suggestions and affords needful
criticism.
Asks pertinent rather than idle
questions; for intelligent ques-
tons are a sign of intellectually.
Receives gladly all kinds of
criticism. Does more than I've
age work. He reads more than
his textbook, and prepares an out
line that will help him in review
Keeps a notebook in which he
writes suggestions and ideas for
future work, and he keeps impor-
tant points which he desires to
remember.
He is neat at all times.
He is accurate and above all,
considers himself as a part of his
class and not only in it.
Matt Pakala of Red Lodge and
a student at Montana State col
lege was selected as this years
Rhodes Scholarship student from
this state. The Montana commit
tee comprises Chancellor M. A.
Brannon of Helena. chairman; j.
r. Thomas of Butte, Sec, Prof. H.
G.. Merriam of Missoula, Prof j.
B. Harrison of the University of
Washington and F. e. Holman of
Seattle.
Sylvester Smith was one of the
candidates. There were 80 schol-
arships available to U. S. students
and for these there were 1913 can
didates. So in order to qualify
for the 2 years at Oxford with the
$4,000 a year attached, a candidate
had to run through a big field.
Qualifications for a Rhodes
scholarship are four. First comes
literary and scholastic ability and
attainments. Next physi-
cal vigor as shown by interest in
outdoor sports The other two
qualifications have to do with
character, craftsmanship and lead
ership. Two football men: Horde
of Minnesota and Cornsweet of
Brown are among the 80 named.
We note that the U. S. Budget
contains the item for 1929-appro-
priations of $50, 495, 800 needed to
cover postal deficiency. After
looking through our mail each day,
we wonder why Uncle Sam does
MT put the clamps on much of the
worthless printing that he is
carrying at a loss. Much of this
material doesn't make good kind
ling on a cold morning.
The budget also carries these
items. Note the difference be-
tween war and education.
