Editorial
"Between education and training
there is a vast distinction. Educa
tion is an intellectual and spiritual
process. It has to do with opening
the windows of the human mind
and the human soul. It involves
the effort to understand, to compre
hend, to be sensitive to ideas, aspir
ations, and interests to which the
individual might otherwise be in
different Not so, training. Train
ing connotes improved ability to
do something, without deepened
understanding, widened sympathy,
or heightened aspirations. One can
train a bricklayer to lay three hun
dred bricks instead of a hundred
and fifty. One can train a stenog
rapher to increase her speed and
skill. One can train a cook or a
butler. But one educates in the
realm of thought, feeling and intel
ligence. Occasionally, to be sure,
training must precede education.
One must be trained to read, before
one can become educated In litera
ture; one must be trained to add
and multiply, before one can be ed
ucated in the higher mathematics
one must be trained to use a fever
thermometer, before one can be
educated as a physician. But al
ways training concerns itself with
tools and devices, while education
concerns Itself with something that
has Intellectual or spiritual content
and motive. Training is means
education is end." Abraham Flex-
ner.
Assembly Held Friday
The a assembly held last Friday
for the purpose of initiating new
members of the H club was a howl
ing success. There were three parts,
First was a skit by Don Cowdrey
and Olaire Phelan. It was enact
ed for the purpose of showing an
athlete's sense of humor, no doubt
The second part was a skit .-by
Keese Burkenbine and Bill Schwarz.
The point of the joke was blunt,
it's being so old. The last and most
convulsing part of the program
was a speech on women by Johnnie
Hanna. First he spoke of twelve of
the world's most famous women, in
cluding Margaret Nelson. When
told by Roy Gentry, president of
the H club, that his speech did not
have the right substance, Johnnie
cast some insinuating remarks
about certain members of the foot
ball squad and their "femmes."
"They're all right if you like 'em,"
said Johnnie, referring to the wo
men. ,
Demerit System Amended
The demerit system, when ex
plained to the student body last
Thursday by Beatrice Thomson,
student body secretary, met much
opposition. The opposers thought
a demerit would be given for every
little offense; also they thought five
demerits were too few for one se
mester. To compensate the differ
ences, June Anderson appointed a
committee from the four classes to
meet with the student council. This
was affected immediately and the
following amendments are ' the re
sult 1. The person receiving a demerit
must be an habitual offender.
2. The teacher must warn the
student before giving the first
demerit; the offense must be
serioua
3. The first demerit given by any
teacher won't reduce the ex
emption grade.

Substantial Breakfast Is
Important Health Factor
Starting the day with a good, sub
stantial breakfast is an important
faotor In healthful living, accord
ing to nutrition specialists. That
such a breakfast need not be ex
pensive is a point made by Miss
Lucy A. Case, nutrition specialist in
the extension service, who has pre
pared for free distribution a leaflet
giving suggestions for inexpensive
breakfast dishes. In addition to
general suggestions and 11 recipes,
two sets of menus are included, one
for the outdoor workers and one for
indoor workers.
Cereals such as rolled oats, corn
meal and coarse graham can be
purchased in large quantities, in
cloth sacks at a considerable sav
ing, says Miss Case. Wheat and
corn in condition as harvested, can
be taken to the nearest mill to be
cleaned and ground, for a small
charge. Unground whole wheat
has a variety of uses In the home,
many of which are noted in the ex
tension bulletin No. 450, "Uses of
whole wheat in the home."
Powdered skim milk is an inex
pensive substitute for skim milk
and can be used in such dishes as
cocoa, junket, scalloped vegetables,
pudding, ice cream and bread. Miss
Case explains. With the addition
of a half pound of butter to one
pound of dry skim milk, one may
obtain the equivalent of five quarts
of whole milk. Beet sugar costs
slightly less per 100 pounds than
cane sugar and has the same food
value and uses. Manufacturers' su
gar costs even less than beet sugar
though it is somewhat coarser.
Where the homemaker'a labor
has low money value a large sav
ing can be realized by making
bread at home, suggests Miss Case.
Another money saver is cooperative
buying of large quantities of foods
which may be handled without
waste.
Copies of the leaflet "Suggestions
for Inexpensive Breakfast Dishes,"
may be obtained from the home ec
onomics extension service, Corval- .
lis, or from any county extension
office.
