that at all times she shall have desira-
ble students who will pay her a maxi-I
mum return for the rent of her rooms.
She overlooks completely the oppor-
tunities which the University has pre-
sented her, of bringing worth while
students into her home and into con-l
tact with her family. She may be ac-
commodating to her "boys" or "girls"
as she calls them, but her accommoda-a
tions are made out of a sense of ne-I
cessity, and not out of a sense of duty
or friendship. She is civil and cour-
teous to her roomers but always busi-
nesslike, and never intimate or gra-
cious.
But the more fortunate student
linds himself in the home %of
the second type of landlady. He will.
almost be inclined to rebel at the.
thought of referring to her as merely
a "landlady". She is Mrs. So-and-So
to him, a good friend, a pal,.one whoI
sympathizes with his ups and downs
and who is. on the alert to provide
him with every convenience which j
will make him at home. She knows
what town he is from, and she tries
to comfort him, should he get home-
sick. She looks at the picture of his
best girl on his dresser. She admires it
with him, and she seeks 'to console
him if he does not hear from her as
regularly as usual. She knows hisl
likes and dislikes, and she refuses'
to be simply his "landlady"-she In-
insists on being his friend. And the
student, being human and with hu-
man appreciation, values her friend-
ship. He strives to help her also, ifI
he seed a situation where he can be!
useful.
Students forget many of their col-
lege acquaintances and many of them
quickly forget their landladies, be-~
cause little pleasant memory attaches
to them. But the atudent with the
landlady who does everything in her
power to provide a second "home" for
him will stick,-his thoughts will re-
vert pleasantly back to Mrs. So-and-
So, his old pal, almost every time he
thinks of college.

He Reached the Top:
HE 'Vice-President of a great life insurance
company who began his career as an agent
has this to say to seniors whoare aboutto
graduate from college:
"If you love work and desire to pursue an honorable,U
useful and lucrative mission in life this is the business
for you to take lep. Life insurance salesmanship offers
a fine field for the energies of the splendid young men
in our colleges.
"That this is true is demonstrated by those college men
who have taken up life insurance for they have shown
that the college man is fit for this kind of a job andI
that the job also is fit for the college man.
"The work of the life insurance salesman is distinguished
by independence and opportunity for directinghisown.
l; gives allpossible opportunity for individual initiative
and a chancL. ;o make an ample income at an age when
most fellows are struggling on a wage pittance.
That is the story of one who began at the bottom and
reached the top without the help of a college educa-
tion. The advantages are with you who' graduate
from college. Before deciding your career make tin-
quiries of the "Agency Department."

FLAPPERS TS. CATEIMN
(New York Tribune)
There is even more truth th n pic-
turesqueness in the statement of one'
nt of the associate curators of the
American Museum of Natural History
that the female of the modern species
is more deadly to the animal kingdom
than was the male of the caveman
period. In the old days-that is, a
Ygood many thousands or hundreds of
thousands of years ago-skins of
a oninls were necessaries rather than
j luxuries. They often furnished the
only clothing worn whether by men
or women.
Today hunters and trappers cater
to the"craze for fur which is created
by the fancies of fashion makers.
Every flapper must have hey fur piece
to keep the sun off in summer, and so
the hunt for any animal that has hair
on its skin goes on with redoubledR
vigor. No fewer than 50,000,000 ani-
mals a year, it is estimated, lay down
s' their lives so that necks may be over-
Iheated.
No race of cavemen, even in their
lustiest days could perform such an
annual slaughter. Is it possible, as
the curator suggests, that fashion will
be responsible for the annihilation o:
most of the fur-bearing mammals on
the globe?

the late Vignaud's collection of Amer-
icana in its library, and is to reap so
many benefits from his research, it
seems fitting that Michigan should
have the credit for adding to the ex-
isting material on geographical sub-
jects by publishing these last impor-
tant volumes.
While the University herself might
not have the necessary funds available
for such a worth while endeavor, there.
may be some friend of Michigan, in-
terested in the works of Vignaud, who.
will help Michigan, help Science, and
set up a lasting tribute to Vignaud's
achievements by providing the funds
necessary to have hzi final finished
volumes published.
OUR DEAR ANN ARBOR HOMES
If anyone were to attempt an analy-
sis of the situation, he would find that
students who room in private homes
while at the University, find them-
themselves, but Greek and Latin can-
not be effectively translated any more
than other languages can.
When a student comes to the Uni-'
versity from.high school he ought to
have had the proper elementary train-
ing in classical languages and to
know whether or not he wants to,
continue. Incoming students should
be advised of the desirability of aug-
menting their knowledge of Greek and
Latin received in their preparatory
work. If the universities will demand
that the high schools fulfill their ob-
ligations in this connection as part
of the entrance requirements, our in-
stitutions of higher education may
+ FIiMING THE FAILURES
(Harvard Crimson)
Another solution has been offered the
ever-present problem of weeding out
the ineffectives in the colleges, th s
time from the University of Chicago.
Dean Robertson gives as the three
main reasons for student failures
"unintelligent reading, inadequate
preparation, and lack of purpose.
The second of these three causes of
failure is difficult to test. out accur-
ately, but under the new plan propos-
ed at Chicago it is hoped that at least
the first and the third can be detect-
ed. The method to be used calls in
the aid of the latest of the arts,-the
"movie". Studies have been made be-
fore of the "life of the clam' or the
k "insect world at work and play', why
not of students? The camera will be I

ups", "slows" and careful analysis of
