THE AMERICAN BUSHEL.

And now We know what a bushel
really is. The United States Court
of Customs Appeals has determined
that. We will no longer have to dick
er with the grocery man or the fruit
yender about his notions OF the
amount a bushel should contain.
They will no longer need to impress
on us their philanthropic spirit by
showing NOW much they put into that
bushel. No more of that. We know
exactly what q bushel is, and what
it should contain.
A bushel should contain 2,15O.42
cubic inches. There you have it. See
that you get it too. Don't let any
designing dealer cheat you out OF
any of it either. Hold him to the
exact figures. Figures don't lie.
But when you buy apples or pears,
your bushel should be heaped, said
the Court. 1t should then contain e.
747.715 cubic inches. And see that
you get the difference. Hold them to

Why Change Savitar Shape.

stand that the Savitar Staff expects to
change the shape Of this years book.
From all that l have been able to
learn the book will be . by IL inches
and will open on the narrow side. Do
tn editors of this years book stop
to consider that the size Of their book
will be such that it cannot be placed
conveniently in a stack with the pre-
ceding issues?
Moreover it seems that a certain
respect to the past and its traditions
would be shown by having the style
of each succeeding year the same.
What advantage can be derived by
the change of shape is a mystery to
me.

NEWSPAPERS IN SCHOOLS.

NEWSPAPERS IN SCHOOlS.
School is not altogether prepara-
tion for adult life. From the pupils
point of view "it is life" If it is the
aim of the school ito get pupils to ap-
preciate and control values" then
the pupils should be given the instru-
ments by which they may come into
appreciation and control.
Most persons sooner or later be-
come interested in at least some spec
ial kinds of news. This is as it should
be, for no one at the present time
can be an intelligent citizen unless
he has access to newspapers. News
is history in the making; it is the
key to success in business; it is a
moulder of public opinion, hence it
determines action; without news. q
republican government such as ours
would be an impossibility.
II newspapers are of such vital i'm
portance to society, why are they not
of equal importance to the schools!
Newspapers treat directly or indi-
rectly of all phases of value which

preciate and control. In newspaper

The Boardine-SchoOl Girl

whose chief emphasis is laid. in the
prospectus, upon "our cultured at
mosphere," all girls schools present
some of the same characteristics.
Regular hours for sleep. for meals
and for the preparation of lessons are
insisted upon, as are punctuality and
neatness.
1t has been said that girls in a
boarding-s school attempt too many
things to do any of them we'll. One
girl had on her study-card mathemat-
les, science. economics. English.
French, Latin and German, besides a
list of extras" on which appeared
piano and voice lessons, expression,
china painting and Delsarte.
Most schools for girls insist upon
a more or less regularly worn uni
form. for purposes of economy as
we'll as to add distinction to the girls
when "in line" on public occasions.
The rules as to uniform are usu-
ally enforced with a strictness in in
verse proportion to the cost of the
tuition in the school. In some
schools the uniform is required every
day. The girls must never be seen
in the dark blue or black dresses
that compose the uniform. In others
the rule is purely nominal.
"You will need at least twenty
five little white and light-colored
dresses to wear to school, besides the
really fussy ones for dress-up in the
evening"" said a girl from a Southern
finishing school. 1.-The uniform,
why that's to wear to church."
The girl whose education has been
entirely within the walls Of board
ing-school is apt to feel somewhat
lost and out of place when she re-
turns to her home. She misses the
bells which ring for every hours
work, she misses the constant over
I sight of teachers, and above all, the
close community life where every
body's room is everybody else's and
where "the crowd has always been
so vitally interested in one another
that they congregated at all hours to
tell and listen to the affairs of their
members. No amount Of calls from
girls at home can ever quite take its
place.
Two other things have been said of
the boarding-school girl-that she is
impractical and sentimental. I'm
practical she may seem for q time.
When ones life has been regulated
by the ringing of bells from six in
the morning to nine-thirty at night,
one Is not apt to work very syste-
matically when one hears no bells at
all. Sentimental she may seem for
q time. When a very young person
sc es absolutely nothing of boys and
nen for three or four years, and in
the meantime reads perhaps a hund-
red or more popular novels. 1t is en-
tirely possible that she may idealize
some very ordinary human creatures
into heroes.
While many believe that every
girl should really attend q co-eddca-
tional institution because Of the
l.
the boarding-school has no adequate
substitute as preparation for q high
er educational life. No Friendships
, are quite so close as those formed ir
a boarding-school and no memories
, lare quite so cherished as those o.
the years in a college for girls.

