WHO SHALL AND WHO SHALL NOT

WIN SHAIL AND WIN CHALL NOl
President w. H. P. Faunce of Brow
and President Hopkins of Dartmouth
assert that in the future college at
tendance must be restricted to thos
who can profit by it. This attltud
is the result of the large attendanc
at the various institutions of highe
learning the past two or three years
which taxs their capacity to the li1ni
Reports from colleges everywher arr
that the facilities for taking care O
students are literally swamped. DR.
Faunce thinks that many people go to
college who have no business there
and that some means must be found to
eliminate those who are mentally I'M
fit and on whom university education
would be wasted That sounds! all
right, but it would be mighty hard
to prove to the satisfaction of a
young man or young woman, anxious
for education, that they are mentally
unfit: Alse many who are apparent
~ unfit, may, before the close of their
college career, show powers which
were unsupported. 1t would seem, for
the good of the young people Of the
nation, than an effort should be made
to determine, if possible along what
line the young person has POSSIBLE
ties, in case there is ordinary intelli-
gence to build on, and then endeavor
to give training alons such lines.
Such plan might call for some decld-
ed changes in college courses, but
the result would also be worth while.
In many cases young persons who
would otherwise receive no training,
would leave college equipped to do
useful work. 1t does not necessarily
follow that the young man or woman
who is unable to master some partic-
ular branch of education is failure
in all lines.

WOMEN AND THE CIGARETTE
Those who were confident that the |
granting of the franchise to women
and we among the confident ones
would bring about such reforms as
would make the world happier
place, cannot but trust that the de-
mand to be permitted to smoke in
public is not an expression. of the
feminist movement. For
we held that when they had the vote
those creatures whose moral per-
ceptions are more clearly, more def
mite than ours-we should see the
last of brothels, of intriguing profit
teers, of child labor, and of a dozen
kindred evils. 1t were i'll for us, and
i'll for them, if these dreams are des-
lined to float away in the exhalation
