Fear Wckes Life
W0len Living Is
p. Physicians Idea
opy The United Press

London, Janf4e.--"Fear makes life
worth living" Sir Il. Armstrong
Jones, a leading physician told an
audience Of doctors in a lecture.
without it, life would be insipid.
There are more than 40 classes
of fear to choose from, including
fear OF the dark, of heights. of open
or closed space, of oyer-large or
over-small rooms, of spiders, rats
and mice. Fears are often inherited
There are several grades of fear
apprehension, anxiety, terror or
fright. They may be shown by flight,
pugnacity or concealment, and can
be induced by suggestion or imi-
tation.
1.-THE frightfulness Of the Germans
in the occupied areas was simply
suggestion.
"The best way to eradicate fear
is to assume a normal appearance.
That is why a chauffeur drives bet
ter in a dangerous thoroughfare with
a cigarette between his lips and why
a youth whistles while going spast a
cemetary at night"

A few feet south of fhc building,

LEARNING TO STUDY.
New System Evolved for the Benefit Of
Slow Students.

Northwestern university has new
system for the benefit of slow. students.
1t involves thorough inquiry into Il
students previous school life, health and
home conditions, and the help of pri
vate tutor in cases which seem worth it.
The system may prove useful in keep
ing students in college who under Sc
vcrer regime would be summarily dis
missed after few months. This may
be wise, for many slow student has
proved more worth while to society
eventually than his more brilliant fell
lows. But it points to the fact that
many students have never learned how
to study before they reached college and
so have missed the main purpose of pub
lie school education.
This is not a matter of Homework"
entirely. Students who have to prepare
all their lessons in school often know
better how TO study than those who are
required to perform long tasks outside
1t is matter of learning to get to work
hand, to stick to it until it is finished.
Parents can help greatly by setting
small home tasks and requiring their ac-
complishmGnt with despatch, undivided
attention and accuracy. If home work
is required by the school, the child should
have proper place, good light and reg
mlar, uninterrupted time in which to do
it.
Tho child who has not the chance to
go TO college needs training in how to
study quite as much as the one who has
the greater opportunity.

Ski-Slide Design.

In direct contrast TO the old Nor
wcgian practice Of having the country's
most experienced skier guess the best
design for contemplated ski slide. stu
dents of the University of Wisconsin
determined the profile of their ideal slide
mathcmatcally, says the October Popu.
lar Mechanics Magazine in an illustrated
article. The topography of the hill was
obtained with surveying instruments,
and drawing Instruments and calculations
did the rest.
The "tuke-of' point. from which the
lean into the air is made. was located on
paper by moving the Jumpers trajectory
into the position which gave the MAXI
mum leap. the length of which is meas
urcd in the air from the take-nff to the
place where the jumpers feet resume
contact with the snow. To determine the
trajectory. the principle of the motion
of proiectle was applied, approxima-
tions being made for the vertical jump
of the rider and of his air resistance.
Astual results the past winter did not
reach the theoretical although it is
thought that ideal snow and wind con
ditions will make the estimated leap of
10 feet possible.
