HOSEBURU, OHEttON, 7 HUBSOAY, JANUARY 4, 1923. THE AVE HAG E STUDENT There is a certain conflict in schools and colleges between the interest of exceptionally qualified students and those of average ability. Parents of bright boys and girls complain that their children are held back by the more ordinary students. In some of the colleges there is a tendency to imitate the Enjj lish universities, in the special chances they give to the e.ct'j- tional man. Young people who have unusual gifts get impatient at what seems to them the dawdling pace of the whole class, Sometimes in the lack of sufficient occupation they get into mis chief. Many students would be glad of some system that would allow them to work independently, and make as rapid progress as their exceptional talents allow. In this democratic country, however, it is of first importance to see that the average boy and girl gets the most careful alien tion. The genuis can look out for himself. If he gets impatient with the slow pace of his fellows, he should take extra work or go in for other useful activities. Our people may have splendid and gifted leaders, but if the ordinary run of people fail to acquire higher ideals and broader intelligence, out of their school courses, they will not follow after the best leaders, but will be influenced by those of superficial in telligence and chimerical notions. The teachers who take pains to explain the lessons slowly and carefully to the duller section of their classes perform a great service. It is more pleasurable to stimulate the genuises and take satisfaction in the rapid growth of the more gifted pupils. But a chain is only as strong as its weakest links, and a country can not go ahead much faster than its less intelligent half permits. If the country's average minds can become patriotic, able to distin guish false leaders from the true, and if they can acquire habits of industry and thrift, the country w ill take care of itself. , . . o BETTER QUALITY GOODS , " Wholesale dealers in garments report that there was a better demand for good quality merchandise during the recent fall trade than formerly, and they expect the same demand for good stuff to continue through the spring run. j Manufacturers also report that customers are more critical than formerly of the quality of goods ottered, and producers are expecting that their better stuff will sell more readily from now on.' This is an encouraging sign, indicating that people have more money and are not so Closely limited in making their selec tions. , ( , . There is of course a thing as paying a high price In an extra vagant way. During the flush times of 11)20, many people would demand the very best tiling there was and pay the price, even if a considerable sum was tacked on just for extra ornament and fancy touches. But without going to the extreme, a good grade of merchandise usually pays the buyer in the long run. The trouble with low priced stulf is frequently this, that somewhere near as much labor has been used to put the thing together, and that labor cost is too great in proportion, consider ing the fact that the material is of an inferior quality. When it comes to putting high cost labor on making up a lot of material that is of second or third grade, the investment is not a wise one. It would be better to put in a little more expense, and get an article where the material is worth the cost pf the labor that it took to put it together. StiuT that gives out in a short time, or that looks so cheap and shabby that people get sick of using it at n.i early date, is not eco nomical. If a man by paying CO per cent more for a suit of clothes, has one that will wear twite as long, he has saved money by this additional expenditure. o Judge Lindscy, of Denver, says marriage is an absolute fail ure, and the judge is pretty good authority on things matrimonial. But some of us fellows who have been working in double harness for the past twenty-five or thirty years fail to agree with the dis tinguished judge. 0 in m.t ,-..r llie "huinn" during the lull in uusi- PRUNE PICKIMS BY BERT G BATES A CHAR (MBGDH IB5SKETBALL TEAM GOOD EVENING FOLKSI ri lew day ago ye ed.
