Why it is that only small portion

The highschools graduate fairly large
classes of students, apparently bright

apex of their efforts in the matter OF

There is no question that it requires
great determination of character ON the
part of students who hazard every

INTERESTING EDUCA-
TIONAL FILM AT UNIQUE

The interesting story of the grow
ing of cherries for those appetizing
cherry pies that mean 50 much to TING
happiness of millions of pie eaters is
wildly portrayed in Cherryland-a
motion picture feature which will be
shown at the Unique theater April q,
at 1870
Cherryland is one-reel feature
production recently released by the
International Harvester Company of
America 1t shows the successive
steps in the growing of cherries in the
worlds largest cherry orchard-an or
chard containing over $4,000 trees. The
film is replete with interest from the
very first scene introducing cherries in
their natural colors. taken by color
photography, to the final scene which
welcomes into the world a freshly
baked cherry pie piping hot from the
oven.
The picture interestingly portrays
the various steps in the cultivation Of
cherries. The clearing of the ground
and preparing it for the young tree,
the careful planting and pruning Of the
trees so that they will start their ca
reers in straight and upright man
ner, the cultivation of the trees, the
treating for the various diseases and
bugs that they are heir to, feeding the
trees, harvesting the quickly perishable
cherry crop and starting it on it's way
to the far corners of the earth-all this
and more is shown in Cherryland.
When you witness this picture you
will realize how science and modern
farm machinery have solved the many
problems of growing and marketing on
a large scale the quickly perishable
crop.
The farmer and fruit grower will
be particularly interested in this pic
ture, for the method of cultivation
used in the worlds largest cherry or
chard can also be applied on the av-
erage farm with corresponding in
crease in efficiency and saving in
money

Such young folks have little time for
the pleasures connected with college
life which we read about. Between
making living and passing examina-
lions they are on the jump early and
late and some with weak constitutions
have to give up under the strain.
The subject is brought to mind by
private report from Madison to the
effect that two university freshman
girls, homesick and bound to spend
Easter at home, started to walk to
their homes near Waukesha, a dis
lance of sixty miles, in order to save
the expense of railroad trip; intend
ing to sleep in barns on the way, and
to return after the Easter vacation
in the same manner. This is not an
isolated instance; the writer knows of
others of the same character.
What must these struggling students
think of the many who go to college
because they must, or because they can
have a good time" there, and who
waste much of their time in day AMI
night Pleasures, often to be "condi-
toned or sent home on account of
poor scholarship? Glorious opportuni-
ties lost! The spirit of the poor stu
dents who work their way through
college is one of the remarkable fea-
lures of American college life and
