(Corvallis Gazette-Times.) Jn the past month we presume twenty mothers and fathers have complained to this colm concerning the ‘'activities” the pupils have to indulge in. One man told us Friday that his son had spent so n uch time this year in operettas ¡and other fool outside adjuncts that he hadn’t had time to learn any lessons. I Several mothers have complained thut the cost of wardrobes for op erettas ha8 been prohibitive. One mother hud to take her children out of some of the sidelines because she couldn’t afford the expense. This broke the children’s hearts because ' 'the other children had costumes.” Another one complains that her daughter gets up about twice a week at 6 o’clock and goes to the college to play tennis "for wrhich she gets some credit towards gradu ation.” Feature that! “If she does any studying at night, be tween operettas, plays, class din ners, circuses, track meets, societies and other bunk, it makes it too early for her to get up and get the sleep she ought to have.” Another man has told us that he offered to bet one of the teachers that he could tuke 20 of her dullest pupils and put them under a teach or who was directed to teach them straight stuff instead of monkey Coming!

We think the male patron was asking an undue advan tage. His dull pupils would be getting about three times as much study time and attention as those trught in the regular way. Editor Ingalls runs his paper il the agricultural college city and if he is going to talk sarcastically about education he is likely to in jure his city’s greatest industry. And in the name of common sense, what does he suppose kids go to college for! Does he expect the flower of our youth to go there to wear their fair young lives away studying when it is much easier to wear out clothes in operettas, class dinners, track meets and many other forms of higher educa tion ? Certainly he wouldn’t expect to be able to coax kids to go to col lege unless they had someone to ti n ch them how to play, unless they had held out to them the allurement of being able to learn in which side of the plate to put the knives and forks at a social function, unless they were led to believe that putting on social pol ish and party clothes was the larg er part of education, unless there were sororities and fraternities in which membership is more import ant than 90 per cent grades in 1‘ nglish. Why shouldn’t kids he given ci edit on a college education for their proficiency in tennis and adeptnoss in getting up a party dinner? Colin Dyment, recently dis charged from a high position with the university of Oregon under circumstances which do no credit to the board of regents, has said that he does not wish to go back onto the faculty because he is not satisfied with what kids are getting out of college. But what. Dyment rays should have little weight.. He is a former metropolitan newspa perman and altogether too practical for these hifalutin days. Of course there are college stu dents—a fairly large number—who take college work seriously, who go there for the purpose of learn ing something, who do learn some thing, but they will have no chance in the world against those who passed high grades in social polish, proficiency with the racquet and nimbleness at track meets.
