The regular dance for la"'t week was not held on oeeOunt of th'e Phi :>~Jta party given Saturd'i;y. Miss Alma Arbuckle, chairman of ~he

social committee, said that no definite plans for tJhe social hour of this week have yet been made, but it is probable that a dance of some kind will be given.

During the past month it nas been rather difficult to determine jo..st when the next recreation hour would be given bacause there h_av~ been sev­eral oiher events scheduled, thus ma­king it impossible to have both, ana as a result the social hour has been 1

omitted.

WHAT JOB GIVES MOST HAPPINESS?

Often ha\•e we beard it said that once a person gets into the profession of teaching there are ten ehances to one that he will remain there. Many teach their in­itial year beeause of financial difficulty, merely mak­ing that a stepping-stone toward the attainment of an educa.tion for some other vocation.

Once one tries the venture , however disinterested be may be in his work at first, t here seems to be a cer­tain lu re in trying. The truth of this is borne out by an experin1ent made at Teachers College, Columbia Univers1ty, to determine the interest of various people in their jobs. It is significant that the older school tea­chers rated highest. Other vocations showed no defin­ite relation between time spent and enthusiasm gained, but teachen of sixteen years' experience bad 92 per cent of complete satisfaction in t heir jobs.

1\here perhaps are many causes for this, but among t.hem would be one that applies especially to teach­ing: School teaching is perhaps far ther removed from automa.t..ism than almost any other vocation. I t is an experimeM.a1 field, a realm of advancement in meth­ods and ever-developing principles.

A grave defect of automatic machinery is that its operators and caretakers too easily achieve.pedection. Week after week they can work ~ithout error, without a change of method or anything to provide unusual interest. They have no ideal toward which to strive because t hey attain it every day. But t eachers deal each day with 8uid problems and unforeseeable behav­ior. New si tuations that in .t urn call forth new meth­ods of treatment are always presenting themselves t o the wide--awake teacher.

It is not strange t hen that teachers really enjoy their work when, with the joint aid of sympathy and exper­~~, they become proficient in their elusive art and tid themselves approaching nearer to their goal of per­feet.ioD, eveD thouah they lmow they will never quite H&ah it. It il the lure of the Holy Grail, the unattsin· able and 7et the a rdently longed and sought f or, tbat makea Ufe endurable and qu ite often pleasant.

FOR INTERNATIONAL UNDERSTANDING

This rMotter of world mindedne!! seems to be get ting a real hold upon the intellect of the American people. A few days ago a speaker before the World Unity Conference ift Baltimore suggested that a new coune i n world mindedness be introduced int o the curricula of high JC:hools.

In many ways doubtle.ss this would be an excellent departure, a valu•ble innovation. But, like many ex­cellent thnip, it. is exceedingly diftk ult of achievement. The teaching of international mindedneu should, in t he ftrst place, M a large and vital part of aU educa· tion, especia11y history. A history course that does not broaden minds to see the interrelstion and int erdepen~ denee of nations is practically valueless.

The .great difficulty, then, in finding some definite way of e.xpreuing this plan would be to provide an adequate S)"'Stem of teaching it to student!. As a mat­ter of fact, few have decided what world mindedness b.. Some ha\·e punued it all their lives only to find that othelr fe.Uows d piaed them a.s v.'indy radieals. Otben have sought it long and ardently but at last become cliac.ouraged and have fa1len back upon national preju­dlcn from sheer weariness. M.a.ny men ha\•e worked to­•ard it and atrualed for it with all their powen, yet t.he s,ec:ret has duded them. None of the.se has reached the hichest point of culture becau.se one of the prer e­quisite. and dis.tincuiahiq qualities of true culture is Uae pMH-aion of ••a t-olerant attitude toward the opin­lom and e..u the pnjudices of others."

A Cleveland school some time ago decided t o sepaT­ate its puplls, putting the boys and gi~ls in differ ent sections. For a time t here were no visible results ; bu t tne~· soon began to be apparent, and now, teachers do not know what to do.

I visited those estates several years ago and was told at the time I was t he first foreigner to be admitted t o the ancient Conf ucian palace. Quite possibly, however , this statement is not true. The Chinese discovered long ago that t he queer Amer icans like nothing better than to get to places ahead of !heir countrymen, and so these excel1 ent hosts say what t hey t hink thei r visitor s would want to hear .

Kept by themselves, the boys soon grew to be very aggressive, and in a short ttme they had developed un­controllable rowdy tendencies, quarreling and fighti ng among themsel"es upon the slightest provocat ion w-hen­ever an uninterrupted opportunity offered. Kept apar t from t he boys, the girls got much rougher, so much so tt.at they struck each other with rulers or other haq.dy objects and talked back to their teachers.

In spite of all these things, however, each group mJde far better mar ks in studies than formerly. What are the teachers to do under such circumstances?

In the first place, they must recognize t he fact t hat even in child ren t he pr esence of t he opposite sex r e­fines. Each wan ts to appear well in the sight of t he other . The same principle extends ~ven t o those of college age, though there it apparently affects men more than women. Co-education of children is desira­ble, then, from t his point of view.

