Such dIsparaglng estimate of the
college graduate as Thomas Edison
could not pass as the last word. From
many teachers in the eastern colleges
replies have been made. A Princeton
professor produced figures to refute
Edison's statement that college men
Shun toll. He showed that in Princeton
University last year that 800 students
earned part of their way in 80 different
ways. A statement from the dean of
Georgia Tech published last week
proves that students in a Technical
school are not strangers to work or
lacking in practical application of their
knowledge. Approximately US of the
l,I7o students registered at Tech this
year are working their way through
school and this does not include the
night school students, thes $50 are
earning their expenses on work done
outside of class hours, including 144
in the cooperative course of engineer
| ing.
The Public Co-operates.
Postmaster General Work has ex-
pressed his satisfaction at the imme-
diate response that the public is max
ing in the observance of the postal
rules recently sent out from the de-
partment relative to the placing of
proper receptacles for the mail at ev-
cry door to expedite the work of the
carriers. Probably there is no govern
mental agency that appears to minis
ter SO directly to all people as their
postal service and their praiseworthy
cooperation is due to their apprecia-
ton of its benefits.
War Measures Revived.
In Prussia beginning December 1st
the policy of rationing sugar was a
gain introduced as was practiced dur
ing the war, and brought about by
scarcity of the product.

Find Yourself.
A vocational guidance expert il
Chicago who has marvellous success
in placing clients in lucrative and res
ponsible positions says he brings into
his delineations all the science and thu
art that his experience as medica
practitioner and psychological studen
can give. him, but that his service!
would not be needed if people would
study to Find themselves" First of al
he declares that the silly adage 81 car
do anything that l will to do" is one
of the most absurd fallacies ahoat. Nc
such thing is possible, our faculties are
inherited and are possible only of Z
certain expansion thru education. Brief.
ly the points to be considered accord
ing to his belief are the persons ply
steal condition, the mental ability, he
redity and environment. After correct
placing, is attention to your interests
even in the reading of your newspaper,
with first attention to your immediate
interests and not the irrevelant mat
tiers like sports, etc. How can your
mind grow if restricted to such speci-
GUS subjects as crimes, banalities, Chi
canery, frivolity, he says. The mind is
like the body in this respect, it grows
thru what it feeds upon. Then direct
your attention to your interests, and
Your energy viii go with your atten-
ton and success will 20 with your
energy. The advice is good and easily
followed but as long as we cannot III
agnose our own cases the doctor will
be able tb collect his fees.
Every time the giant liners, Maure-
! tania or Majestic make voyage they
are made to break the world record
or else their own, till it seems as if
the speed demon is at work on sea as
well as land. There must be limit
that one of them will yet reach by a
catastrophe. Pride went before the fall
of the Titanic which also made record
speed for that time. The last world re-
cord is held by the Majestic which
arrived Friday at Cherbourg France
from New York in 5 days and hours
