EDITORIALS LEARN IF YOU CAN'T EARN It is with a feeling of gratification and a sense of pride that one views the number of students who are attending institutions of higher learn- ing. At our own school, the Eastern Montana Normal School, there are 356 students registered, an increase of 33 over last fall's enrollment. In this time of depression and financial pressure, the knowledge that America's young people are carrying on is inspiring. Many students are working their way through school; some have borrowed money; to all of them school and the desire for an education are very important. They all have courage and perseverance; otherwise they would not be willing to do almost anything to gain an education. Many of these young folk are \learning because they're not earning.\ They realize that more education and training will better fit them for their jobs. The value of a good sound education in every walk of life is being more and more recognized. America should be proud of her young people and their parents who are sacrificing many things for the sake of a distant goal. BIG GAME HUNTERS The duck hunting season has begun at last. Many were the mighty hunters who impatiently awaited the opening day. And now, on week- ends, everybody who owns a gun or can borrow one, sallies out. Early in the morning many start out and at different times during the day they wander back. Pardon, please! The victorious ones do not wander— they march or strut, and woe be unto the lady of choice who fails to appreciate the fact. Quite to the contrary are those who bag none at all. Why do they want to tell everybody just why they didn't get that measly teal or mallard or canvas-back, and how far they missed it?' They have our sympathy, but once is really all we care to hear about it. Last week-end one enterprising young hunter managed to bag one teal. Wonder how he felt? IT COSTS TOO MUCH \Honestly I think it's terrible the books we have to buy,\ is a com- mon remark along the corridors of E. M. N. S. At first it does seem terrible to freshmen and even to seniors, to pay ten to fifteen dollars for books, especially when money is as scarce as diamonds. However, have you ever stopped to consider just how much you receive from this small investment? Chancellor Brannon of Missoula, in his lecture given before the E. M. N. S. last year, gave a very interesting definition. \A creator citizen,\ he said, \is one who resolves to make the best of things as they are. He is hopeful and self-confident and has a general perception of faith that there are no limits to the good that may be derived from the universe.\ Let us change our attitude toward expenses at E. M. N. S. and, as Dr. Brannon would say, \have a general perception and faith that there are no limits of good that may be derived from our E. M. N. S.,\ in exchange for the small amount invested. Students who have attended this school realize the many advantages offered in the form of lectures, concerts and plays, as well as the excel- lent training received. Remember, you are attending school for the purpose of fitting yourself to help the children of today to become better citizens of tomorrow. A carpenter cannot carry out his work without proper tools; a physician cannot perform an operation without his surg- ical instrument; and so it is with you. You cannot learn how to help these children without your textbooks. They are necessary tools in your business. When you realize the many tools you are allowed to use through the E. M. N. S. library the few books you buy are but a small amount in comparison. You have invested in a business that pays huge dividends if you are only a sufficiently shrewd manager to collect your profits. REFLECTIONS OF A MERE MALE Oh boy! What a break for the girls. They did all the inviting of guests and all the asking for dances. But we can't object, for they out- number us eight to one. .\BY THEIR WORKS YE SHALL KNOW THEM\ The wonderful achievement of the placement committee in securing schools for all but nineteen of the one hundred thirty-nine graduates of last year is a source of pride to all connected with the institution. This success could not have been possible but for the fine service performed by the graduates in their teaching. \By their works ye shall know them\; superintendents and school boards have learned that Eastern Montana Normal School teachers have high standards of teaching and the training which makes that standard attainable. The responsibility for keeping that high record -rests upon the last year's graduates and upon each succeeding group. A. A. U. W. HONORS MISS MEEK AND MISS RICH At the biennial conference of the Montana division of the American Association of University Women held in Great Falls, October 13, 14, and 15, Miss Mary Meek of the Eng- lish department was elected state president, and Miss Pauline Rich, librarian, was chosen as secretary. Miss Meek has been state fellow- ship chairman and a member of the executive board of this association for the past two years. Group Is Selective The faculty and students of East- ern Montana Normal are proud to hear that Miss Meek and Miss Rich were chosen as officers in this or- ganization. It is the most selective of all educational associations, since only one per cent of the women in the United States hold degrees, and only those are eligible to national memberhsip in A. A. U. W. Miss Dewey and Mrs. McMullen also attended the meeting at Great Falls, as did several other members of the local branch. Greater University Supplies Leadership The Greater University of • Mon- tana is of great service to the A. A. U. W. in that many leaders have been chosen from the different units. Dr. Gladys Branegan, head of the Home Economics department at Montana State College, has served as president of the organization for the past biennium and is now a member of the executive board; Miss Anna Von Tobel, teacher of modern languages in Northern Montana College at Havre, was elected state fellowship chairman; Miss Rose Hargrave, teacher of English in the same school, has served as state program chairman for the past two years; Miss Jessie Duboc, supervisor of intermediate grade work in Mon- tana Normal College at Dillon was chosen as education chairman for the next biennium; and Miss Helen Gleason of the Home Economics Department of the State University has held this position as educa- tional chairman for the past four years. The next state conference will be held in Billings in October, 1934. MR. AVERAGE CITIZEN IS DUMB When we learn that Mrs. Theo- dore Roosevelt has had more than 300 letters congratulating her on the re-nomination of her husband for president, it does look as if the intelligence of Mr. Average Citizen is no great thing to shout about. Maybe Mrs. Average Citizen was guilty of writing a few of those letters. NEWS FROM OTHER CAMPUSES Depression or prosperity, it is all the same to students of Montana School of Mines at Butte, for a recent survey of the location of the 1932 graduates revealed that 12 of the 15 members secured employ- ment in their profession shortly after school closed last June. Student Building Voted Students of Montana State Col- lege at Bozeman voted four to one in favor of a proposed Student Un- ion building, for which a loan is to he sought from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. The loan is to be paid by $2 assessments against each student each quarter. The loan would be fully paid in 33 years. Collegiana Will Go On Publication of the Collegiana will be resumed this year at the State University at Missoula. This is a literary magazine, started last year to fill a need for student publica- tions which the Frontier and the Kaimin no longer fulfilled. Four issues were published last year, and the board this year plans to publish two issues each quarter. FROSH TAKE MANY TESTS The sixth annual psychological examination for students of E. M. N. S. was given at the High School Auditorium Wednesday evening, Oc- tober 12. The examination was in charge of Dr. Hines, assisted by four seniors, Alice Gleason, Mar- garet Arnett, George Richardson and John Peterson. One hundred thirty-two people took this test, but there are others to whom the test will be given later. During the second week of the quarter Miss Mary J. Meek, assist- ed by Grace Cain, gave the English Placement test to 225 first year students. The scores of this test ranged from 78 to 334. This latter score, made by Dorothy Walters of Columbus, has a percentile rank of 98. On Thursday evening, October 13, 160 students took the Seashore test in music given by Mr. Ridgely and Miss Barden. There are still about 60 people to' take this test. E. M. N. S. CONDUCTS RED CROSS ROLL CALL The Red Cross Roll Call cam- paign starts in Billings, November 16th, with N. C. Abbott acting as chairman. The students of E. M. N. S. under Mr. Abbott's capable direction, have conducted this drive for membership for four successive years. Competitive teams will make the progress of the drive interest- ing. Students are asked to volun- teer, in order to get in on the fun as well as the service. The drive will be launched at a school lunch- eon to be held in the gymnasium on Wednesday, November 16.
