one is interested in his college
training and tries to benefit him
SELF IN every way that when he is
finally thru, he will be refined cul-
tured. well informed on many sub
Jects, and he will be a good con-
versationalist.
Another argument used against
college education is that a person
may intend to do something for
which he does not need college
training. College training is not
necessary to work alone, but will
influence all Of ones life. One
could sit down and enjoy a good
work OF literature or good music
and art. He would be able to ap-
preciate it while person who has
not had college education or
training along intellectual things
that are worth while in our world
would only be satisfied with cheap
literature, music, and pictures low
in standard.

Should Everyone go to College?

Should Everyone go 20 OOlieSe!
This is very big question be-
cause it can be approached from
so many different angles. But the
big answer is, Yes. Perhaps every
one has heard some person say at
some time or other that the ma
jority Of boys and girls Of today
20 to college just for the fun they
can get out of it and to look for
their life's companion. If this were
true, they would get some benefit
from it, anyway, for they would
have to study part of the time.
Then, too, some people ask, why
should you need any more school
ing after you have graduated from
high school. Because altho when
you finish high school you have a
fair knowledge of English, math-
ematics, and history, it is not
enough.
When student finishes high
school he can be spoken of as be-
ing just the rough material. He
needs polishing and finishing up,
which may be obtained in college.

FEATIJRE

Some people are geniuses aren't
they? Our idea of a genius is one
who can work bookkeeping in the
commercial room while the type
writing class is in full swing. Some
of the students do work there but
we can't understand how it is done.
The typists surely can raise
chatter. We think that person
can study there about as easy as
man with insomnia can sleep
under tin roof during hail
storm.
