Jickling A PRACTICAL STEP After spring vacation a professor in the engineering college will conduct a course to prepare men for the officers reserve corps examinations. Such a step is of greatest value to the govern- ment, because it will help supply of- ficers for the army of 500,000. It will be of greatest value to the student because it will enable him to apply his education in such a way as to fit himself for a comm sion not the position in the ranks he would other- wise occupy. Would it not be possible for te University to establish a number of these courses for men in all schools and colleges to begin immediately aft- er the spring recess? The details of such a plan could be worked out dur- ing vacation, and announced upon the students' return. Special courses are being arranged for the medical and engineering students, but general courses are needed for other students who with but a few months of train- ing and study could qualify as reserve officers of infantry.

Still, accepting this statement complacently, we refuse to prepare ourselves to meet the issues whose settlement will be made infinitely more simple by a lit-I tle original thinking at this time. If every man in the university could make it a plan of campaign to inquire now and then into the how and where- fore of the most important matters of practical existence, the United States, if it should go to war, would go calmly because of the knowledge that every question had been sifted to thel bottom and the step was being taken advisedly and not go with an appear- ance of calm which was in reality a mask for ignorance.-Cornell Daily Sun.

Aside from the fact that the United States has not yet officially gone to war, this observation is an excellent epigram on the present situation in this country. Either the people of the United States, judging, of course, by the university community, are su- premely indifferent at this critical hour, or they will begin to stir and rub their eyes in a dazed fashion when they awake to the fact that the coun- try has acted. Assuming that the average Ameri- can of the college age is not the stoic his present indifference would indicate, it must be concluded that this calm and self-possession in the face of threatened war can be attrib- uted to a complete lack of knowledge of the present critical state of the nation. Aside from the casual in- formation gained from a glance at the most striking headlines in the daily papers many undergraduates today are almost totally ignorant of the vital issues of the day. As for having a sound opinion on the questions whose settlement can be calculated to have the most profound influence on the lives of all of us, it is the idea of many that this is the concern of others and not of the man who is seeking an education. It is not the fault of the faculty that the student has no ideas of his own on the present day vital issues. It is probably a safesassertion that many times the professor finds more of a point of contact with his class when he holds fast to the printed text than if he chooses to branch out into a discussion of the present interest. In the first case he can at least as- sume that his students have heard of the matter under discussion; in the second he must often times continual- ly sound his audience to determine the extent of their information. That this is true at such a time as this is practically indefentsible. We F or $25.oo The winning team is on its toes every inning of the game. Strong bodies and keen brains battling for an opening.
