“Spring Has Came”
ESTERDAY the “ground hog” saw his shadow. It may be
that there will be a late spring, but thoughts are already
upon the return of the sun, superstition to the contrary. There
is a scent in the wind redolent of new birds’ nests and new
brooms. And, along with the rest of the straw, will come the
hats.
New nests—new brooms—new hats—all suggest spring
housecleaning. Housecleaning suggests, in its turn, certain un
pleasant things, like heating rugs, and cleaning windows.
Spring will be spring! And housecleaning follows in its
wake. Certain persons are likewise taking their old thoughts
out, brushing the cobwebs off them, and giving them a good
airing on a windy line. (Pun not intended.) Not a bad idea.
Certain of the old furniture of the brain may need re-furnishing.
Certain of it may have to be relegated to the attis. And, badly
as we hate to part with old relics, some of it should—ah, perish
the thought !—be chopped up for kindling wood.
Dust has a way of settling. One may trample on a perfectly
good idea for so long that its colors somehoAV fade into a neu
tral gray. A good beating, may be recommend? There’s noth
ing like showing it up for what it is. And one really shouldn’t
do all the housecleaning by oneself. That is losing half the fun.
Prairie housewives in northwestern Nebraska help each
other with spring housecleaning just as they do when they feed
threshers at harvest time. Students, too, have a way of form
ing groups to do mental housecleaning. It adds a certain zest.
It is perhaps one of the best functions of the group, this mental
communications, this intellectual partnership.
There are, however, two advantages over spring houseclean
ing in the mental variety. One is, that by assisting each other
in the latter we may add what we choose to our own mental
furniture. The other is, that, “groundhog or no groundhog,”
we can do the cleaning up. We do not have to wait for spring.

PERSONAL FINANCE AT
ANTIOCH
Unless one sees his resources and
plans his life as a whole and relates
his expenditures to his needs in an
orderly manner, he will fall far
short of getting what his money
might buy.
Budgeting is not just a handy
economic expedient; it is one of the
first principles of orderly and ef- j
feetive living. For that reason, a
course in “Pergonal Finance” is re-j
^julr**-’ 'of every Antioch student. ]
JWjth an elementary treatment of,
banking and commercial methods
such as the average citizen needs,
the principles and practice of bud
geting are treated, with the stu
dents’ personal accounts as work
ing examples.
Kaeh freshman is asked to make
a budget of his or her estimated
resources and expenditures for the
year; and after conference with the
accounting department, to adopt a
budget in accordance with his or
her individual resources and needs.
Each five weeks thereafter the
freshman student goes over his ex
pense account and budget with the
teacher. Training in handling one’s
economic resources is required as a
universal and necessary element of
education.—Antioch Notes.
TOBACCO VERSUS HOT AIR
The result of a series of tests to
determine the influence of tobacco
smoking on mental and motor effi
ciency, which were carried out by
Professor Hull of the Psychology
Department of the University of
Wisconsin, lias just been published.
Nineteen young men were used,
of whom nine were smokers and the
rest non-smokers. All but two were
pipe smokers. They were blind
folded and each of them smoked
for a specific time each day for
18 consecutive days in a small
room. Half the time they were
given pipes filled with tobacco,'
and the other half they smoked (
pure hot air created by an electric ,
wire in the bowl.
Only one of the nineteen subjects
detected the difference between the
hot air pipe and the tobacco.
“One youth was always sure that
he was smoking from the combina
tion of a sharp, stinging sensation
and a ticklish sensation. He could
always feel the smoke in his mouth.
There was never nnv time, even for
a single puff, when he doubted that
he was smoking. It would not be
possible for anyone to persuade him
that he was not smoking any of the
time.”
The subjects were tested for
pulse, adding, memory span, steadi
ness, reading reaction time, memor
izing, and tapping. The heart action
increased, and much of the increase
was still present an hour and forty
minutes after smoking. Along with
this came n trembling of the hand.
The two most significant tests,
from an intellectual standpoint,
were complex mental addition and

UNDERGRADUATE
SOPHISTICATION
In answer to the question, “What
does the average Harvard Under
graduate read?” Mr. MacIntyre, of
the Community Book Shop in Cam
bridge, first enumerates the “Cross
Word Puzzle Book,” then various
outlines of history, science, and
literature, plays of various sorts,
etc. “There is a very great interest
these days in the works of the
sophisticates, Mencken, Nathan, Van
Vechten, Machen, Dreiser, and
others.” The Harvard Alumni Bul
letin continues, editorially: “These
are the writers to whom his cus
tomers turn .most quickly in the ex
pression of their natural preferences.
When indeed have not the ‘modern
sophisticates’ been the favorites of
youth? A century ago it was
through the disillusioned Byron that
the young found the most congenial
utterance of their own feelings of
revolt. In the eighties of the last
century it was with Omar Khay
yam that youth was ready to smash
the ‘sorry scheme of things entire.’
A decade or two later Stevenson
and Kipling, birds of quite another
[feather, embodied a more vigorous
spirit, which Conrad has kept alive.
The forces of discouragement have
never held the stage undisputed, and
the Kipling period—roughly identi
cal with the Roosevelt period—was
one in which hard hitting for gen
eral righteousness was wholesomely
in evidence ....
“Youth, in the very nature of
things, is bound to respond to the
most characteristic expressions of
the spirit of its time. But youth
grows up, and times change. The
.young men who fed themselves on
Byron and Omar suffered no per
manent injuries. They were alive
al the age when it best fitted them
to bo so. And the fact that the
young men of the present moment
are also alive, with an intellectual

TEXAN STUDENTS ENJOY
TRAFFIC LIGHT SYSTEM
University of Texas.—Students
at the University of Texas are en
joying the new traffic light sys
tem. They line up in a row and
wait until the red light appears,
and then drive gleefully across the
street until stopped by the police
response to the characteristic writ
ing of their time—whether all their
elders like it or not—is a fact of
promise. When they read nothing
else, when the college fails to pro
vide them with the standards of
measurement which are found in
some familiarity with the enduring
things in literature, it will be time
to take alarm.”
We are a man of principle. When
coffee jumps to ten cents, and we
can get coffee elsewhere for five
cents, our principles direct us else
where for our coffee. But we have
another principle, an aesthetic one,
I that man should neglect no oppor
tunity for the contemplation of
beauty. So, though coffee be ten
cents in one place and five cents in
another, and if more pretty girls
(inhabit the ten-cent salon than the
five-cent salon, our aesthetic—or is
it erotic—principle urges us to the
former. But' we still pay the dime
under protest.—Ohio State Lantern.

Don’t Judge From
Appearances!
THE earth LOOKS flat enough! That’s why so many
thousand years came and went before our ancestors
even suspected the terrestial globe of being round. Their
eyes deceived them!
Don’t depend upon appearances to guide you right.
Don’t buy goods on the strength of looks alone. Mer
chandise with a well-known name has the call. Only the
maker of a good product can afford to advertise his name.
Attempts to popularize unworthy goods can not succeed.
Wise merchants and manufacturers seek the good
papers to tell the stories, of their wares. The publishers
seek the reputable advertising for their readers’^guidance.
Well-informed buyers seek news of good merchandise
through the columns of the best papers.
This proves the value of advertising. Neither adver
tiser nor publisher can prosper without your patronage.
Therefore, it is to their advantage to cater to you. They
do it, too.
• It is distinctly to your advantage to be guided by the
messages they lay before you—the advertisements.
READ THEM REGULARLY!
