here, mentioned this incident.

Professor Meyer Il could only say it

floor is smooth, but most of the Colum-
bia sidewalks have cruel bumps on
them. When you feel yourself slip
ping, hasten to recline on the walk and
then gently knock the lady's feet out
from under her. This will make it
more comfortable for her and will pro-
duce a feeling of joy that will make
you forget the momentary pain of the
bumps.
The next problem is to get up.
Someone else may want to use the
sidewalk. There are various ways to
accomplish this. but the best Is to inti-
mate politely to the lady that it is
rather ow-down trick to sit on the
sidewalk. Gently boost her up. There
is no way on earth that you can get
up as gracefully as she did with both
feet tied together, so don't try it. After
you get up. brush the snow off her
clothes. say you don't mind your own.

| inspector OF schools. but cannot re

Ohio University and Iowa State Uni
versity were seriously considering the
adoption of the system and may have
installed it by this time.
The history and principles of the
grading system of the University OF
Missouri are explained by Prof. A. L.
Hyde of the School of Engineering in
a recent bulletin of the Society for the
Promotion of Engineering Education.
The first scientific study on the sub
ject of college grades was published
in 1905 by Prof. j. McKeen Cattell of
Columbia University. Prof. Winfield
Scott Hall published a Guide to the
Equitable Grading of Students" in
1906. Then Prof Max Meyer made an
extensive investigation of the grades
assigned during a period of five years.
and in 1908 he explained his conclu-
sions to the faculty and proposed the
grading system which is used today
The faculty talked it over They de-
cided the proposed system was good
and adopted it.
For a while the system used here
was unique. Instructors who came
here from other universities had never
heard of it. They shook their heads
obviously and didn't know whether
they liked it or not. But with increas-
ing familiarity the popularity OF the
system has grown.
Students who come to the University
of Missouri from other states often
say: "Oh, yes. heard about your odd
grading system before l came here
Very interesting isn't it,
Now it is but a question of time,
say those well informed on the sub
ject, till the percentage system will
be a thing of the past and scientific
will be installed in all edu-
institutions.

EDUCATION-WHAT Is 1T!

A good merchant takes an inventory
occasionally to determine where he
stands. Students can well afford to
do likewise
When you are summing up your as
sets. you will come to this-you are
getting an education. But what does
that mean? Does the more or less
artificial method of classwork con-
stitute an education? Does education
embrace only that which you get from
professors and textbooks?
If you want some advice on the prob
lem. We offer the definition of DR.. C.
A. Ellwood in the opening chapter of
one of his books on sociology: "Edu-
cation is not simply the art of develop
ing the powers and capabilities of the
individual; it is rather the fitting of
the individual for efficient membership
for proper functioning. in social life"
Here is something for the grind
to think upon. Is it worth while to
self in books? Is an E. valuable if
the winning of it makes it possible for
the winner to mingle with his fellow
students?
Some students say that they do not
have time to get into social life at all.
The great majority of students who do
not attend church or take any part in
religious work give as their excuse
that they do not have time. Such a
plea is different only in degree, not in
kind. from that of the business man
who says that his work monopolizes
his time.
OF course, there is the other ex-
treme where the college life consists
chiefly in dances. socials and loafing.
Such students are perhaps learning
human nature but they are neglecting
the side of training their own powers
and capabilities.
1t all comes down TO one thing.
There is no need of going to either
extreme. 1t is possible to find a mid
die course and take an active part in
every phase of university life. He may
never get better than an M but he
is best fitting himself for citizenship
and for proper functioning in social
life 1t is for this reason that so many
brilliant students. makers of high
grades. do not make good" in real
life.
Refuse to allow any one side of your
life to take all of your time.
