What They Learn at College | Why does youth go to college? Ludwig Lewisohn, liter- fy critic and author, asks the question, then attempts }answer it with this: To the average intelligent American, education, for which he is willing to deny himself and pay taxes, means skill and information and, at most, accomplishment Skill and knowledge with which to conquer the world of iter. Our students come to the university not to find B truth but to learn to be engineers or farmers, doctors * ohn apparently laments this tendency, and the fact that college to the average American th “does not mean to him an inner change, the put- ig on of a new man, a new criterion of truth, new tastes new values.” here you have contrast between the average Amer- college and the general run of foreign higher edu- nal institutions. Abroad, the university is run to f out more cultured individuals, over here to give m “finer and more flexible tools for the economic war ir liberty,” to quote Mr. Lewisohn’ again. Which is better and more worth while, training {n cul- Pand classics, or training in the fundamentals of pro- on and service? It is a big problem, and probably hot only the main fault, but also the main virtue American colleges today, depending upon how great extreme to which educational hobbies are carried. A licious mixture of the old and the new would make a whty useful piece of educational equipment for any in- ual to have with him when he faces the battle of fs an {l-breeding to which, whatever our rank and nature, we Fe almost equally sensitive—the {ll-breeding that comes from want of Mu on of others.—Bulwer-Lytton. tripping the light fantastic toe a Boston girl really did trip and her nose. many of the trials of being a movie actor are held in court.

Brother Sharp of The Post, evi- ently, is a man who goes out and guns for trouble, for, €very community, there is an element of folks who bve a chance to “get even with” the editor, and he will, + get questions like these: ‘Q—Are you ever going to stop beating your wife? An- © yes or no. Q—Do you carry a pistol? you name ten of the biggest scoundrels in n? If so, do it. Q—Where are all the vice dens in town, and how do u know it? Q—What bootlegger sold you your last 40 drinks? Q—Hayve you taken a personal bath since January 1? | Q—Have you quit making your wife stoke the furnace 4a.m.? Answer yes or no. » Q—Did Washington wear wool socks when he crossed Delaware? Ete., etc., etc, and every question loaded with con- ly, sarcasm, nervous prostration and despair. Of , such questions have no relevancy to the object ight, but we never have seen a questionnaire that did.
