Schneider STUDENT MAKE'S MISTAKE B UINESS STAFF George H. Heideman William Wachs Richard LambrechtI THURSDAY, JULY 24, 1919 MAKE YOUR QUESTIONS SENSIBLE rofessors are always glad to ston at any time in their lectures or es to have a auestion asked. They are always willing to clear up any that seems cloudy in the student's mind, to explain anything that is ful and to add something that, but for the question, would not have red to them. In fact most professors welcome a query because it 9 that the student is taknig an interest in the work, and because it les perhaps another angle which may be of value to the whole class. ut there are some students who persist in asking the most foolish enseless questions, merely for the sake of asking them, and not because want an illuminating answer to a perplexing problem. If a number of ions are asked by serious and thinking students, these others will ge to ask one simply to remind the professor that they, too, are nt. The questions propounded are sometimes the most ridiculous and msical that can be imagined and are never of such depth and pro- y that they cannot be answered by .a little forethought on the part student.' peculiar psychology seems to be back of the foolish question askers. seem to think that when questions are being asked, it is a matter of nd death with them to be among the askers. They believe that the isor likes to be questioned and that he who asks the most questions is est student. So they see to it that they lose no opportunity of asking ;hing, anything, as long as they may continually remind the professor they are present. In other words, to put it in plain language, they orking for a mark, and think that by asking questions their chances 1 "A" are brightened. What these students do not understand is that their professor knows >d deal more about psychology than they do, and that the habit of g questions is not always the way to his heart. Asking serious, htful questions, will make a professor respect a student; but asking ,h, senseless ones, merely to try to gain the good will of the profes- s the surest way to get a, poor mark. luffing a professor is a mighty hard thing to do. They can see through etter than you think. If you ask questions, be sure that they are le ones. THE ARMCHAIR CRITIC he armchair controls the carping critic. he "carping critic" is he who, content'in his little sphere of self- mated research, gazing at life through near-sighted spectacles, know- thing of virile and spontaneous thought or purpose, spins his con- ations and tangling intricacies around whatsoever art has sought >duce. uscular inertia goes hand in hand with such criticism. This critic t leave his chair to look at throbbng life,-the brilliant, the real. He rorshipper of the dead; even an amateur is a worshipper of the living. 'he world needs light; needs a trained eye to see, and a firm lip to But, why, in the artistic realm, forget the old proverbial phrase of lping hand? A music master, aiding a young enthusiast in a composi- humming a part here, changing the score there, is an example of the ritic and of good criticism. nly constructive criticism is valuable. eH who deals with thin sur- with products and outcomes, knowing nothing of the inner life, the 's struggle to gain his interpretation, has achieved nothing unless a butchery. Yale man ecently wrote, "It has required the allied armies and the of 10,600,000 men to make thg opening attack of the categorical Em- f Humbug, with which the age-long reign of the critical spirit had :read the earth." He was condemning criticism of today, and tracing he result of German influence. e who ,may not agree will do well to ponder a moment, will do well isider the relation between the fairness and freshness of genius and tnker-worm of armchair criticism. GOOD FAILURES ost of us dislike the word "failure." We say that it will never be part ' life, that we intend to be successes, and that failure will never enter. ur vocabulary." %t a good failure is much to be desired. We will never appreciate Is until we have known failure. If we have never known a failure, we never known what it is to be spurred on to greater effort, we have known what it is to grit our teeth and determine to win at all costs. we have never known failure, we have not achieved real success. ig is more unfortunate than to succeed too quickly and too easily. If tecess is reached without struggle or fight, there is something lacking. ill begin to think that we are invincible, that we have .reached the a because of our overwhelming superiority. And that will be the uing of our downfall. ncoln didn't stop at his first failure-the failure to go to school. It him all the more eager to learn.

Married: The place where one can get the most lasting and cheapest Lib- erty bond is at Reno. I'm sure your husband would appreciate such a bond.-Beatrice. -Beatrice. From Abbott to Zystra There's a whole lot between the pages of a directory if you will only look for it. Just glance over all these strange ones that we have had in our midst all year. There are two Angells and only one Heller, that's one good thing, but set against that we have a Barr, a Brewer, a Brew and a Beer. Also in the food line we have Bacons, Cakes and one Chow. Along the non- prohibition line we have a de Wet. We have three Gillettes and only one Barber and three Bakers and nine Cooks. This may be a republic but there are three Kings and one Kyser in the directory. And last but not' least we heave one Nutt. There was a headline in the News the other day that ran like this, "Pet- ted by Royalty." Of course it should have been above a picture of Gaby Deslys but it was over General Persh- ing's son. Another grandson was born to Henry Ford the other day. We will give 10 to one that his name won't be Elliott G. Stevenson Ford.

That's just big city for good old fashioned boils. Of course all the girls are wearing the summer' furuncle by now.

"Fa rFrom Th e Madding Crowd-" From the American students of the University of Toulouse, France, has come the "au revoir" edition of "Qu'est-Ce Que C'est," published week- ly by the members of the U. S. forces in that institution. Combining the work of newspaper. review publication, and humor maga- zine, the paper is replete with car- tons, short stories, theatrical criti- cism, and news items. Of special note to the American reader is the editorial "To Our Friends - the French in Toulouse." "We've learned much from you,". re- marks the editorial. "And the least that we have absorbed is a slight knowledge of your language. You have taught us that there is something in life beside the eternal rush of the western world, the mighty seeking of the mighty dollar." "One thing we take back with us to America," concludes the editorial, "is the fact that you're a set of gentle- men, from the old chap who sells us our morning paper, to the professor in the study." UNIVERSITIES OF TEXAS AND MEXICO PLAN CO-OPERATION Rector of Border Country Institution Makes Arrangements, with Support of -Carrauza Marking the initial step in a more thorough understanding between the citizen of the United States and the citizen of Mexico is the plan for in- terchange of students between the University of Texas and tne National University of Mexico. Negotiations for the border country are being conducted by Dr. J. N. Macies, rector of the University of Mexico, who claims to have the sup- port of President Caranza. "The ed- ucated classes of Mexico are the friends of America," commented Dr. Macies recently in a conference held at Austin, Tex., where the project was discussed. "Teaching of English has long beer encouraged in the University of Mex- ico," he declares. The institution has been made co-educational, and nam- hers of women are taking advantage of the opportunities offered there. More than 4,00 students are enrolled in the various departments.
