Stay with School
“I got my education in the school of experience and it set me
back at least ten years,” said Fred L. Boalt, colorful editor
of a Portland newspaper, who in a signed story in yesterday’s
Emerald urged delegates at the high school convention to con
tinue their education.
Here is a statement from a man who has made a success in
his line of work but not so big a success, he thinks, as he might
have made had he enjoyed the advantages of an education.
The alluring stories of “self-made men” have caused many
a misled youth to stray from the paths of education and in a
majority of eases the unfortunate one has only regrets over
lost opportunities.
History gives us a great many shining examples of self-made
men, but it never mentions the thousands who have failed be
cause of the lack of education. There are of course “educated
failures,” but statistics prove that one’s chances of success are
heightened immensely by the earning of a degree.
The advice to “stay with school” is especially appropriate
at this time when hundreds of high school people are here to
listen and to learn. University students should heed the words
of the man who has “been through the mill,” and when the
world offers what seems to be a golden opportunity, before the
proper time, the one who is tempted by that offer should think
twice, yes, thrice, before deciding against education.
The Emerald is always glad to aid any movement which will
make the University campus more of a cultural center. Dent
Mowrey, the gifted young pianist and composer, son of one
of our “University family,” is to play at the Woman’s building
tomorrow night. The organization which is making it possible
for music lovers to enjoy this rare treat is performing a real
service to the campus, and it deserves a reward commensurate
with its splendid effort.

Another good man Oregon might
approach. Dick Hanley, Washing
ton State quarter some years hack,
ex-marine star and now coach of
the Haskell Indians, blew through
1his part of the country the other
day. Dick was a whizz ef a player
and a whizz of a coach, if the re
cord ot tin1 Indians may be con
sidered. The\ went through a heavy
season and topped it off with a
win over the Olympic club of San
Francisco.

A friendly spirit has grown up
between the two schools following
the 14 14 game at Pasadena New
Year’s day. There is also a good
chance of the two institutions meet
ing on the gridiron next year. The
Navy was deeply impressed with
the sportsmanlike ways of the west
and would like to come again.
The Washington crew will enter
the tryouts for the Olympic games
next summer. The Navy extended
the Huskies an invitation to be
guests at Annapolis when the Seattle
crew goes back east. Real sports
those Navy men and also athletes.
We begin to look forward to the
Paris Olympics, and we have a rea
son to look forward with a certain
amount of foreboding. America has
reigned supreme in the sport world
for many years. Now there is a
black cloud looming over the hori
zon of the sporting world. That
cloud is little Finland, and we have
many masons to worry about her.
V\ hat about our having a varsity
rhoss team. Tn tho oast they have1
thoir collegiate chess wizards and1
tho game seems to take heavy. We
rerall some hot tournaments down
in tiie A hut a few years ago, and
without doubt some of tho material
is stilt in sehool.
I’t’ann, eraek Cornell quarter and
AII-American selection, is eon
templuting entering West Point.
Ptann was considered one of the
foxiest field generals on the na

just as foxn in the service of I'nele
Sam.
At the games in Antwerp Am
erica won top honors, but the Finns
went home with, " America won
this time, but watch us the next
time.” Willie Hit ola and llannes
Kolehmaiuen, premier Finnish dis
tame runners of this country, in
tend to return to their native Fin
land and train for the Paris Olym
piad. Pawn Nurmi, who recently
shattered Norma Tabor’s mile re
cord, and estabished a new mark
of 4:10 - o, will wear the emblem
of Finland.
Added to these stellar perform
ers, the little nation on the Baltic
has six or seven javelin hurlers,
who flip the Grecian spear well
over the 200 foot mark, and then
they have a host of weight men
who are w izards.
Finland is coining to Paris with
the intention of carrying the honors
back home and America will have
to pick her best to keep the tropli !
ies from the Baltic shore.
Democracy Or Mobocracy?
* * * * * *
Mediocrity Ruling Tabooed
By Marion Lay
Someone has made a plea for
democracy. Since democracy must
be preacheu to us, then some among
us must have committed ir,o un
pardonable sin of being undemo
cratic. How? Someone has warned
us against snobbishness. That word
implies pretense, the assumption of
rjualii es not natvol to th: ;n
iixdivi.li al. This 's intolerable, ami
the snob is to be despised, of course.
But someone has gone' further than
this. It has been assumed that be
cause we are all young, and be
cause we are all healthy, we should
all be very congenial to one an
other. It is heresy for one to ex
ercise selection in the choice of
one’s friends, or to narrow one’s
plasurable contacts to a few peo
ple, who, absurdly enough, are in
terested in the same things as one
self. It should be remembered that
i there are thousands of unexplored
i personalities circulating unnoticed,
and because we cannot plumb the
I depths of all of these we are in
La way to miss the supreme happi
ness that could be ours.
The most flagrant violation of
real democracy is seen in the re
cent propaganda for the abandon
i ment of cars and furs for campus
! use. In this attempted supervision
! by the majority of dross and means
I of transportation, there is a hint of
other tyrannies. We can not say
we have a democratic spirit unless
the majority is willing to practice
the gentleman’s code of “Live and
let live.”
We are too tolerant, and even
submissive to mediocrity in all its
phases. We have the same dread
of people and things labeled
“superior” that we have of the
vivid skull and bones on druggists’
bottles. If someone is known to
have a family background of sev
eral illustrious generations, and
ancestors who have achieved more
than ordinary ancestors, he is er
roneously called a snob. At the
same time, the one who pronounces
this curse upon him will proudly
display to you the pedigree of his
own terrier, wondering if you fully
appreciate the importance of long
j pedigrees—in dogs. It is good
taste to show interest in the great
‘grandparents of one’s dog, but
! snobbish to appreciate the pedigree
,of an associate and contemporary.
Someone with a very high I. (,».
is at a distinct disadvantage in his
classes. He does not struggle for
I grades. He does not even struggle
for knowledge. It comes to him
with open arms. His mind is a fine,
j smooth running mechanism. It
| would be a delicious experience to
J watch it in operation, the effortless,
; refreshing tossing of ideas, so dif
I ferent from our own. But if he is
once caught in the crime of enjoy
ing independent thinking, and of
acquiring the gist of assignments
with no more effort than it cost
the professor to make them, his
lot will be a hard one. It is obvious
that to the plodders, belong the
spoils.
The art of living, in itself, should

not be cultivated, because it makes
us evaluate things in the wrong
way. For instance, it demands that
we place commercial things low in
the scale and that even athletics
be given only a middle place. The
outcome of the practice of such an
,art, one can easily see, would be
more devastating than a nation
wide pestilence.
Because of our previous concept
of democracy we must object to
those who object to boorishness and
mental frippery. We must regard
with supercilious disdain all those
who because of any distinction are
accorded prestige or prerogative.
We must hold with the hare and
run with the hounds, because this
is the quintessence of mobocracy.
We must not be conversant with all
of life's interests, because ver
satility implies diffusion of effort,
and no future financier shoull real
ly feel the music of Wordsworth or
permit himself to be disturbed by
the analyzing of Ben Hecht. Have

dle, and Rostand only a name.

Spanish Gypsy Dance created a
furore- in Paris, fed up as Paris is
with Spanish music of late years.
The Gargoyles of Notre Dame is a
fanciful piece, which Adolf Bohm,
