CHARACTER WILL COUNT

The boys and girls who plan to go
 10 college had best sit up and take
 notice of the latest news Report comes from Washington that many of
 the colleges and universities have all
 ready--and the movement is spread ing-beg1ln to consider not only { scholarship but character in their re- { auirements for admission. In other i word. some educational institutions will not admit an applicant, no matter { how well he or she passes the scholar , ship examinations, unless the appli- cant is able to show that his or her record for habits, industry. manners and respect for the law and property
 is good.
 If this movement does spread so that all the colleges shall deem these matters worthy of consideration, no applicant will be able to obtain the higher education who is remiss in these particulars. The boy at High school, for instance, who has habitu- ally participated in cute" practical jokes which involved breaking of the law, will be quietly but formly in- formed that since he is addicted to such lawlessness he may go on being smart" if he wants to, but he is not wanted about the college campus. The young schoolgirl flapper who thinks mothers advice" is & relic of the past and not worth considering, and who tries 10 emulate the screen vamp, will be informed that she may vamp as much as she plesses, as far as the college authorities are concern cd, but she must do her Tapping in some other surroundings that the col lege to which she wishes to gain sd- mission.
 The large universities especially are having more applicants than they can handle, and there is no danger Of their going into bankruptcy because of a paucity of students. This new rule, elastic as it could be made would prove sn easy way on1imitins the number Of those admittfd. or course the colleges would not be ungentlemanly about it, hun they would be quite firm. College is not the place to have a good time" alone. There gre other things to think or, as many an "old grad" realizes now when it is too late. Many Of them wish they had appreciated their ad- vsntages the moment they entered
 And so this little bit of emphasis placed on this news is worth consider ing by boys and girls now, if they have any desire 10 enter college. College won't make a silk purse out Of a sow's ear, but 1t will improve the quality of the ear provided the ear wants 10 be improved. It is worth while. if it is made worth while. The colleges arc beginning 10 sec that more good would come from admitting only those who want to do hard work, with the proper amount Of play, than would result from letting in every applicant, no matter what the motive is for seeking
