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 operation was broken up so as to alternate between standing and sit- In the Fall of 1923 IMiss Frances E.

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. 1I Lu .u 'IC, 1ursu y, ay 1lu at Barbour gymnasium, may be made within the next few days.
