"That story," he said gravely but
enthusiastically, "is the best short
story that has ever been handed in
to me. In fact, it is the best that has
ever been written."
These instances are undoubtedly ex-
ceptional, it is admitted. Nevertheless
the practice of using other people's
work as a model, if not in act, is al-
together too common among students.
Like all other forms of cheating it
seldom accomplishes even the un-
worthy end it seeks and always hurts
the user. The offender is the victim-
also. The number who have been able
to pass a course they would otherwise
have flunked by copying themes is so
small as to be negligible.
In addition, many more of the of-
fenses are detected or strongly sus-
pected than most students realize. Ie
is always a delicate situation and the
camouflage is sometimes so well done
that the instructor can take no official
action. Whether his personal convic-
tion is or is not harmful to the
chances of the offending student is not
difficult to guess.
THE DRAMATIC FIELD
There is no doubt but that the num-
her of students attending campus dra-
matic presentations would be vastly,
increased if their -,alue was more gen-
erally known. Everyone enjoys the
opera when it gives its yearly produc-
tion, but there is no reason why They
should not continue to be amused by
campus talent in the weekly perform-
ances of smaller organizations.
S everalof these can already point
to past members who now,, occupy
places of real fame in the world of the
stage and it is probably safe to say
there are members in them now whoE
will do the same. Already this year

Human Sunshine finds her strength in

And the added joy that warm folks

Children only laugh the louder when

In a cozy home, why, no one thinks of

Cozy homes will make of us as much,

They're the anchors that will hold us

Onward! you can reach the charming

For your home can have a heart of
smiles, with coziness, its dress.

characterizations that would tend to
uphold this prediction. We have nev-
er attended a program given by stu-
dents but what the audience showed
by its applause that it was deriving
a great amount of amusement from
the show.
On the other hand, the societies
themselves owe a certaintduty to their
audiences. We believe that they
should at all times attempt to pick
plays which will be of interest and
which will be appreciated by at least
a large majority of the students. In
general they have realized this and
only an occasional program has been
partially spoiled by the selection of
some bit of incomprehensible "art-E
istry" for one of its numbers.
The societies that take care to pro- }
ducd uniformly amusing and well-
acted plays, the kind that have a wide
appeal and will please the whole aud-
ience, are the ones that will draw the
capacity crowds when their record
becomes known. Every freak pro-
grain, whether in the interests of ex-
periment, art, or other ideals, has in
the past and will undoubtedly con-
tinue to produce a Very harmful re-I
suit on the popularity of the group in
question.

Professor George Hempl has just
published a volume entitled, "The
Easiest German Reading for Learners
Young and Old." The purpose of the
text is to furnish the scholar with aj
German text in which he can readI
without depending too slavishly on the'
vocabulary.

E S S A Y
There is no species of manual labor
that I enjoy but of all the jobs that I
remember engaging in I can recall
none that combines so many disagree-
able features as ashing 300 feet of
ashy walk. If the condition of the
pail (it's got to be an old pail) is such
that the handle is in momentary dan-
ger of coming off unless just the cor-
rect balance is maintained the job is
particularly hazardous, but even with
a good pail it's not an inviting occupa-
tion even to persons who have more
zest for household tasks than I have.
I suppose the percentage of ashes
that one inhales is .so small that if
t wel'e expressed mathematically one
wouldbe ashamed of even mentioning
such a trifle. But even .00000000003
of four pails of fine ashes becomes of
some significance when the said insig-
nifieant fraction passes through one's
respiratory tract and lodges in the
lungs.
Sand can be substituted for ashes
with considerable advantage. You get
just as cold putting it on, you have
to fill the pail just as often (oftener,
probably), Land you're just as likely to
fall on the ice and pay with'a fracture
for the altruistic service you're rend-
ering to your neighbors. But it can't
so easily blow in your face, lodge in
your hair, and fill the cuff of your
trousers. There is no sandpit on our
premises and if there were it would
be frozen hard when needed. Ashes,
on the other hand, though they are a
loathsome product from every point of
view, are offensively plentiful in our
lower regions.
Beowuif
(The New York Times)
The courage of M. Poincare's gov-t
ernment in bringing out just before an
election a plan for a general increaseo
in taxation is beyond praise. Yet the'
vote of confidence given M. Poinca're1
in the Chamber shows that the major-
ity of French politicians are aware
of the seriousness of the financial sit-
uation, and are willing to consider
sound measures.I
This change is due in part to the
results of the occupation of the Ruhr.
That brought home to the Germans'
the consciousness of their defeat, but
has made it easier for the Frnch gov-;
ernment to "debamboozle" the people
about the promises of the spring of'
1919, that Germany would pay for
everything. Slowly it has become!1
clear that these promises were based
on hopes rather than on ascertained
economic facts.
The French people have naturally
been reluctant to believe that Germany
would not pay for the costs of the
war. For political reasons no French-
man could say that France would be
lucky to get one-tenth of the original
bill. Furthermore, no one dared point
out that the process of meeting the
expenses of reconstruction, which
Germany rightfully should have paid,
by continued borrowing simply meant
delaying the day of reckoning. So
long as payments from Germany were
forthcoming borrowingwasthegna -
tural process. But it was dangerous
inasmuch as it increased the likeli-
hood of trouble when the moment of
disillusion arrived.
The French have been courageous
In their method of meeting the crisis.
Instead of continuing the fiction that
their budget was balanced, which they
did by transferring to a special so-
called "recoverable" budget the costs
of the reconstruction work for which
Germany was to reimburse them, they!
are facing the fact that they have in
reality a deficit, and that it can ne
longer safely be met by progressive
borrowing on a large scale. The al-
ternative is to increasestaxes, though l
this method is politically - hazardous.
But the prompt response of the coun-
try shows the essential common sense
of the French people in an emerg-
ency. Incidentally, it brings out clear-
ly France's need of a permanent rep-I
arations settlement, and should put An
end to the talk of those who claim
that she seeks not reparations, but
rather the destruction of Germany.

THOSE WHO MARE THE NOISE
The headline actors have always
been written down in history and
their periods judged by them, while
the people, the steady, useful, indust-
rious,:'well-meaning people have ever
been overlooked. Mastadonic figures
are the ones that stand out and yet it
is the bees, the ants, the mice, and the
beavers that do the lasting work. Thu:
while statesmen and orators are dis-
posing of the country's destiny, "doing.
up its fate in half-pound packages,"
and generally making the noise, buy-
ing and selling, marrying and bury-
ing goes on quite the same.
AND THOSE WHO DO THE WORK
The only revolution "anywhere in
the world that amounts to a hill of
beans is taking place in this country,
now." This is the opinion of Profess-
or Carver of the Department of Eco-
nomics at Harvard University. It is a
revolution which may be defined by
saying that in the United States lab-
