OVER-SPECIALIZATION,
Modern life is composed of so many
varied interests, so many intricate
complexities, that it is next to impos-
sible for any one man to call himself
master of them all. In order to suc-
ceed in life, he must make himself
master of one particular branch of
knowledge. Thus specialization has
come into being.
The modern man must specialize, or
his chances in life are diminished.

Our Last Winter Pome
(By Dr. Tom Tovell)
Prologue
There's ice upon the mountain,
The skies are cold and drear,
Hushed is the vernal fountain
As the coal man draweth near,
We sang about the crocus
In words of living fire,
But snow drifts now provoke us,
Yes, we are a mighty lyre.
Dirge
I, poet laureate of the second ward,
huggeth the hot water bottle and
dineth on Smith Brother's cough
drops.
Woe is me. Woe is me. The hoar frost
sitteth upon my ear and my nose
is tinged a deep cerulean hue.
The housemaid walketh the dog with
the coal stove and the landlord
feedeth his straw hat to the
horse.
Playful Pan quivereth and shivereth
like unto a cold bowl of jelly and
,courteth the janitor's daughter.
The Gods upon Mt. Amphibious quaf-
feth anti-freezing solution and the
rustic putteth mittens on the
scarecrow.
Horatius holdeth the bridge with an
icicle and yelleth loudly for fur
lined flannels and rum punch.
Ye fire department clamoreth for wool
hose.
Hail! Hail! Winter hath come again.
Even an anchovy would relinquish his
vows and cuss.
Snow use tho.
I am a spring pote.
I sat on a tack and sprung.
Saith the Raven, "Nevermore."
The first odd and even basketbal
game of the season will be played at 5
o'clock this afternoon in Barbour
gymnasium. The seniors and sopho-
mores will play the juniors and fresh-
men.
The Women's league will give a
party at 4 o'clock Friday afternoon in
Barbour gymnasium. "Neighbors," a
play to be given by Masques, will
furnish entertainment for the guests.
Social service workers are needed
at the Homoeopathic hospital. Call
Huldah Bancroft at Barbour gymnas-
ium for further information on this
subject.

most distinctly that the man who had
the nerve to get out in front of a

the man for the job. If the village
poet ran for president should he get
the job because he had the
nerve to do it? If a man who had a

for the track team, should he get a

the theatrical manager, the proprietor
of a store-all must have a complete
knowledge of their craft, else they
cannot hope to compete with those
who have. To rise to the top requires
specialization.
But there is also the danger of
over-specialization. Much of the
doctor's success depends on his 'per-
sonality. If he is too much the sci-
entist, if he knows his medicine but
does not know human nature, he has
over-stepped himself and his knowl-
edge will not be sufficient. This is
true in any business or profession.
Great stress is being laid at present
on specialization in college. The pro-
fessional and technical schools are
claiming the, superiority over the lit-
erary and cultural, basing the claim
on the need for specialization.
That this claim is not a sound one
has been brought out by the war. It
would naturally be supposed that men
trained in special lines of work w'ould
have the advantage over those having
a general cultural education. This
has been' true in a great many cases.
But it also has been true that a col-
lege man intellectually trained has
been found to learn more quickly and
easily than his technical brother.
A broad, cultural education, besides
widening the store of knowledge, also
trains the mind. With this training
as an asset, the man who possesses
it may follow almost any kind of
work, his specialization coming later.
It is evident that he will be more fitted
for his work than the man who has
specialized, but who has not the
foundation.
Specialize, but do not over-special-
ize.

Toledo forgot to bring the notes for
his lecture, but he managed to stag-
ger through it.

Mabel was at the dance. She was
radiantly happy. The subtle tint of
rice powder clung to her brow. Sud-
denly she changed color (no, this was
not premeditated) and held her sides
with both hands. Her escort thought
she was about to faint.
"Shall I get a glass of water," he
whispered in her shell-like ear.
"NO," the maiden blushedssweetly,
"a couple of safety pins, please."

All the attractive little details, which
give a suit individuality, are carefully
brought out in these newest of suits
from New York and other Eastern
fashion centers.
Every model is well tailored after
the latest mode, and fabrics are of the
finest. Exclusive styling and expert
workmanship, such as abound in this
collection, are seldom offered at such
moderate pricings.
Men's wear serge and tricotine are
the favored materials, while navy blue
leads as a color. Suits with short boxy
jackets contend with those of a more
conservatively tailored type for pop-
ularity.
But no matter what the style is, one
is almost sure to find a clever little
vestee, brightening up the front and
and adding a distinctive touch to the
toute ensemble.
