1t has for a long time seemed neces-

cross between gymnasium and junk
shop. This Is altogether a fatal idea
not only from an artistic point of view.
but from the point of view of the work

Surely If there is anything to be
avoided at college 1t is strain OF any
kind whatever. The sane room, then, Is
one answer to the question of how to
overcome some Of the nervous tension
that seems to cause breakdowns and
the relinquishing of college courses.
The sane room does not mean a col
orless. prlm or cold room. On the con-
trary, 1t means just the opposite. 1t
means a room that Is hospitable, warm

"Stenography" comes from graphic"
combined with "stenos.' which means
narrow in Greek. SO a "stenogra-

simplify the process of removing q
derelict Judge from Office.
It speaks for keeping up the navy,
for encouragement of a merchant ma

post. It endorses the policy of inter-
national arbitration in justifable con-
troversies. ~.,
