STATISTICS

Statistics are boring. as a rule.

Statistics are boring. rs a rule.
But not always. BY taking a few
simple facts about Central and
making use OF the simple func-
tons, addition and substraction.
1t is possible to produce some sta
tistics that are not 90 terribly
boring.
The average student uses six
books a year. The average length
OF each book is eight inches.
With 800 students. each using
six books, eight inches in length,
the books used m Central in one
year would, II placed end TO end
reach out 12.400 feet. or over
twenty times higher than the
monument. or would stretch out
we'll over two miles. $685..
Thus, since its opening in 1916,
the books used in Central would
form q line over twelve miles long.
Assuming the average weight Of
a book to be one and one.half
pounds, we can estimate that each
person taking home an average
Of two books each night. some
21,2e4.o0o pounds. or. over ten
thousand tons of books have been
carried into the school since its
opening. d W.
Ten thousand tons makes a
pretty fair-sized steamship.

CENTRAL'S PRODIGALS RETURN
AFTER WANDERING AFFAIR THRU
MYSTERIOUS WESTERN NATIONS

The prodigal son again returns.
After many years of wandering and
misfortune the poor boy turns
homeward once more. This return
has no Biblical setting, but has
come to pass in the course OF
everyday events. 1t IL, however,
no less a fact. and the welcome
no less sincere, than in the original
story.
This time the prodisal son 10
represented in no other than the
persons OF John Espey, Louis
Baker. and Bob Thurber. who have
come back to Central. Early in
the month Of September, the first
two boys forsook the classic halls
Of Central to cast their lot with
Western. During the many months
that they were torm-bound in this
place Of study. fond memories of
Central were ever present. So,
at the beginning Of the present Sc
mester, unable to Withstand longer
the call Of their native school. they
returned and once more took up
their ponderous tasks at Central.
Central's attraction for her for.
mer students 10 % great that not
only Western but other schools
have been unable to retain them
permanently. SO. like the pro-
verbal had penny, these boys have
again turned UP at Central.

to do some special work. but he
kept up in his school studies 30

We were then taken through
the shops Here splendid courses
are offered in pattern making,
moiding. acetylene welding. ma

ably one Of the biggest assets the
school has. All printed matter
used by Tech is done by the stu.
dents, with the exception OF the
Tech Life and The Techite. Well
worthwhile courses are offered ia
mechanical drawing, architectural
drawing, free-hand drawing, and
art metal.
Their auditorium. in comparison
with ours, 10 quite large.
The two rooms which impressed
US most, probably because we
have neither, were the music
room and the hospital. 1t il true
that the music room Is not very
large; nevertheless, 1t is one which
would be greatly desired for East
ern. The hospital Is a large room
fitted up as a rest room, with a
nurse in charge to administer aid
to the sick.
This completed our very pleas