But what a bout the grades? Evidently in each oth­er's presence there is a certain amount of timidi ty'; atherwise t he desir e to appear well would prompt mor e stud)J t han when they are separate. A sensible appeal to the pride of a youngst er in his work ought t o cor­rect this timidity somewhat, a lthough some might nev­Er get over it . But if the appeal is not a sensible one, it makes a boor and bully of the ordinary or at least t he more ambitious pupiL

The regulating effect of the presence of boys and girls together seems more important than mere marks in studies, f or education to an aggressive, bullying youth means only an increase in his resoprces to "get away with" his mean·ness. The sensible thing to do, then, would be to reunite the two group and after · wards study etrective means of getting them to master their timidity.

WHAT OTHERS SAY

THE HOUSEKEEPER

From the Baltimore Evening Sun. Pity the poor housekeeper. She. tries so hard to

please everybody. 11 she gjves them fish, they say " 'What , fish again?" If she has liver, little Johnny will not touch it; if she has pork, it gives the childrep. in­digestion . If she serve! beef and lamb, father objects t o the bills. 11 she provides chicken, they eat i~ at a sit ting. I! she sticks to what all af t hem ean eat, they complain of lack of variety.

It she has dinner in the middle of ihe day, father does not get enough at night. If she has dinner at night, the children must have a substantial meal in the middle of t he day . If she has pastry1 for dessert, the children can not ea t it; while father t urns up his nose at bread pudding and stewed frui t. If she tries a milk dessert the milk supply is sure to run short. If she has cold bread, the family t ires of it; if she has hot bread, the pound of butter will not last t he week.

If she se rves mashed potatoes or rice , there is sure to be a shortage of gravy; if she serves fried potat oes, the supply never equals the demand. If she bas spinach they complain tba.t it is gritty; if she ha.s carrots, t hey say they a re bitter ; if she bas beets, they say t hey taste earthy, and if she has parsnips, t hey complain that t here is no taste at aU.

The dispatch adds that t he seven­ty-sevent h lineal .descendant of the p.hilosopher is up in ar:ns at ~he prospect and has sent a v:gorous pr otest to the Nationalist Govern­ment . T his I am much inclined to doubt. If the seventy-se.vent h desce n.­da nt is doing any protesting, it is pro­bably against having to eat the Chi­nese equivalent of spins.ch and being curtai led in the free use of fir e­cracker s.

After having an;anged an appDint ­ment with t he ConfiUcian Duke I set out over Shan tung in a c~rt which had no spr ings and which was drawn by a supposed horse t hat looked much more like an eohippus. During the long and jolting ride I t ried to think of questions deep enough t o ask the august descendant 'of a ven­erable age.

After a wearying journey over the dun-colored Shantung plains I came t o the ancient city of Confucius and was formally introduced to the ob­ject of my interview. I did not, how­ever, ask him any questions. The Confucian Duke tnnned out to be two years old.

Still, despite the fact that my queries boiled .themselves down to a few chucks under the ducal chin, the journey was not without ita compen­sations. I saw the great Confucian temple with its dragon-embellished marble columns, the Apricot Altar where the sage did his teaching, and the almost equally beautiful temple to Confucius' s wife, which stood di­rectly behind his own.

This la.st feature surprised me very much, as Orientals are not like­ly to give much credit to the 1ittle woman. Conf•ucius himself said: "Ol all people, women and ser vants are the most difficult to manage. If you are familiar with them they come forward, and if you keep a distance they become discontented."

If philosophers are as haid to iive with as is ordinarily supposed, Mme. Confucius more t han earned her marble columns. She and Xantippe probably have an interesting time comparing notes while their hus­bands discuss philosophy in the realm of t he Milky Way. . .

If she has tea, father will not drink it; if she has coffee, be complains that it is nothing like as good as what he gets down town. U she 1puts less than a table­spoonful of coffee t.o t he cup, f a ther says it tastes like dishwater; if she puts more, the coffee is too strong and makes her eyelids jump. If she puts too much pep­per in the food, it gives the children t he hiccoucha; if ~he puts too little, fathn complains of the ~euoniac. When she provides a light meal, the family ia nre to be hungry and when .he provides ._ heavy meal, the family is sure to have no appetite worth •pealdnc of .

Pity the poor housekeeper. She triea 10 hard to pleue.. And ill the rare c.ases when abe does there il nothing Je.!t over and 1be must think up aomethiDC' new for next day's lunea

We are not trying to insinuate that Shumie is the whole Glenville team, not by a jugful. There are four other gentlemen on the fl oor , and each one plays his part and pbys it well. I t is just an unusually good college team,. in my opinion t he best in the state,. collegiate or otherwise.

By the rules of the ,came they should have been unbeaten for the season. You can just mark that Con~ cord defeat off. It was a esse of the old home guard r eferee, a disease that is practically e"'-tinct up in this end of tlhe state. Glenville beat Coa· cord 84-49 at Glenville and could have done it at Concord if CbarHe McMillan had been the referee, as Coach Nate Rohrbough was promisee! before he took his team down there.. A gentleman by the ' name of Ferp• son was substituted.

Having previously visited '-------=====------' some of the greater places of inter­est in the North, Mr. and Mrs. Post decided upon a five.weeks visit and exploration through the South and SouthWest, returning through the central states to Glenville for their summer vacation. They left here last August 12 and in two hours were in Clarksburg. From that point they made a complete set of plans f or the remainder of their trip so that no time would be lost. After a night in Cincinnati , they went by train to St. Louis and from bhis big farm town now a center of rail~oads and meat· packing plants, they set out to cross the arid lands to the Pacific.
