PROF. BOONE SPEAKS AT ARK. VAL. MANUAL ART CLUB

Prof, G N Boone. head of the industrial arts department. made an address before the Arkansas Valley Manual Arts Club on April 6 at El Dorado Prof Boone spoke on the subject “Present Day Trends in Manual Arts and Vocational Educa-tion. He showed the need for vocational and industrial education in' the present school system and the present trend of such training. He spoke also of future emphasis to be placed on vocational training, ex-plaining the five aspects of vocation-al guidance.

It is becoming apparent that in the near future college and uni-versity forensic activities will be under the direct control of the National Honorary Forensic Fraternity of Pi Kappa Delta. To be eligible to this fraternity, a student must have won honors in oratory and debate.

At the recent regional conventions of the Pi Kappa Delta told In Wichita a vote carried that only Kansas college and universities would to Invited to participate In their invitation contests. This seems justly conceivable that before long only member schools will to Invited.

It is interesting in note that In the last convention only charter members received first. second or third In all of the contest. A non-member school is at a great disadvantage whan competing with member organization.

We have become "set" in our "misled" thoughts of such honorary societies as the Pi Kappa Delta. We have failed to investigate the present renditions and situation of schools with such organizations. If the present and future forensic activities of McPherson College are to live and grow We should investigate such an advantage a national honorary society offers.

Next year the National Honorary Forensic Fraternity of the Pi Kappa Delta convention and forsake contest will be held In Wichita at the University of Wichita. Non-member schools will to prohibited froth entering any contestants. Not until the following year. 1931 will we to invited again.

If all forensics were organized under one definite organization, local, state, or national, there would be a great Incentive and a bigger and great goal to reach. More interest would be acquired and more well being would be received. We would to on a par with other colleges and universities. our forensic standard would to enhanced.

TRADITIONAL COLLEGE TYPE NOT IN THE MAJORITY

That the American college youth is not the "collegiate" with his Idiosyncrasies as portrayed today on the stage and to the comic papers is the conclusion drawn from a wide survey made by a certain college dean. According to officials of three hundred leading colleges of the United States the present day collegian is serious minded. careful about his ap-pearance, and is not the type characterized by tumble-down socks. flashy flivvers, hard drinking and bod manners

the same survey indicated that college deans and presidents are of the opinion that the presant day college student possesses higher ideals and does a higher class of scholastics work than any previous generation.

Another fact revealed by the survey was that the presence of women students on the campus was desirable and had a marked effect upon the habits at dress and the morals of the men students.

It was found that only a frivolous minority engaged in drinking, petting. and dishonesty and neglected class work. And that class rarely excels in class work or in sports.

These facts in contrast to the criticisms sometimes heard concern-ing college students are encouraging. The possible achievements of youth are greatly insured when there is a confidence and faith placed in them by the preceeding generation.

ASPIRATION OF FACULTY MEMBERS WHEN CHILDISH THOUGHTS PREVAILED

Life holds many disappointment. but it is wise that such is the case in view of the fact that the inhabit-ants of this earth are so constituted that the decisions which they make and aspirations that they have at one time, frequently are absurd and fool-ish when considered from a more-

mature standpoint-

For the purpose of testing our re-ready acquired skill at accumulat-ing data and compiling statistics and also to satisfy mild curiosity as to in what degree an individual attains that thing which he aspires as a child to to or do when grown, we hit upon the perfectly splendid Idea of securing such data from the vari-ous members of our respected fac-ulty as representative America citi-zens.

At least we thought our Idea a splendid one until we began to carry our plan into effect. Because of their elusiveness and our timidity we fail-ed to learn the childhood ambitions of a number of our overlords. but the information which we received from those we did interview is in-teresting to any the least, and being unselfish In nature we will withhold none of our newly acquired knowl-edge on the subject.

Besides being enlightening, the Information is also consoling in that the reader who at one time aspired to be the president of the United States and is Worried because at pres-ent he seems to show no indications of attaining that office will realize that he was not abnormal in his desire nor In his unsuccessful at-tempt to reach that goal.

