FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 1921 Might Editor-T .W. SARGENT, JR. KNOW YOUR UNIVERSITY Ferry field, a tract of thirty-five acres containing 1b-house, stadiut gridiron, baseball diamond, mis courts and running tracks is the official ath- ic field of the University, and the Athletic asso-j .tion has procured thirty-five and seven-tenths es directly adjoining for futue use. THE OBSTACLE OF "THE ROPES" Ignorance of the daily routine in his chosen pro- sion or business nearly always puts the college .n just starting out in-the world at a disadvan e. He usually finds that before being even rly well prepared for his life work he must take e more course of.study - a course dealing with #gs so simple that they are n.ot worth teaching college, but so .important they are essential to :cess.- He must "learn the ropes" in whatever e of activity he has chosen. No text is used in s course but actual experience, and credits are t the keys-to advancement.- 1,1s is, of course, less true in the case of the die, for instance, than the lit; but it applies in ne measure to men entering almost every occu- ion. A certain amount of so-called practical >erience is necessary before the fundamental and al things learned in college can be made use of. e business world demands performance and cares Le for theory for its own sake. I jowever it is not decreed that the college man st be handicapped by a lack of knowledge of rmonpace routine. Before graduation, either -ing vaca ion or outside oT class, he may, if he es to, get the practical experience that will cut a minimum his apprenticeship after graduation. the man 'who makes a first-hand acquaintance h the occupation he has chosen by consistently rking at it during his spare time or vacation will I that he has supplemented his college education -he best possible way. LONGER COURSES knother impetus to the movement to lengthen hly specialized courses such as engineering ands hitecture so as to include more cultural electives been given by the American Institute of Arch- ture's endorsement of the five year plan of ly. This additional support of a schedule which for some-time been advocated by advanced stu- ts of education is of special significance as it ies from men with a primarily practical view- nt. ;mphasizing thorough vocational training, the sent system in the professional schools which uire only four yearsscf study has-the advantage giving a good technical education in the mini- in time and with the least expense. But because professional training itself requires so much the time-allotted little opportunity is left for eral studies except through graduate work or he sacrifice of dropping behind classmates. As her of these aternatives is very appealing, four -s is commonly considered as constituting an :ation and the desired electives usually are out. - hrough the addition to the curriculum of longer I courses in engineering and similarly situated pro- fessional schools each entrant will have the bene- fit of an option between a course which will con- tain a liberal number of cultural subjects and one which is shorter and highly specialized. With both plans presented in more or less detail he can get an idea of the advantages of each, select the one which best suits his needs; and follow it throjigh with his class. Is-MUAML VAI Y FIAY, JANUARf ACOMLT LIEO IRE AND DESK CALENDARS' AT G. hED A'O a S Both- Ends of the Diagonal Walk CHECKING DISEASE When the authorities of the University Health service issue a warring concerning, the general health of the student body, and urge that precau- tion be used in preventing illness or checking the spread of any particular epidemic, it is the duty of all of us to take notice. The larger part of the 'tudent population during the Christmas vacation - was widely scattered throughout the United States, and during this time might easily have contracted diseases which, unless given- immediate attention, may prove serious, not to the affected alone, but also to the entire community. The physicians of the Health service are well prepared to care for as many patients as may pre- sent themselves, and any manifestations of illness should be immediately reported. The saying that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" is old, but it is always a wise one to follow. BUSINESS ETHICS Proposals for the establishment of a Business Ethics league, having as one of its objects the in- troduction of courses in business ethics into the economics curriculum offered by large universities, seem to have met with some degree of success. Sev- eral universities have already endorsed the plan. Any such proposition appears to us to be im- practicable ande to verge on the ludicrous. Doubt- less the level of business ethics in this country should be raised. Honesty is at too low an ebb, but it is not to be remedied in the scientific atmos- phere of the classroom. If a higher and more idealistic code of ethics is to rule business in the future it will be because the standard of honor among men has been elevated, and honor is not the product of lectures and text books. Every student of economics should know the objectionable practices prevalent in modern busi- ness. Instructors should and do point out these abuses and suzgest remedies for them. But a spe- cial eburse in business ethics would be looked upon by students merely as a -means of acquiring easily a few hours' credit. Right or wrong is a question that every man can settle in his own conscience. Fire in University hall would be no joke, say, at the slow exodus hours of nine or ten in the morn- ing. There's a double moral: catch the firebug, and pass the budget. From the Maj, and Are. attendance Wednesday, an obsever might assume that the three bolt rule applied at the movies.

LEsSON II The relation of childhood experiences, especially those tending to show what a precocious child you were, will be found especially effective. Thus hav- ing gained the attention of everybody remark cas- ually:. f "As a small boy I had to do all the chores about the house except bringing in the wood." If some one registers enough interest to ask-you why you didn't have to bring in the wood continue in the same conversational tone of voice: "You see is wasn't necessary. Poor Dad came home with a load every night." From this it is very easy to swing into other reminscences. Rehearse telling the following one until you make it sound almost plausible to your audience: "When I was seven eyars of age, the teacher -gave the following problem in school one day, 'If your father had nine gallons of whisky and he drank three gallons a month, how long would the whisky last him?' Unhesitatingly I answered, 'One week.' "The teacher looked me over very sternly, re- plying: 'Wrong, it would last him three months. I can see you don't know arithmetic.'" Pause a second and then ask, "And what do you think I said to her?" When those. present have exhausted -all their guesses, you say: "And I says to her, 'Well, teacher, maybe I don't konw arithmetic, but neither do you know my pa.' From thence on, if all these instructions have been carefully mastered, your reputation as a Joe Miller in cfisguise should be established.
