WESTERN COLLEGE
HAS YOUNG WOMEN
California girls start their college
education young, for a survey just
completed at the Universi ly of Cali-
fornia at Los Angeles by the dean of
women, shtows that an eveni dozen 15-
year old girls are enrolled in the uni-
versity, and they are carrying their
college courses successfully in spite
of their lack of years. However, the
girl of nineteen outnumbers all others
on the campus. '
(tnges that will not only help prof-
its, but decrease the fatigue of the
workers.
Hr experiences in one factory in
pa;±icular is a good example of thel
value of ier work. In a celluloid plant
just outside of London she began her
investigation in the buffing depart-
nent where combs and brushes were
finished. Here dust collectors were)
introduced and thte worker's stools
were placed to better advantage.
Miss Bevington says that England
and France use the celluloid collar
rather commonly, and that improve-
ments in this type of industry will
soon spread, she believes, to other
countries.
Another interesting department of
the celluloid industry is the use made
of milk. A product is made from cas-
ein which substitutes for celluloid in

Typewriting and
Student Choice Lies
Between Two Fields
"The college student must choose
between mental and physical achieve-
ment," says Dr. William Emerson in
an article printed in the April issue
of the Woman's Home .Companion.
"The man who would excell in men-
tal achievement must sacrifice his
body and the athlete cannot hope for
honors in both the physical and men-
tal fields without danger."
Dr. Emerson thinks that admission
requirements for college entrance
have tended to work in the wrong di-
rection. They keep the highly organ-
ized student at a high rate of nervous
tension without any letdown between
prep and collegg work. A student
whose efforts to meet the high acad-
emit' standards have resulted in loss
of health should be "physically recon-
ditioned" before he is allowed to en-
ter college.
Half of the men and women enter-
ing college are below weight and be-
tween twenty and thirty per . cent
show all of the -symptoms of very poor
health. Any attempt to engage in ex-
added strain which results in fatigue
and inability to concentrate.
Low standards of health and low
health intelligence show their effect
more quickly in college than anywhvlre
else because of the constant drain on
one's reserve forces.
