but at the same time, he is Il
public servant. He manages insti-
tuition to earn dividents for its
stockholders, but it has now come
to be regarded as his duty TO
give some sound advice and per-
form many services which result
in no direct addition to his earn
ings account. He accepts the de-
posits of the parents for the ac-
count of the baby when it is born.
He keeps the funds and invests
them as the child grows. He adj
vises the young man when in leav-
ing school, he enters business. His
counsel is given with financial as
sistance as the business develops.
When his client retires from its
management he acts as trustee in
handling his investments and final

Except for the fact that he was
brother Of his brother and Gov
ernor of Nebraska, he was until

We Are Judged BY Our
Mistakes

The weatherman is right 66
times out Of every 100 in his
predictions about weather and
temperature. This is claimed by
James II. Scar, who has had
charge of Ne,s York City's
weather bureau for Is years.
His claim is based on forecasts
in his territory.
It's probable that the same
fgu1es hold true for the coun-
try at large. striking an average,
Uncle Sam, in fact, does not
appoint a student forecaster to a
job rs official fnfecaster until he
demonstrates that he can score
IS out of 100 accurately in his
predictions.
All this doesn't line up with
the popular notion that the
weatherman is usually wrong.
You often hear a person say Il
see rain is predicted. suppose
that means it'll be bright and
fair. "
The weatherman's supposed
inaccuracy is one of the original
jokes-and unfairly so.
Why has he gotten a false
reputation? That's easy.
Like all the rest of us. he's
judged by his mistakes rather
than by his good work. People
notice that he misses an average
of IL out of 100. That makes
them forget the 66-out-of- 100
in the matter of accuracy.
Take star juggler in vaude-
vile. One blunder gets by.
Two plumbers start a laugh.
Three blunders counterfeit his
entire 20 minutes of accurate
performance. He's judged by
his mistakes, rather than by his
accomplishments.

A breath of SANDER can blast

One inaccuracy counteracts

Yes. we're all judged by our
mistakes rather than by our ac-
complishments. The man with
wisdom enough to overlook the
occasional error is rare. The
human brain inclines to de-
struction rather than to construc-
ton, primarily.
If we would get the most out
of life. look for the good in 9th

More Brain and Less
Drawn

Many thoughtful educators
are discussing seriously the pre-
dominance of athletics in our
colleges; they are asking if
there's too much thought being
given to Drawn, at the ex-
pense of BRAIN.
Consider this case-an ex-
ceptional one we grant-but it
Is case in point:
Some 1900 graduating stu
dents, in caps and gowns and
with joyous faces, marched be-
fore their president the other
day to receive their diplomas at
the University Of Minnesota.
j. Ward Ruckman was not
among them. He stood on the
sidelines and sadly watched the
significant procession on its
course to its big goal. And yet
he had been one of the star stu
dents of the university.
In his first year, Ruckman en-
gagged in extra-curricular work,
kept ahead of his studies and
edited the college papers, In his
junior year. he was president of
his class and he accumulated
scholastic honors in, every subject
he selected.
In his senior year he was made
a member of Phi Beta Kappa,
the honorary scholastic society,
and was scheduled to receive his
degree with high honor.
In his four years as a sue
cessful student he played tennis,
hiked and INDUCED in a dozen
other sports of the college. Last
summer he padded a canoe from
Minneapolis to St. Louis, landed
a job on a river boat as a labor
er, and worked his way to New
Orleans and back to Minneapolis.
Physically and mentally he
showed himself to be of the right
stuff and real credit to the
educational institution he attend
ed.
What was the matter with
Ruckman? Why was he de-
MED his graduation papers and
honors2 This and nothing
more: He had failed to take
the freshman course in the col
lege gymnasium
Higher education is a queer
thing in these DAYS, as Ruckman
has discovered to his sorrow. Ii
isn't so much a matter Of brains
as it is of brawn-not so much
a matter of brow as it is of BIZ
cops. A people are taxed to
support a college that lives by
that rig.d and insane rule.
Impress on the young people
entering college that they are
there to prepare themselves for
that battle that's in front. Social
and physical honors should be
a part of their ambitions. but
these should be incidental.
Cleaning certain necessary
knowledge is necessary, but that
too is incidental.
The real task before them is
to learn to think-THlNK
