Gerald was absolutely amazed as he
led MYRTLE back to their seat In the
palm court Of the hotel. They had
lunched, wandered about the town, and
afterward made their way back to the
hotel lounge, where a tea dansant
was in progress.
"Why, where on earth did you learn
to dance like that, MyrtileT he d.
manded.
She laughed softly.
Learn" she exclaimed. "Why,
there has never been any one to teach
me. I have never had lesson In my
life. | just listened to the music and
watched the people. and then l saw
that II was quite easy. Oh. how
love It.
what a pity can't have you to my
supper party tonight!" Gerald sighed.
She leaned toward him. She was
still little out of breath Her cheeks
were pink, her eyes aglow.
"Mayn't come, please, Geraldf" she
begged. II should be go happy"
Gerald looked doubtful.
There would be the devil to pay

And. besides, 1t really isn't the place
for YOU"
What do you mean?" she persisted.

wardly. 'The girls aren't all of them
just what they should be-"
MYRTLE laughed again.
But what does that matterY she
protested. They will not hurt me or

Gerald shook his head.

she inquired.
"Can l have the clothes for the eve

PROFESSOR DOES
PRACTICE WORK
Professor Barger Spends Sum-
mer In Sociological Work.
Has Charge of Work

The time-worn adage practice
what you preach was obeyed in a
literal fashion the past summer by
Professor J. Wheeler Barger, instruc-
tor in English and. coach of debate
and oratory, in the lecturing and writ
ing that supplemented his duties as
director of a sociological survey group
in the middle western states.
Professor Barger was employed by
the National Institute Of Social and
Religious Research, which, in coOpera-
ton with the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, the Department
of Commerce, and the Federal Blu
reau of Education, has been making
careful studies OF the economic, social,
educational and religious life Of typ
zeal American communities. The
studies made by the group of minis
tiers, satisticians, and sOciOlOgists that
worked under the dictatorship Of Pro
! fessor Barger covered a large mum

braska, Iowa, and the DakOtas-
Gave Talks
To Communities
Besides acting as Director Of the
group of sociological workers, Pro
lessor Barger delivered lectures a.
community meetings, and wrote in
expOsitory form the information and
statistics secured in the various coTH-
munity urveys. These reports viii
appear next summer in a book n
titled Typical American COmmnni-
ties"
This marks the completion of Pro-
fessor Barger's third summer of q
Geological work in the Middle West
! During the summer of 1921 he was
employed by the Collegiate Industrial
Survey Group, making studies of m
dustrial and sociological conditions IN
Colorado, and during the following
summer he acted as lecturer for \
community publication and service
agency.
When it comes to making breaks,
we hand it to the FRESHMAN who walked
up to Hamilton Hall and asked if that
was the engineering building. Eut
then others have been known to make
breaks that were as bad. One fellow
at the basketball tournament this
spring wanted t. know if that same
building was the gymnasium. Not
e~yactly in the sense he meant.