Of those individuals Interviewed, only twenty-five percent have suc-ceeded In realizing; the dream of their early youth. Thus we conclude that the old pagan Idea that what an adult will be to determined by that which attracts him as a child is false. We allude to the old Chinese custom of placing before the Infant certain implements and considering the one to which he is attracted as symbolic of his life work (e. g. a hammer in-dicates an Innate tendency toward bring a carpenter). We might sug-gest that the twenty-five percent mentioned above consisted of women, a fact Which seems to indicate that the feminine mind to more determin-ed in attaining that for which It seeks,

That the theories of sublimation and transfer of training are true to some extent is shown by the correlation between Johnny Blair's dream of his future and what to is at present. To be a railroad engineer was a desire secondly In his mind to that of losing a trapeze performer in a circus. This latter anticipation him been realized to a certain degree inasmuch as the desire for physical agility has been transferred to agil-ity of speech the easy use of a good vocabularly. The engineering ten-

Circus life held a glamor for little Clara Colline also. Her highest am-bition as a child was to to a member of the Ringling Brothers' circus. and her Idea of bliss was the realization of the wish to ride an elephant In a parade.

To be a doctor absorbed the thoughts of young Howard Fries whose business ability has won for him the office of business manager of our alma mater.

and going into the foreign consular service which she hopes some day will be fulfilled. We are want tohope she shan't to disappointed, but prone to believe other dreams she entertains will be fulfilled sooner.

As a ten year old miss. Della Lehman did not confide in any one her ambitions to be a school teacher and a reader some day. Such an exalted position seemed unattainable to her fancy, but with womanly determin-ation both of these desires have been fulfilled.

Thoughts of what she would to or

do were of little consequence to little Edith McGaffey. but she longed to have black hair and blue eyes. She has however, we believe, overcome. her disappointment In not realzin-this dream and is happy in spite of it.

And so we see that although lif, seems hard and unjust at times, it

Is best that some of the fondest hopes of mankind are never fulfilled. Had

THE STUDENT AND CURRENT EVENTS

It ta starting that so many college students are not familiar with world and national conditions as they exist today. The situation is not so strange, at least it can to explained. The average student is so absorbed in performing the day a schedule and the things that possible extra curr-icular activities may add to his routine that he almost forgets any other place exists other than his own campus. The little information that he is able to gather from snatches at newspaper is about the limit of his knowledge of the world about him.

This does not discredit reading newspapers nor following one's daily schedule. But it is known that an understanding of, the why and wherefore of events nod movements in current history is necessary to make any effective contribution to the direction of their cources. To posses an intelligent understanding of such things it is necessary to read and study literature on economic. political and sociological subjects.

The question has come to our mind whether it is better to madly pursue the study of the principles of science the facts of history and the works of literature to the extent that we take so time to obtain a knowledge of current events. or to take a little time out to make oneself with conditions as they are in the world today. The value of the academic studies lies in the use which is made of them is living is the present Naturally, a compromising between the extreme of the two situation to the desirable but like most Utopia rarely exists

To the parson of a scientific or psychological turn of mind, our data Will seem inadequate and unscien-tifically stated, but with faith in the law of averages and in human toler-ance we hereby submit It to be taken for what It is worth.

Little George Boone dreamed of being a preacher or a doctor when a lad of tea years or thereabouts.

CHEMISTRY CLASS

VISITS HUTCHINSON

Dr. J. Willard Hershey took his chemistry class to Hutchinson Friday to visit the Salt Mine and other places or Interest. The group left McPherson in cars and arrived in Hutchinson about 8 o'clock. The first place visited was the Morion Salt Plant. Here the group saw the salt from the form In which It is mined until It is prepared for the market. Each person was given a small cube of Morton salt as a souvenir of this plant. The group visited the Lars-bee Flour Mills next. The mill and also the laboratory of this company was visited. This mill has a very large daily output of flour. The visit to the Paper and flex Factory was Instructive In showing the process In which paper In made. The work is all done by machinery. One of the most interesting places visited was the Carey Rock Salt Mine. The students went down into tho mine which is hundred forty-six feet deep. A guide look them into the rooms in the mine where the salt Is mined. Electricity Is used most extensively In this mine than In any other mine In the world. This mine has been In operation since 1923. Thu rapacity of the mine is about one thousand tons daily and If required this amount could be taken out day after day for one hundred years. There are about sixty man employed in the mine proper.

The first place to be visited In the afternoon was the Kansas state Industrial Reformatory. The officials were very kind In showing the group through the buildings and about the grounds.
