HOMESICKNESS A REAL PROBLEM
At Girls Schools 1t Demands Consideration
Along With Sororities, "Crushes,'
''Feasts'' and the Like.

At the opening convocation in a
girls boarding school, the expression

students Her selection was a reading
entitled Mother" Convocation ended
with the conclusion of that number.
Tearfully and hastily the girls took
their departure. 'Tis said that the

Homesickness is an epidemic COM
mon to boarding schools. In Septem-
Der and January it sometimes proves
fatal. During Christmas vacation the
disease is frequently contracted. 1t is
contagious at any stage. 1t requires
tactful and psychological treatment.
Often a change to home climate is
absolutely necessary to restore the
afflicted one. Faculty members, Y.
W. c. A cabinets, sororities and up
per classmen come prepared with at
tractive remedies and antidOteS to bat
tie with the disease. They are usu-
ally successful in stamping it out after
week or two of arduous labor, and
the first problem that arises in a girls
school is solved.
Boarding School Is Favored.
DR.. James NJ. Wood of Stephens Col
lege accepted the presidency of that in
stitution believing that there was no
place for women's colleges in the edu-
cational system. After two years en-
perience in that capacity he finds
many arguments for girls schools o.
the Stephens type. The :hosr lmpOr-
tant is the protection offered to Il
young girl in a college home. The
fact that the enrolment of junior col
leges has increased 100 per cent in the
last two years and that the enrolment
of women at the University has not
materially increased in that time may
be taken as evidence, he thinks. that
parents deem il more advisable for
their daughters to spend the first two
years away from home in school for
girls.
1t is frequently the case that girls
in larger schools live in boarding
houses and dormitories, where, Doc
tor Wood says, they have no opportu-
nifty to develop socially.
SOrOritieS Powerful influence.
Sororities Doctor Wood heartily in
dorses, while admitting that they may
be the best or worst feature of any
institution. If snobbery and class dis
tinction come into the school with the
sororities, then they are bad; if democ-
racy. loyalty and social ideals are
their characteristics. they are beneli-
cial.
In Stephens College the local soror-
tiles are more democratic than, the
national. Sororities cooperating with
the student senate, are often the DOW
er behind the throne. The mysterious
influence they WELD brings a girl up to
standard in class work and department
more effectively than any other meth
cd yet tried; and when it is all over.
no ones feelings are visibly hurt.
Student government has ceased to
be problem and is now most i'm
portant factor in school discipline The
girls assume their responsibilities
cheerfully and seriously. and the re-

What Is Il Crush!

Snould De tne nrSt consideration OF the
faculty. Every student who enters
college dormitory should have a good
health certificate. Dormitories should
be built and arranged so that each girl
may have ii sleeping room; even sit
ting rooms in common are not alto
gether advisable. Regular meals and
hCu,'s are also essential. These mat
ters are easily arranged in a college
home.
Pray, what is crush?" asked DR..
Wood, when asked if he found
"crushes" Objectionable at Stephens
An article in Harper's Bazaar de-
fines a crush as "slobbery, gooey in
fatuation of one fair maid for an
affinity, soul-mate crush, the hero
worship crush and the professional
Woeship crush and the professional
crush. In the last named, the adored
one works the worshipping one for all
that her monthly allowance will pro-
vide. This writer maintains that the
crush is the most pernicious influence
that comes into girls life. That
girls become so infatuated with one
another that they cannot eat, sleep
or work. The impressiOnable young
things do not understand the meaning
or value of friendship or companion
ship.
Terrible Results of Crushes.
When girl becomes a victim of
"crushitis.' the results are most det-
rimental 10 her stability OF charac-
ter, says the writer. Her power of
attachment is destroyed She loses
faith in humanity. She becomes
most Indifferent creature when she
recOTers. Experiences of this kind
may keep girl from taking the mar
riage VOWS. At all of which, Doctor
Wood laughed loud and long Evident
ly ''crushitis" is not known at Steph-
ems.
The University boys give Doctor
Wood no concern. They have always
conducted themselves as gentlemen, he
says. Town loafers, however, have
caused some annoyance Evidently the
boy problem is no more of problem
at Stephens than "cruSheS."

suits of student government are prov
ing most satisfactory
The Y. w. c. A, next to the student
senate, is the most important organi-
cation in Junior colleges. Membership
is not compulsory, but the entire body
usually belongs. The Y. w. c. A. has
a definite purpose, and its influence in
intoxicating right principles and high
ideals for ii life worth while is the
best a girl comes in contact with dur
ing her college days.
Midnight feasts are inevitable. AS
an outlet for surplus energy, the mid
night feast has no equal. To elude
the student monitor and the faculty
chaperOn, develops certain sense of
humor that is not bad To escape al
ways a summons to appear before the
student senate for such an offense
would mean the loss of an experience
without which college life is simply A
grind. Health, of course, should not
be taken into consideration in discuss
ing midnight feasts from girls point
