.ATlWLESS RESEARCH

The psychic researchers are hard at it again, IN
spite of the confessed failure of the ambitious effort
of the Scientific American during the last year or
two, There is breaking out of psychic comment
in the newspapers and magazines written by more or
less scientific Observers resang the situation and
looking forward to further experiments along the
tablished lines. # ~.
This reflects a sustained interest in such matters
on the part of the public.
But the elaborate experimentation seems to arrive
exactly nowhere Old students of psychology and psy
chsm complain that the scientific explorers in this
fascinating field to do more than thresh over
the old straw repeating experiments that have been
peated already many thousand times, accumuatlng
vast numbers of and millions of new "facts" to
add to the millions already existing. Every new seek
er seems disregard all the work of his predecessors
while blndly repeating their methods. So the conc!u-
sion Of the whole hubbub of inquiry is vanity and
alton of spirit. The professed scientists accomplish
nothing. The charlatans flourish and pack seance
rooms with artificial ghosts and play with the most
sacred of human hopes, asserting that tabletpplng
and gibberish come from human souls in heaven.
A studious observer of this quest suggests that
the only new contribution which to have been
made to psychic inquiry in recent is the theory OF
"ectoplasm, adopted by Conan Doyle and his school
"a theory which is at least old Paracelsus, and
appears to lead back into ancient eastern thought It
suggests the eastern belief in astral body auto
matte and unintegent, having connection with the
soul spirit The observer referred to wants to know
why the scientists don't definitely Investigate this
tral theory instead of muiing the old stuff

SMOKING COLLEGE GIRLS

Many are shocked to learn that Bryn Mawr COL
lege, in Pennsylvania, is going to provide smoking
rooms for its girl students.
Always heretofore that college has opposed the
use of tobacco Now the head of the institution says
it recognizes that change has about in the So
cial attitude toward smoking women and the college
is obliged to recognize it.
Such action is not regarded approval Of this
practice but making the best Of the situation. An
inquiry reveals the fact that than half of the girls
at Bryn Mawr smoke already. The college authorities
believe is better to have them smoking frankly and
openly than furtively in their rooms
That is probably true 1t may be true, too, that
there will be less of cigares when they not for
hidden than when they are. Men have in
trying to monopolize tobacco. The appeal may weak
when there is adventure In it. And if to-
bacco is harmful to women than to men, ply
sicans say, perhaps the will find it out for
themselves sooner later, and act accordingly

 The following statement from the 192-26 catalogue gives the general scope of the work offered:
 "The Business Administration four year course is intended primarily for those who are looking forward to a business career. Modern business has reached the stage where internal and external economics must be real ized. It has taken it's place among learned professions because it has adapted itself to the necessary pro- fessional standard and requirements College trained stenographer3 and typists, accountants, salesmen, and clerks are in great demand.
