The Very Idea!
By 13i11 Gaines
Fraternities on the campus, it is
said have depended almost entirely on
the results of the intelligence test
given to the freshman class for deter
mining who will get a bid among the
members of this unusually erudite ?s
semblage. It is a great step forward;
or it might be a magnificent gesture
toward the clean's office. Who knows?
It is invigorating, refreshing reani
mating and what not to learn that
wealth no longer quickens a decadent
fraternity's pulse; that money is not
the most sought after quality in a
"pledge;" that a well-filled purse
would not be considered above other
merits. It is. indeed invigorating, re
freshing, reanimating and what not.
Also worth' of commendation is the
fact that brains will not supercede the
social graces, up to this time absolute
ly essential to entering the brotherly
circle. No longer will it he necessary
that a "brother" be able to balance a
teacon on one kne?. hold an unsatis
facto-v h+t of a sandwich in one hand
while fending off the vocif rations of
a percnir;7w and adipose eHlll-rlv fe
male with his other lunch hook: no
longer will it he imperative that one
of th^ fraters he able to 'xplain to the
rhne-ones inst why th:a1 vmg ladv
is zr +'ristrll" on h^r fnet -- w h1v
lrother Snookus i- sinei1:; to the
nrchcstra: no lonucr is it conpilco.-v
that a "n ledrre" he able to d;.locate
his vertebra in fourteen different knds
of wavs on the dance floor before he
ing adnitted to the full beneits of
(irotherhood.
Now that the idealistic state has
come when money is not an object of
prime importance to fraternnities and
brains are preferred to flapper-hand
lers, it is to he expected almost any
day to be able to see Negroes getting
justiee in the South and infants grow
ing beards.
No man can look masterful with a
yelling baby in his arms.
Red means danger. Red is being
worn more and more by the well
dressed woman.
The toper should never believe all
he sees,
The modern girl no longer has to
don a bathing suit to acquire sunburn.
Her street costume is quite adequate

Experiments Show New Meth
od To Be Superior To
Present Methods
It is very probable that the grade
school teacher's load will soon be ligh
tered by the use of films in teaching.
The Eastman Kodak Company, acting
with 'the National Educational Associa
tion, has just completed an experiment
that seems to demonstrate conclusively
the superiority of the new method over
the old. I,n geography a thirty-five pe'
cent gain was registered by the pupils
taught by means of films, and a fifteen
per cent ga'n in general science. Ap
proximately 5500 children weri taughi
with films and 5500 more were taught
the same material without the aid of mo
tion pictures, in public schools scattered
over twelve cities.
A 500 word report has just been coni
pleted by Dr. Ben. D. Wood of Coluni.
bia ard Dr. Frank Freeman of the Uni
versity of Chicago, directors of the ex.
periment.
"In this experiment," the report said,
"we have studied the films not as a pan
acea to be substituted for present instru
mentalities of the schools, nor as a
means to revolutior.ize the aims of edu
cation, but as an addit'on to the present
pedagogical devices of the school;
which may help in the attainment of
cerrrently accented gals." As one might

RICHLAND COUNTY LEADS
Stat.stics taken of the University stu
dent body, recently compiled at the Reg
Atrar s office show that the total number
of students registering up to the last day
of registration was 1466. When re'gis
tration closed for the first term last
year the total enrollment was 1391,or ar
increase for this year of 75. It will
very probably be much higher when the
students register for the second semes

Statistics show -that the largest num
ber of students from any one county is
495, from Richland. In the denomina
tional preference the Baptists lead with
460 members of that church, with the
Methodists coming second with 392 mem

Pipe Tobacco
Larus & Bro. Co. S Francisco, Cal.
Richmond, Va.
Gentlemen:
Since I first started to smoke, I
have always smoked cigarettes.
One day SHE said to me "Ed,
dear why don't you smoke a pipe. I
thinfk those long straight-stemmed
pipes are so manly-looking."
So, naturally, I had to buy a long
stemmed pipe and a can of well, we'll
call it "Blubs Mixture tobacco." Im
mediately with a certain feeling of
pride in my new pipe, I "lighted up",
and proceeded to have my tongue bit
ten. I tried almost every brand I had
ever heard of, but none satisfied me.
Sadly, I had to confess to HER that
as a pipe smoker I was a good die
titian.
"Did you try Edgeworth?" she
asked. "That is what dad smokes,
and he's always smoked a pipe."
So I was forced to try Edgeworth,
and all that I can say is that if every
fellow that has tried to accustom him
self to a pipe, started with Edgeworth,
there would he very few that would go
back to cigarettes.
Yours sincerely,
Ed Maher