A boarding school means, to many

A boarding school means. to many
people, a place where life is one long
(midnight) feast. enlivened with
merry pranks upon any teachers who
may venture to suggest the delicate
question Of study. To others,
boarding school is a vigorously and
properly strict institution where
young girls are shielded from con-
tact with a practical world while
they are being educated.
Either of these viewpoints argues
that the speaker has never attended
a boarding-schoOl. Most boarding
school feasts are not enjoyed at mid
night, and the most severely strict
school is not usually the one whose
pupils are the best educated. in any
real sense of the word.
A group of freshmen in a school
whose rules were remarkably lenient,
disconcertingly SO since 1t required no
special daring to do things that are
not forbidden, once were sitting up
to have a midnight feast. The lights
had been turned of at nine-thirty,
and they were oh, SO sleepy! Two Of
them had dozed of and had been
unceremoniously awakened by the
others, who were SO disgusted with
the weakness of their fellow conspir-
ators that the whispers In which they
all spoke were entirely inadequate to
convey their emotions.
The hOstess's alarm clock said
eleven-thirty. The girls began to
spread out the viands on the floor.
Everything had looked so tempting
three hours before. One girl bit into
a fat olive-and threw it hastily out
of the window. After many cautious
attempts, a match was struck and the
chafing-dish lamp was lit.
1t was just the scene they had al
ways pictured. The pennant-covered
walls. the gorgeously flowing kimo-
nos, the fickering alcohol fame. the
dainties on the floor, and above all
the air of secrecy and mystery. The
sleepy hours of waiting were forgot
ten.
Just then some teacher passed the
room. The girls held their breath
The excitement of being caught and
punished for their daring adventure
would be glorious. They were all
recklessly defiant. A teacher seemed
to be to be asking the Lady Principal
IL she should interrupt the party. The
wise Lady Principal answered. loud
enough for the girls to hear, mo, lei
them alone. They are only manufact'
uring some gay college life to make
their unlucky friends at home envi.
Ous."
1t was too much for the heroically'
attempted midnight feast.
Those schools which rely as much
upon the home training and the com
mon sense of their pupils as upon AM
system of rules, usually attract
class of girls who are more to be de
pended upon than others. While
certain number of restrictions ar
necessary in any institution TO
young people, the modern boarding
school is coming more and more t.

THE VALUE OF CREDIT.

An editorial in q recent issue Of the
Dallas News of Texas brings to mind
an attempt to stamp out our credit
system. 1t is agreed that the credit
system has been abused, for many
people are living far beyond their
means, but it is the abuse and not
the system that is in error.
It might be q good thing il a cred
itless age could be ushered in. But
the credit system has become so vi
tai a part of our economic life that
it is folly to think of disposing of IT..
1t is granted that a cash system
must be the most economic business
method for it would do away with the
extravaganza of many people who
make purchases without thought OF
ever paying for them. But such an
arbitrary system would be a thorn In
the flesh of business. II actual cash
were required with each purchase all
business would become cumbersome.
Credit expedites business.
Again ready cash isn't always at
hand for all classes. The farming
classes must as q rule be carried oveI
from year to year by the merchants
Also there is the further fact that II
a person were required to always car
ry around a pocket full Of money
with him, 1t would only mean q filling
of the pocket book of the hold-up.
But aside from all Of this ther'
is something in the credit system
which cannot be reckoned in mer'
dollars and cents. This is the conf
dence which men have in each other
This is the foundation of the credi
system and the great underlying prin
ciple of all business. To do ava
with this would knock the props fror
under our entire economic life.
