "apple - polishing," is
taboo.
Teacher holds forth en one side
of the classroom desk and the
students on the other. "East is
East, and West is West; and never
the twain shall meet," said Kip
ling, and he could have meant the
east and west of Teacher's desk.
When Teacher unexpectedly does
not appear at class there is great
rejoicing as the students race from
the room. Sweet liberation from
a tormentor!
Teacher a hindrance.
It is childish of young people
to adhere to the theory that Teach
er is just as scheming, hindrance
to their happiness. If a student en
rolls for classwork, the logical as
sumption is that he wants the
subject as an end in itself or as
a means to an end. Since Teacher
is the master-mind capable of
presenting the work, his absence
from the room should bring groans
instead of cheers.
For the best interests of all, an
atmosphere of dignity and respect
is essential between Teacher and
students. Chaos would result if
Teacher hob-nobbed with the
with the students to the extent
of jitter-bugging with them at
their gatherings. It must be dis
tressing to Teacher, however, to
be placed at the other extreme
and be considered an enemy.
Somewhere between the extremes
should be a substantial attitude
of respectful, friendly co-operation.
An apple for the Teacher was
a charming custom of grade school
days. Even University professors
might like a figurative apple once
in a while.
Kirsch conducts Union
forum in photography
Dwight Kirsch, head of the Fine
Arts department and instructor
in nhototrraDhy. conducted a
Union forum on photography yes
terday. He gave hints on how to
take good photographs, and illus
trated his talk with pictures of
his own. He paid special attention
to work with candid cameras as
that seems to be the most popular
mode of photography today. He
also explained how to take photo
graphs without using cameras,
and how to use various other kinds
of photographic equipment.
Shapely legs win
free pair hosiery
All of ycu ferns who believe you
have Detriech legs may win a pair
of silk hose by showing up at the
Stuart theater during the showing
of "The Earl of Chicago" next
week. If your leg measurements
are comparable to those of the
girl known as "Silken Legs" in
this picture the hose are yours!
Don't worry about a few of
the boy friends standing around to
watch the measurements. A screen
has appropriately been erected in
the lobby by the theater manage
ment and a girl attendant on hand
to wield the tapcline.
