clude or include as many as she

ikes without making herself con-
spicuous. In a dormitory a girl
can be more or less by herself
than in any other place, depending
on her desire to broaden her ac-
quaintance. Socially a dormitory
s a very individualizing place-it
fosters individualism rather than
dscourage it.
Miss Smither, recalling her first
year here, said, "I can't forget my
freshman year in a league house.
It was as good as the average, I
think, but the room we had for
receiving guests was not at all at-
tractive, the shutters were always
lopping, the piano untuned, the
amp disconnected. There was
only one leather rocker and that
squeaked when sat upon. No one
ever played the piano except the
andlady's children on Sunday
morning. With the construction
of the new dormitory, the standard
of competition among landladies
will be raised, and only the best
eague houses on the campus will
urvive the test.
"College is a place to learn how
o select friends if one is ever go-
ng to do so," declared Miss
3mither. "By providing a girl with
uch broad possibilities for making
riendshps, and then leaving it up
o her own volition to choose, a
dormitory gives the opportunity to
bring out the best that is in her.

FRENCH STUDENTS STUDY'
HARDER THAN AMERICAN
Work is the keynote of educationj
n France, according to the Abbe
Ernest who lectured at the Uni-
versity of Illinois a short time ago.
An 11-hour study rule is main-
ained, with two hours devoted to'
ecreational sports if the students
desire.
In the University of Paris, ac-
ording to the Abbe, there is not
fraternity or sporting institution.
the students rely on the regiment
or their physical training and in-
erest is centered wholly in intel-
ectual pursuits.
Hence, he saysI that European
tudents learn a great deal more
cademically than Americans do,
ut that American students possess
nore drive and energy.
All junior women who are in-
terested in writing either music
or lyrics for the play are asked
