Students Nth Best Chances Block
Own Paths to a Higher Education

That numbers of students come up
to our colleges with this attitude and
habit is evident. Indeed, the arrival
every year of many new students who
have this attitude and habit is the
chief obstacle to college education.
1t is rather rare to find a student in
college who wants to leave it. The
honest pleasures of good c~omradeship,
the glow of the mind and sense of in
tellectual vigor which follow even such
a slight ability to hold oneself to an
intellectual routine as is comparable
to the will-power needed to take a old
morning bath, the sense of being initi-
ated into a class which is regarded as
distinguished from the rest of the ma
ton by special opportunities to develop
in~telligence-all these appeal irresist-
IDLY to ingenious youth. Few students
of college, however, used to taking al
ways the line of least resistance. can

WHICH WILL ATTRACT?

the former, for the parade will prove the superior attraction to
the average voter who has the time and opportunity to witness
If and eniov the picturesque aftermaths in the evening. 1t may
be taken for granted. therefore, that the political primaries, at
least north of New Brunswick, will not be as largely attended as
those of last year, and that the falling off will be greatest in cleo
ton districts that are nearest to the Hudson. The largest default
in the vote will also be represented by the commuter class, the
voters who will be in New York tomorrow and will be under the
spell of the great celebration.
