Ability to Mix Seen as Biggest Gain at College Book Learning Deprecated By Critic; Defends Campus Dancing Not book learning:, but the abil ity to "mix'’ and “make contacts” is the best thing; college students learn after their allotted time in institutions of higher education, says Douglas Bush in the August issue of the Bookman. “Everyone knows that the road to financial an social success does not lead through the college li brary,” he declares, and goes on to say: “But while a portion of the un dergraduate youth has been touch ed by the prevailing literary self consciousness, the mass of stu dents continue to pursue the nor mal curriculum of loafing and dancing which leads to the B. A. However, the present generation wears its vine leaves with ia dif ference, as a recent writer has poifated out. The diversions which make up college life are partly che carefree frisking of the tra ditional lamb, but they are in creasingly the nursery and train ing school of future Babbitts. “Socialization” I-r'-i “It is through them that the ambitious and sagacious young man learns how to “mix,” how to “make contacts" which will be useful later; learns, In short, What he was sent to college to leeca. He is not interested any more than his father usually is in edu cation and ideas, hut he knows even more surely than his father that college is the place'to gala social prestige and influential, friends—and his sister knows thpt it is worth while to spend a year at a college for women in order to be eligible for the alumnae club of her home town. Upholds Dollar Grubbing “While business has attracted many men of genius, of’genius vastly more Important than swarms of minor literati who look down on them, it has also, with entire impartiality, gilded the straightened forehead of the fool. Incomes of the illiterate In this country drive home the pain ful fact that education is a posi tive obstacle to financial success; that is why our university alumni are almost invariably wealthy or Well-to-do.” Pedagog Flays Women Teachers As Incompetent Professor Says Feminine Thinking is Ruining Young People WELLESLY, Mass.—(PIP.)— American thinking is feminine thinking, inculcated by women teachers, highly competent in de tail, immediate in its application, rigidly Idealistic regardless of the working facts, and weak on criti cal examination, Professor Robert E. Rogers, of Massachusetts In stitute of Technology told the six teenth annual national business conference at Babson Park here recently. The professor, who created a national sensation last spring by advising the senior class at M. I. T. to be snobs, analyzed “Our Young People” at the con ference. “Our boys and girls have not been taught to think,” he said. “They are interested in applica tions, not ideals and principles. They have had, in school at least, no fundamental instruction in the problems of ethics and conduct, in the problems of society and government, in genuine science as opposed to tinkering. Above all they have not been taught to crit icize or analyze. “They come to higher education and life with a settled conviction that the only allowable criticism is 'constructive,' as if one could construct without first tearing down. . . . “Whose fault is it? I will haz ard one unpopular guess. For half a century now the largest part of our young people have been trained exclusively by women teachers. The faults I have been speaking about are the faults of women teachers. Fifty years of this has produced a people incom petent to think politically and philosophically.” Work in Portland.

There never was a picture more replete with the laughs of twenty years ago than this one. It is outrageously slapstick, with crude comedy in almost every scene, but one laughs at even the oldest “Oscar, come bleed for lady” gag. The Marx brothers are relieved from time to time by an interest ing chorus and Mary Raton, Broadway star, whose singing voice isn’t so good in the talkies.
