OPINION Dear Editor -:-

Pessim ism is not a pl ea ·ant thing-. nor is dcstnict ive cr iticism orrlin a ril~· des irahl e. l\ut as graduation approaches and that · lon:,t labored for d iploma becomes a r eality I cannot but believe that I ha Ye bcPn clcprind o[ SOl)lCthing in the ccim ·e of this educatio;rnl proces, .

\\" hat is educa tion fo r, or rather what ought it to be forY Ob­YiousJ ~, to p1·eparr 011 c fo r life , to improve one's chances for future hea lth and happiness. Does mY education do that ? I have learned the dat,•s of t he important battles of histo ry, the solution the theo-1·cms and eq uations. the pres idents of t he United States and many other thi11 :,rs. And I ca n use th em, oh, t here is no question about that. Wh~·. l ,·an µ-o out and teach them to others so that they can teach them to othe 1·s who will teach them to sti ll othe~antl so on inde­f initely. Hut where will that h1·inµ- us? Knowinµ- ,·cry definitely the dif_fp1·e nc,· lwtwecn the gerun d and I he :,ternnd iYc will do what to ma ke• nw happy or lwalthy ?

\\"hat (•Y idenc,· of th e i1 competerwe of eclu ·ation could be more d(•mons \1·ati ,·e than , Ir . . \l otts exampl e of th e. criminal ·harnctcr of some or his hiµ-h schoo l gi·adu11t,'s. ) lany of t he most Yitai fact· o[ life arc r,•st ri ttctl by th , most st ringent taboos fro m om· education. \\ l' ar·c stuff,•d with de11 d fads until we have a. hea tlache and then tl11·o wn 0111 into n wor ld o[ li rn is:ues about which we were allo"·ctl to lea rn nothinl,!.

t'ould anyo11l' J'in<l a more monstrous travesty upon human in­_tc•lligell(·e than to train one fo r li re by carefu lly conccalin" Yiial tniths '1 If one rcqui r·es fu rth er proof merely bear in mind that in \\Ti ting this fo r a sc hool paper I dare no't ca ll a spatle a pa le, for if l "·crc to express in plai n English sor1c of the things I r efer to, the ed itor wou ld undoubted!~· be (·onstraincd from printing it.

When ,hrn c 9 fina ll y comes, and we walk across th e plat[orm to rceei,·e our tl iplomas heautirull~· dccornted with colored ribbon , there will come o,·cr me an ineffable feeli ng of saclnes: at t he thou 00ht that we a1·e a"tors in one of the most tragic fa rces of the present age.

-The Philosopher.

THE COLLEGE CRAZE 'l'h at ".,·ounµ- people haYc 110 r ight to ha ve a good time" because

"they ha ,·c not ea rned it " is t lie kind of :tag"er·inn- truth that on ly i:ret: itself sa id in speeches like the one )fr. Sp indl er g,n-c before the Ma r·gar·ct .\ shmuu Club a fe w nig-hts ago. lt is the kind of truth that should be shouted fl'O m the house- tops. Yet it is the d isagreeable ldncl aga inst 11"11ich all t hose affected rebel.

The ,·c r·y fact that there ar·e hundrnds of thousands of young men aml women smitten by the '" coll eg-e craze" - a large percentage of wh om arc incapable: - indica tes that young peopl e, of a ll social stra­ta, arc, bein g- increasing ly pampered. To fu lfill .their des ires to be "collegiate" young- peopl e a ,·e sent away for four ~·ea rs, the d ire discomfort of th e expense de,·olving- upon th e parents. P erhaps the g reat(•st ev il is ·the unappreciati\·e attitude which the willy-nilly eoll c:,tc g,·aduate deve lopes toward the world . ·

Colleµ-c. indeed, is the place to go to get tho ·e things which should .fit. the ambitious indiYidual for li [e, but that t raininoo cannot fit the individual for life i[ it is made so easy for him that he h~s li ttle t.o do but concern himse lf with " co ll egiate" act iYi t ies.

·work alone gives va lue of appreciation to the worker. H e cannot learn to know the Yaluc of a thing if he has never been constrained to create himself. College students, all of them, should be rigidly held to some program of industry. th e wa ges of which wi ll be his privilege of attending college. H the averao-c High School student were re­quir ed to wor k a yea r· or two upon graduating from High School he would enter· t he higher institutions of learning with a profound r espec t ·for the myriads of. things there a re there fo r him . Then be would know the va lue of a college educat ion. And then having workeU, he would know what awaited him when he stepped out of this Alma Mater with his sheepsk in. If philanthropic and beamina parents wished to help their sons and daughters they should only b~ allowed to help them in a limited way. 'fo get the most and best out of a college education it is imperative that the student work his way through. ·
