ft THE HESPERIAN Intter. A college stocked with children becomes chained to the daily routine of technical drill, leaving no room for the broad drill which should be inseparably connected with it . And children, hurried through the common brances at school, in order to enter college early, are eitficr cramped through out life by their superficial knowledge, or they force the uni versity course to deteriorate to accommodate their ignorance. We believe that the function of the college is not to teach 'readin,' ,ritin' and spellin,' " to fit the carpenter to handle the plane, or the farmer to plow, but rather to guide the as piring mind through the realms of science, literature and art. Let us have a few real colleges and they will be stocked with thinking, earnest students. Thus the high schools and seminaries will rise to meet the demand and furnish advan tages to its pupils who remain there. In this way a spirit of thoroughness will pervade our schools and the general tout of intelligence raised. A Junior co-ed of Minnesota University, inspired by a sere nade of two Junior youths, gives vent to the following poeti cal outburst: , "Hear the war-whoops and the yells, Fiendish yells! What a tale of terror, now, their turbulcncy tells! How they sound, sound, sound, Through the icy air of night, While the fish horns all around, At the windows do resound, With a Lucyfcrlikc delight, Keeping time, time, time, In a sort of "giddy" rhyme To the bloodcurdling illation that so pathetically wells From the yells, From the hooting and the whoop ng of the yells.
