Fuhner, "W11hat this country needs is better edlu ca1tedl public mern." Tlruie, he puts a w ell-rOulil education on a competitive basis, saying that it is n'cessarV for ambitious young people to have one in ordter to (oll)ete witth educated mien, but what he meant was-that in order to give the na tion the benefit. of our intelligence and to make it possible for us to fit into the country's life, we umst. prepare ourselves for the job. It is significant that lie said, not "an education," but. "a well-rounded education." To many inuls tries have been governed byl men who hadi no in tinate knowledge of facts and conditions outside the purview of their ow'n enterprises. 'Ile lbaiker's who have been "forced" into retirenient knew all about rates of exchange and conditions causing a tellporary fluctuation of values. What they did not know was the importance of the long-range at titude, the attitude that their owin"I prosperity (le 1)endied on the p)roslerity and happiness of bil lions of people with w"hom they never cane in contact. Perhaps a better way of stating it is that they lacked that unlerstandi g of the surge aini resurgelce which. originating iln obscure sour('es. determines the balance which life and in dltistry is to assuite. Such al un1(derstarling is not gleaned fromIl bal ance sheets antd stock reports. It colmes froii a lIroldl un<i(lerstatidinig of hiniianlIt nature. lulnian suf fering, the laws of physics and the laws of natlure. It is the understantling that is the conicomitant of a wrell-rounded kiiow\ledge of the arts and sciences.

Bertmann of Morrison ville, Ill., a graduate of Marquette University, never missed a class during eight years .in graded school, four years of high school and four years of his college ca reer.

Good Racket Hard times and depression aren't stopping some ambitious fel lows from sipping the nectar of high education. Even when there aren't jobs to be had, certain Co lumbia University students started businesses of their own. One chap started what you might term the human alarm system. For a small sum he will come around in the morning and get you up for break fast or in time for your first class. Another, started the somewhat less , original business of a shoe shiner. . Not content with remaining small dime eii eprenteurs, these two boys went into partnership under the following terms. Anyone who hired the waker-upper for five con consecutive mornings was entitled to a free shoe shine, and similar ly, anyone getting five shoe shines within a certain time was entitled to a free call from the human alarm.

WHAT'S WHAT IN UN By Camil 'he Teaching of Literature in the I High School. ly Reed Smith,. I Il'h. D., 1Litt., Dean of the Gradu- I ate School, University of South t Carolina. Published by The c American look Company, 1935. C This is not the first book with Dr. i eel Smith's name to it, but it is ertainly one of his best and one which % 'ill always reflect great credit to him r nid to the University of South Caro- t na, where he is Dean of the Grad- I ate School, both for its high educa- s ional "altue and for its literary in- 1 'rest and charm, not only for teachers i ut for all lovers of literature. I le says himself: "I,iterature is the I .nglish teacher's hardest problem, be- t ause the field of literature is so tre- c tenduously inclusive and varied," and I ]so, he adds, it makes therefore, "the s reatest demands upon the teacher's f ersonality." lut he is right when he t dmits that the average high school tudents are not yet matnrc enough > appreciate some of the greatest oems or even biographies or novels. ut if judginig from an outside point f view of some of the high school oeims lie iluotes, especially those writ .n by" Coluimbia lIigh School stu cuts, they do know what is good oetrv and how to write it.

Smith's own love and admira ion of great poetry has been proven his writing and teaching of it, espe ially of the liallad, but his chapter in "'The Dawn of Appreciation" is lost particularly a masterpiece of nthtusiastic appreciation of the most nagnificent lines in the world of great toetry.
