ARE As UNFRAMED AS EVER
French studonts Have Not Changed in spfvff, Though Less Plotur-
 esuua Than Formerly.

One might almost say that there Is one unchangeable feature of Paris and that is its students. It is true the students are not now quite so pictur esque as in the days of Henri Munger. but undoubtedly their spirits are the same-they are still as untamed and riotous The disturbances that have taken place recently have arisen sim ply because the students for the bac calaureate on the classical side discoT- cred that the paper in Latin set them was intensely difficult, while the pa. per in Latin set before their rivals on the modern languages side was very easy. Hence shoutings. parading of the streets, demonstrations, stone throwing and window breaking, "con- squeezing and all the other various manifestations of the turbulent and dissatisfied student
 The class rooms have been held by policemen and the students have had several times to be summariIy elected, although on more than one occasion they burst open the doors and forced their way in again. The most comical feature of the whole business was to see and hear large procession of demonstrating students singing along the boulevards in monotonous drone the very passage from Cicero which had brought about their downfall, while their modern languages col leagues sailed easily into port on 8 passage from Julius Caesar.

To be honest is more than to re- tra1n from stealing another mans purse, more than paying the exact number of dollars you owe Honesty means far more than not defrauding other people financially. It means nothing less than not defrauding your self by your own plejudices and judg- ments. It means dealing fairly and squsrely with yourself; looking at yourself with the same eyes with which you dissect the conduct of your associates. Clara K. Bayliss.
